HISTORY OF WASHINGTON.
tle. Meanwhile, in 1884, he had associated himself with Fred Rice Rowell in Rockland, who preceded him to Seattle in 1888. On the arrival of Mr. Robin- son, however, their partnership was renewed, and the law firm of Robinson & Rowell still continues, with no lack of remunerative clientage. Mr. Robinson was a member of the Maine Legislature for the term of 1879-80, and Prosecuting Attorney of Knox County for four years. He was married at Thomaston in No- vember, 1854, to Miss Clementine Yates. Three living children grace and add to the happiness of the union. Mr. Robinson is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
KOCHFORD, J. A., of North Yakima, the Prosecuting Attorney for Yakima County, was born in Kankakee County, Ill., in 1860. His father, a native of Ireland, was a soldier by profession, having served seven years in the British Army and an equal term in that of the United States. His mother was Lydia A. Bellamy. Mr. Kochford is a distant relative of the celebrated author of that name. Educated in the public schools of Michigan and Kansas, and finishing his preparatory studies in the latter State, he read law at night while engaged in daily labor, and was admitted to the Bar in 1886, beginning his practice at Oberlin, Kan., where he remained three years. Coming to Washington in 1889, he located at North Yakima, where he associated himself with the firm of Jones & Newman, leading lawyers of that section. He remained with them until elected in 1890 to his present office, the term being for two years. He is now serving his second term, having been re-elected on the Republican ticket at the last general election. He was married in 1888 to Miss Ida M. Allen, a native of Iowa, and they have three children. He is the possessor of a pleasant home and other property inter- ests. He is a Republican in politics, a member of the orders of Masons, Knights of Pythias, and Sons of Veterans, a close student, a good citizen, and a man whose sterling worth is fully appreciated in the community.
RODMAN, GEORGE W., City Clerk of North Yakima, was born in New York in 1844. His father, Nicholas Rodman, is a native and resident of the Empire State, still living at the ripe age of eighty-four ; his mother, Phæbe (Lamonte) Rodman, was also born in New York. Educated in the public schools and the Barnaby Academy, near Oswego, Mr. Rodman took a classical course and gradu- ated with honor in 1860, supplementing the knowledge thus obtained by entering a commercial college at Poughkeepsie. He began his business life at North Adams, Mass., as book-keeper for the Graylock Woollen Mills Company. After three years in this employ he went, in 1864, to California, prospected through the mining camps of that State and Nevada, became a book-keeper in San Francisco to a manufacturing company, then in the First National Bank as Assistant and finally full Cashier. In 1878 ill health compelled his return to the East. Its restoration brought him back to California again, where he remained a year and then migrated to Washington Territory in 1880, locating first in Walla Walla, then in Klickitat County, where some years were passed in farming, school-teaching, and the placing of mortgages and loans. In 1888 he came to North Yakima, and was immediately elected City Clerk, which office he still continues to fill. Mr. Rodman was married in 1867, at San Francisco, to Miss Albertine Eschenburg, the daughter of a diplomat, who was at one time Minister to Mexico and various

South American countries. Five children grace their union. Mr. Rodman is a man of property, a member of the Knights of Pythias, and a Republican in his political faith.
ROEDER, HENRY, a pioneer resident of New Whatcom, Wash., was born in Germany, July 4th, 1824, and came to America with his parents at the age of six years. His father was a veteran of the battle of Waterloo. The family settled in Erie County, O., where our subject was reared on a farm. In those early days they had to do battle with the Indians to protect their homes and stock. At the age of sixteen he became a sailor on the lakes, and so continued until 1849, after which he was employed by Cobb, Bradley & Co. for one year. In 1850 he made the journey across the plains with six mule teams. Stopping at Salt Lake City, he heard Brigham Young deliver his first oration. Continuing his journey, lie reached Sacramento at the time of the failure of the banking house of Barton Lee & Co. Going to Ophir, Cal., he engaged in mining for a season, and while there was taken ill with typhoid fever. After his recovery he opened a general mining supply store on Poor Man's Creek. This venture did not prove success- ful, and he was obliged to suspend. His next enterprise was in connection with a fishery on Sacramento River. In this business he made money very rapidly, but hearing of the great fisheries on the Columbia River, he started for Oregon with his partner, R. V. Peabody, arriving at Portland on the steamer Columbia in De- cember, 1852. Hearing that San Francisco was in ashes, they immediately deter- mined to start a lumber mill, but it took so long to find a suitable location they abandoned the idea. Mr. Roeder located at Whatcom in December, 1852, being the first settler and founder, and giving name to the town. He was elected & member of the second Territorial Legislature of Washington, and served in that body eight successive terms. During his long residence in Whatcom he has been engaged in many different business pursuits -was a sailor on the Pacific, followed farming, milling, and fishing. His mind is still bright and active, and he has a remarkable memory. He has been a valuable factor in the prosperity of New Whatcom and is universally respected and esteemed.
ROGERS, ELLERY, of New Whatcom, Treasurer of Whatcom County, was born in Andrew County, Mo., July 31st, 1844, and removed with his parents to Yamhill County, Ore., in 1846, receiving his early education in the common schools of that section, supplemented by a course in McMinnville College. He began business life as a school-teacher, and was thus engaged until the fall of 1864, when he enlisted in Company B, First Oregon Regiment, and served until December, 1865. Returning to Yamhill County, he was elected County Clerk for the term of two years, and was twice re-elected to the same office. He then became a farmer, and continued to follow that avocation until 1886, when he removed to New Whatcom to engage in mercantile business until elected to the office he still holds- that of County Treasurer, to which he has been elected for a second term. He was married to Miss M. M. Davis, of Yamhill County, Ore., May 24th, 1868. They have five daughters. Mr. Rogers is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
