ARGYLE McLACHLAN.—The man bearing the name which heads this review is one of the
well known men of Imperial Valley. He is an enterprising, progressive and public
spirited man and a prominent factor in the development of the county. He was
born in Groton, New York, July 12, 1882, a son of Duncan and Hannah E. (Hill)
McLachlan. He acquired his education in the public and high school at Dryden, N.
Y. He then entered the University of Syracuse, N. Y., in 1900 and graduated from
that institution with the class of 1904, receiving the degree of A. B. He then
entered the government employ in the agricultural department and became
proficient in the department of cotton breeding, remaining with the government
for a period of ten years. In 1915 he resigned from his government position,
came to Imperial County and was elected president of the cotton growers'
association, which office he now holds to the entire satisfaction of his
associates. Mr. McLachlan was united in marriage at Victoria, Texas, December
20, 1910, to Miss Pauline V. Clark, a daughter of Robert and Pauline (Shirkey)
Clark. The father of Mrs. McLachlan was an extensive cattle dealer and was agent
for the Morgan line, extensive shippers in the south. To Mr. and Mrs. McLachlan
has been born one son, Argyle Jr., born September 9, 1915. Mr. McLachlan is
popular in both business and social circles, and he and his wife enjoy a large
circle of friends in Imperial County. Mr. McLachlan's grandfather came from
Argyleshire, Scotland, to America, in 1854, and is buried in the Groton
cemetery, N. Y.
