HENRY TROGER

	Henry Troger is one of the pioneers of the Hunters country in
Stevens county, having come here on an anniversary of his birthday,
August 23, 1882.  His fine estate is of one section of land lies about
two miles southwest from Hunters and is a first class place.  He
settled on a quarter section, and had but little means besides a team
and wagon.  Since then he has continued here with industry and close
attention to business and has now a large estate, well improved with
large eight room house, two commodious barns, irrigating ditch, plenty
of fencing and so forth.  He handles about one hundred acres to timothy
and alfalfa, corn and other crops and is a prosperous man.
	Henry Troger was born in the vicinity of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania,
on August 23, 1851, the son of Andrew and Catherine Troger, natives of
Germany.  They came to this country when young, married in Pennsylvania
and later came to Iowa county, Iowa, where our subject grew up and was
educated.  In 1874, in company with his brother, Louis, he went to
Plumas county, California and there wrought for wages for six years.
In 1880, they came to Lincoln county, before Wilbur was located, and then
journeyed on to the present place.  Here location was made and here has 
been the scene of his labors since.  Few settlers were above the mouth
of the Spokane in this section.
	On September 29, 1886, Mr. Troger married Miss Cora, daughter
of James and Martha (Cleveland) Hunter, among the very first settlers of 
this part of Stevens county.  Mrs. Troger was born in California.  Five 
children have been born to this union, Carl A., Bessie A., Neil R.,
Alma H., Henry I.  Mr. Troger takes a keen interest in local matters
and especially in educational affairs.  His father died in Iowa recently
but the mother still lives there.
