After her death, John married Mary Guhin, then was transferred in 1870 to Freeport, Illinois where Tracy's father was born. The Guhin family also left the Mazomanie area, moving to Manitowoc County. One of Tracy's aunts, Catherine (1857-1911), joined the Sinsinawa Dominicans and was prioress of the convent for three terms before her death in Madison at what is now Edgewood College. She was Sister Mary Bonaventure, in honour of whom Tracy received his middle name, Bonaventure.

Frank J. Tracy, the efficient clerk of the courts of Edmunds county and one of the leading and influential citizens of Ipswich, was born in Mazomanie, Dane county, Wisconsin, in September, 1861, and is the fourth in order of birth in a family of six children. His father, John Tracy, a native of Ireland, came to America with his parents when quite young, and his first employment was track work for a railroad company. He has been roadmaster for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad for the past forty-four years, his work being carried on in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa.

Our subject was educated in the common schools of Freeport, Illinois. At the age of seventeen he began his business career as telegraph operator, and in that capacity and as station agent was in the employ of the railroad for about sixteen years. He next entered the construction department and built roads, being thus engaged in Illinois for five years. In 1883 he came to Edmunds county, South Dakota, and took up land, which he held for six months and proved up. In the fall of that year the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad established a station at Ipswich, and he was made the first agent in charge of the same, occupying that position until 1887. The following year he was engaged in railroad construction, helping build the lines north and south of Roscoe, and also the Madison and Bristol line, and between Merrill and Minocqua, Wisconsin. In 1888 he took charge of the Faulkton station, but during the fall of the following year came to Ipswich and established the "Edmunds County Democrat," the only Democratic newspaper in the county. He has farming interests here, but his land is all operated by renters.

In September, 1891, Mr. Tracy married Miss Mary Barron, who was born and reared in Carroll county, Illinois, and died at Ipswich, in 1893. Her father, Thomas Barron, was a farmer and stock-raiser of Illinois. The Democratic party has always found in our subject a stanch supporter of its principles, and he has ever taken quite an active and prominent part in local politics, serving as a delegate to county and state conventions and as chairman of the county central committee for the past five or six years. In 1896 he was elected clerk of the courts of Edmunds county, and so acceptably did he fill the office that he was re-elected in 1898, and is now serving his second term with credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of his constituents.

James W. Guhin, an enterprising and wide-awake business man of Eureka, South Dakota, is a native of Wisconsin, his birth having occurred in Manitowoc county, June 17, 1863. His father, Patrick Guhin, a farmer by occupation, was born in Ireland and came to this country in 1849 during the famine in his native land. He married Miss Kelly, who was also born and reared on the Emerald Isle, and is a daughter of James Kelly, a prominent early settler and county official of Manitowoc county, Wisconsin. To them were born eleven children, nine sons and two daughters, of whom our subject is the second in order of birth.

James W. Guhin remained on the home farm and attended the country school until fourteen years of age, when he entered the high school of Manitowoc, from which he was graduated two years later. He then successfully engaged in teaching school in Manitowoc for three years. On the 21st of April, 1883, he removed to Edmunds county, South Dakota, becoming one of the very earliest settlers of Rosette township, and he helped move the first building to Ipswich from Freeport. He and a partner, F. J. Tracy, took up government land, on which they lived alone for ten months until they proved up their pre-emption. In November, 1883, they located in Ipswich, where Mr. Tracy took charge of the railroad station and our subject clerked in the office. At the same time they were engaged in the coal and machinery business at that place. In 1884 Mr. Guhin was elected the first city clerk, the town being organized that summer and he held the office for three years, at the same time continuing his connection with the railroad company. In the fall of 1886 he removed to Bowdle, where he embarked in the land, loan and insurance business, and the same fall he was the Democratic nominee for register of deeds in Edmunds county. On the 27th of July, 1887, he took up his residence on the present site of Eureka as its first settler and opened up the railroad station for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, the office being in a box car. He served as station agent here for nine years; during which time he also filled the office of justice of the peace for six years, and as clerk of the board of education for seven years. Leaving the employ of the railroad in 1896, he bought out the Eureka Elevator Company, of which F. W. Boettcher was proprietor, coming into possession of their coal shed and a part of their grain business, which he has since most successfully conducted. He is also general manager of the Eureka Telephone Company, of which he is a stockholder. As a Democrat, he takes quite an active and influential part in state and county politics, and is at present a member of the state central committee from McPherson county.

In October, 1887, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Guhin and Miss Maggie Doyle, who was the first bride in the town of Eureka. She is of Irish descent, but the family have made their home in America for many years. She was reared in Lawler, Iowa, and is a daughter of John Doyle, one of the earliest settlers west of Aberdeen, South Dakota, who has been engaged in the hotel business at that place and in Ipswich for the past twenty years. Mr. and Mrs. Guhin have an interesting family of seven children, namely: William; James; Frank; Clement; George; Reginald; and Mary Alice, a baby girl, who is the pride of the household.
