of the town, is engaged in farming and gardening.  He was born at Marble
Falls, Texas, October 3, 1853, the son of Henry and Eliza (Wilson) Flaugher,
natives of Ohio.  They removed to Illinois at an early day, and to Texas in
1848, settling in Burnet county, and engaging in the stock business, which
they followed fourteen years. In 1862 the father was killed by bushwhackers,
and the mother returned to Ohio, where she reared her family.  She was

lived twenty-one years in Snohomish county, Washington, engaged in farming,
lumbering, and the wheat business, and, succeeding a short trip to Texas,
came to Stevens county, where he at present resides. He has sixty acres of
land, thirty-one acres which are under cultivation, and he raises kitchen
garden produce and hay.  The property is fenced, supplied with good
