KALE The history of Everson's growth is inseparably associated with the record of the Kale family, whose members have rendered signal service to this locality over a period of more than forty years. The present active representative, Jesse A. Kale, is one of the leading dairymen of this section of the county and his record is a credit to the honored name he bears. He was born January 7, 1873, and is a native of Guthrie Center, Iowa. His parents were Corydon Stewart and Charlotte Elizabeth (McNeil) Kale, the former a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the latter of the state of Massachusetts. They migrated to Iowa in an early day and the father became engaged in teaching school, also following the occupations of blacksmithing and farming. In 1882 he came to Whatcom county and preempted government land, becoming the owner of a tract on which the town of South Everson is now situated. There were very few settlers in this district, in which a wagon road had been opened, and he was confronted with the arduous task of clearing the land and preparing it for the sowing of seed and the growing of crops. He eventually transformed the place into a productive farm and with the progressive spirit of the true pioneer sought other lines of endeavor for the outlet of his energies. He embarked in the logging industry and operated the first grist mill in this locality, as well as one of the first shingle mills. He aided in starting the cannery and later established the C. S. Kale Cannery Company. A man of exceptionally keen discernment, he seemed to know intuitively when the time was ripe for the institution of a new project, and no undertaking with which he was associated ever failed to reach a successful termination. He was a stanch adherent of the republican party and acted as county commissioner, making a fine record in the office. Directing his labors into constructive channels, he wrought effectively for the good of the community and his memory is revered by all with whom he was associated. Jesse A. Kale attended the public schools of Iowa and Washington and also completed a course in the Wilson Business College. He assisted his father in his industrial operations and at the age of twenty-seven years started out for himself, becoming a mill engineer. In 1904 he went to Alaska and for five years was connected with mining activities in that country. On the expiration of that period he returned to Everson, and after the death of his parents he purchased the home ranch, on which he has since resided. He owns a seventy acre tract, on which he has established a fine dairy, keeping a herd of pure bred Jersey and Guernsey cattle. He has installed modern equipment and his methods are practical and scientific. The buildings on the farm are large and substantial and everything about the place bears evidence of thorough, painstaking supervision. In 1900 Mr. Kale married Miss Edith N. Wheelis, a daughter of the Rev. Isam Wheelis, one of the early Presbyterian ministers of Washington, and they have a family of seven children: Ailene, a resident of Spokane, Washington; Helen, the wife of Walter Ferchen, of Aberdeen, Washington; and Frances, Beth, Jean, Allan and Harry, all of whom are at home. Mrs. Kale is affiliated with the Presbyterian church and faithfully observes its teachings. Along fraternal lines Mr. Kale is identified with the Modern Woodmen of America, and in politics he preserves an independent attitude, regarding the qualifications of a candidate as a matter of first importance. He has witnessed notable changes as pioneer conditions have been replaced by the advantages of modern civilization, rejoicing in what has been accomplished, and his many friends in Everson speak of him in terms of high regard.
