Twelve years of faithful service as an officer of the law in Yakima county as sheriff, deputy sheriff and United States marshal stand to the credit of the subject of this biography - a record in itself sufficient to give him prominence in the county's history. Aside from this, however, Mr. Dilley is an 1877 pioneer, and is a popular, influential citizen, well known from the headwaters of the Yakima to its mouth and from the Columbia to the British line. The son of Andrew B. and Elizabeth (MacKey) Dilley, he was born in Marion county, Oregon, in December 1865. The elder Dilley, who died in 1902, was a native of Pennsylvania. He settled in Iowa when a young man and thence in 1863 cross the Plains with oxen to the Willamette valley, living there until 1877. The he came to Washington Territory and was for many years a resident of the Ahtanum valley. His death occurred in Nebraska. The mother was born in Ohio and was married in Pennsylvania, ten children being born in this union. She departed this life in January, 1902. Abraham was twelve years old when his parents brought him to the Ahtanum home. A few years later, having secured an education in the district schools, he took up the life of most young men then living in the region - that of riding the range. When eighteen years old he made an eighteen months' sojourn in the Sound region, then returned to Yakima county and entered the industries of hop and cattle raising. He was thus engaged until January, 1891, when he entered Sheriff Simmons' office and served under him four years. In 1894, as the candidate of the Republican party, he was elected sheriff of the county and served in that capacity one term. In the spring of 1897 Mr. Dilley was appointed deputy United States marshall, and filled the position five years with the same commendable zeal and ability as he had shown while in the sheriff's office. Again in 1902 he was nominated by the Republicans for sheriff, but was defeated in a stirring campaign by Sheriff Grant. The following March Mr. Dilley settled upon a homestead claim in the Glade, where he has since resided, engaged in farming and stock raising. Sheriff Dilley was united in marriage to Miss Ora M. Dustin of Goldendale, in that town in 1896. She is the daughter of Hiram and Rachel (Smith) Dustin. Mr. Dustin immigrated to the Northwest from his native state, Iowa, in the fifties, and is now engaged in the practice of law at Goldendale. Mrs. Dustin was born in Ohio and was married to Mr. Dustin at the age of eighteen. Her parents were pioneers of The Dalles. Mrs. Dustin pass out of life's portal while a resident of Klickitat county in 1893. In Washington county, Oregon, Mrs. Dilley was born in 1875, and two years later came with her parents to Klickitat county, where she received her education. Mr. and Mrs. Dilley have two children: Alger I., born August 20, 1897, and Edna, born April 3, 1902. Sheriff Dilley, besides being prominent and influential in political affairs, is also an active lodge man, being a charter member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, in North Yakima, and a Knight of Pythias. Both himself and Mrs. Dilley are well known socially, and posess many warm friends. They are members of the Methodist church. Mr. Dilley's property interests consist of his homestead, of which a goodly portion is improved, and some stock.
