Foote and Mott are general hardware dealers. The partnership was formed in the fall of 1878. S. A. Foote, of this firm, is the son of George A. Foote, a native of Delaware county, New York; he removed to Richland county, Wisconsin, with his family in 1856. He was a blacksmith by trade, but engaged in farming in Wisconsin; coming to Butler county in the spring of 1868, he settled on section 13, in Monroe township. He died November, 1877. His wife survives him and lies in Parkersburg, though still owning the homestead farm. S. A. Foote was born in the State of New York, in 1849. He engaged in the live stock business here in 1877, changing to the hardware trade in 1878. His wife was Hattie S. Burnham, born in Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. Foote have two children – Dotha and George, both of whom were born in Parkersburg.
