John Jay Tracy, son of Ebenezer Carter and Martha Sherman (Evarts)
Tracy, was born December 23, 1843, at Windsor, Vermont. He received his
preparatory training at the schools of his native town, and entered
college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, 1860.
After graduating, he decided to
enter the army, and in September, 1864, he enlisted as a private
in Company K, Fourth Regiment, Vermont Volunteers. He spent the
Fall of 1864 in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, and the following
Winter in Petersburg, Virginia. He was mustered out of the Service
on July 18, 1865. He went immediately to Green Bay, Wisconsin,
where he became Principal of the High School, and continued to
occupy that position for two years.

During this time, he also pursued the study of law with John C.
Neville, Esq., of Green Bay, and was admitted to the bar of Wisconsin in
April, 1868. He commenced the practice of his profession immediately at
Green Bay, forming a copartnership with John C. Neville, Esq., under the
firm name of Neville & Tracy. After several years, the partnership was
dissolved, and he has since been alone, devoting himself to his
profession. He has succeeded in building up a very successful and
lucrative practice. He has been twice elected District Attorney of
Brown County, of which Green Bay is the county seat. He resigned
his position soon after entering upon his second term,
preferring to devote his attention to his private practice.
His religious preferences are Congregational. In politics, he
is a Liberal Republican.
