GUY H. HEBERLING.

Among the county offices in the west that of engineer is one of the most
important and Guy H. Heberling who today is surveyor of Benton county, ably
discharges his duties in this connection. He was born in Cottonwood, Idaho,
November 21, 1882, a son of George H. and Clara N. (Bryant) Heberling. The
father is a native of Ohio and in the '50s accompanied his father, Hiram
Heberling, on his removal to Kansas, where the latter passed away. In that
state George H. Heberling grew to manhood. His wife was a native of Kansas,
where they remained until 1882, when they proceeded to Idaho and ten years later
to Spokane, Washington, whence another removal brought theirs to Amber,
Washington, where George H. Heberling is now successfully engaged in
agricultural pursuits. In fact, this has been his occupation practically
throughout his entire life with the exception of some years which he devoted to
mining.

Guy H. Heberling of this review attended the public schools of Idaho in the
acquirement of his early education and subsequently entered Washington State
College, from which he was graduated in 1907 with the degree of Civil Engineer.
He was then engaged in railroad and mining engineering work in Idaho until 1908,
when he came to Washington, locating in Kiona. He it was who laid out Benton
City and he followed surveying in various other parts of the state until 1912,
when he located in Prosser, where he has been entrusted with civil engineering
work of various kinds. In 1913 he was elected city engineer and in 1917 was
called by ballot to the position of county engineer, both of which offices he
now holds. His wide experience and thorough study well fit him for these
positions and under his direction a number of important works have been
undertaken in the county. He is conscientious in the discharge of his duties
and stands high in the estimation of his professional colleagues. Benton county
is indeed to be congratulated upon having so efficient a surveyor and engineer
as Mr. Heberling.

On the 10th of January, 1911, Mr. Heberling was united in marriage to Miss
Carrie B. Strain, of Prosser, and they have two children, a son and a daughter,
Ruth Hazel and Guy Myron. Mr. Heberling is a republican but not active in party
work. His religious faith is that of the United Presbyterian church, and
fraternally he is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. He is ever
interested in progress and development along moral, intellectual and material
lines and is a valuable citizen of Benton county.
