An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D.,

	R.E.M. STRICKLAND, manager of the Pennsylvania Mortgage & Investment
Company's interests at Spokane, Washington, is an enterprising and popular young
man, and is justly entitled to some consideration on the pages of this work. The
company he represents has a capital stock of $500,000, which is invested chiefly
in Washington and Idaho. It is one of the most reliable firms in the Northwest,
and annually handles an immense amount of business.
	Mr. Strickland was born at West Chester, Pennsylvania, August 14, 1867, son
of Nimrod and Rose (Gould) Strickland, both natives of time Keystone State. His
father was a lawyer, and his grandfather was Judge of the Common Pleas Court and
held various State offices during his life in Pennsylvania. The subject of our
sketch is the oldest in a family of three children. He took a classical course
in the academy at West Chester, after which he entered the office of Hon. H.E.
Monaghan, at that place, one of the most prominent attorneys of Pennsylvania,
and remained with him for three years. He was admitted to the bar in 1888 and
practiced about four months. At the end of that time he came West and located at
Spokane, where he has since remained. Upon his arrival here he was engaged as
attorney for the Pennsylvania, Mortgage & Investment Company, of which he is at
present the efficient manager.
	He votes with the Democratic party and takes an active interest in political
matters.
