FRANK PEBLEY

   Since 1915 Frank Pebley has been active as a member of the board of
supervisors in the upbuilding and development of Merced County and more
especially of the town of Atwater. He is now serving his third term on the
board, his first election being in 1915. He was born in Salem, Ore., on November
25, 1871, a son of Robert and Marcella (Gum) Pebley. The father, Robert Pebley,
crossed the plains to the Pacific Coast from Missouri in 1854 and located in
California, where he remained until 1866, when he went overland to Salem, Ore.
Remaining there until 1879, he went by team to Walla Walla, Wash., one year
after the Indian War; in 1880 the family moved to Olympia, Wash., where they
remained for eight years. They then came to California and located in the Buhach
Colony of Merced County. The Pebley family were among the first to settle in
this locality and they became successful farmers, and here the father passed
away in 1911. Mrs. Pebley died in 1873.

   Frank Pebley received his education in the public schools of Washington and
Oregon. He came to California in 1888 and stayed on the home farm with his
parents near Buhach until 1914 when he removed to Atwater, which has since been
his residence.

   The marriage of Mr. Pebley on December 10, 1899 united him with Miss Ora
Carter, one of California's native daughters; her father, J. E. Carter, is a
pioneer of Merced County, locating there in the late fifties. Mr. and Mrs.
Pebley are the parents of one son, Clinton W., who is married and has one boy,
Harlan Eugene, and resides in Los Angeles. In political matters, Mr. Pebley
prefers to vote independently of party lines. Fraternally, he is identified with
the Modern Woodmen of America, the Woodmen of the World, and the U. P. E. C. of
Merced. Mr. Pebley is a man who takes a keen interest in the prosperity and
advancement of his community, being ever on the alert to advance its best
interests.
