EARL V. WYANT.

Earl V. Wyant is the owner of a good farm property of forty-four acres near
Grandview, which he purchased in 1917, although he had previously owned land and
been identified with the agricultural interests of Yakima county. He was born in
Greenwood county, Kansas, February 26, 1873, a son of M. B. and Sarah W. Wyant,
who were pioneer settlers of the Sunflower state and were natives of Ohio. The
father has devoted his entire life to farming but has now retired from business
cares, he and his wife still making their home in Kansas.

Earl V. Wyant supplemented his public school education by a course in a business
college and afterward took up the profession of teaching, which he followed for
several years, dividing his time between the work of the schoolroom and
farming. He was the owner of several farms in Kansas but in 1900 sought the
opportunities of the northwest. He visited Yakima county to look over the
country but did not at that time purchase land. In 1907 he returned to this
state and bought a farm near Seattle. In 1915 he became owner of a ranch west of
Yakima, which he sold in 1917, when he made investment in forty-four acres of
land near Grandview, whereon he is now engaged in raising hay, corn and other
products. He is successfully managing his farming interests and annually
harvests good crops.

On the 6th of May, 1896, Mr. Wyant was united in marriage to Miss L. Delle Wood,
a native of Kansas and a daughter of James and Mary Wood. They have one child,
Jesse W. In his political views Mr. Wyant has always been a republican and while
in Snohomish county served as deputy county assessor. His religious faith and
that of his wife is indicated by their membership in the Presbyterian church.
They are highly esteemed people of the community, winning the warm regard of all
with whom they have come in contact by reason of their many sterling traits of
character.
