PATRICK H. MILES
The son of James and Bridget (Doolen), natives of Ireland, our subject first saw the light in that famous little isle on December 29, 1841, and amid the rural scenes of his native land he passed the first six years of his life. 1847 was the year that the family tore themselves from the home land and sought their fortunes in America, settling first in Ontario county, New York, whence, two years later, they removed to Lockport, Illinois, where the father and mother passed to the other world, and at eighteen Patrick H. found himself on his own resources in this new land. He was possessed of strength and a dauntless spirit, coupled with consummate courage and pluck, and his energy at once caused him to try the west, his first venture being to Pike's Peak, where he mined and freighted for two years and then at the very beginning of the war enlisted in the Second Colorado Cavalry and did faithful military service for his chosen country in the army of the frontier in Missouri, Kansas, Colrado and New Mexico until the war closed. Soon after this time he was married to Miss Mary Crimmons, a native of Illinois, and together they migrated to Oregon, settling first in Union county, near the town of Union, and in 1869 he took land on Big creek in the same county, where he remained for twenty years, devoting his attention to the cultivation of the soil and stock raising. Following this period, he removed to his present place of one hundred and twenty acres in the Lower Powder river valley, fifteen miles from Baker City, where he is dividing his attention between agriculture and placer mining, which latter is prosecuted on Eagle creek. He is also interested in the recent oil finds in Malheur and Crook counties, this state, his son being the first discoverer of the same. In political matters he is a Republican and has frequently been called by his fellows to discharge the duties of public office, which has been done with faithfulness and the manifestation of ability.
To Mr. and Mrs. Miles have been born the following children: David A., James D., John D., Charles H., Ellen A., wife of W. Davis of Eagle valley, Roland G.

History of Central Oregon, published 1906, Biographical Sketches of Lake County by James Small, page 903
Holder, William
William Holder is now one of the thrifty tillers of the soil and lives in the vicinity of Paisley, Crook county, Oregon his home being eleven miles south of that place. He was born on August 11, 1854, near Cornwalll, Benton county, Oregon. His father, Adam Holder, was born in Pennsylvania, crossing the plains form Iowa in 1853 to Benton county and in 1859 settled in Corvallis, where he followed blacksmithing. In 1885, he came across the mountains to Sherman county where he is now living, aged eighty-two years. He married Julia A. Kompp, who was born on the Rine, in Germany. she came to the United States when a girl and lived in Iowa where she was married. She is now seventy-two yeas of age and is still living. Her father, August Kompp, was an officer in the German army. Our subject has one brother, Lewis D. of Sherman county, Oregon and one sister Mrs. Pinkie Johnson, deceased. William was educated in the public schools and the agricultural collage at Corvallis. In 1881 he went to Sherman county, his name appearing on the Republican ticket and he was the first Republican sheriff of the county. So well did he fill the office that two years later he was chosen again to the same position and in 1898, the people determined to give him a third term and accordingly he was overwhelmingly elected. This gives him six years of continuous service in that important office and he left a record of uprightess and faithfulness seldom exceeded. In 1900 Mr. Holder went to Shaniko, where he operated a newspaper for a while , then he bought the Prineville Review and conducted it for a time. After that , we find him in charge of the Paisley Post and in the fall of 1903, he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of good land where he now resides, one-third of which is in cultivation and it is a splendid estate. It possesses some natural meadow, has an abundance of water for irrigation , has all the improvements and conveniences, as house, barn, orchard and so fourth.
Mr. Holder has been twice married and has six children: Nellie, the wife of Erwin Pike of Sherman county; Minnie, wife of Prof. Frank Henry of Moro, Oregon; Carl; Neva; Eulalia; and Thomas.
Mr. Holder is past grand of the I.O.O.F. and present noble grand. He is a member of the encampment, and of the W.W. the Maccabees and the K.P. He has been representative to the grand lodges of the I.O.O.F. and Maccabees. He is a man of energy and intelligence, well informed on the questions of the day and a progressive, public minded citizen.

