Surnames: Butler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VEC.2ACI/3836 Message Board Post: William C. Butler William C. Butler is the president of the First National Bank in Everett and the general manager of the Puget Sound Reduction Company. He has been connected with the latter enterprise since its inception. It was incorporated in 1892, and the business has grown to mammoth proportions. The smelter is one of the industries which gave rise to the city of Everett, and Mr. Butler came here when it was established at this point. It was started in a small way, but the business has constantly grown until employment is now furnishes to two hundred men. They handle ore which comes to them from thousands of miles in all directions, from Alaska to Mexico and from many intermediate points along the coast. The local business is also steadily growing, and the plant is a very complete one, equipped with the latest improvements and capable of handling seven thousand tons of ore each month. The First National Bank of which Mr. Butler is the president is the oldest bank in the city. It is a combination of the Old First National Bank and the Everett National Bank and with the latter Mr. Butler was identified prior to the consolidation. He thoroughly understands the banking business, and under his capable control the institution has won a very creditable position in banking circles of the state. Associated with him in the enterprise are men of business capacity and financial strength, and the First National Bank received the unqualified endorsement of the confidence of the public. In connection with the business of the Puget Sound Reduction Company considerable building has been carried on in Everett. At the time of the establishment of the smelter here a large number of residences were erected for the men employed in connection with the plant, and as the business has grown more homes have been built, and still more are being erected in the vicinity. The work carried on in the smelter is that of extracting the metal from the ore-gold, silver, copper ad lead being thus transformed the into marketable products. The buildings of the company cover about twelve acres. Mr. Butler is also interested in the timber lands and logging to a considerable extent and was one the organizers of the Norman Logging Company and also the Lime and Lumber Company. He belongs to the Chamber of Commerce and is pre-eminently a business man, alert, enterprising, far sighted and energetic, and his ability in the control of varied and improvement of this section of the state.

Surnames: Abel Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VEC.2ACI/3835 Message Board Post: Anthony M Abel Although Anthony M. Abel has been a resident of Snohomish for only two years, he has already gained the favorable regard of the public both by reason of his excellent traits of character and his ability on the line of chosen profession, the law. He is now serving for a second term in the position of city attorney. Mr. Abel was born in Sussex county, England, on the 20th of September, 1874, but is of Scotch lineage. In 1882 his father, George Abel, brought his family to the United States. He had married Amelia A. Hagber, a native of England, and on crossing the Atlantic they took up abode in Salina, Kansas, where they are still living. Mr. Abel is a florist, having always followed that business. Both he and his wife are fifty-four years of age. The members of their family are as follows: William H., who is serving as prosecuting attorney of Chehalis county, Washington; George D., of Lincoln county, Kansas, who was formerly prosecuting attorney there, and is first lieutenant in Company C, of the Twenty-second Kansas Volunteer Infantry, which regiment was raised for service in the Philippine war.; Annie H., who is instructor of English in the high school of Lawrence, Kansas; Rosa, who is assistant principal in the high school of Burlington, Kansas; Lena who is principal of he high school! of Florence, Kansas; and Lucy, who is attending the Kansas University. It will thus be seen that the members of the family have attended considerable distinction along those lines of labor demanding strong intellectuality nad marked mental ability. Anthony M. Abel was a youth of eight years when he came with his parents to America. He first attended the public schools of Salina, Kansas, and afterward became a student in the Salina Normal College, while subsequently he matriculated in the Kansas State University, at Lawrence, where he was graduated in the class of 1900, with the degree of Bachelor of the Arts. After completing his collegiate course he came to the Pacific coast and for a short time was a member of the Bar of Chehalis county, but came to Snohomish in Mat, 1901, and opened an office here. He has gained a very gratifying clientage during two years of his residence here, for the public, recognizing his professional skill, has entrusted important litigated interests to his care. In the fall of 1901 he was appointed to fill out and unexpired term as a city attorney, and later in the year he was nominated on both tickets for the position and was re-elected in 190, so that is now the incumbent in the office, ser! ving for the second term. He has always voted with the Democracy, and takes and active interest in the growth and success of the party. Fraternally he is connected with the Modern Woodman of America. He is yet a young man, possessed of laudable ambition, strong resolution and energy and with these qualities to serve as a foundation on which to rear the superstructure of success, it is not difficult to predict what his future will be.
