William S. Bethel, who for the past three years has owned and occupied a ranch of one hundred and sixty-seven acres nine miles southwest of Emmett, in what is known as the Bramwell neighborhood, has been a resident of Idaho for past two decades, having lived in Canyon county for seventeen years prior to removing to his present place. His birth occurred in Henry county, Iowa, on the 2d of March, 1860, his parents being Cogle Simpson and Diligan (Morgan) Bethel, who were natives of Ohio and Indiana respectively and both of whom have now passed away.
William S. Bethel was reared on a farm in Cass county. Nebraska, and throughout his entire business career has devoted his attention to general agricultural pursuits, which he has followed in the states of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Idaho. It was in 1885, when a young man of twenty-five years, that he removed to Kansas, while the year 1900 witnessed his arrival in Idaho. His present ranch, comprising one hundred and sixty-seven acres nine miles southwest of Emmett, is devoted to the raising of live stock and the growing of alfalfa and fruit. A portion of the land lies on the south slope of the Payette valley and is excellent orchard property, the annual sales of fruit from the orchards amounting to about two thousand dollars. About ten acres planted to peaches, prunes and sweet cherries are now in bearing. Through the careful conduct his ranching interests Mr. Bethel has won a measure of success that entitles him to recognition among the substantial, progressive and representative citizens of Gem county.
On the 29th of August. 1883, in Cass county, Nebraska, Mr. Bethel was united in marriage to Miss Hattie Irene Dickson, who was born in Wisconsin, September 20, 1865, a daughter of William and Phoebe (Wallace) Dickson, both of whom are deceased. The father was a veteran of the Civil war. Mr. and Mrs. Bethel have become parents of eight children, as follows: Delilah May, who is now the wife of James Evans, of Caldwell, Idaho; Verna Viola, who resides at home with her parents; Ira Leroy, who is married and lives on a ranch near that of his parents; Clyde, a resident of Payette, Idaho; Lula Almira; Cogle Henry; Wallace Morgan; and Valentine Irene, who is the wife of Clarence Marrs, of Emmett.
Mr. Bethel gives his political allegiance to the republican party but has never sought or held office other than to serve on the school board, while at the present time he is republican precinct committeeman. Fraternally he is identified with the Woodmen and the Odd Fellows and his religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Friends church, to which his wife also belongs. They are widely recognized as people of genuine personal worth and have gained an extensive circle of warm friends during the period of their residence in this state. (Bio: Amanda Fox)
