Above is a. likeness of George Eckler, a. veteran sawmill man, son of a. pioneer sawmill man. George was born in 1876 on Eckler mountain four yea.rs after his paren ts moved into that (then) wilderness a.nd started the first mill on the mountain. George got bis initiation into the business when he was 11 years old and spent the summer tottin' drinking water from a. spring for the cr ew. When he was 20 he took on his first responsible job, "setting rachets." His career as a sawmill man was interrnpted in 1898 when he went to the Philippines with the First Washington Volunteers.

Back home in 1900, he's been sa.wmillin' ever since. C-D Photographer Pat caught George at the Scott l\lill just as they were recently completing their season's run. George has been millwright since the mill

'reopened. Previous to that he was sawyer, a job he soon achieved after returning from the Philippines. He sawmilled li years in Oregon ~here I r ~ally learned sawmillin'," he said. He returned to Columbia. county mills in 1920 when he came back to saw ·for the late Terry ·Jaekson on Newby mountain in 1920. ---------------- - -

WILLIAM H. YENNEY.

The great wheat fields of \.Valla ¾Valla county an<l the sui-roui1ding sections of this state and of northern Oregon are always a matter of marvel to the traveler, who thinks of the west as a region of mines and of forests nnd liltlc realizes what wonderful strides have been made along ngriculturnl lines. 1 >rominent in con-nection with farming interests in 'Walin Walla county is \Villinm 1-1. Yenney, who superintends his operations from his dty home.

He was born in this county October 17, 1869, arnl i:,; a son of .Philip and Rachael (Winnett) Yenney. He spent his early youlh on the old home farm

and was educated in the district schools and in Whitman College, which he attended for two years. After reaching a<lult age he continued to remain on the old homestead and cooperated with his father in the latter's extensive farming and horse ndsing entei"prises. Since his father's death he ancl his brother Lewis have operated the farm in partnership and are classed among the most successful agricultm:ists of \,Valla \-Valla county. TheJ·e is no phase of progressive farming with which they arc not familiar and their thoroughly up-to-date methods produce splendid results. They have broad wheat ·fields and also produce other crops, while at the same time they arc extensively and successfully engaged in stock raising. In the spring of 1917 W. H. Yenney removed to Walla Walla, where he now lives in a handsome new residence at No. 20 Merriam street.

At Dayton, \Vashington, Mr. Yenney was united in marriage to Miss Cora Edgell, a daughter of William and Sarah (Kuykendall) Edgell, of Illinois. To Mr. and Mrs. ·Yenney have been born four children, namely: Frank, who is now on the home ran_ch; Philip, now a·ttending high school; and Clark and Richard, also in school. Philip Y cnney is president of the champion football team of the northwest, which is the Walla Walla high school team. It has defeated all compctilors in the northwest and also the Salt Lake City team.

n-Ir. and l\tirs. Yenney arc acti.ve workers on committees for the successful prosecution of the war, being prominently connected with the work of the Red Cross, the Young Women's Christian Asso~iation an<l the Young. Men's Christian Association. Mrs. Yenney is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and, like her husband, enjoys the warm regard and friendship of all with whom she has been associated. Her home is noted for its warm-hearted hospitality and is the center of a cultured society circle. Fraternally Mr. Yenney is connected with ·washington Lodge, No. 19, I. 0. 0. F., and he gives his political allegiance to the democratic party. He is regarded as one of the foremost business men of Walla 'Walla county and there is no phase of modern day ent_;!Rrise having to do with farming operations with which he is not familiar.

James E. Edmiston

HON. JAMES EWEN ED1\1ISTON, deceased, was one of the highly esteemed and wealthy citizens of Dayton, whose death on May 8, 1900, was universally mourned. He was born on March 29, 1849, in \i\Tashington

county, Arkansas, at his grandmother,'s farm near Prairie Grove. His father, Alexander E., was born in Virginia and settled in Arkansas early in the nineteenth century. He fought in the :.\Iexican war, being lieutenant under Colonel Yall and his death occurred in 1858. He was a thrifty man of forceful character and unquestioned integrity. He left a fine es-. tate to his wife and four children, our subject heing the eldest. A few years previous to his death. he had liberated his slaves, being convinced that human slavery was wrong. During the terrib]e CiviJ \Var, the vicinity of their home was the scene of ·grca't atrocities by vil]ainous men from both parties. Near the close of the war, our subject being then fourteen years of age, enlisted under the Confederate flag-, wlu.•n• he had riv<.' 1111dc.·s fig·h1i11g· for the.~ eansc.•. \ \'lw11 I h,• war dns,•1I.

