Catherine Elizabeth Stump

One of the oldest living pioneers of Polk county, Ore., is Mrs. Catherine Elizabeth Stump, who crossed the plains with her parents in 1844, enduring with a pioneer’s courage and patience the trials and privations incident to the life of the early settlers, and proving with the passing of the years her title to citizenship of this great western commonwealth.

The father of Mrs. Stump, Aaron Chamberlin, was born in New York, July 4, 1809, and removed to Michigan with his parents when a young man, his father having settled near Detroit. On attaining his majority he married Catherine Viles, a native of New Jersey, and after a time spent in Iowa, they removed to Missouri, locating near St. Joseph. This city was in the pathway of the western emigrants, and it was only a short time until Mr. Chamberlin was imbued with the idea of the advantages and opportunities of the west, and after two and a half years they joined an emigrant train drawn by oxen, and started upon their journey. During the six months before they reached Oregon City their greatest difficulty lay in their limited provisions, but without other incident they arrived at their destination a week before Christmas, having left their home May 10. As soon as the donation act went into effect, Mr. Chamberlin at once took up a donation claim of six hundred and forty acres, located south of Luckiamute, Polk county, upon which he remained until 1868, making a success of his western venture. In the last named year he went to Sonora, Mexico, to visit a son, and while there he was taken ill with the fever and died, March 4, 1869, in his sixty-first year. His wife died on the home place in Oregon October 20, 1883. She was the mother of 6 children, four of whom are now living, two daughters and four sons, Joseph Chamberlin, Catherine, Ann and Enoch, the third being Catherine, who was born in Michigan, near Detroit, February 23, 1835.

Though but nine years old when the journey was made to their new home, Mrs. Stump was old enough to realize the trials and privations which they necessarily experienced, and she continued to bear with patience whatever fell to her lot during the years in which her father was making his competency. A very limited education was received through the medium of the early schools located in the vicinity of their home, after which she was married March 10, 1850, to David Stump, who was born in Ohio, October 29, 1819, and who, in 1845, when twenty-one years old, crossed the plains alone by ox-team and after his marriage settled on a donation claim near Luckiamute, Polk county, and engaged in farming and cattle-raising. In his combined interests he met with most gratifying success, at his death owning in the county twenty-three hundred acres of land. Not satisfied to be alone a financial success, Mr. Stump gave much of his time to public works of various description, being actively interested in the Christian College, which was organized in 1865, and also other notable movements, whose aim was toward the upbuilding of the town of Monmouth. As a Republican he ably represented his party in the state legislature for one term. Religiously he was a member of the Christian Church. His death occurred February 20, 1886, at the age of sixty-six years. Of the four children born to Mr. and Mrs. Stump, Mary S. is the widow of Rev. T.F. Campbell, a professor in the Christian College and for thirteen years its president; since his death his widow has made her home with her mother; Joseph Solomon, a mining man of Nome, Alaska; Catherine B. also makes her home with her mother, and John B. is located on a farm of six hundred acres in this county. Mr. Stump had built a handsome residence in Monmouth, on the corner of Jackson street and College avenue, and in 1878 had occupied it, giving to his children the advantages of the college at Monmouth, now the Oregon State Normal School, while the two daughters took a post-graduate course at Wellesley, Mass.

Henry Bellenger Tucker

The Tucker Family - 1852

HILLSBORO, Oct. 12 -- Oregon perhaps contains a no more interesting group of early pioneers than the Tucker family. The father, Henry Bellenger, now 94 years of age, and his two sons, Thomas and William, aged 68 and 65, respectively, are now hale and strong, living in Washington County. Having come to Oregon in 1852, they have been important factors in the development of the state.

