Wisconsin lumber baron Wilbur dies at 95 in Wisconsin
George H Wilbur, long prominent in the Burlington and Waukesha lumber trades, died after a life spanning Civil War service at Lookout Mountain and the Sherman expedition, extensive business expansion from Burlington to Wisconsin and Indiana, and leadership of the Wilbur lumber firm. Born in New York in 1839, he moved to Wisconsin in 1853, served as second lieutenant, and later built a regional empire with yards and mills in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana. He mentored sons and proteges, was active in civic and fraternal groups, and remained politically engaged as a Democrat, with broad interests in science and invention.
