   EDGAR W. LEVANDER lives at Goff, Idaho, where he does a general farming business, also mines, manages a ferry and runs a blacksmith shop. Mr. Levander is a busy man, one of the prosperous citizens of the county and in excellent standing with all who know him. He was born in Umatilla County, Oregon, on April 16, 1869, the son of John 0., and Sarah (Cox) Levander. The father is the postmaster at Goff and devotes his attention to mining. He was a pioneer to Oregon in 1861 and the following year mined at Oro Fino and in 1865 in the Boise basin. He is a native of Sweden and settled in his present location in 1894. The mother was born in Missouri and still lives at Goff. Our subject was but an infant when the parents moved to Idaho the last time, and spent the first fifteen years of his life in the Boise basin, where he gained his education. Then they moved to the Salmon meadows in Washington County, where he assisted his father in handling cattle. When he became of age he commenced operations independently with a fine start of a good bunch of cattle. In 1893 he came up the Salmon and took a claim near Slate Creek, where he devoted himself to general farming and stock raising until 1899, in which year he came to Goff and put on the ferry that he is now operating here. Mr. Levander also took a mining claim and built a blacksmith shop.

   On July 1, 1891, Mr. Levander married Miss May, daughter of John A. and Minerva (Whited) Richardson. The father was a stockman and a native of Illinois. He was one of the early pioneers to the coast and mined in Florence, Warren and other Idaho camps. His death occurred in 1900. The mother is still living. Mrs. Levander was born in Baker County, Oregon, in 1872 and has four brothers and one sister, George, Clarence, Harland, Clara, Wallace. Mr. Levander has the following brothers and sisters, Emma, Eva, Anna, Homer, Ella, Vergil, and Celestia. Mr. and Mrs. Levander have four children: Edith, Edna, Leroy, and Hazel. In political matters our subject is a strong Democrat. In addition to his holdings at Goff he has a fine ranch of one hundred and sixty acres near Slate creek besides other property.