Henry Bellenger Tucker was born in Kentucky in 1804. His father was a Kentucky rifleman, originally from North Carolina, and was with Hull in the war of 1812, from which he never returned. "Granddaddy" Tucker, as he is familiarly called by all old pioneers, was married in Indiana in 1829 to Elizabeth McKay. They had six children -- Martha, Mary, Sara, and Louisa Tucker, and the two sons, the latter only surviving. His wife died at Beaverton August 3, 1881, on the donation land claim taken up in 1852. Mr. Tucker is about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and, notwithstanding his 94 years, walks as erect as an Indian, and still retains his mental faculties. He is very vigorous, and is a good story teller. As late as two years ago he read without the use of glasses. In the early days he was a famous rifle shot, and his prowess, and that of his two sons, was undisputed at the old-time shooting matches. His first vote for president was cast for Andrew Jackson. Since the civil war he has been a Republican. He is the sole survivor of six children. His ancestors came from the Bermudas, and were early settlers of Virginia.

Thomas Tucker, the eldest son, was born in Indiana in 1831. He married Mary A. McKay in 1854. They settled on a donation land claim near Beaverton. To them were born five children -- Samuel H. Tucker, a well-known O.R. & N. engineer, who died at his post on a snow plow, near Troutdale, January 3, 1895; William O. and Lucinda J. Tucker, Mrs. U.S. Gardner, and Mrs. Charles Elwell. Mr. Tucker's first house was built of logs, which were carried to the site upon his back. He was in the early days twice elected county commissioner. He, with Jacob Hoover, brought suit against the promoters of the West Side railroad, and saved the county the payment of $50,000 bonds, with interest. The county had originally contracted to pay this sum to secure the railroad, but the company did not live up to the contract. Although the company made a hard fight, the court rendered a decision returning the bonds, and releasing the county. During war times Mr. Tucker belonged to the Union league. His first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln. He still takes a great interest in politics, and is an ardent republican. He and his wife now reside in Hillsboro, having sold their Beaverton farm several years ago. Mr. Tucker is over six feet tall, and is an ideal pioneer. A splendid marksman, he still remains an ardent hunter, and has just returned from an elk hunt in the mountains.

William Tucker was born in Indiana in 1833. When he was but 19 years of age he crossed the plains with his father. He took up a claim near Beaverton, and he and his brother built the first sawmill in that section. In 1855 he joined Colonel Cornelius' command, and went east of the mountains to fight indians. In 1859 he married Mary J. Landess. Their children are: Mrs. George Teft, Abraham Lincoln Tucker (deceased), Thomas B. and George Tucker, Mrs. Henry Woolf, Mrs. W. B. Anderson, Mrs. J. H. Anderson, Ira, William, Lottie, and Carl Tucker. Mr. Tucker is a Mason and he has for 35 years taken an active part in local affairs. Like his brother Thomas, he is a six-footer. He still resides on a farm near Beaverton.




Obituary of Henry B. Tucker (May, 1899)



Henry B. Tucker

--------

Washington County Pioneer of 1852 Has Passed Away

--------

Henry Bellenger Tucker, aged 96, who came to Oregon in August 1852, died at the home of his son, William Tucker, near Beaverton, Friday, May 4, of pneumonia. Deceased was born in Kentucky, December 12, 1804. His father, Wm. Tucker, was a North Carolinan, and was one of the Kentucky pioneers. When the war of 1812 broke out he joined Hull's forces at Detroit as one of the Kentucky riflemen. From there he never returned, and it is supposed he was ambushed by the indians while returning from the frontier.

Early in life Henry Tucker went to Indiana, where he married Elizabeth McKay, daughter of a veteran of the war of 1812. The summer of 1852 they crossed the plains, their children coming with the train. They settled near Beaverton, where the wife died in August, 1881. Two sons survive -- Thomas Tucker, a resident of Hillsboro, aged 69, and William, aged 67, with whom the father was visiting when death came.

Deceased was in the early days one of Oregon's famous rifle-shots, and his prowess as a hunter was a credit to the reputation of Kentucky for producing the world's greatest marksmen. Mr. Tucker's first presidential vote was cast for Andrew Jackson. Since the civil war, however, he has been an ardent republican.

