"History of Southern Oregon, Comprising Jackson, Josephine, Douglas, Curry and Coos Counties. Compiled from the Most Authentic Sources." A. G. Walling, Publisher. Portland, OR. 1884. pg. 522. BENJAMIN C. AGEE Was born in Osage county; Missouri, September 27, 1837. When but two years of age his parents moved to DeKalb county, same state, where his father engaged in farming until April 6, 1852, when he, with his parents, ten brothers and four sisters, started with ox teams to cross the plains to Oregon, some of the time being with a large train of emigrants, but most of the distance being accomplished alone, and after six months of continuous travel they arrived in Yamhill county, this state, where his father purchased land on Deer creek, and he now resides. Our subject remained under the parental roof until the age of 21 years. He then engaged in farming on his own account in Yamhill county until 1869, when he came to Douglas county and purchased his present place of 650 acres, seven miles south of Roseburg, and is now engaged in general farming and stock raising. A view of his residence will be found in this history. Mr. Agee is married and has an interesting family of ten children, viz: Oscar, Rolland, Norman, Miles, Minnie, Millie, May, Asher, Rosie and Frederick. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
