Biography
In early March 1860, the railroad’s board elected J.P. Ilsley as the road’s new superintendent.
“From all we learn of this gentleman, the Board has made a wise selection. As a reliable business man, we presume (he) has but few superiors. From his long connection with railroad affairs, he will doubtless prove a great acquisition to the Company.”
