JOB PEACHEY

     a pioneer of 1887, was born in England in 1845. His earliest years were
passed in his native land, but when sixteen years old he went to Africa where he
lived for six years, then came back to England, thence to Canada where he farmed
for a time. He then returned to England, thence to Cape Colony, Africa, where he
farmed for six years, then back to the country of his birth again. He next came
to the United States, finally locating in Spokane county, where he took as a
homestead one hundred and sixty acres of land four miles northeast of Deer Park,
on which he has since resided. Mr. Peachey had been quite an extensive traveler
in former years and can converse in a very interesting and intelligent manner
upon the customs and scenes in other lands. While in South Africa he was united
in marriage to Miss Finchan, of Cape Colony. They have nine children, namely:
Ruth, Emma, Jessie, Ernest, George, Edith, Alice, Lillie and Alvin.
