FRED W. HASCALL
	Among the rising young agriculturists and stockmen of our county there 
are none more promising than the man whose name is at the head of this 
article. He is a worthy descendant of a distinguished family, a scion that 
promises to do honor to the ancestral tree. His family are direct descendants 
of Governor Bradford, who came over in the Mayflower.
	Our subject was born in Rutland county, Vermont, on January 17, 1866, 
whence his parents took him to Maine when he was four years of age, where he 
remained four years, returning at that time to Vermont. Here he remained until 
he was eighteen years of age, receiving in that time a good education from the 
public and private schools of that section. When he arrived at man’s estate he 
turned his face westward with continuous purpose until he landed in Umatilla 
county in 1884, and located at Pilot Rock. Here he commenced operations as a 
sheep herder for J. E. Smith and George Olcott, and continued there at for 
three years. At this time he had saved sufficient to warrant him engaging in 
business for himself, his first experience being with a bunch of cattle that 
he purchased. He also bought a ranch on Birch creek, where we now find him, 
having been continuously occupied in stock raising with this as his 
headquarters. To the original ranch he has added from time to time until he 
now owns an elegant domain of eight hundred acres, all of which is used to 
raise hay and for pasture for his large herds of cattle. He has some fine 
graded stock, principally cattle, although he was handling sheep for two years.
	In the city of Pendleton, on February 28, 1892, he was married to Miss 
Frances M. Mulkey, a native of this state, whose parents were early pioneers 
here. To them have been born three children, Percy E., Lester E., and Nettie 
E. In political matters Mr. Hascall has always manifested a lively and 
intelligent interest, being known as an Independent, believing that principle 
in politics is as useful as in any other line of business.
