JOHN LIEPP
	John Liepp, has been for some time one of the active and substantial 
men of the Colville valley, being interested for seven years in business and 
the last eight years in farming and stock raising. He was born in Wittenberg,
Germany, on April 8, 1846, the son of Julius and Christena (Nadela) Liepp,
natives also of the same country. The father died in 1892 and the mother in 
1876. Our subject has four brothers and sisters, Anna Heap, Jacob, deceased, 
Urcela, Mary Schanz. John received a common schooling in his native place and 
remained on the farm with his father until he was twenty-one. Then he came to
Baltimore and for two years was industrious in various callings. Next we see 
him in the vineyards of Missouri,where he spent seven years. It was 1877 that
Mr. Liepp made his way to Oregon and then journeyed through Washington,
visiting various places until he reached the Colville valley in 1855. Here he
settled and here he has been since, well pleased with the country and its 
resources. He entered business for the first seven years and then sold that 
and bought his farm,four miles south from Colville,where we find him at the
present time. He has improved his place with fine buildings, fences and so 
forth and is one of the substantial men of the section. Mr. Leipp devotes 
his energies to general farming and raising stock and hay and is prospered
in his labors. Mr. Leipp is an active Republican and is always keenly 
interested in the campaigns.
