Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Harry H. Dean (November 11, 1868- December 7, 1946) was born in Iowa and was hired by the Great Northern Railway in 1885 to work in the construction of the railway through the Cascades. He later worked as an engineer on the route and continued to work for the railroad until he retired in 1939. He lived in Leavenworth at the family farm, and later in Spokane. He started the H.H. Dean Motor Company in Spokane (in the 1910s or 1920s). In his later years, Dean spent time hunting which was one of his interests. He married his first wife Cora Snook in 1892 and had a son, Donald (Dodge) Dean, and then married Cora's half-sister, Nellie Shinkle in 1902 and had a daughter, Dorothy Dean. Dodge was a flight instructor in the 1940s for the Royal Canadian Air Force, and was also a member of the United States Army Air Corps. Family ancestry is further enumerated in The Deans in America written in 1974 by John Erwin Dean, who is a descendant of Maurice Dean, one of Harry’s brothers.
