DAVID STILL
	This enterprising and capable agriculturist, stockman and business 
man, has long held a prominent place in the affairs of the county, being 
esteemed as a wise and substantial citizen and a competent manager of 
extensive enterprises.
	His birth occurred in Canada, on May 13, 1856.  He received a liberal 
public school education in his native land, where he also remained until 1882, 
the date of his advent into the United States.  He first settled in Dakota, 
occupying himself with carpentering there until 1886, and then came west to 
this county.  Here also he wrought at the bench for two years and then bought 
two hundred and forty acres of land where he now lives, two and one-half miles 
south from Milton.  To this his thrift and industry have enabled him to add 
nearly as much more, in addition to gaining considerable good city property in 
Astoria, Oregon.  He also owns a share in a large steam threshing outfit, 
which he operates during the harvest season.  His estate is well improved and 
he is raising some fine thoroughbred cattle and other stock.
	Our subject was married to Miss Minnie, daughter of W. G. and Rachel 
(Lee) Bade, old pioneers of 1867.  Mrs. Still is a native of this county, 
being born on the old homestead one mile below where she now lives.  To this 
couple has been born two children: Clarissa M. and Clifford A.  Mr. Still and 
his wife affiliate with the Congregational church of Milton, where they take 
an active interest in its affairs, being ardent supporters of their faith, 
both by liberal donations and a life of practical exemplification of its 
teachings.  Mr. Still is also a member of the Pioneers of the Pacific at 
Milton; and so demeans himself that he has won the confidence and esteem of 
all who may have the pleasure of his acquaintance.
