FRANK S. DEMENT - He whose name initiates this paragraph stands at the head of one of the most important industrial enterprises in the city of Walla Walla, being president of the Dement Brothers Company, proprietors of the Eureka Flouring Mills. Mr. Dement is one of the sons of the Pacific northwest, having been born in Oregon City, Oregon, on November 3, 1853, the son of William C. Dement, who crossed the plains in 1843, becoming one of the earliest pioneers of Oregon and continuing to reside in Oregon City until his death, which occurred in 1864.
The immediate subject of this review received his educational training in the public schools of his native city, where he remamed up to the time of his removal to Walla Walla. There he also published the Oregon City Enterprise, a weekly journal of distinct merit and vitality, disposing of the property at the time he determined to identify himself with the business interests of Walla Walla, whither he came in 1879. Here he was engaged in the grocery trade for nearly two years, after which he associated himself with his brother, Fred G. Dement, and W. D. Church, in the purchase of the finely equipped milling property of the firm of Welch & Schwabacher, in the conduct of which enterprise they have since continued under the title of Dement Brothers Company. The mills are supplied with full roller process equipment of the most improved order and the output capacity is two hundred and thirty-five barrels per day. The trade of the company transcends local limitations, shipments being made not only in contiguous states but also to the oriental trade. The enterprise is conducted with much discrimination and due conservatism and is established on the firmest commercial basis.
The public-spirited attitude of Mr. Dement is shown when we revert to the fact that prior to his removal to Walla Walla he was the county treasurer of Clackamas county, Oregon, an office which he resigned at the time of his removal. He is at the present time chairman of the board of school directors of Walla Walla, having been a member of said board for the past eight years and having taken a deep interest in the promotion of educational facilities.
The year 1877 marks the date of the marriage of Mr. Dement to Miss Frances Miller, the ceremony being solemnized in Oregon City, where Mrs. Dement was a member of one of the honored pioneer families. Our subject and his wife are the parents of three children, Charles F., Olive M. and Frank B.
