Cotterell, Geo. D., a member of the firm of Cotterell & Wilcox, was born at Black River Falls, Wis., in December 1856, when at the age of six he went with his parents to Prairie du Chien. After obtaining an education he entered a drug store of that place and clerked for sixteen consecutive years. In 1885 he went to Mitchell, Dakota, where for three years he was in the livery business. In 1889, in company with Mr. Wilcox he came to Spencer and purchased a drug store. Mr. Cotterell, by his long experience and studious habits, thoroughly understands the drug trade in all its ramifications. He is a careful and competent pharmacist. He was married in 1878 to Miss Anna Harrington. They have three children, Bessie E. Carrie and the baby.
