Ownership of lot in 1909 is identified as Charles Bartholomew (for IJ Lusk); Bartholomew is therefore presumed to be the builder. River Falls Journal, 3 June 1909: "Isaac Lusk has foundation for a house on 4th Street between Frost and Bliss." RFJ, 9 September 1909: "Chris Wiger is moving to his house on fourth street vacated by Isaac Lusk who moved to his new house near the Congregational church." |