The funeral occurred Sunday from the home of his son, William, and burial took place at the Crescent cemetery, three miles southeast of Beaverton.

BARLOW, CASS U. [Editor inserted: Cassius Union Barlow], of Barlow, was born at that place October 19, 1858, and moved to Oregon City when a child. From 1870 to 1880 he attended school at Portland and Monmouth, and then became a member of the firm of Shepard, Jaycox & Co., at Walla Walla, Washington, for two years, and also engaged in wheat growing. Later he acted as traveling agent of the Portland firm of Staver & Walker for five years. He then became manager of the Seattle branch and made trips East. Since 1889 he has lived at Barlow, and is a member of the Barlow-Will Mercantile Company. In 1889 he attended the national league convention at Baltimore as proxy for M. C. George. He is secretary of the Barlow Republican Club, and has represented the club in the league.

BARLOW, WILLIAM, of Barlow, was a member of the first Republican convention in Oregon, and has been an earnest party worker ever since. He was born on a farm in Indiana in1822, and has made farming his business through life. He was one of the pioneers of the state, and has taken an active part in the moulding its destinies. He has filled numerous offices of trust, such as Justice of the Peace, County Assessor, County Commissioner, etc., but has been too busy a man to seek legislative honors, though he has given his time to conventions freely. He is an earnest advocate of the coinage of both gold and silver without restriction.

William Barlow's parents, and Cassius's grandparents, were Samuel Barlow and Susannah Lee.

Mollee Hatton: "Who's your momma/daddy?" Genealogy Project 401 Findings

Mollee Hatton (shown here, with niece - Bentlee), from Douglas County, recently asked for assistance in outlining her family tree and looking for any historical information regarding her family.

While still rooting around... here are a few of our favorite Mollee Hatton Family Tree findings:


1) Mollee is a seventh generation Oregonian.

2)
Name: John TUTTLE , Sr.
Sex: M
Birth: 22 MAR 1761 in Fairfax Co., VA
Death: 30 SEP 1840 in Germanton, Stokes Co., NC
Note:
Revolutionary War Pension Application of
John Tuttle b. 22 March 1761 in Fairfax County, Va. and
d. 30 September 1840 in Stokes County, NC

Declaration of John Tuttle, 75--Stokes Co., NC--13 June 1836--resident of
Stokes.

John entered service as a private volunteer militia soldier. He enrolled in
Capt. Peter Oneal’s company in Rockingham Co., NC, about Easter 1778. When there was a special call for soldiers to be in ready at a moments notice to march in order to rout tories, he being one of the men taken from Capt.
Oneal’s companyto make up a company commanded by Capt. Philips of Rockingham County. Capt. Philips marched his company different directions and ways through Guilford County to Deep River. He was in service at least two months and returned home to Rockingham.

He was then drafted out of Capt. Oneal’s company in Rockingham County for a
tour of three months in August 1778 or 1779. He was a private in a company
commanded by a Capt. Wm. Wilson and marched to Guilford Courthouse, NC, and there they joined Cl. Paisley’s regiment, then marched to Stones Fer
Salisbury and were joined to Gen. Davidson’s Brigade and remained some time at Salisbury, then marched to or near the borders of South Carolina, and
took up what was called headquarters at a place called 12 mile creek, whe
took 18 tories. This applicant was one of the guards. Nine of the prisoners
were acquitted an the other nine were sentences to receive the lash and did
receive them on their bare backs and to serve twelve months in the regular
service. Shortly after, information came that the British Army was advancing towards and near________ and marched to -- and back through Salisbury a
crossed the Yadkin River where we met with an army of Virginia troops.
There we recrossed the river and marched back after the British until we came to our old stand at 12 Mile Creek near the Cataba River, the British having crossed 25 miles below in South Carolina. A detachment of our troops was
sent from headquarters to watch and guard at a point on the River to prevent
the British from coming over again. there Tuttle’s time of service ended with many others and they marched back to headquarters at 12 Mile Creek and received a written discharge from Col. Paisley for three months and ten days and then returned home to his father’s in Surry Co., NC, near Major
Winston’s residence.

