E. ROY EBY.

E. Roy Eby is one of the representative young ranchers of Yakima county, where
he has spent the greater part of his life. He was born, however, in Stephenson
county, Illinois, June 2, 1891, and is a brother of the Rev. Jacob A. Eby, who
is mentioned elsewhere in this work. He acquired a public school education,
passing through consecutive grades to the high school. and later pursued a
course in a business college in Portland, Oregon. On attaining his majority he
purchased forty acres of land from his father and has since rented twenty acres
more of the old homestead. His boyhood and youth had been passed under the
parental roof, so that he early became familiar with the best methods of tilling
the soil and caring for the crops. He therefore brought broad and valuable
experience to the starting point of his independent business career and through
the intervening period he has successfully cultivated his land, producing large
crops of hay, corn, potatoes and sugar beets. for which he finds a ready sale on
the market.

On the 11th of December, 1912, Mr. Eby was married to Miss Martha M. Anding, a
native of Chicago, Illinois, and a daughter of August Anding. Their children are
Eleanor, Lois and Emerson.	Both Mr. and Mrs. E by are members of the Church of
the Brethren and his political endorsement is given to the republican party. He
is well known in the section in which he resides as a progressive young farmer
and one whose worth of character has gained for him the respect, confidence and
goodwill of all with whom he has been associated.
