THE CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF OREGON 1811-1912
A. M. FANNING, the present mayor of Sheridan, was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, January 29, 1867, a son of Charles H. and Phoebe (Dreggs) Fanning. He belongs to a family of Irish descent, an ancestor coming from Limerick, Ireland, in the seventeenth century and settling in Connecticut. Representatives of the name were in the Revolutionary war. Charles H. Fanning was born in the state of New York and removed in boyhood with his parents to Michigan, where he lived during the remainder of his life, his death occurring in 1881. He was a shoemaker by trade. His wife was also born in New York and died in Michigan in 1881.
In their family were six sons: Edward, deceased; William A., of El Paso, Texas; James Louis; A. M., of this review; George J., a physician at Wendling, Oregon, and Seth, deceased.
A. M. Fanning was educated in the common schools of Michigan and at the age of seventeen went to Chicago, where he was engaged in hotel work until the following year, or until 1886. He then removed to Butte, Montana, becoming a solicitor for insurance.
Later for the period of a year he was employed in a quartz mill. The following year, or in 1887, he came to Oregon, settling in Portland, where he was solicitor for a hospital company and also tilled the position of bookkeeper until 1889. In that year he began the study of law, becoming a student in the Oregon State College, where he spent
one year. He remained in Portland for ten years, during which time he was in the government mail service as railway mail clerk.
Subsequently he came to Sheridan, taking up his abode on a prune ranch which he had previously developed. He remained there three years, when he removed to Sheridan, but he still operates the ranch, which consists of one hundred and twenty acres on which he has good buildings and about seven thousand prune and walnut trees. He also owns in Sheridan a block of fine brick buildings, among which is a warehouse, and an opera house of which he is manager. Besides this he owns property in Michigan and a tract of land near Portland, on which he is cultivating prunes. In addition to his other business interests he has figured in financial circles, having organized the Farmers' State Bank, of which he was president until 1908.
Mr. Fanning was married in 1894 to Miss Nettie Bailey, a native of Michigan, and they have four children, Irma Eleanor, Baylis Gilbert, Beulah Phoebe and Lea Irene, all of whom are in school except the latter. In politics Mr. Fanning is a democrat and as a candidate on that party's ticket was elected mayor of Sheridan, in which capacity he is now serving. He is a stalwart friend of the cause of education and while residing on his farm he was a member of the school board.
Fraternally he is allied with the United Artisans and was formerly a member of the Knights of Pythias. He is an honorary member of the State Horticultural Society and a member of the Sheridan Commercial Club, in the organization of which he was instrumental. He may well be called a self-made man for he started in life empty-handed and
carefully saved his earnings until able to purchase property, since which time his management of his horticultural and agricultural interests has brought him success. That he is regarded as the foremost citizen of his community is evidenced by the fact that his fellow townsmen have chosen him as their chief executive.
