LOUIS A. SANDOZ, who resides on Mill creek, a few miles out from The Dalles, was
born in Switzerland, on May 24, 1850. His parents are Frederick L. and Julienne
(Fry) Sandoz. After receiving his education and an especially fine training in
landscape gardening in his native country, he came to the United States, and on
January 2, 1868, landed in New York, then went to Illinois. He did gardening
there for six years, then went to California and in Menloo Park and various
other places followed his profession. He did some very choice work, especially
in private gardens of millionaires in that country, and he was known as a most
skillful and talented artist in his line. In 1879, a few months after his
brother, who is mentioned in another portion of this work, Mr. Sandoz came to
Wasco county. He purchased ninety-eight acres of the old Caldwell donation claim
and since that time has given his attention to fruit raising and gardening. He
has a very beautiful place and is a thrifty and progressive man.      

On January 2, 1888, Mr. Sandoz married Mrs. Kate Hunter, who was born in New
jersey, the daughter of Edward and Kate (Nilligan) Murphy, natives of Ireland.
The mother is deceased and the father dwells in New Jersey. Besides the brother
mentioned, our subject has two brothers, Henry and August, in California, and
one sister, Mrs. Emily Marre, in Switzerland. Mrs. Sandoz has four sisters
residing in New Jersey. To our subject and his wife the following named children
have been born: Eileen, Isabelle, Catherine, Arnold, Edward and Rollen. In
politics, Mr. Sandoz is Democratic, and in educational matters he is active and
progressive. He has served three terms as school director and gave universal
satisfaction in that capacity.