There being a special call for horse or mounted men, he returned out a
volunteer and furnished his own horse, and firearms were found for h
Jan. 1787. This was in a company commanded by Capt. Robert Hill of Surry
Co., under Major Joseph Winston. They marched from Major Winston’s down
through Rockingham and into Caswell Co., NC. On the route they defeat
parcel of Tories and then joined Col. or Gen. Pickens light horse troops. We
were about 500 strong, and Tarlton the British commander with 800 dragoons
lay a few miles below us towards Hillsboro. One day a party or all of them
advanced on us when we retreated a few miles and formed for battle. Tuttle
was previously wounded on the instep by a rough shod horse and was commanded with other to guard some horses in the rear. When the attack commenced they immediately broke on the right wing which soon became a general disorderly retreat with the loss of two men killed. I with part of the men got into Rockingham and was left to get the inflammation cured in my foot. Meanwhile the company had marched and had another skirmish with the British and Tories at Whitesills Mills and then returned home. In this service I served at least two months (part of which was under Capt Oneal after recovering from the wounded foot) and Capt. Hill discharged him verbally after he recovered from the wound on his foot. Total services were five months 10 days a foot private, two months on horse.

Interrogatories: He was born in Fairfax County, Va, March 22, 1761. He was

living in Rockingham Co., NC, during his first two tours and in Surry Co.,
NC, on his lat. He has lived in Surry and Stokes County ever since in t
same neighborhood (owing to the division of Surry he fell into the part
called Stokes). He believes that Gen. Joseph W. Winston and Wm Cox, Esq
will testify for him.

Aff.: Joseph W. Winston and William Cox, residing in Stokes Co,. certify
they are well acquainted with John Tuttle, he is reputed in the neighborhood
to be a Rev. soldier, and we concur in that opinion.

Declaration of Barbary Tuttle, widow -- Stokes Co., NC - 11 Dec. 1843 -- age
78 - She is the widow of the late John Tuttle (pensioner) who was a private
of infantry and dragoon in Rev. He lived in Stokes Co., NC, and received a

Moses True Dyer (1819 - 1897) arrived in Oregon on August 27, 1852 (donation land claim #479).

Moses True Dyer of Myrtle Creek was one of the earliest to build a sawmill in the Umpqua watershed. Dyer settled in Oregon in 1852 and erected that year a waterpowered mill on South Myrtle Creek on his Donation Land Claim. Although little is known about this mill, it probably cut lumber with a muley or sash-saw. The millwright mounted a metal saw blade in the center of a wooden frame, a device virtually the same as a whipsaw. What made this mill unique, however, was that the saw was driven by a waterwheel geared through a turbine. The saw cut only on its downstroke, while the mill operator inched the log forward for another cut. The process was slow and laborious but a definite improvement over whipsawing in expenditure of human energy. George Riddle recalled that Dyer's mill possessed a primitive "up-and-down saw" but cut flooring for cabins highly superior to split, puncheons. (Land of the Umpqua, Beckham)(Umpqua Trapper #4 1968).

Moses True Dyer was one of the first settlers in the Umpqua region and one of the earliest sawmill operators in what is now the southern portion of Douglas County. He was the son of Elisha and Ruth (Heath) Dyer and was born in Vermont in 1819.

Dyer, a scout in the Blue Mountain Regiment, came first to California in the early 1840's, but returned to the east, and on December 27th 1847, he married Sarah Ross in Hancock County, Illinois.

In 1852 Moses, with his wife and three year old daughter Laura, piloted a wagon train to Oregon. On the way they met some men who told big stories of Gold in California, and upon reaching Fort Hall on the Snake River in Idaho, some of the families decided to change their destination plans and head for the gold. They were all massacred by the Indians. Following the New Oregon Trail, Dyer brought the remaining four families safely to Myrtle Creek on August 27, 1852.

