JULIUS MEDLER

     The subject of this sketch, one of the younger members of the Medley
family, is a Sherman county farmer and general business man. He was born in
Cabell county, West Virginia, September 30, 1869. His father, Bruno F. Medley,
who is mentioned fully in another part of this volume, is one of the most
substantial and prominent citizens of Sherman county. He was born in Germany,
October 2, 1839. The mother of our subject, Minerva J. (McLavey) Medley, was
born in West Virginia. Her ancestors were Pennsylvanians.
     Julius Medley, our subject, is a single man and resides with his parents,
taking an active part in the cultivation of the farm. He was educated in the
public schools of Sherman county, and at Walla Walla, Washington. Politically
the principles of Mr. Medley are in line with those of the Democratic party.
     Mr. Medley is in partnership with his father and brother, Frederic, in
farming the old home place of seven hundred acres. They handle about four
hundred and fifty acres to wheat annually, and have the place fully equipped
with all modern conveniences and machinery, among which may be mentioned the
combined harvester which requires thirty-two horses to operate and which
harvests and threshes thirty-five acres of wheat in one day.
