HENRY J. HIBBARD, one of the prominent men of Wasco county, is now living a retired life at Hood River. He has been very active in laboring for the benefit of the country and was for a time one of the most skillful and successful fruit raisers of the section. He was born in Vermont, on July 19, 1846. His father, Joseph B. Hibbard, was a native of Vermont as were also his parents and their parents so far as is known were of English descent. The Hibbard family have been leading people for many generations and were well known in business circles, at the bench and in other professional lines. Especially in the medical profession were they prominent in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The mother of our subject, Olive H. (Pratt) Hibbard, was also born in Vermont. The Pratt family is well known as one of the colonial families of patriotism and spirit. They were especially prominent in manufacturing lines, having some very large establishments in Connecticut, and also through-out New England. When Henry J. was four years of age, his parents came to Wisconsin which was then a pioneer country. He did freighting and various work after arriving at manhood's estate and in 1877, as stated above, came west. He located in Klickitat county, Washington, and gave his attention to stock and grain raising and took up government land. In 1891, he closed out the stock business and came to Oregon, settling in Hood River. Here he purchased forty acres of first class fruit land, four miles out from town and planted an orchard. He displayed marked skill and care in this labor and when he sold the property in 1902, it was considered one of the best orchards in the entire valley. The place was in every respect, a model. After that, Mr. Hibbard purchased land in Hood River and erected a residence where he dwells at the present time. In political matters, we find Mr. Hibbard a strong Republican and he has participated in campaigns for years. He attends most of the conventions and is a prominent figure there. In 1902, he was elected commissioner of Wasco county and is giving excellent satisfaction in that important office.
On November 1, 1866, in Wisconsin, Mr. Hibbard married Miss Emma Axtell, a native of Maine and descended from an old and prominent family.
