ISAAC La FLEUR
	Isaac La Fleur is a native of north Washington, being born at 
Colville on August 25, 1865, the son of Mitchell and Mary Le Fleur, 
natives of lower Canada and British Columbia, respectively.  The parents
were married in Victoria and came to Colville in 1856, where they remained
until 1891.  In that year they moved to the vicinity of Curlew, where the
father died in 1898.  The mother still lives on the Spokane reservation,
aged eighty.  They were the parents of the following children: Telda,
deceased; Matilda; Joseph; Olive, deceased; West, deceased; John; Maggie;
Isaac; Edward, deceased; and Edward.  In the schools of Colville, our 
subject was educated, that place having better privelages than many of the 
frontier section of Washington.  When fifteen years old he left his books
and began work for himself.  He journeyed to Walla Walla and was there for
five years engaged in various occupations.  After this he came back to
Colville, then went to British Columbia, being occupied in the cow punching
business there one year.  Again he returned to Colville, then went to 
Nelson.  After that he settled in the vicinity of Curlew and gave his 
attention to farming, stock raising and freighting until 1901, whe he 
selected his present allotment, four miles south from Curlew, which 
consists of two hundred and forty acres, half of which he is now cultivating.
Mr. La Fleur raises stock and hay and is prosperous.
	In 1889, Mr. La Fleur married Miss Sarah, daughter of Stephen and
Mary Lambert.  To this union two children were born, Marie and Katie, who
have allotments in the vicinity of the father's estate and also own some 
cattle.
	In political matters Mr. La Fleur is a Republican and takes a 
lively interest.
	On March 26, 1904, Mr. LaFleur was married to Miss M.E. McKenzie at
Republic, Washington.  Miss McKenzie was born and educated in eastern
Canada.
