FRED C. SCHNEBLY.

Fred C. Schnebly, who owns a well improved and valuable farm of two hundred and
four acres in the vicinity of Ellensburg, has been a lifelong resident of
Kittitas county and has become widely recognized as one of the leading stockmen
of the valley. His birth here occurred on the 12th of November, 1880, his
parents being P. H. and Eliza F. (Cooke) Schnebly, extended mention of whom is
made on another page of this work. He supplemented his early education by study
in Pullman College, which institution he attended for two years. After putting
aside his textbooks he concentrated his entire time and attention upon general
agricultural pursuits, first cultivating land which he rented from his father.
Subsequently he purchased property and at the present time has a tract of two
hundred and four acres which he has brought under a high state of cultivation,
while he also owns three thousand acres of range land. He raises high-grade
cattle and horses and has gained a well deserved reputation as one of the
leading stockmen of his section, his wisely directed business affairs having
been attended with a gratifying measure of success.

On the 27th of September, 1905. Mr. Schnebly was united in marriage to Miss
Marguerite A. Nelson, a daughter of J. P. Nelson. They now have four children,
namely: Wanetta, Loila, Fred and Henry. Fraternally Mr. Schnebly is identified
with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows while his political allegiance is
given to the republican party. His present enviable prosperity is attributable
entirely to his own efforts and that his career has ever been upright and
honorable is indicated in the fact that he enjoys the high regard and esteem of
the people of the community in which his entire life has been spent.