Dyer first built a waterpowered sawmill on South Myrtle Creek, where he and his wife each took up a Donation Land Claim of 160 acres, a total of 320 acres. He settled claim #1 in November 1854. Family folklore says Moses Dyer first located on the Joe Cornelison place, about one mile from Myrtle Creek where he hoped to build a sawmill. However, the timber there was not suitable, so Dyer traded this first claim to Joe Cornelison for a white horse named "Seal" and moved six miles up South Myrtle Creek to his sawmill. The Dyer mill was most likely one of the types known as a "muley" or sash-frame mill; in this type of mill the logs were cut by a long straight saw blade, suspended vertically in a wooden frame which was moved up and down by water power.

Lumber from Moses Dyer's sawmill was likely in great demand, and probably was used in the construction of many of the pioneer homes in the area.

Moses Dyer was one of a family of nine children, and a descendant of sturdy New England stock. His maternal grandfather was Robert Heath married to Anna Swett and his great-grandfather was Benjamin Heath married to Sarah Eastman. Moses True Dyer became the father of eight children. Five of these were born to Mr. Dyer and his first wife, Sarah Ross Dyer; these children were Laura, William, Hezekiah, Margaret Ann and Benjamin Douglas.

Moses served in southern Oregon during the Rogue River Indian War of 1855-56; that when his unit was returning north, he simply went home, was never officially mustered out of the service, and his widow was not eligible for a pension.

Moses Dyer had become interested in the gold mines around Starveout, in upper Cow Creek Valley near Azalea, and when his wife died in 1858, he was unable to keep his family together. The five small children were placed in the homes of friends and neighbors who could take care of them. However, he maintained his home on South Myrtle Creek until his family grew up. The Dyer men were not only affluent farmers but craftsmen as well. Interested in mining, surveying, brick-laying, building and mechandising.
After being a widower for thirty years, Moses Dyer remarried. His second wife was Fletta Smith Bartle, a widow with four small children. A daughter, Dottie, was born to Mr. & Mrs. Dyer in 1890, but died when one and one half years of age. Ruth, was born in 1893, and a son Ilo, was born in 1894.

Moses True Dyer lived to be 79 years old. The pioneer sawmill operator died in 1898 and was buried in the I.O.O.F. cemetery in Myrtle Creek. He could claim no less than fifty grandchildren and many great-grandchildren who grew up to reside in the vicinity of Myrtle Creek, Oregon.

No marker commemorates the site of the pioneer Dyer sawmill, although traces of the mill dam are still visable on South Myrtle Creek. The importance of Moses Dyer's industry is reflected by a map of the Umpqua basin dated 1856; only four locations in the county south of Roseburg are shown on this early map-Round Prairie Post Office, Myrtle Creek Post Office, Canyonville, and "Dyers S. M.", the latter marking the location of the Dyer sawmill.

THE HONORABLE IRVIN LUCIEN SMITH

Irvin Lucien Smith was born in Franklin County, Ohio, six miles east of Columbus, his natal day being May 16, 1827. His paternal grandfather, Samuel Smith, removed from New York to Ohio, becoming one of the pioneer farmers of the latter state. Among his children was Thaddeus Smith, the father of our subject, who was born in the Empire state and with his parents went to Ohio, where he too devoted his energies to farming and there engaged in the tilling of the soil until 1834, when he became a resident of Tazewell county, Ill., not far from Peoria. At that point he carried on farming for many years and at length died in that locality. His wife, who bore the name of Mary Ross, was born in Ohio, of Scotch ancestry. Her death occurred in Illinois soon after the removal of the family to that state and the father later married again. By the first marriage he had four children, two of whom reached manhood: Irvin L. of this review and Levi E., who came to Oregon in 1870 and now resides in Portland. Of the eleven children born of the second union all reached adult age and two of the sons were soldiers in the Civil War. Eli, who served throughout the entire struggle in the Fourth Illinois Volunteer Cavalry, enlisting in 1861, now resides on a farm in Washington county, Ore. William, who became a member of the Sixth Illinois Infantry, was killed in battle at Altoona, Ga. One brother, Leonard, died in Medford, Ore.; and a sister, Mrs. Stephenson, lives in Forest Grove.

