JOANNA C. HAMBLET
    Joanna C. Hamblet, the widow of Glover Hamblet, who was one
of the prominent citizens of Stevens county, is now residing on the
old homestead six miles northeast of Colville.  Since the death of her
husband in 1898 Mrs. Hamblet has been residing with her son.  Joanna
C. Hamblet was born in Ontario county, New York, on October 7, 1836,
the daughter of Daniel and Harnet Tibbets, natives of Vermont and
Connecticut, respectively.  The father fought in the War of 1812 and
received a wound in his shoulder.  He and his wife were parents of
thirteen children, three of whom are now living.  Our subject received
her first schooling in her native place and at the age of sixteen
married Glover Hamblet, a farmer of Algansee, Michigan, where they
remained three years.  Then they went to Iowa and farmed for eleven
years.  Next we see them near Omaha, Nebraska, next at Lincoln, spending
about three years in each place.  Nine years were then spent in northern
Nebraska whence they moved to Montana, then to the sound and two years
later, in 1891, they came to Stevens county where Mrs. Hamblet bought
the place which is now the family estate.  Nine children were born to
this union: Hattie, wife of John Camp, of Colville; Jennie, wife of
J. White in Nebraska; Seth, deceased; Lotie, wife of Fred Hutchinson,
in this county; Alma and Alice, twins, the former the wife of Elmer
Vifquain, in Nebraska, the latter the wife of Burt Steper, in Nelson,
British Columbia; Lem and Roy, with their mother; and Bernie, at Buffalo
Hump, Idaho.
