	G.S. WOLVERTON, a hardware merchant of Spokane, was born in Oregon, in 1864,
a son of John and Mary J. (Neely) Wolverton, natives of Ohio and New York,
respectively.
	G.S., the subject of this sketch, and the youngest of seven children, took a
scientific course at the Monmouth College, Oregon, and was valedictorian in the
class of 1886. He also attended the Portland College. In 1886 Mr. Wolverton
located permanently in Spokane, Washington, although he was a property holder in
this city in 1885. In company with his brother, A.P., he now owns the Temple
Court block, a five-story building, one of the largest and finest in the city.
He also holds an interest in the Wolverton & Byrd Hardware Co., which is one of
the largest of its kind in the city, and is located in a fine structure on
Riverside avenue. Mr. Wolverton is erecting a residence in Brown's addition,
which is in keeping with progressive ideas and social standing.
	He was married, in 1890, to Miss Eva B. Prosser, a native of Ohio. They have
one son, Guy S., aged twenty months. In his political views, Mr. Wolverton is a
Republican. He is one of the wealthiest young men in Spokane, and his business
ability is beyond question.