In 1834, when Irvin L. Smith was about seven years of age, his parents removed from Ohio to Illinois, making the journey overland by wagon, a distance of four hundred miles, across corduroy roads. He was reared on the old family homestead, attending the public schools and in his youth he was a schoolmate of the Hon. Shelby M. Cullom. The "little temple of learning" was built of logs and was furnished in the primitive style of the period, the methods of instruction being little better than the building and its equipment. Quill pens were used and it was a very common thing to hear the remark from a scholar, "Master, please mend my pen." When nineteen years of age Mr. Smith began work at the carpenter's trade, afterward mastered cabinet making and then engaged in the furniture business in Mackinaw, Ill. Subsequently he resided at Pleasant Hill, in McLean county, that state, and in 1856 he took up his abode upon a farm in the same county, carrying on agricultural pursuits until after the outbreak of the Civil War. In August, 1862, he responded to his country's call for volunteers and joined Company H, Ninety-fourth Illinois Infantry, under Colonel McNulty, being mustered in at Bloomington. The regiment was sent to Springfield, Mo., where Mr. Smith, because of his ability as a carpenter, was detailed to build a hospital, remaining there until after the battle of Prairie Grove, Ark. While there the Confederate troops under Marmaduke advanced upon Springfield and he was engaged in repelling them. Later he participated in the siege of Vicksburg, his regiment being one of the first to enter the city after its capitulation. He participated in the battle of Yazoo City and Port Hutchison, going thence to New Orleans, where for a time he was ill in the hospital. Following this, he crossed the Gulf of Mexico to Brownsville, Tex., and the Ninety-fourth Illinois was one of the two regiments which crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico to protect the American consul, bringing him back into the United States. This trip consumed ten months. Later Mr. Smith participated in the capture of Fort Morgan, Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely, then crossed the gulf again to Galveston, Tex., and a month later returned to New Orleans, where he was mustered out in the fall of 1865 with the rank of sergeant and received an honorable discharge upon his return to Illinois. When he went to the war he left a family consisting of his wife and five children. He had a farm that was in an excellent state of improvement and well stocked and which was free from all indebtedness. It was of course a sacrifice for him to join the army and fight for the flag, but he did this willingly and was most loyal in his attachment to the United States. His wife, in order to meet the living expenses of the household and to pay the high assessments which the war made it necessary to institute, had to sell off the stock and also to incur indebtedness, and thus upon his return Mr. Smith found it necessary to again resume work at the carpenter's trade in order to pay off this indebtedness and gain a new start.

Upon his Illinois farm the subject of this review remained until 1870, when he came to Oregon, locating near Forest Grove, where he purchased a farm, conducting it for a year. He then established the Western Hotel in Forest Grove, which he conducted for four years, at the end of which time he built a shop and embarked in the furniture business. Subsequently he and his sons, James and George, erected a sash and door factory and furniture plant and continued its conduct until the second Democratic disaster, when they retired from business. At that time Mr. Smith took up his abode upon his place of seven acres in Forest Grove and there he lived in honorable retirement until April, 1903, when he moved to Sheridan, Yamhill county. He has passed the Psalmist's span of three score years and ten and well does he merit the rest which is vouchsafed to him.

