Ever since he left the parental roof to begin life's battle on his own account, he has given his attention to the basic art of agriculture and related industries, and as a natural consequence he has acquired a skill in husbandry and an intimate knowledge of methods and details which enable him to realize the largest profits attainable under the circumstances. As a citizen and member of society he enjoys an enviable standing, his life during the many years of his residence in the county having been in all respects so ordered as to win and retain the confidence and regard of those with whom he has been in any way associated. Mr. Fincher is a native of Ohio, born February 22, 1831. While still in his infancy he and Susanna (Sheets) Fincher, and in that state the ensuing ten years of his life were passed. He then accompanied his parents to Wisconsin, where he completed his education, already begun in Indiana. Upon attaining to years of maturity he engaged in farming. He was numbered among the successful and thrifty agriculturists of the state of Wisconsin until 1872, when he removed to Walla Walla county, Washington. The next year he located on Union flat, this county. Eventually, he purchased a place in the vicinity of Penawawa from the Halbrook Brothers, deeming that a highly advantageous location for fruit and cattle-raising. At present he is the owner of five hundred and thirty acres, ten of which are in orchard. For fifteen years after locating in his present place of abode he was extensively engaged in the sheep business, but he gradually disposed of these, replacing them with larger stock. His place is embellished with many handsome and commodious improvements, and an air of enterprise and thrift is everywhere perceptible on the premises. The marriage of our subject was solemnized in the state of Wisconsin in 1853, in which year Mary A. Roub, a native of Pennsylvania, became his wife. They have nine children, namely, Emorette, wife of J. Knox, of Whitman county; Samuel in Spokane; Henry, in Montana; Owen; Annie M., wife of Charles Chamberlin, of this county; John, in Montana; Susanna K., now Mrs. G.
