GEORGE HERZNER
	George Herzner. Among the well-to-do and enterprising German farmers 
who are a credit to the state of Washington is the subject of this 
biographical mention. Only eight have elasped since his advent in the 
commonwealth,but those years have been improved by him in every possible 
manner,and it is not too much to say that he has been rewarded with 
unqualified success.
	George Herzner was born in Bavaria Germany,February 5,1852. His 
parents were Joseph and Annie (Beck) Herzner,who followed agricultural 
pursuits until their death. The children of the family were nine.Valberg,
Valentine,Mary,Feronica,Joseph,Annie,Mathias,Floran and George. The 
scholastic career of George was confined to the common schools of Bonsal,
Germany,terminating at the age of fifteen, when the boy began life on his 
own account.  Until the age of twenty he worked industriously on a farm,and 
then came three year's service in the Germany army. During the following 
eight years he pursued the life of a farmer,and in 1883 emigrated to the 
United States. He appears to have at once pushed on from the Alantic coast 
to Stevens county,Washington,where he located the homestead upon which 
now he resides. He has a fine quarter section of land,sixty acres of which 
are under cultivation,entirely fenced,with a substantial house,two good 
barns and other building facilities convenient for the stock business.
	Ottilie, the daughter of John and Frannie Camara,natives of 
Germany,became the wife of George Herzner,in 1892. She is a native of 
Germany where her parents followed farming until their death. She had one 
sister and three brothers Joseph,John,Peter and Hannah. Five children have 
blessed the union of George and Ottilie Herzner,Mary,Fannie,Rosa,Frederick 
and Joseph,all of whom at present reside with their parents and and assist 
in the cultivation of the farm. Politically,Mr.Herzner is by no means a
strong partisan,he being what can appropriately be termed a liberal in his
sympathies and affiliations. The interest which he manifests in local 
politics is strictly from the view point of a non-partisan,though deeply 
interested citizen.  Theologically he is a member of the Catholic church.
During his residence in Stevens county Mr. Herzner has won the respect and 
confidence of the community, and is recognized as an active and industious 
worker and self-respecting citizen.
