PERRY E. SOULE

     one of the most dependable and upright citizens of Chelan County, is a
native of Washington, having been born on the coast in Pacific County, fifty odd
years ago. He springs from a strong line of pioneer ancestry. His parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel P. Soule were pioneers in Wisconsin and moved from that state to
Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1853. In 1854, they removed to Oregon, and a few years
later settled in Washington where they homesteaded 1 60 acres of land. Our
subject grew up on this place, though according to his statement, he with his
father gave about half of their time to oystering which was an industry of some
importance. In 1889, he was married to Miss Mima Hoover, who is a native of
California, but grew up in Oregon, her parents having lived as pioneers in both
states. In 189 7, Mr. and Mrs. Soule came to the town of Wenatchee where they
lived about two years. They then removed to the Sam R. Holcomb ranch on Stemilt
Creek which they operated one year, and then took a five year lease on the James
Turner place one half mile beyond what is now Appleyard. At the close of four
years they purchased the ranch, on which they have since lived and prospered.
Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Soule: Samuel P., George H., Mrs.
Inez Seaton, Mrs. Elaine Reese, Lela and Frank, all of whom are living near
Wenatchee, except George, who was in the U. S. Army seven years, serving during
the World War, and who now lives in Michigan.
