F. N. MUZZY

     a pioneer of 1887, was born in Sheboygan county, Michigan, in 1856. His
family moved to Buffalo county, Wisconsin, when lhe was eight years old and
resided on a farm there for sixteen years, then went to Brainard, Minnesota,
where he worked in the car shops for eight years. He next tried farming, for a
while, but soon afterwards came to Spokane county. After spending two years in
the cattle-shipping business he bought a pre-emption and some railroad land at
the head of Newman's lake, where he has since been engaged in farming. He raises
hay and beef cattle principally. He ranks among those who, though not ambitious
for leadership among their fellows, are industrious and self-reliant men and
substantial citizens of any community where they reside. He was married in
Wisconsin, in 1880, to Miss Lottie Bradford and they have five children. namely:
Guy, Gail, Jay, Earl and Lysle.
