WILLIAM H. GULLIFORD
	This leading and representative citizen of Umatilla county, well known 
and respected by all, has frequently been honored by his fellows placing him 
in a position of trust, which he has ever filled with that integrity and 
ability that are characteristic of his entire career, while his life of 
brilliant success in business affairs is a bright example of industry and good 
financiering.
	His birth occurred in Lane county, this state, on July 10, 1861, 
whence he was early removed by his parents, John L. and Julia Gulliford, to 
this county.  He was educated in a private high school in Pendleton, and at 
the age of eighteen years commenced life’s activities on his own account.  His 
first undertaking was herding sheep, at which he continued for three years, 
when his savings warranted him in purchasing a small band, which he did and 
located on a homestead on Butter creek.  He then went into partnership with 
his brother, Arthur, which relation has continued uninterruptedly since.  
Prosperity has smiled upon them as a reward for their industry and 
carefulness, for to-day they number their flocks between seven and eight 
thousand, while their real estate aggregates over five thousand acres.
	On May 10, 1891, he was married to Miss Myrtle E. Montgomery, a native 
of Denver, Colorado.  To them have been born two children, Lillian C. and 
William H., the latter deceased.  He affiliates with the W. of W., Camp No. 
41, of Pendleton.  In political affairs he takes an active part, believing it 
the duty of every citizen to assist in handling the matters of public import.  
He has frequently been chosen to attend the Republican conventions as well as 
to the office of school director for a number of terms.  He is respected and 
esteemed by all and is an exemplary representative of this progressive 
commonwealth.
