James Urquhart
James Urquhart (March 15, 1822 – February 23, 1901) served three terms in the Washington Territory legislature. He was also elected to three terms as a county commissioner in Lewis County, Washington. He was a delegate to the Washington State Constitutional Convention. In 1873 he laid out the town of Napavine where he was Postmaster and ran the general store. He chose the town's name from the Indian word "napavoon" meaning small prairie.〔http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/minibios/u/urquhart_james.htm〕
==Early Years==
Urquhart was born in Dingwall, Ross-Shire, Scotland. Cromarty and the Black Isle had been the home of the Clan Urquhart since ancient times. He left Ross-shire as a teenager going first to Arbroath on the North Sea coast where he learned the merchant's trade in an uncle's store. He then moved on to Linlithgow where he worked on the new railroad that was being constructed, married a local girl by the name of Helen Muir, and started a family of his own.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=-yVPAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA609-IA2&lpg=PA609-IA2&dq=history+of+the+puget+sound+country+urquhart&source=bl&ots=i-2LCkRY8w&sig=bP_UF65uVs_nkYr7ZJ0db115iSc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EicGT9uDDJPiggexvLS5Ag&ved=0CDsQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=history%20of%20the%20puget%20sound%20country%20urquhart&f=false〕
