in Prineville, Oregon, on May 12, 1873. He is the son of William T. and Susan
(Heisler) Vanderpool, who is mentioned in another portion of this work. The
first ten years of' his life were spent in his native place, then he came with
the family to Fifteenmile creek and his education was completed at Dufur. He
remained with his father on the farm until 1901, when the latter removed to
Dufur and he rented the estate. Since that time, he has been handling the same
with good success, displaying energy and skill in his labors.      

At Dufur, on January I, 1900, Mr. Vanderpool married Miss Lillie Temple, who was
born in Nevada, on February 24, 1874. Her parents were William B.A. and Lavina
(Watson). Temple, natives of Indiana and now living retired at Dufur. Mrs.
Vanderpool has three brothers, Edward, Harry and Pearl, and two sisters, Mrs.
Lottie Mulkins and Erma.      

Fraternally, our subject is affiliated with the I.O.O.F. and he and his wife
belong to the Rebekahs. He adheres to the Republican party but is not especially
active. One child has been born to Mr. and Mrs. Vanderpool, Fern. Mr. Vanderpool
has taken up the work of handling, his father's estate when the latter retired
and owing to his natural ability and the careful training he received at the
hands of his father, he has been enabled to make an excellent success. The
Vanderpool estates are some of the best in the county and the father has been
known for years as one of the leading stockmen in this part of the state.
Presaging the future by the past, one is safe in asserting that our subject is
destined to be one of the leading citizens of the county and one of its worthy
and substantial men.
