ADRIEN MAGALLON

     a pioneer of 1882, was born in France August 10, 1860. When fourteen years
old he emigrated to San Francisco, California, whence he moved to Los Angeles to
secure a job as a shepherd. He was thus employed there and at Santiago for about
nine years, during which time he accumulated considerable money, his ambition
being to start in the sheep business for himself. He then came to Walla Walla
and herded for Mr. Sturgis a year and a half, at the end of which time he vas
master of sufficient funds to warrant him in embarking in the industry on his
own account. So he purchased a number of sheep, and started in the business in
which we now find him. He has been remarkably successful, and is at present the
owner of about thirteen thousand sheep. He also has about eight thousand acres
of land on the Snake river, besides some very valuable Walla Walla real estate.
He resides in a magnificent home at 313 N. Sixth street, surrounded by all the
comforts and conveniences of life.
     But above all Mr. Magallon is so fortunate as to enjoy the unwavering
confidence and hearty good will of all who know him, and to command the respect
always bestowed upon those who work their way by industry and thrift from
obscure beginnings to competency and comfort. In fraternal affiliations Mr.
Magallon is identified with the I. O. R. M. He married, in Walla Walla, November
26, 1889, Mary Charrier, a native of Quebec, Canada, and they have four living
children, namely: Adrien, Marie, Lucy and Armand; also one, Bertha J., deceased.
     Mrs. Magallon has been a resident of Walla Walla for twenty-two years,
coming via San Francisco with her parents, who made this county their home.
