	STOUT, Henry Lane. (Huntington County, NJ, Oct. 23, 1814-Dubuque, IA, July 18, 1900). Lumberman. Stout amassed one of Dubuque's largest personal fortunes between 1853 and 1900. He came to Dubuque in 1836 at the age of twenty-two and began a small store with money gained from an investment in [[MINING]]. (1) By 1852 he had become such a fine salesman for the [[KNAPP-TAINTER LUMBER COMPANY]] that he was offered the opportunity to purchase a one-quarter interest in the company in 1853. (2) In 1854 Knapp-Tainter became Knapp-Stout Company. (3)		STOUT, Henry Lane. (Huntington County, NJ, Oct. 23, 1814--Dubuque, IA, July 18, 1900). Lumberman.

	Stout was a firm believer in expanding the company. Between 1866 and 1869, the company developed three new mills in Menominee, Downsville and Wauback, Wisconsin. These were used to manufacture lumber from the company's timber lands in the northern regions of Wisconsin. (4) The mill in Menominee eventually became the largest warehouse owned by Knapp-Stout and the company's headquarters by 1886. In 1866 this mill employed seven hundred, a number which increased to two thousand by 1898. (5)		Stout was a firm believer in expanding the company.
