Caples, a prominent law practitioner of Vancouver, was born in Jemromesvile, Wayne county, Ohio, August 19, 1823, a son of Robert F. Caples. The latter a native of Maryland, was a lawyer and merchant by occupation, and located in New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas county, Ohio, in 1810. His wife a native of Pennsylvania, and of German extraction. The Caples family were of Scotch English extraction, and came to America in the Mayflower. The grandfathers of our subject, on both sides, participated in the Revolutionary war, and Robert F. Caples commanded a company under General Cass, in the war of 1812. His death occured September 19, 1834, his wife surviving him until 1852. Henry L., the sixth of ten children,--eight sons and two daughters, was reared and educated in his native State. When a lad of twelve years he served an apprenticeship to mercantile pursuits, later in life studied law, and was duly admitted to practice. In 1852 he cast his lot with the young and rapidly growing State of Washington, crossing the plains by the old emigrant route, and locating in Clarke county. After arriving here Mr. Caples was engaged in farming about twelve years, when he again resumed the practice of his profession. Politically, he is a stanch and steadfast Democrat, although not active, but, had he chosen to enter the field of politics he might have achieved distinguished honors. Politics, however, had no power to lure him from the path he had chosen, although he represented his county in the Territorial Legislature from 1855 until 1861. During the forty years of his residence in this State, twelve years of that time was passed east of the mountains. Mr. CAPLES returned to Vancouver in 1890, and since that time has served as Deputy County Clerk. He was married in Ohio, August 11, 1846, to Miss Margaret K. Staley, a native of Maryland. Six of their nine children are still living, as follows: Henry R.; Lillie, now Mrs. W.W. McColley; Rose, wife of H.T. Spedden; Douglass; Charles W.; and Phillip L. The deceased are: Edith, who died in 1849; Robert F., in 1873; and Mary, in 1890. In person, Mr Caples is tall, has a well-knit form, clear-cut and pleasant features, which are often lighted up by a genial smile. He is dignified in deportment and carriage, moving with a firm, decided step, the vigor and elasticity of which the burden of three-score years have failed to impair. Rev. H.K. HINES, D.D. "An Illustrated History of the State of Washington." 1893.
