Biography:
Frank Deviley, who is the present candidate on the republican ticket for the office of sheriff, in which capacity he served most capably for one term, was born in Spa Belgium, on the 25th of April, 1868. He is a son of Alphonse and Antoinette (Dehan) Deviley, also natives of Belgium, where they were likewise reared and married. Subsequently the family emigrated to the United States, first locating at Danville, Illinois, where the father, who was a stone cutter, followed his trade. Later they came to Duck Creek, this county, the father engaging in stone cutting until 1907, when he retired from active work and removed to Green Bay. Here he passed away in 1908, at the age of sixty-eight years. The mother, who has passed the sixty-ninth anniversary of her birth is residing at Duck Creek. She is a daughter of Eugene Dehan, a stone mason by trade, and his wife, Desiree Delcourt. who came to the United States in 1884. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Deviley numbers seven, our subject being the second in order of birth. The others are as follows : Rosalie, the wife of Desire De Caster; Joseph, who is a resident of Green Bay; Mary, who married P. Gay ; Clara, the wife of P. Moes ; Anna, who married L. Barlamant ; and Palmyre, the wife of J. Boncher. Frank Deviley accompanied his parents on their removal to the United States and completed his education in the common schools of Illinois and Wisconsin. When old enough to earn his own support he laid aside his school-books, and learned stone cutting under his father. He followed his trade until his marriage, subsequently directing his energies along agricultural lines. He acquired a comfortable competence and has for some years past been living in Green Bay. Mr. Deviley has been twice married, his first union having been with Miss Margaret Williguet, a native of Howard township, this county, and a daughter of Eugene and Jane (St. Claire) Williguet, farming people who located in Brown county during the pioneer days. Of this marriage were born Martha, Lorenz, Herbert, and Norris and Norine, twins, all of whom are living at home. In 1907 the family mourned the loss of the wife and mother, who was forty-one years of age at the time of her death. The lady who now bears the name of Mrs. Deviley was formerly Josephine LaCourt, a daughter of Alphonse and Caroline (Laer) LaCourt. They were natives of Belgium, whence they emigrated to the United States in 1858, locating in Green Bay, where the father followed the trade of butcher, He was a veteran of the Civil war, having gone to the front as a member of the Second Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, remaining in the service for three years. Mr. and Mrs. Deviley belong to the Roman Catholic church, and fraternally he is affiliated with the Elks, Mystic Workers and Eagles. In his political views he is a stanch republican and takes an active interest in all local matters. He began his public career in 1899, at which time he was elected justice of the peace. He discharged the duties of this office for one term and in 1901 was elected to the board of supervisors in Howard township, while in 1903 he was made chairman of the township, serving in the latter capacity for four years. In 1908, he was the successful candidate for sheriff, and at the expiration of his term of office was appointed deputy. He is now up for reelection as sheriff of Brown county on the republican ticket. Owing to his long residence in the county and his connection with public life, Mr. Deviley has a wide acquaintance in this section of the state and is accorded the stanch loyalty of a large circle of friends of long years' standing.