HISTORY OF BENTON COUNTY, OREGON
Published By: David D. Fagan
Portland, Oregon (1885)
BLAIR, Thomas J.--Was born in Bond county, Illinois 11 June 1830, but at the age of 6 years went with his parents to Lee county, Iowa, where he resided and engaged in farming until the spring of 1853. Mr. BLAIR and his wife now crossed the plains to Oregon, arriving in October of that year; but in March of 1854, he removed from Oregon City to Benton county, and first settled on the South Fork of Mary's river, on land now owned by Mr. SPEARS. While residing on this claim our subject found the country in the throes of a civil war, and like every patriotic citizen he determined to contribute towards the maintenance of the Union, therefore, in 1864 he enlisted in Company A., First Oregon Infantry and with that corps served nearly 2 years. Upon obtaining his discharge he disposed of his farm, removed to Yaquina Bay and there dwelt for 3 years, when, transferring his residence in 1878, to the city of Corvallis, he engaged in a warehouse and grain-storing business. In the spring of 1884, Mr. BLAIR was elected to the office of Treasurer of Benton county on the Republican ticket, and is still the able and efficient holder of the position. Married in Lee county, Iowa in 1851, Miss Lucinda J. MONTGOMERY, who died 30 June 1881, and had a family, viz: Martha N (now Mrs. F. H. SAWTELL), Nellie, and Clara.

An Illustrated History of Baker, Grant, Malheur and Harney Counties, (1902), by Western Historical Publishing Co. of Chicago, page 461
GEORGE W. PORTER
Mr. Porter was born in Dixmount, Maine in 1832, and when but three years of age his mother died and he spent his childhood and youth in the home of relatives. When he arrived at the age of twenty his attention and time were turned to teaching school, and for a series of years he was numbered with the active and progressive educators of his native place. Following this he learned the wagonmaker's trade and wrought at it for ten years, then turned to farming for a time, and in 1870 he migrated to this section of the west. For a period he was occupied in farming near to John Day and then took a homestead in Malheur, but subsquently he bought the place where he now lives two miles west from John Day. Here he owns and cultivates three hundred and twenty acres of land is counted one of the leading stockmen and agriculturists of the county. His place is well improved and an air of neatness and thrift characterize everything about his premises, and he has added many things that make rural life attractive and comfortable, while his care and ability as a farmer are manifested in every department. Mr. Porter also owns the ranch that he secured in Malheur and considerable other property, being a substantial representative of the property interests of his region. His herds are extensive and his skill in handling them gives him the best of returns from his investments.
The marriage of Mr. Porter and Miss Caroline Prentice was celebrated in Maine in the year 1856. To them have been born four children: Francis, Edith, Lesley and Mary, all of whom are married. In fraternal affiliations Mr. Porter is identified with the Masons, Archon Lodge, in Dixmount, Maine. In politics he is a staunch Republican and has always been an upholder of their platform. He has a goodly prominence in local affairs, having served as justice of the peace for two terms in succession, and is always wide awake in matters that pertain to the welfare of the state and education.

An Illustrated History of Central Oregon, embracing Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, Lake and Klamath Counties, State of Oregon
Western Historical Publishing Company Publishers Spokane, Washington (1905)
Pages 402-403
CHARLES H. SOUTHERN is one of the pioneers of the Boyd country where he has dwelt constantly since coming to Oregon. He is well known business man and property owner and one of the most prominent citizens of the place. He was born in Iowa, on May 14, 1855, the son of Martin and Elizabeth (Bolton) Southern, natives of Virginia. The father's parents were also born in Virginia. The mother came from an old Virginia family. In the fall of 1871, the family came to Oregon and settled in Wasco county near Boyd. The father died on May 5, 1900. Our subject always lived with his parents and upon his father's death, he purchased the old homestead from his mother, which is a residence and eighty acres where he now lives, and four hundred acres of choice wheat land adjoining. Charles H. was educated in the place where the family lived in his early days and was married on November 4, 1878, at The Dalles. The lady of his choice was Miss Emma Rice, who was born in Lane county, Oregon. Her father, Horace Rice, was a native of Ohio and his father died when he was a small lad. He came to Oregon with his mother and brothers and sisters in 1851. His mother had married Beckwith Cook. She died in Polk county, Oregon, in 1874. Mr. Southern has no full brothers living, one half brother, William, two sisters, Mrs. Ella Rice and Mrs. Lenna Seeley (should be Seely). Mr. and Mrs. Southern have two children, Ethel, wife of Roy D. Butler, a merchant at Boyd and mentioned elsewhere in this work, and Harry dwelling at home. Mrs. Southern has the following named brothers and sisters, George, Austin C., Mrs. Etta Waterman and Mrs. Nellie Mann.
Mr. and Mrs. Southern are both devout members of the Methodist church while he holds the office of trustee. He also belongs to the W.W. Politically, he is a Republican and active in the support of the principles of his party, being frequently at the conventions and also taking a keen interest in the campaigns. He has been school director many terms and is a zealous supporter of educational advancement. Mr. Southern laid out the townsite of Boyd in 1895 but he had been in business there since 1889 as a general merchant. About 1899, he sold his store to his son-in-law and now gives his attention to the oversight of his property interests.

