It is not always the men of a community who make the greatest clamor and take the prominent places who contribute the most to its solid growth and development, but rather some of the quiet steady-going and persistent men who have left more indelible marks upon their town than a showy individual.  Among these reliables is Julius BELOW, pioneer tailor and chiropractor.  He studied the chiropractic profession in Elizabeth Hospital, Polzen, Pommern, Germany.  

Mr. [Julius] BELOW was born in Greminz, Germany, 29 March 1858, the son of August and Frieda (VON BORK) BELOW.  He attended the public schools of his birthplace and then learned the tailor trade and the profession now known as chiropractics.  Mr. [Julius] BELOW immigrated to the United States on 27 April 1881, and worked in New York City thirteen weeks before coming to Oshkosh [Winnebago County], Wisconsin, where for seven years he followed his chosen field of endeavor.  Mr. [Julius] BELOW was the third tailor to locate in Antigo, the others being Gustav ULRICH and F. MANTHEY.

On 10 May 1884 he [Julius BELOW] was united in marriage to Minnie HERRSSEN, then of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, but a native of Germany.  To this union eight children were born, namely:  Walter, of Antigo [Langlade County, Wisconsin]; Frieda, now the wife of Dr. A. G. TOHEY, Oshkosh, Wisconsin; Dorothy, now Mrs. Eugene SCHIDT, Elmhurst [Langlade County], Wisconsin; William, of Antigo; Erna, of Antigo; Leo, of Belle Plaine [Benton County], Iowa, who served in the [First] World War; and Herbert, of Antigo, who was ready to embark for camp when the Armistice was signed.  Another son, Werner, is deceased.

The BELOW family attend the Unity Evangelical Church, and the parental home is at 802 Lincoln Street, Antigo [Langlade County], Wisconsin.  Mr. BELOW has his offices in the Albers building.  He is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and the Mystic Workers of the World.
