	HERBERT E. LINDSLEY. -- The continuous flow of emigration to the Pacific
coast has carried from the Eastern and Middle States some of their most worthy
sons, and has given to the coast States that aggressive and determined spirit
that yields nor wearies not until its desires are an accomplished fact. To this
class of citizens belongs Herbert E. Lindsley, a resident of Centralia. He was
born in the State of Michigan, Washtenaw county, September 20, 1864, a son of
George C. and Almira (Seekell) Lindsley, natives of the same State, and an only
child. He received his education in the public schools, and was reared to the
life of a farmer. In 1889 he came to Washington and located in Centralia, where
he secured a position as clerk; he was afterward employed by a sash and door
manufacturing company as bookkeeper, during which time he proved his sound
judgment and superior business ability.
	He was elected to the office of City Clerk in 1892, and at the close of the
same year was re-elected to the office. He has discharged his duties with entire
satisfaction to the public and has shown himself worthy of the confidence
reposed in him. He is a stanch and active Republican, and is an enthusiastic
supporter of the movements to elevate the educational standard of the State.
Honorable in all his dealings and kindly counteous of manner, he has won a host
of friends in the home of his adoption.
	Mr. Lindsley consummated the most important event of his life when he was
united in marriage July 15, 1891, to Miss Gertrude Green, a native of Illinois.
