	ABRAHAM FLEWELLING: Abraham Flewelling, local 
agent for the Milwaukee Land Company at Centralia, Washington, 
was born on the 7th of November, 1866, in De Witt, Clinton 
county, Michigan, a son of Abraham P. and Rosana Flewelling, 
both natives of New York.  Throughout life the father has followed 
the occupation of farming and is still living on the old homestead in 
Michigan, but the mother passed away several years ago.  In their 
family were four children, three sons and one daughter.
	Mr. Flewelling of this review is the youngest son.  He 
obtained a good practical education in the public schools of 
Michigan and for a time was engaged in the newspaper business in 
Elgin, Illinois.  He also owned and edited a paper at Batavia, that 
state, but in 1894 returned to Michigan and was engaged in mining 
at Crystal Falls until 1906.  The latter year witnessed his arrival in 
Washington and he has since been in charge of the office of the 
Milwaukee Land Company at Centralia.  In the interest of the 
company he has purchased timber land in Lewis and adjoining 
counties, which he has subsequently sold to various mills.  At 
present his principal business is looking after the land of the 
company in Chehalis, Lewis Cowlitz, Pacific and Thurston counties 
and in his hands their affairs have always been most capably 
managed.
	At Crystal Falls, Michigan, Mr. Flewelling was married in 
1900 to Miss Agnes McCourt, a daughter of James McCourt, who 
at one time was a photographer at that place but is now living retired 
with our subject and his wife in Centralia, the family residence being 
at 314 Iron street.  Mr. and Mrs. Flewelling are earnest and 
consistent members of the Presbyterian church, of which he is one 
of the directors, and he also holds membership in the Commercial 
Club of Centralia.  Fraternally he is connected with the Knights of 
Pythias, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the 
Independent Order of Odd Fellows.  He is a man whom his fellow 
citizens have the utmost confidence and wherever known he is held 
in high regard.
