VERN M. BISHOP is numbered among the representative men of El Centro. Among his
fraternal brothers he is known as one of the most reliable and worthy
representatives in his chosen lodge. Mr. Bishop has been honored by the members
of the B. P. O. E. and now holds the highest office that lodge can bestow on any
of its members, that of "Exalted Ruler." This office he has held since 1917. He
was born at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, June 19, 1875, a son of Ira D. and Albina
(Marshall) Bishop. Mr. Bishop received his education in the public and high
schools of Aurora, Nebraska. Later he attended the Bradley Polytechnic School at
Peoria, Illinois, and in 1890 he took the horological and optical course,
graduating from this college. He was identified with his profession in various
places before coming to El Centro, California. In 1913 he engaged in business
here with E. B. Smith, where he has met with marked success. Mr. Bishop was
united in marriage in Santa Ana, California, September 26, 1906, to Miss Nan
Cutler. One daughter, Virginia, was born to them on September 22, 1912. Mr.
Bishop's ancestors are of German extraction, but came to this country previous
to the Revolutionary War, and settled first in Rhode Island.
