Dupuis is one of the leading business men of Colville and is handling a good patronage in the livery line. Mr. Dupuis is in partnership with his brother, joseph, and they are enterprising and successful in their business. They have a full quota of rigs and some fine driving animals. Henry A. Dupuis was born in Ontario, Canada, on March 29, 1878, the son of Elie and Natolie (Leblanc) Dupuis, natives of Canada. They came to the Dalles, Oregon, in 1887 and to Stevens county in 1888, where they now dwell on a farm. Our subject was with the family in these moves and began his schooling in this valley which was continued in 1893 at Gonzaga College, in Spokane. At the age of nineteen, he started out for himself and soon entered partnership with his brother. For four years they were successfully engaged in farming. In 1901, they bought out their present business in Colville and since that date have conducted a first class stable and have, by their care for guests and skill in furnishing good rigs, won the patronage of the travelling public in a gratifying manner. They have twenty head of horses and fifteen rigs for the service here. They also own two hundred and forty acres of land.
