ALBERT MALLON.

Although Albert Mallon has acquired his present farm only recently he has for a
number of years been connected with agricultural interests in Yakima county. He
now owns eighty acres of valuable land on the Ahtanum and there he raises grain,
hay and potatoes, also successfully conducting a dairy. He was born in Germany
on the 4th of March, 1865, a son of Christ and Carrie (Kaiser) Mallon. The
latter passed away in Germany. The father and remainder of the family
subsequently crossed the Atlantic, taking up their residence in this country,
and in 1886 Christ Mallon and his son Albert became agriculturists of Hennepin
county, Minnesota, where the father followed agricultural pursuits until his
death.

Albert Mallon received his education in Germany, and having removed to
Minnesota, he there assisted his father and later engaged in farming
independently until 1903, coming in the fall of that year to the Yakima valley.
He engaged in ranching on Nob Hill until 1918, when he acquired eighty acres of
land on the Ahtanum and here he is now successfully following his chosen
occupation. The farm is in good condition and he has already made improvements
which characterize him as a progressive, modern agriculturist. He raises grain,
hay and potatoes and also successfully conducts a dairy.

In 1888 Mr. Mallon was united in marriage to Miss Amanda Fischer, who was born
in Germany and as a young girl was brought to the United States. Their marriage
occurred in Minnesota and to them have been born five children: John, a
resident of Yakima, who is married and has one child; Alma, who married John
Siegert, an agriculturist residing on Nob Hill, by whom she has a son; Emma, the
wife of Charles E. Barrett, of Bremerton, Washington, and the mother of one son;
and Helmuth and Richard. Mr. and Mrs. Mallon are respected by all who know them,
for they are reliable people who readily participate in measures undertaken on
behalf of community welfare. They are devoted members of the Lutheran church, in
which faith they were reared.

In his political affiliations Mr. Mallon is a republican. He is a loyal,
patriotic American and has ever given of his time and effort in order to promote
movements undertaken on behalf of the nation, state or district. There is great
credit due him for what he has achieved, as he began life empty-handed and is
now the possessor of a valuable ranch property.
