BUXTON, Henry Luther, one of the younger members of the Milwaukee bar,
was born in Brant, Erie county, New York, on the 7th of December, 1853,
but came with his parents to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in April, 1859. Here
he attended the ward and high schools, completing their courses with
credit, and entering with enthusiasm upon the study of the law. After
some time spent in office duty he became a student in the law
department of Columbia College, New York City, from which he graduated
in the spring of 1877. Returning to his home in Oshkosh, he formed a
partnership for the practice of law with Moses Hooper of that city,
which continued for two years. Not long after he removed to Milwaukee
and opened an office in the city for the practice of his profession,
and has steadily continued in the occupation ever since. Well versed in
the law, attentive to the interest of his clients, quietly and
industriously performing all of his professional duties, he has
maintained a creditable standing at the bar and is a progressive
citizen.

In politics he is a Republican, but has not been especially conspicuous
in the counsels of the party, although he has the ability for efficient
work in political campaigns if he chose to exercise it in that
direction. He is not a member of any club or society or

church. On the 12th of May, 1883, he was married to Ida J. Jones, but
they have no children.

Luther Buxton, H. L. Buxton's father, is a physician and surgeon, was a
member of the New York legislature in 1853-4, and also represented
Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in the legislature of 1869-70. H. L. Buxton's
mother's maiden name was Sarah F. Wells, and the families were both of
English descent, but the grandfather Buxton fought for the freedom of
the colonies in the war of the revolution.