CHARLES H. SOUTHERN is one of the pioneers of the Boyd country where he has dwelt constantly since coming to Oregon. He is well known business man and property owner and one of the most prominent citizens of the place. He was born in Iowa, on May 14, 1855, the son of Martin and Elizabeth (Bolton) Southern, natives of Virginia. The father's parents were also born in Virginia. The mother came from an old Virginia family. In the fall of 1871, the family came to Oregon and settled in Wasco county near Boyd. The father died on May 5, 1900. Our subject always lived with his parents and upon his father's death, he purchased the old homestead from his mother, which is a residence and eighty acres where he now lives, and four hundred acres of choice wheat land adjoining. Charles H. was educated in the place where the family lived in his early days and was married on November 4, 1878, at The Dalles. The lady of his choice was Miss Emma Rice, who was born in Lane county, Oregon. Her father, Horace Rice, was a native of Ohio and his father died when he was a small lad. He came to Oregon with his mother and brothers and sisters in 1851. His mother had married Beckwith Cook. She died in Polk county, Oregon, in 1874. Mr. Southern has no full brothers living, one half brother, William, two sisters, Mrs. Ella Rice and Mrs. Lenna Seeley (should be Seely). Mr. and Mrs. Southern have two children, Ethel, wife of Roy D. Butler, a merchant at Boyd and mentioned elsewhere in this work, and Harry dwelling at home. Mrs. Southern has the following named brothers and sisters, George, Austin C., Mrs. Etta Waterman and Mrs. Nellie Mann.
Mr. and Mrs. Southern are both devout members of the Methodist church while he holds the office of trustee. He also belongs to the W.W. Politically, he is a Republican and active in the support of the principles of his party, being frequently at the conventions and also taking a keen interest in the campaigns. He has been school director many terms and is a zealous supporter of educational advancement. Mr. Southern laid out the townsite of Boyd in 1895 but he had been in business there since 1889 as a general merchant. About 1899, he sold his store to his son-in-law and now gives his attention to the oversight of his property interests.

From : "History of Central Oregon "
Biographical Sketches of Lake County, page 893 (1906)
RINEHART, Elmer E.
Elmer E. Rinehart is sheriff of Lake county, Oregon, having been elected to that office on the Republican ticket in the spring of 1904. He came to Lake county in 1894 and engaged in the saw mill business in partnership with Resa A. Hawkins, a pioneer of the county, under the firm name of Hawkins & Rinehart. Their plant is situated in the Crooked creek valley, where the company also owns a large tract of timber and agricultural lands. They are still running the mill with profit, and in addition they are quite extensively engaged in the business of raising and farming.
Mr. Rinehart, is a native of Chillicothe, Ohio, and was born January 29, 1864. His father David G. Rinehart, is a native of Pennsylvania, but removed to Ohio about the time of the construction of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Upon the outbreak of the Rebellion he enlisted in the army and his military record covers a period of three and one-half years, during which time he was a participant in some of the most severe battles of the war, among which may be mentioned the battle of Bull Run. He is still living in Ross county Ohio, at the age of eighty-two years. Our subject’s mother was Elizabeth (Erlywine) Rinehart a native of West Virginia. She hat attained the age of sixty-five years when she died in 1895.
Mr. Rinehart was a member of a family of eleven children, eight of whom are still living. The first twenty years of his life were spent in the state of his birth. In 1884 he came west and settled in Surprise valley, California. during his boyhood he mastered the trade of stationary engineer, and since coming to the west has followed that trade, his work being confined to the running of engines in lumber and grist mills.
On May 20, 1888, Mr Rinehart was married to Addie Peters, a native of California, and daughter of Claus Peters, a German by birth and a pioneer of California. Claus Peters was one of the first settlers in Surprise valley, and his death occurred there December 14, 1904. Mr and Mrs Rinehart have been parents of one child, a son by the name of Clarence D.
It may be said to the credit of Mr. Rinehart that he started in business in Lake county ten years ago without a dollar in his own name; but so diligently has he applied his energies to his business and so faithfully has he met all adversities that he is now in the best of circumstances and enjoys the good will of a wide circle of friends.

