Benjamin F. Fontaine (February 27, 1837 – January 9, 1910) was a Belgian American hardware merchant and politician. He served as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1880 and 1881, representing northeast Brown County.[1]

Biography

Fontaine was born in 1837 in Belgium, and was educated to the standards of the time.[2] He moved to the Town of Green Bay in 1855 and later moved to the town of Scott, where he lived from 1860 to 1864 and was town chairman in 1863.[3] From there, he moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1865 and started a hardware business in 1870, which he maintained until 1907.[3]

He was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly from Brown County's 1st Assembly district for the 1880 session and was re-elected for the 1881 term.[2] Fontaine was one of the first Belgian-American immigrants to northeastern Wisconsin to serve in the Assembly; others included Joseph Wery, Constant Martin, John B. Eugene and Grégoire Dupont.[1] Immediately following his time in the Assembly, Fontaine served two terms on the Green Bay City Council.[3] In 1892, Fontaine was a founding member of the Belgian Republicans Club in Green Bay.[4]

Fontaine was married and had four children. He died on January 9, 1910, and was buried at Fort Howard Cemetery.[3]
