PETER ERICKSON

     a pioneer of 1883, was born in Illinois, November 7, 1858. When six years
old he accompanied his parents to Madrid, Iowa, where he grew to man's estate
and was educated. He early engaged in farming, following that occupation
continuously until he came to Spokane. Upon arriving here, however, he engaged
in brick making in the employ of J. T. Davie, whose plant was located on Hangman
creek, and in 1889 he became a member of the firm. He is one of the substantial
citizens of Spokane, and though not ambitious for leadership among his
fellowmen, commands their unwavering confidence and respect. In fraternal
affiliations he is a Mason, his membership being in Spokane Lodge, No. 34. He
was married in this city, November 8, 1895, to Miss Martha A. Dobbins, a native
of Missouri, and to their union have been born three sons: John W., Charles F.
and Harry D.
