ELLSWORTH D. SCHEBLE

     who to friends and acquaintances is known as "Al," emigrated from Wisconsin
to Ellensburg, Washington, early in 1889, where he remained one year employed by
the Northern Pacific Railway Company.  From this point he went to the Puget
Sound country, and for about two years followed construction work on the Tacoma,
Olympia and Grays Harbor Railroad.  In 1892, or about the time of the change of
townsite location, he came to Wenatchee, and was for several years associated
with his brother, F. M. Scheble, in the hardware business. From 1899 to 1902, he
was in charge of the Wenatchee postoffice as deputy postmaster. In 1902 the
Wenatchee office was advanced to the presidential class, and he was appointed
postmaster for a term of four years by President Roosevelt.   In December, 1903,
he was married to Miss Zura B. Morse. Two children have been born to this
marriage: Joy and Donald.  As mentioned elsewhere, Mr. Scheble with four others
are the only ones of the city's population of 10,000, who have lived
continuously within the city limits from 1892 to the present time.
