HENRY SANDERSON.

Henry Sanderson, a partner of his brother, Cyrus E. Sanderson, in extensive and
important fruit raising interests in the Yakima valley, was born in
Jacksonville, Illinois, December 29, 1866. He is a high school graduate and
after his school days were over he became actively engaged in the shoe trade in
connection with his brother, C. E. Sanderson, whose sketch is given above.
Together they came to Yakima in 1912 and purchased land, since which time they
have carried on an extensive and profitable business as orchardists. They
erected a commodious and beautiful double residence upon their land and they are
concentrating their efforts upon the further development and care of their
orchards.

On the 21st of November, 1888, Henry Sanderson was married to Miss Lillie G.
Smith, of St. Louis, Missouri. He, too, is a member of the Modern Woodmen of
America and also of the Royal Highlanders, the Royal Arcanum and the Fraternal
Union. His religious faith is indicated by his connection with the Presbyterian
church and in politics he maintains an independent course. The Sanderson family
have long been personal friends of William Jennings Bryan and his family, with
whom they became acquainted during their residence in Jacksonville, Illinois.
The Sanderson brothers occupy an enviable position in the business circles of
the Yakima valley, for they are actuated in all that they undertake by a spirit
of enterprise that never stops short of the successful accomplishment of their
purpose, and the methods which they have ever pursued are those which measure up
to the highest standards of integrity and reliability.
