CHARLES A. LINDAMOOD

     Is one of the hustling young men of Skagit county, combining farming with
the business of contracting in land clearing.  He was born in Illinois March 8,
1879, and came to Washington with his father in 1890.  The elder Lindamood,
whose given name is Washington, was born in Ohio March 8, 1837.  He was a
successful farmer and was one of the immigrants who were attracted to this state
soon after it was received into statehood.  He is still living at Burlington.
Mrs. Lindamood, whose maiden name was Hannah Smith, was a native of Ohio and
died there in 1886, leaving five children, of whom Charles A. was the youngest.
On coming to Washington young Lindamood went to Avon and worked on various farms
for four months.  Later he bought forty acres of timber land a mile and a half
southwest of Burlington and he has made his home there ever since.  Ten acres
are now cleared, two of which are in orchard, the remainder being given over to
dairying, of which business Mr. Lindamood has made a special study, intending
ultimately to develop this line of activity to a greater degree.  About the
first of the year 1905 Mr. Lindamood joined with G. C. Drown in the purchase of
a donkey engine outfit for clearing land of trees and stumps, and since that
time they have been doing a contracting business in this line.
     Mt. Lindamood has never married, but finds pleasant company in the family
of his brother John, who lives on an adjoining farm.  Fraternally he is a member
of the Order of Washington; in politics a Republican.  His dairy stock at
present consists of Durhams and Guernseys, in all twenty head, and he also keeps
other live stock, horses, hogs, etc.  He is a young man of energy and integrity
who is well respected and whose future holds good promise of success.
