JULIUS STOHLE

Julius Stohle, prosperous owner of a well equipped meat market in Medical Lake,
Washington, was born in Germany, January 5, 1877. His father, Melchior Stohle,
died in 1907, while his mother, whose maiden name was Paulina Haas, is still
living. Passing his childhood under the parental roof Julius Stohle obtained his
education in the public schools of his native locality, where he was trained in
accordance with the rigid but thorough and disciplinary rules of the German
educational system. At the age of fourteen years he crossed the Atlantic
locating with his uncle at Alton, Illinois, and there learned the butcher trade,
at which he worked for five years. He then left Alton and from that time until
1903 he worked at his trade in a number of different places, in California,
Oregon and Montana. He purchased a butcher shop in Medical Lake, Washington, in
1903, which he hs conducted ever since, meeting with much success in his
enterprise. He is competent in his work and conscientious in his dealings with
his customers, so that he enjoys a large and steady patronage. With an eye to
the future he has invested his savings in western lands, owning a tract of two
hundred and sixty acres of rich farm land near Medical Lake. Mr. Stohle was
married to Miss Augusta Vaas, on February 20, 1908, at Cheney, Washington. They
are the parents of a son, Louis. Mr. Stohle and his wife worship in the Catholic
church and in his political faith he votes with the republicans. Coming to
America in 1891 when a mere boy, Mr. Stohle gives evidence of what a newcomer to
our shores may do in a comparatively short space of time provided he has good
judgment, is not afraid to work, is temperate and thrifty in his habits and can
recognize the opportunities which are everywhere open to the earnest young man
who is determined to win his way.
