I came across an online book entitled:
An illustrated history of the Big Bend country
embracing Lincoln, Douglas, Adams, and Franklin counties, state of Washington.
Published 1904 by Western Historical Pub. Co. in [Spokane, Wash.] .

There are many biographical sketches of residents living in the area at that time.
To see an index of biographies, change the page number in the page search field to 15 on this page:

One download option for the book is plain text which is useful if you want to copy a biography for use elsewhere (copyright has long expired).
