He lived on the family farm 37 years and became a noted hop grower. He also maintained a large fruit orchard. On March 5, 1890 Aaron married Fanny B. Gregory in Sumner. The couple had three children: Charles Manning b. February 20, 1891 Jesse Agnes b. June 19, 1892 Stanley Eugene b. February 28, 1899 After his marriage Aaron built a home opposite the Warren Wood residence, which later burned down. In 1895 Aaron was elected a School Director and in 1898 he was elected as a trustee in the Sumner Fruit Growers Union. Aaron moved to Okanogan, WA in 1902. Aaron was an organizer of the Pleasant Valley Irrigation & Power Company. He served as a director of the Commercial Bank, He also was involved in the construction of the Leader Lake reservoir and canals. He live for years on a ranch on Windy Hill and then later moved to Boston Heights. In 1909 Ezra Meeker asked Aaron's family if they would come over the mountains and help him with his exhibit and restaurant at the Alaska Pacific Yukon Exposition. "Now then, could you and Fanny [Aaron's wife, age 46] arrange your business so you could come over and help me? If I get that place, it's going to be a big "affair," and I will need a large number of helpers. I propose to make provisions for all who participate in the management, so that any wages agreed upon shall be clear gain…What I want Aaron, if you come, just to come into the management and with your family help where help is needed according to their ability. I do not know whether the management will consent to all of us living on the grounds and in fact I am not sure whether it would be desirable as visiting hours will be long. My idea is to have working hours short, especially with the young folks—8 hours probably, though I expect to put in twice that time myself. I have thought some of leasing the Osborne home (if the family goes across the lake) and make this a place of refuge for the help. [The Osbornes had a summerhouse on the east side of Lake Washington, which they called Scituate, named after a lighthouse in Massachusetts where Eben Osborne's father was born and where Eben spent his childhood. Eben's father was the keeper of the locally famous lighthouse.] I have in mind to provide for your living expenses, if you come, and as I said yesterday to have the wages paid clear gain. I want to organize so the help will not become "run down" and so there will be ample opportunity to see the great Fair. Accordingly I do not want to start out on a high scale of wages but I will say frankly if successful as I hope to be, I will be liberal with you at the end…I would like to have you help to get ready but there would be nothing for Fanny and the youngsters before the middle of May." Aaron and Fanny moved to Bellingham in 1922 where he died of cancer, some two years after surgery. Fanny died April 10, 1940 in Bellingham, WA. ∼Son of Jacob Redding and Nancy (North) Meeker; Husband of Fannie T. Gregory. Burial: Sumner, Pierce, WA
