From "History of North Washington" Published 1904 Transcribed by Nancy Grubb (nancyg@theofficenet.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLAUD STOLP Claud Stolp. The enterprising young gentleman whose name appears above is a member of a firm which is conducting a sawmilling plant about one mile north of Chewelah. Although he is not a native of Stevens county, still nearly his entire life has been spent here,and he is a son in which the county may take a pardonable pride. Claud Stolp was born in Medicine Lodge,Kansas,on November 11,1879,the son of M.C. and Ida J.(Lucas),who are mentioned in another portion of this work. Claud was brought to Stevens county when he was four years old and at the public and high schools in Chewelah he was trained in educational matters. He also received excellent training from his judicious and wise father and and for years assisted him in the sawmilling business,where he gained a practical knowledge of the same that can not be had in any other way. In 1902 he entered into partnership with John W.Story and Perry S.Story, and together they constructed the plant which they are now operating. In addition to this Mr.Stolp owns a half interest in two hundred acres of fine timber land. He has a good plant,and it is conducted in a first-class manner. Politically Mr.Stolp is a good active Democrat,while fraternally he is aff- iliated with the Maccabees and Good Templars. He is also a member of the Christian Endeavor society. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, material may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material, AND permission is obtained from the contributor of the file.