Lacey who was born in Clackamas county, Oregon. The Laceys descended from French Tl ngncnots who fled to the New vVorlc] hecause of persecution in the seventeenth century. Mrs. Edmiston's father, Lewis A. La~ey came to Oregon in 1852, accompanied hv his wife, Leonora (Herring) Lacey, a native of Swansea, Wales, the marriage ceremony having been completed fifteen 1~1inutes before they started from Mt. Morris, New York. Their trip across the plains with ox teams was attended · with great trouble and danger., at'tacks from the Indians. the dread disease, cholera, and other things combining to this end. Mr. Lacey's brother. his brother's wife and child all died from mountain fever, and many other members of the little band

and whose influence was always for the betterment of mankind. He had a clear and high sense of honor, was Joyal and kind, forcefu] and keen at the ba[ and with all a true gentleman. Five years have now passed since his ·demise and his widow still lives in the old 11ome in Dayton and as a partial recompense for so much sorrow, ·time has dealt gently with her. Six times has she stood at the open grave of her loved ones, having lost all her children previous to her husband's death. She has passed through the or.deal with that same degree of fortitude so characteristic of the wife of our martyred prcsidcn1t, \Villiam McKinley. She is beloved, honored and respected by· all who know her. Mrs. Edmiston is a 111ember of the 0. E. S. and past grand matron of the state of Washington. Like her husband did, she takes great pleasure and pride in doing everything possible for the upbuilding and the welfare of Dayton and the surr.ounding

HON. JAMES EWEN EDMISTON.

High on the roll of Washington's distinguished citizens appears the name of Hon. James Ewen Edmiston, deceased, who was for many years a resident of Dayton. His ideals of life were very high and in early manhood he 9isplayed conspicuously the traits of character that made his career brilliantly successful. He performed all the duties that devolved upon him, however humble and however small the recompense might be, conscientiously and industriously. He gave proof of his ability to cope with intricate problems of the law and his natural industry prompted him to prepare his cases with great thoroughness and care, so that he ever entered the courts well equipped to combat any attack or position of the opposing counsel. He lives in the memory of his friends enshrined in t11e halo of a gracious presence and of pronounced power in the legal profession. .

Mr. Edmiston was born in Washington county, Arkansas, March 29, 1849, a son of Alexander E. Edmiston, who was a native of Virginia and removed to Arkansas early in the nineteenth century. He was a veteran of the Mexican war, serving as a lieutenant in his company under Colonel Yall. A forceful man of unquestioned integrity, he won a substantial financial success and left a valuable estate to his widow and four children, 0£ whom James E. Edmiston was the eldest. A few years prior to his death, becoming convinced that the principle of slavery was wrong, he liberated all of his bondsmen. During the pvil war the vicinrty of his home was the scene of great atrocities by ·both northern and southern renegades. He died in the year 1858.

James E. Edmiston, when a lad of fourteen years, enlisted in 1863 in the Confederate army, in which he had five uncles fighting for the cause. After the close of hostilities he returned to his home in Arkansas and remained long enough to assist in putting the plantation again into shape. He then went to Bentonville, Arkansas, where he attended the Bentonville College for two years, and while a student there he also taught school. In 1870 he ,vent to Omaha, Nebraska, whence he made his way to the Pacific coast. He taught -school for a time in Oregon and also pursued a course in the Corvallis College, from which he received his degree in 1873.

On the I 3th of March of the same year Mr. Edmiston was united in marriage to Miss Helen E. Lacey, a native of Clackamas county, Oregon, and a daughter of Lewis A. Lacey, who was_ of French-Huguenot stock, his ancestors· having fled to the new world because of religious persecution early in the seventeenth century. The paternal grandfather of Mrs. Edmiston was an officer under Washington and Lafayette in the Revolutionary war and he lost two of his fingers in the battle of Bunker Hill. His son, Lewis A. Lacey, came to the northwest in

-~--- Or- ..2<>:2 -Jd.:!J--.:20 ~

1852, making his way to Oregon accompanied by his wife, Leonora (Herring) Lacey, who was a naitve of Swansea; Wales, their marriage ceremony having been· performed at Mount" Morris, New York. The services were completed · about fifteen minutes before they started on their westward journey to Indiana and from there they traveled with ox team and wagon to Oregon. Mr. Lacey's brother, his brother's wife and child died of mountain fever while en route and many other members of the party were buried by the side of the trail. They suffered on account of hostile Indians and the journey was a most hazardous and difficult one. On reaching the Willamette valley Mr. Lacey took up a donation claim and gave hfa attention to farming and stock raising, spending his remaining days upon the old homestead at Springwater in Clackamas county, where he passed away in 1899, at the notable old age of ninety-four years. His widow died on the 1st of March, 1900, at the age of seventy-one years. · Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Edmiston removed to Colfax, Wash