Mr. Smith was first married in Illinois, the lady of his choice being Miss Margaret Mathews, who was born in Ohio and died in Oregon. They became the parents of twelve children, ten of whom reached years of maturity, namely: Mary, who died in this state; James, a farmer of Umatilla county, Ore.; Mrs. Flora Hinman, of Baltimore, Md.; George, who is engaged in the furniture business in Sheridan, Wyo.; Elmer, of Forest Grove; Mrs. Esther Kane, who is a teacher of Portland; William, a carpenter of Portland; Fred, who is engaged in the furniture business in Sheridan, Wyo.; Mrs. Carrie Merchant of Yamhill and Lillie D., the wife of Rev. W.E. Stewart, of Reno, Nev. After the death of his first wife Mr. Smith was again married, in Salem, Ore., his second union being with Mrs. Margaret J. McMeekin, who was born in Sangamon county, Ill., a daughter of James H. Brown, Sr., who was born in Virginia, and a grand-daughter of James Brown, who removed from the Old Dominion, settling in Columbus, Ohio, while later he became a resident of Tazewell county, Ill., where his death occurred.

James H. Brown, the father of Mrs. Smith, took up his abode in Sangamon county, Ill., where he followed farming and was married. In 1850, with his wife and seven children, he crossed the plains to Oregon, driving an ox-team, and in September he reached his destination. Portland at that time contained but one store. He settled three miles from Sheridan, in Yamhill county, where he purchased a tract of land and engaged in the raising of grain and stock, succeeding so well in his undertakings that in course of time he became the owner of sixteen hundred acres. His death occurred upon his farm in 1875, when he was seventy-two years of age, and the old homestead is now owned by his three sons. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Sophia W. Hussey, was born in Sangamon county, Ill., a daughter of Nathan Hussey, who was born in Ohio and took up his abode upon a farm in the Prairie state. In 1846 he, too, made the long and perilous journey across the plains with an ox-team and settled on the Yamhill river near Fort Yamhill, where he resided until his death in 1895. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Brown were four daughters and three sons, all of whom are living. Their daughter, Margaret J., was reared in Oregon and in Yamhill she gave her hand in marriage to Archibald McMeekin, who was born in Scotland. His parents removed to the north of Ireland, settling in Antrim, whence they came to America, their home being first established in Canada. In 1852 Mr. McMeekin crossed the plains to Oregon. He was a blacksmith and farmer and after reaching this state carried on agricultural pursuits on Mill creek, in Polk county. Later, however, he sold the property and located in Salem. The year following his marriage he was stricken with paralysis and for twenty-four years could not walk a step, during which time with wonderful devotion Mrs. Smith cared for him as she would a child and also managed their farming interests. She owned five hundred acres of land in Mill creek which she has since sold. Her husband died in Salem in 1885 and later she was united in marriage with Mr. Smith. She is a lady of marked force of character, of splendid ability, and is deserving of the greatest credit for what she has accomplished.

In public affairs Mr. Smith has been prominent and influential. An earnest advocate of Republican principles, he served on the first board of trustees of Forest Grove and for three or four terms was a member of the city council. For two terms he was mayor of Forest Grove and in 1878 he was elected county commissioner. In 1880 he was honored with the election to the office of state legislator and in 1886 he was again chosen to represent his district in the general assembly and served during the special session of 1887. A prominent and patriotic member of the house, he did everything in his power to promote the welfare of the state and advance the interests of its institutions. He belongs to James B. Mathews Post No. 6, G.A.R., of which he was the first conductor, and his wife is a member of the Women's Relief Corps, in which she has served as senior vice-commander. This worthy and highly esteemed couple belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which Mr. Smith formerely served as trustee. His has been an eventful career. He lived in Illinois during an early period in the development of that state and has served upon juries there when Abraham Lincoln was one of the attorneys at the bar. Going to Oregon he has borne an active and important part of in the progress and substantial upbuilding of his section of the state and has been particularly helpful along educational lines, serving upon the school board when the schoolhouse of Forest Grove was built. Character and ability will come to the front anywhere, and the genuine worth of Mr. Smith has been widely recognized, making him a distinguished citizen of the Willamette valley.
