GOTTLIEB WYSS. Probably no young man of Tillamook county has more wisely or capably directed his energies than Gottlieb Wyss, who, although he has only attained the age of twenty-six years, has through his own efforts attained a position that entitles him to be classed among the affluent agriculturists of the community. He was born in Switzerland on August 14, 1885, and is a son of Gottlieb and Susanna Wyss, natives of the same country. When he was a lad of thirteen years the family emigrated to the United States, locating in Oregon, where the father purchased the ranch now occupied by our subject. There Mr. Wyss passed away in 1899, but the mother lived until 1905. Unto this couple had been born the following children: Susanna, the wife of Julius Hauschel, now living in the state of Washington; Rosie, who married Benjamin Jacob; Gottlieb, our subject; Alfred, who is deceased; Margaret, the wife of Peter Becker, of Pendleton, Oregon; Peter, who is living in Cook county, this state; and Christ, John, Fred, Anna and Ulrich.
Gottlieb Wyss received a common-school education in his native country, after which he turned his energies to farming. Being the eldest son in a large family, much devolved upon him, his responsibilities being greatly increased after the death of his father, at which time he was only a youth of fourteen. He was a capable lad, however, possessing the executive ability and keen judgment, that enabled him to develop into the business man he is today. He still engages in the operation of his father's farm and in connection with his agricultural pursuits is making a specialty of dairying. He keeps forty-eight fine milch cows, which net him on an average three hundred dollars per month. Thrifty and of temperate habits he has acquired a very comfortable capital and recently purchased an improved ranch of one hundred and forty acres, five miles southeast of Tillamook, for twenty-nine thousand dollars.
Mr. Wyss was married on the 18th of October, 1911, to Miss Anna Curflueh(sic), a daughter of John and Katie Curflueh(sic), the former of whom is engaged in dairying in Tillamook county. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, belonging to the Tillamook lodge, and he votes the republican ticket. He has never taken an active part in local politics, however, always having preferred to give his undivided attention to his own affairs, in which he has met with such gratifying success.
