GEORGE HENNAGIN

     one of the successful Sherman county farmers, living six miles southeast of
More, was born May 19, 1875, in Yolo county, California, the son of Henry and
Ruth Hennagin, the former a native of New York; the latter of Canada. The mother
died when our subject was a small boy. The father lives near his son in Sherman
county.
     Until the latter was five or six years old he was reared in California, and
then his family removed to Crook county, Oregon. Here the father worked out for
three years, thence coming to Sherman county. Our subject attended the public
schools of his neighborhood, and subsequently worked for nine years for Milton
Damon. He then purchased the place on which he now lives, one-quarter section,
subsequently adding another quarter. Mr. Hennagin owns a one-half interest in a
combined harvester in company with John Christensen.               
     October 25, 1897, at The Dalles, he was united in marriage to Miss Daisy
Fuller, born in Iowa December 16, 1882. She is the daughter of Benjamin F. and
Emma Fuller, the father a native of Iowa, now living at Chenowith, Washington.
Our subject has two full brothers, three sisters, two half-brothers, and one
half-sister; Fred, in Sherman county; Albert, in Portland; Daisy, wife of John
Christensen; Bessie, wife of John Johnson ; Evie, wife of William Rudolph,
manager of a warehouse in Kent; Frank and Homer, at home with their parents; and
