EDWIN PORTER DITEMAN.

Edwin Porter Diteman, whose ranch property is situated near Outlook, was born in
Aroostook county, Maine, September 3, 1865, a son of Wallace and Eliza (Linton)
Diteman, both of whom were natives of Nova Scotia. Subsequent to their marriage
they crossed the border into Maine, establishing their home in Aroostook county,
where the father engaged in farming and where both he and his wife passed away.

To the public school system of his native state Edwin P. Diteman is indebted for
the educational opportunities which he enjoyed. During vacation periods and
after his school days were over he farmed with his father until he reached the
age of twenty-two years and then went to Minnesota. In the fall of 1888 he
arrived in Yakima and was employed on a dairy ranch with his brother through the
first winter. He worked for wages for a few years and then returned to Maine,
where he continued for a year and a half. On the expiration of that period he
once more came to Yakima county, where he lived for two years and then again
spent a year and a half in the Pine Tree state. The lure of the west, however,
was upon him and he returned to Yakima county, where he worked for wages. He
devoted seven years to the logging contract business for the Cascade Lumber
Company and for a few years was connected with the sheep industry as a partner
of his brother. In May, 1917, he bought seventy-six and a half acres of land
pleasantly and conveniently situated two and three-quarters of a mile northwest
of Sunnyside. Upon this place he has a good house and substantial barns and
raises large crops of hay and corn. He also raises cattle and hogs, and in the
cultivation of his fields and in the raising of his stock he is meeting with
success.

On the 11th of April, 1894, Mr. Diteman was united in marriage to Miss Jennie
Alinda Tingley, who was born in Aroostook county, Maine, a daughter of Ernest
Herbert and Elizabeth (Tilley) Tingley. The father was born in New Brunswick,
May 24, 1851, and the mother was also a native of that country. They removed to
Maine during childhood, however, and the father was a farmer in that state. The
mother has now passed away. To Mr. and Mrs. Diteman have been born eight
children, as follows: Leatha, who is the wife of Earl DeFrece, a resident of
Centralia, Washington; Annie, who is deceased; Wallace R.; Roy; Mae; Curtis;
Linley, who has passed away; and Ernest.

Mr. Diteman is a republican in his political views, but though loyal and
progressive in matters of citizenship, has never been active in public life,
preferring to concentrate his efforts and attention upon his business affairs.
