The Republic

Republic,
Washington,
July 29, 1932
Who's Who In Republic John Slagle
hasn't always been a druggist, but first took charge of a drug store in
Texas. He was born May 10, 1873 near Murphy, North Carolina and as an
infant, moved with his parents to Gainsville, Georgia, where his father
operated a shoe factory. from there the family moved to Athens, Georgia,
and during the next three years, they again moved, this time on a farm
at Franklin, N. Carolina. Here young John milked the cows, fed the hogs
and attended the local school and also attended Western Carolina
college, at that time under the leadership of Prof. R. I. Madison, a
nephew of General Robert E. Lee. When about 25 years of age, tiring of
farm life he pulled out for Texas and landed at Henriette, where he
worked on a farm for about a year and then took charge of a drug store
for Dr. J. H. Ferris. After four years at Henriette, he visited his old
home town in N. Carolina, before coming to the state of Washington. He
traveled extensively over the state of Washington doing relief work and
finally in 1904, he arrived in Republic, and took charge of an estate
drug store belonging to the Threlkeld Bros., which he afterwards
purchased at auction sale.
Soon afterwards he purchased a drug store from a competitor and combined
the two.
In 1909 Mr. Slagle was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Moore who
had been teaching school in Republic, and to this union four children
were born, three boys and one girl, the girl having died at a young age.
John W. Slagle today owns the only drug store in Ferry county, housed,
as it is, in one of the largest brick buildings in the town. He is doing
a good business. Mr. Slagle has seen the camp from a boom town to the
present time, and has been active in its up building. |
