J. BEAUDRY.

J. Beaudry, who for eighteen years has been a resident of the Yakima valley and
is now successfully engaged in farming near Moxee City, was born in Quebec,
Canada. April 19, 1871, a son of John Beaudry, who is mentioned elsewhere in
this work in connection with the sketch of his brother, Vanace Beaudry. He was
reared in Minnesota, the family removing to that state during his boyhood days,
and he early became familiar with all the duties and labors that fall to the lot
of the agriculturist. After his textbooks were put aside he concentrated his
efforts and attention upon farm work there and continued a resident of Minnesota
until 1901, when at the age of thirty years he removed to the Pacific coast
country, taking up his abode in the Moxee valley. He purchased twenty acres of
]and which was entirely wild and undeveloped, but with characteristic energy he
began its cultivation and improvement and is now successfully raising alfalfa
and potatoes upon that tract.

On the 20th of January, 1896, Mr. Beaudry was united in marriage to Miss Olvina
Sabourian, a native of Minnesota, by whom he has two children, namely: Lourina,
now the wife of West Morford, who is engaged in ranching on the Yakima Indian
reservation; and William, at home.

Mr. Beaudry and his family are all communicants of the Holy Rosary Catholic
church and he is identified with the Catholic Order of Foresters. Attracted by
the opportunities of the west, he has never had occasion to regret his
determination to establish his home in this section of the country, for here his
activities have brought hint substantial rewards of labor and he is now classed
with the representative and prosperous farmers of his section of the state.
