EUCLID J. DUPRE.

A large number of the residents of Moxee City and vicinity are of French
Canadian birth. This number includes Euclid J. Dupre, who was born in Quebec,
Canada, March 25, 1873, and whose parents were Andrew and Rosalie Dupre.
Removing to Massachusetts in 1876, they spent their remaining days in that
state. Their son Euclid acquired a public school education in Ware,
Massachusetts, and after his textbooks were put aside began working, in the
mills of that state, being thus employed until he reached the age of twenty-two
years. He then turned his attention to commercial pursuits, securing a clerkship
in a store at Gardner, Massachusetts. He was thus employed until 1908, when he
removed to Alberta, Canada, settling near Edmonton, and establishing a furniture
store at River Quebarre. He afterward disposed of his business there and
accepted the position of manager of a hardware store at that place. The year
1909 witnessed his removal from Canada to Washington, at which time he took up
his abode in Yakima county. This was in the month of October. He purchased seven
acres of land in the Moxee valley and devoted his attention to agricultural
interests for two years, but in 1911 sold his farm and purchased the general
store of A. Champoux & Brother at Moxee City. Through the intervening period he
has carried on general merchandising and has a well selected line of goods,
while the enterprise and integrity of his business methods have secured for him
a very liberal and gratifying patronage.

On the 21st of May, 1894, Mr. Dupre was married to Miss Angeline Mandeville, a
native of Canada and a daughter of Henry and Louise (Befford) Mandeville, who
were married in Massachusetts. Her mother has passed away and her father is now
living with Mr. Dupre. It was in Massachusetts that Mr. and Mrs. Dupre were
married and to them were born six children: Edmund; who is a member of the
United States Navy; Alice and Lucy, twins, at home; Cora; Lelia; and Elizabeth.

Mr. Dupre and his family are communicants of the Holy Rosary Catholic church of
Moxee City, in which he is serving as a trustee. He takes an active interest in
the work of the church and does everything in his power to further its growth
and extend its influence. His political endorsements is given to the republican
party but he has never sought nor desired political office. He has, however,
served for three years on the school board and he is interested in all those
activities which make for the material, intellectual and moral progress of the
community.
