FRANK L. HULERY

     a landholder of Sherman county, and proprietor of the Phallmont Livery
Stable, Wasco, was born in Portland, Oregon, October 23, 1861. His father, John
M. Hulery, a native of Ohio, came to Oregon so early as 1853. He is a cooper by
trade and lives with our subject. The mother, Martha (Davidson) Hulery, died
when our subject was about twelve years of age, at Dayton, Yamhill county,
Oregon.
     The family located on a donation claim near Harrisburg, Linn county,
Oregon, and later moved to Portland. Here the father worked at the cooper trade
and, also, conducted a livery stable.
     Frank L., our subject, was reared in Portland until ten years of age.
Thence he accompanied the family to Dayton, where he continued his education in
the public  schools which had been commenced in Portland. After his mother's
death he lived with Captain W. S. Powell, an old soldier and Indian fighter, two
years. He then, began the world on his own account, and found employment in a
fishery near Astoria. Thence he went to Klickitat county, Washington, where, he
was employed by John Graham for whom he rode the range in the stock business for
five or six years. In 1883 our subject went to Morrow county and engaged in
sheep and horse raising with a brother. In this he continued two years, with
poor success, and then came to Sherman county and began raising horses near
Biggs, on shares with his father-in-law, John Graham. He had used his homestead
rights in Morrow county and disposed of his half section of land when he left
that vicinity. Two years after his arrival in Sherman county he moved to his
present home, six miles northwest of Wasco, and about two miles from Rufus. He
now rents a place of four hundred acres. He is, also, engaged in the livery
business in Wasco; the family live on the farm.
     At Goldendale, Washington, July 6, 1882, Mr. Hulery was united in marriage
to Sarah A. Graham, born near Hillsboro, Washington county, Oregon. She is the
daughter of John and Matilda (White) Graham. Our subject has four-brothers and
two sisters; John, a painter in Eugene, Oregon; George, a stockman near Wallace,
Idaho; Edward, of Ontario, Malheur county; Walter, of Tuscarora, Nevada; Ida,
single, living in Portland; and Josephine, wife of Mr. Bray, a commercial
traveler residing at North Forks, North Dakota. Mrs. Hulery has the following
named brothers and sisters: Albert R., a speculator and trader of North Yakima,
Washington; Carrie, wife of Luther Fletcher, of Yamhill county; and Louisa,
single, and residing at The Dalles with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Hulery have
four children, Pearl W., Thomas F., Frank W., and Minnie L. Our subject is a
member of Sherman Lodge No. 157, I. O. O. F., and Modoc Encampment, Grass
Valley; and the A. O. U. W., of Wasco. Politically, he is a Republican and has
frequently served as delegate to county conventions. He is a school director and
for many years has been director and clerk of the school district No. 6, Sherman
county.