RINEHART, Elmer E.
Elmer E. Rinehart is sheriff of Lake county, Oregon, having been elected to that office on the Republican ticket in the spring of 1904. He came to Lake county in 1894 and engaged in the saw mill business in partnership with Resa A. Hawkins, a pioneer of the county, under the firm name of Hawkins & Rinehart. Their plant is situated in the Crooked creek valley, where the company also owns a large tract of timber and agricultural lands. They are still running the mill with profit, and in addition they are quite extensively engaged in the business of raising and farming.
Mr. Rinehart, is a native of Chillicothe, Ohio, and was born January 29, 1864. His father David G. Rinehart, is a native of Pennsylvania, but removed to Ohio about the time of the construction of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Upon the outbreak of the Rebellion he enlisted in the army and his military record covers a period of three and one-half years, during which time he was a participant in some of the most severe battles of the war, among which may be mentioned the battle of Bull Run. He is still living in Ross county Ohio, at the age of eighty-two years. Our subject’s mother was Elizabeth (Erlywine) Rinehart a native of West Virginia. She hat attained the age of sixty-five years when she died in 1895.
Mr. Rinehart was a member of a family of eleven children, eight of whom are still living. The first twenty years of his life were spent in the state of his birth. In 1884 he came west and settled in Surprise valley, California. during his boyhood he mastered the trade of stationary engineer, and since coming to the west has followed that trade, his work being confined to the running of engines in lumber and grist mills.
On May 20, 1888, Mr Rinehart was married to Addie Peters, a native of California, and daughter of Claus Peters, a German by birth and a pioneer of California. Claus Peters was one of the first settlers in Surprise valley, and his death occurred there December 14, 1904. Mr and Mrs Rinehart have been parents of one child, a son by the name of Clarence D.
It may be said to the credit of Mr. Rinehart that he started in business in Lake county ten years ago without a dollar in his own name; but so diligently has he applied his energies to his business and so faithfully has he met all adversities that he is now in the best of circumstances and enjoys the good will of a wide circle of friends.

James E. Marquam
Is one of the representative sons of Oregon, his birth having occurred in this state June 12, 1850, a half mile east of the town which bears the family name. His father, Alfred Marquam, was born in Kentucky and there engaged in the manufacture of chairs and also followed the painter’s trade. Attracted by the opportunities of he great northwest, he made his way with an ox-team across the plains to Oregon, in the year 1845, traveling by way of the Meeks cutoff. The journey was a difficult one, for there had been little travel prior to that time and it required no little courage to face the hardships and difficulties incident of a trip across the plains and through the mountains f[v]astnesses. He started in the spring and after several months spent upon the way reached his destination and secured a donation land claim of six hundred and forty acres. He built the first house and the first store in the town that now bears his name and was also the first postmaster here. He aided materially in the development and upbuilding of this portion of the state and the town of Marquam now stands as a monument to his work and to his memory. He was an advocate of the Republican party and had no little influence throughout Oregon not only in political circles, but as a representative of business interests and of the pioneer development of the state. He passed away at the age of sixty-two years, while his wife, who bore the maiden name of Olive W. Burbage, was also a native of Kentucky and likewise died in Oregon.
Reared under the parental roof James E. Marquam assisted his father during the period of this boyhood. He was the fifth in a family of eleven children and to the common schools system of the state he was indebted for the educational privileges he enjoyed. At the age of eighteen years he rented his father’s land and began farming on his own account, which pursuit he followed upon the old homestead for ten years. During that period, with the capital he had gained through his labors he purchased one hundred and seven acres of land in the brush and with characteristic energy he began its development and cultivation. The most of his life, however, he has rented land and has thus carried on farm work which has brought him a fair return.
Mr. Marquam was united in marriage in the town of Marquam to Miss Mary Ross, a native of Oregon and a daughter of Thomas Ross, who was a carpenter and farmer. He made the journey with ox-teams across the plains to the northwest in the year 1850 and secured a government land claim in Clackamas county. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Marquam: James C.; Homer A.; William G., deceased; Thomas C., Jewell and Itress. James C. now conducts a general merchandise store at Marquam and is also serving as postmaster, having been appointed to the position August 8, 1900.
Mr. Marquam is a member of the Knights of the Maccabees and also belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church. In his political views he is an earnest Republican, doing everything in his power to promote the success of the party, and for one term he served as road supervisor and for one term as school director. He is a representative of one of the oldest families of this portion of the state and as far as possible he has carried on the work of improvement and progress, which was instituted by his father in pioneer times.
