The subject of this sketch is more generally known in the Wenatchee country as plain “Ed” Dennis. His father was a native of New York State, but when quite young moved with the family to Newark, New Jersey. And it was from this place that the elder Dennis left home and enlisted for service in the Civil War. He went through the historic battle of Gettysburg, and was in many other heavy engagements. Soon after his release from the army, he went to Texas and lived for a time in Dallas. For six years he was employed by a large cattle company and helped to drive many bands of cattle to the northern markets. He followed farming three years in Nebraska, and it was in this state in 1873 that he was married to Miss Matilda Bartlet. In 1875, the subject of this sketch was born, and the following year the family crossed the plains by team and wagon to Oregon, making an unusually quick trip. In 1877, they came to the Washington Territory and located in Walla Walla County, and five years later the family tent was pitched in Kittitas Valley. From these dates it will be seen that Mr. Dennis can qualify as an honest-to-goodness pioneer. In this valley Mr. Dennis grew up on a farm. At first neighbors were few and far between, but like other aged to get a good deal of fun out of life. He was fond of horses, and plenty of them were at his disposal. On June 7, 1903, Mr. Dennis was married to Miss Edna Yocum, a pioneer girl of Kittitas Valley. They have one son, Frank Edward, a graduate of Wenatchee High School. Mr. Dennis established himself in the Wenatchee country in 1901, and for one year he leased the Philip Miller ranch. One year later he located on Washington Avenue which became the Dennis permanent home at the time of marriage. Mr. Dennis conducted a nursery business for 13 years with success to himself and to the satisfaction of his numerous customers. Buying nursery stock is sometimes an uncertain business, but Mr. Dennis seldom made a mistake. His trees were true to name and accurate in count. For a number of years he has conducted an auto supply house, which at the present time is located on South Wenatchee Avenue. “A History of Central Washington, Including he Famous Wenatchee, Entiat, Chelan and the Columbia Valleys,” 1929.
