F. B. SINSEL.

F. B. Sinsel, treasurer of the firm of A. B. Fosseen & Company of Yakima, was
born in Nebraska in 1889, his parents being Albert and Lucia (Boise) Sinsel who
remained residents of Nebraska until 1890 and then took up their abode in Iowa.
The mother is now residing in Yakima. F. B. Sinsel obtained a high school
education in Iowa, completing his course by graduation with the class of 1907,
after which he spent two years in study in the Bellevue (Neb.) College. His
liberal training thus well qualified him for an active business career. He came
to the Yakima valley in 1911 and spent two years on a ranch. In 1914 he entered
the employ of A. B. Fosseen & Company and his faithfulness to the interests of
the house combined with his efficient service led to his being taken into the
firm in January, 1917. In 1918 he was elected to the office of treasurer and is
now serving in that capacity. He is a progressive young business man, putting
forth every effort to legitimately develop the trade of the house, which covers
a line of builders' supplies, irrigation and drainage supplies, coal, paints,
spray-oils and hollow clay interlocking blocks. The business has grown steadily,
Mr. Sinsel contributing to the desirable results that have been attained.

In 1914 Mr. Sinsel was united in marriage to Miss Violet Saunders, a native of
Illinois, and they are widely and favorably known in Yakima, the hospitality of
many of the best homes of the city being freely accorded them. Mr. Sinsel votes
with the republican party and fraternally is connected with the Masons, being
ever loyal to the teachings of the craft, which is based upon a recognition of
the brotherhood of mankind and the obligations thereby imposed.
