HENRY GIEBELER
	Henry Giebeler.  Among the prosperous and thrifty agriculturists
of Stevens county, it is very fitting to mention the subject of this
sketch, who has been blessed with good success in his labors on account
of his painstaking care, and wise management.  He was born in Hessen-
Nassau, Germany, on February 18, 1858, the son of Christian and Henrietta
(Stahl) Giebeler, natives of Germany, where the mother still lives.  The 
father was a carpenter and builder and died in 1864.  Henry received his
education in the schools of Germany and completed the same at the age of
fourteen.  The next eight years were spent in the iron mines, then came
two years of service in the army, following which Mr. Giebeler mined for
six years.  In 1887 he bade farewell to the fatherland and located in
Wisconsin where he worked in the iron mines, then two years were spent
in the Montana mines and in 1890 he settled in Stevens county.  He took 
his present place six miles north from Colville as a homestead, and it 
shows eveidence of thrift and industry in every part.  In 1895 he bought
another quarter section and he is now handling both places.
	The marriage of Mr. Giebeler and Miss Grace, daughter of Joseph
and Mary (Bieri) Portmann, natives of Switzerland, was celebrated in 1898.
Mrs. Giebeler's parents came to the United States in 1890 and now live in
West Virginia.  Mr. Giebeler is a Democrat and is active.  He and his wife
are members of the Evangelical church.
