GARLAND DORMAN

	Garland Dorman.  The scion of a family prominent in the Colville
valley, as their ancestors and relatives are and have been in the east, 
a rising young man of ability and bright prospects, whose standing is
of the best in the community, it is quite fitting that the subject 
should be entitled to representation in this volume.
	Garland Dorman was born in Meeker county, Minnesota, in 1880,
the son of Harrison and Sarah (Townsend) Dorman, natives of Maine and
Iowa, respectively.  They settled in Minnesota when young, and in 1886
moved from Meeker county, that state, to Spokane.  Five years later, they 
came to Stevens county where they reside at the present time.  The father
is a cousin of General Putnam and his history is mentioned more 
particularly in another portion of this volume.  Our subject was educated
in Spokane and in the Colville valley, and at the age of twenty he 
inaugurated independent action.  Various employments engaged him until
he took his present estate, four miles north of Addy, as a homestead.
Since then he has devoted himself to improving his farm and to handling 
timber products.  He owns considerable valuable timber, has a first 
class logging outfit, and does a good business.
	On October 23, 1901, Mr. Dorman married Miss Sadie, daughter of
D.C. and Mary (Nash) Eley, natives of Iowa.  Mr. Eley is a veteran of
the Civil War and ex-county auditor of Stevens county.  Mr. Dorman's
brothers and sisters are mentioned in his father's history.  Mrs.
Dorman has five brothers and one sister:  Hiram, Charlie, George,
Fred, Eugene and Mamie.
