	TROBRIDGE R. JEWELL, a well-known fruit-grower of Clarke county, Washington,
is a native of Michigan, born December 24, 1841, in Calhoun county, where he
lived until a lad of thirteen years, when his family removed to Iowa and located
in Black Hawk county. His parents, Philip and Eunice (Jennings) Jewell, were
natives of New York State. The father died May 5, 1876, and the mother survived
until the 6th of the following June. They had a family of three children,
Trobridge R. being the second-born. Mr. Jewell was trained to the trade of a
sawyer and engineer, and followed this line of business until a few years since.
He resided in Iowa for a period of five years, and then went to Clay county,

	Recognizing his duty to his country, Mr. Jewell enlisted in the First Dakota
Cavalry as a private and non-commissioned officer, and was in the service for a

	In 1876 he came to the coast and took up his residence in Oregon. He lived
in different counties until three years ago, when he came to Clarke county and
located three miles north-west of Vancouver, where he has five acres in a young
orchard and strawberries, and also cultivates the adjoining five acres belonging
to his son-in law.
