Origin Of The Seiler Name

From the 1915 Grant County Atlas.

A question as to the origin of the Milwaukee Road siding of Seiler was brought up. It's located near the junction the Milwaukee used to get from the Moses Lake branch to the U&I Sugar plant at Scalley/Wheeler. It survives today as the end of a spur for the Columbia Basin Railway.

With the large number of Seiler owned sections shown on the map, I suspect they had bought the land from the Northern Pacific.