ington, where for three years he was engaged in teac;hing school. In 1876 he took up his abode in Dayton, where for some years following he devoted his attention to teaching and then engaged in selling- farm machinery. He also operated a large sawmill and was identified with various other business in~erests which have ·contributed to the material development and progress of this section of the state. Mr. Edmiston had been educated with a view to entering the ministry but subsequently turned his attention to law and pursued his reading under the preceptorship of John Y. Ostrander. In 1885 he was admitted to the bar and entered upon the practice of his profession, becoming one of the prominent lawyers of Columbia county. If c then continued in active practice until a short time prior to his death, ,vhich occurred on the 8th of May, 1goo. In his la\v practice he was long associated with Judge C. F. Millet· and their friendship relations were very close. ,.!."'heir practice was extensive and of an important character. l\fr. Edmiston was rcmarknhle among lawyers for the wide research and provident care with which he prepared his cases. At no time was his reading ever confined to the limitations of the questions at issue. It went beyond and compassed every contingency and provicl<'cl not alone for the expected but also (or the unexpected, which happens in the rnurts quite as frequently as out of them. l lis legal lc,m1}ng, his analytkal mind, the readiness with which he gra~ped the points iii an argument all comhi11ccl to make- him one of the capable attorneys at the bar of Columhia l'nm1ty and the public and the profession acknowledged him th~ pl't'r of th<" ahlc:-t n·g-:mling- him as a jurist of exceptionally rare ability.

Aside from hi:- pr11fr:-:-ional cmmcctions Mr. Edmiston figured very promirlt'ntly in thl' pulilic life of the community. At one time he served as superintl·ndcnt of i-dmols of Cohrmhia county. He first came prominently into public notice whl'll t.'lcl'kd a mcmht~r of the upper house of the Washington territorial Jrgislature and for many years he was a member of the state central committee of the d~moaatic party. In 1&)4 he was offered the nomination for governor hut rcfttsl·d to h(•comc a candidate. While undoubtedly not without that laudable ambition whkh is so \'aluahlc as an incentive to public service, he nevertheless regarded the pur:-uits of private life as in themselves abundantly worthy of his best efforts nm) with remarkable fidelity he labored for the interests of his clients. It is said that hr ne,·t•r lost a case which he appealed lo the supreme court. In 1886 he wa~ prosccuti•ng attorney of Columbia county.

/~

Mr. Edmiston was considered the highest authority on Masonic jurisprudence in _the state and was chairman of that committee in the grand lodge for ten years. He was past grand master of the state of Washington and past grand patron of the Eastern Star. There was a close relationship between him and Dr. Van Patten, who was his family physician from 1884 until his death and has continued as such to Mrs. Edmiston. They were the best of friends and while not ·associated together in business often consulted one another on business matters. Mr. Edmiston was leader of the choir in the Presbyterian church for many years and in this work was also associated with the Doctor and together they often took vacation trips. It was the earnest desire · of Mr. Edmiston that Dr. Van Patten allow himself to be put in line for higher Masonic honors} which eventually resulted in the latter becoming grand junior warden in 1901 and grand master in 1904.

For a long period Mr. Edmiston was collecting data for a history of southeastern Washington but died before the completion of the work. He was president of the board of regents of the Washington State College at Pullman and on the day of his buriaf the college was closed in respect to his memory. Every business house and the schools of Dayton were also closed and the day was given over to sincere mourning by the entire community. He was buried with Masonic honors and the Grand Lodge of Washington took charge of the funeral services, the Hon. Levi Ankeny, past grand master of the state, officiating. The bar of Dayton passed appropriate resolutions and every mark of respect that could be shown, both in a public and a private way, was evidenced. He was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian church and was a teacher in its Sunday school for many years. Much more might be said in eulogy of this man, who was loved by all who knew him and whose influence was always for the betterment and. uplift of mankind. His memory is enshrined in the hearts of those who knew him and remains as a blessed benediction to those who were his associates while he was still an active factor in the world's work. Mrs. Edmiston stiJI lives in the old home in Dayton. She is a past grand matron of the Order of the Eastern Star and is now in charge of the Dayton Branch of the Red Cross, in which work she is very active, giving freely of her time and energies as well as her means and efforts to improve the conditions under which the young men of the country must serve in a military capacity. She was formerly president of the Monday Reading Club and has long been foremost in social circles and in welfare work in the northwest. Both Mr. and Mrs. Edmiston belong to that class who shed around them much of the sunshine of life.
