	WM. CHANDLER, manager of the Columbia Mercantile Association's Co-operative
Store No. 2, of Washougal, was born near Chicago, Illinois, January 4, 1861, a
son of Luther F. and Harriet (Triggs) Chandler, the former a native of
Pennsylvania and the latter of England. W.M., the second in a family of seven
children, removed with his parents to Nebraska in 1866; four years later located
in Oregon, near Corvallis, that State, and completed his education in the public
schools of Portland. He was then employed as a clerk for a time, and
subsequently engaged in farming in Clarke county, Washington, near Mount
Pleasant, where he still owns 160 acres of partially improved land. Mr. Chandler
recently became manager of the Columbia Mercantile Association's store in
Washougal, which was stocked and its doors opened to the public two and a half
years ago. They carry a full and complete line of general merchandise farm
implements, groceries, and all kinds, of country produce.
	Mr. Chandler was married in Clarke county, in 1882, to Miss Fannie Graham, a
native of California. They have four children: Elvin, Harry, Agnes and Hazel. In
political matters, Mr. Chandler is identified with the People's party, and is a
member of the Board of School Directors. Socially, he is a member of the
I.O.O.F., No. 43, of La Camas, and the Patrons of Husbandry, No. 197.
