The History of the Yakima Valley, Washington, Comprising Yakima, Kittitas and Benton Counties, The S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1919, Volume II, page 1028 CARLOS A. ENGLES. Carlos A. Engles, who is engaged in general farming in Yakima county, was born in Germany in 1841. His boyhood and youth were passed in his native country and in 1870 he came to the United States, after which he secured employment in Pennsylvania. He afterward worked in Minnesota for two years and in 1874 made his way westward to the Pacific coast, settling in California. There he engaged in ranching until 1885, when he came to the Yakima valley and purchased thirty acres of land five and a half miles southwest of the city of Yakima. Upon that place he built a home and has since occupied it. His attention is given to the raising of grain, hay and cattle and his well directed energies are bringing to him substantial success. In 1889 Mr. Engles was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Schroeder, of New York, who passed away in October, 1914. Mr. and Mrs. Engles became the parents of two children: Emma, at home; and Minnie, who has departed this life. Mr. Engles and his daughter manage the ranch together, the father depending largely upon his daughter, whose assistance and business judgment have been of the greatest benefit in the conduct of the ranch. They are pioneer people of this section of the state who have lived lives of intelligently directed industry, and they are highly esteemed wherever known. ******************************** Submitted to the Washington Bios Project in January 2008 by Jeffrey L.
