CHARLES H. WESTON

	Charles H. Weston, residing seven miles east of Bossburg, Stevens
county, is engaged in the lumber business and general farming.  He was born
in Milton, Oregon, July 17, 1881.  His parents were E.S. and Elizabeth
(McCoy) Weston, the father a native of Iowa and the mother of Texas. 
Sketches of the parents of Charles H. Weston, our subject, appear in another
portion of this work.
	Until the age of sixteen our subject attended the district schools 
in the neighborhood of Farmington, Washington, and then he began the world 
on his own account, following the occupation of farmer for two years.  He 
then turned his attention to mining, and prospected in various localities 
two years more, and then engaged in the sawmill business in the vicinity of
Bossburg.  He now has seventy-five head of horses, and is largely interested
in mining enterprises in British Columbia.
	The father of our subject, Eli S. Weston, came to Washington in 1886
and located in Stevens county, where he engaged in farming. Our subject has
one brother and three sisters: William E., Jessie N., Mary E., and Lillian 
B. Politically Mr. Weston is a staunch Republican, and takes a patriotic 
interest in local politics.
