HENRY STAHLHUT.

Henry Stahlhut, engaged in ranching near Sunnyside, was born in Mount Morris,
Illinois, November 19, 1850, a son of Augustus and Frederica Stahlhut, who were
pioneer settlers of Illinois, where the father devoted his life to the
occupation of farming and both passed away in the year 1899.

Henry Stahlhut acquired a public school education and followed farming in
connection with his father. He afterward operated his father's place from 1876
until 1902, at the end of which time he sold the property and came to Yakima
county, purchasing twenty acres of land three miles northeast of Sunnyside. It
was an improved property on which he has since engaged in the raising of hay
and corn. He has built a modern residence upon the place and added other
attractive improvements which make his one of the desirable properties of the
district. His life has been one of industry and thrift, resulting in the
attainment of a substantial measure of success.

On the 4th of January. 1887, Mr. Stahlhut was married to Miss Laura C. Feldt, a
native of Washington county, Maryland. Their children are: Vernie I., who is now
engaged in teaching; and Rose Lee, at home. The family are members of the
Presbyterian church and Mr. Stahlhut gives his political allegiance to the
republican party. He served as road commissioner for seven years in Illinois and
also as school director but since coming to the west has concentrated his
efforts and energies upon his business affairs and has never been a candidate
for office. His work, intelligently directed has gained for him a position
among the substantial representatives of agricultural interests in his district.
