An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D., The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, IL., 1893, page 342 ANDREW LEFEVRE, engaged in the real-estate business in Medical Lake, was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1824, a son of Peter and Margaret (Osea) Lefevre, also natives of Canada. Our subject received no educational advantages, and was engaged in farming in Canada until twenty-three years of age. In 1851 he removed to California, where he engaged in mining three years, was one of the pioneer settlers of Siskiyou county, that State, and in September, 1850, removed to Walla Walla, Washington, to fight the Indians. In 1872 Mr. Lefevre moved to and located the town site of Medical Lake, where he is one of the largest land owners in the city. He also contributed largely to the establishment of the Asylum for the Insane at this place. Politically, he votes with the Democratic party, and has held the office of County Commissioner one term. Our subject was married in Canada, to Miss May, of English descent, who lived but three years after her marriage. To that union was born two children, both now deceased. In 1862, at Walla Walla, Mr. Lefevre married Miss Annie Forrest, a native of Canada, and they had six children, two of whom survive, and are engaged in farming and stock-raising with their father. The wife and mother died twelve years after her marriage, and in 1875 the father was united in marriage to Mrs. Jane Kimbell, a native of Illinois. Mr. Lefevre has one of time finest residences in the city, the same being valued at $10,000, and containing all modern improvements. Our subject is one of the most progressive and enterprising men of Medical Lake; is respected by all who know him, and is a credit to the State and country. The family are members of the Catholic Church of this city. Submitted to the WA. Bios Project in September 2003 by Jeffrey L.
