H. M. LIDDLE

     Few men in Colfax have been in business longer in the city than has the man
whose name gives caption to this paragraph, and perhaps none has maintained a
livery barn here for a longer period. For more than twenty-two years his stables
have been open for accommodation of those who travel by team, and his own rigs
have been in readiness for customers. As a citizen his standing in the town is
of the highest, and few enjoy in greater measure the esteem and good will of
their fellows.
     Mr. Liddle is a native of the Empire state, born in Delaware county in
1848. His educational advantages were those afforded by the public schools there
established. As soon as he became old enough to assume for himself the burdens
of life he engaged in farming, and that was his business most of the time while
he remained in New York. He came to Colfax in 1877 and farmed here for two
years, thereupon embarking in the livery business, which, as stated above, he
has followed continuously since. He has long held rank among the leaders in that
line of business in the Palouse country.
     In fraternal affiliations, our subject is identified with the Improved
Order of Red Men. He was married in Colfax in 1883, the lady being Miss Mary L.
Kennedy, a native of Oregon, and a member of an old and respected pioneer family
of that state. Mrs. Liddle is herself a pioneer of Whitman county of 1876.
