JOSEPH SAMBY
	Joseph Samby, who resides about five miles south from Curlew,
is a native of Washington, having been born in the Kettle river valley,
January 1, 1865.  His parents were Antoine and Mary (Assell) Samby,
both natives of Washington.  Our subject's paternal grandfather was
chief of the Kettle river Indians and upon his death the chiefship
was given to Tenasket.  Our subject's father died in 1891, being one 
hundred years of age.  During the late years of his life, he was 
totally blind.  For thirty years this venerable man and his wife, who
also died at a very advanced age, lived where our subject now dwells.
Joseph being youngest of the family, it fell to his lot to care for
his parents and consequently he was privelaged to gain very little
education.  While still very young, he began laboring and has been
very successful, for at the present time he has nearly four hundred
acres of good land and a nice band of cattle.  Eight acres of the estate
is devoted to timothy and forty to grain while the balance is used for
pasture.  He has a good barn and a small orchard.  Mr. Samby has 
always been a keen observer and has supplemented his lack of educational
training by careful personal research and he is to be commended for the
success he has made.
	In 1902, occured the marriage of Mr. Samby to Miss Katie
Telehitza and to them two children have been born, Susan and Alice.
	Fraternally, Mr. Samby is a Republican, while in religoius
persuasions, he and his wife belong to the Catholic church. Mr. Samby
has been a very fine example to his people in that he has taken up the
labor of the agriculturist and has successfully carried it forward.
He is a good citizen and one of the respeceted men of the community.
