CLARENCE E. RINEAR

     a pioneer of 1879, was born in Cass county, Michigan, in 1874. When five
years old he came with his parents to Spokane county, where he was reared and
educated. He early learned the trade of a millwright and has worked at that
business most of his time for several years, also runs a steam thresher in the
harvest seasons, but his principal occupation is farming. He and his father own
a half-section of land near Mica postoffice, upon which they raise grain
principally, though they have a nice orchard, covering ten acres and give some
attention to fruit culture. Mr. Rinear is one of the bright, active, young men
of his community and a leader among the young people, with whom he is very
popular personally.  He was married, in Idaho, in 1893, to Miss Viola Shively,
and they have one child, Carl D.
