An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D., The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, IL., 1893, page 336 ALBERT P. WOLVERTON, a real-estate dealer of Spokane, was born in Oregon, in 1855. He received his preparatory schooling in the public schools of his native State, and then took a scientific course in the Monmouth or Christian College, graduating in 1877. The following four years was spent in farming, and he then came to Spokane, Washington, where he engaged with his brother in the hardware business, opening the second store of its kind in the city. Three years later the firm dissolved partnership, and Mr. Wolverton was then engaged in the agricultural trade one year; in 1885, with T.F. Conlan, organized the Spokane Hardware Company; in 1888, on account of ill health, severed his connection with that company, and since that time has followed the real-estate business. He owns a half interest in the Temple Court Block, and is the owner of a new business block on Main street, and an extensive farm near Spokane. Mr. Wolverton was married in 1888, to Miss Lulu Miller, a native of New York. To this union have been born two children, one, Van Albert, is still living. Our subject is one of the most enterprising business men in this city. Submitted to the WA. Bios Project in September 2003 by Jeffrey L.
