JOHN M. HULERY

     Born in Ohio in 1827; moved to Carroll County, Indiana, and became a
cooper.  Married Miss Martha Davidson, by whom he had nine children -- Mary,
John W., Ida, George W., Frank, Grant, Jessie, Minnie, and Walter.  Brought his
family overland to Oregon via "Meek's Cut-off," Mr. H. being the first immigrant
to cross the Cascades by the route they took.  Their experience was dreadful to
a high degree, and hunger and thirst prevailed.  He located in Lane County, but
afterwards removed to Portland.  Resides now at McMinnville.  Was county
commissioner in 1872.  Mrs. Hulery died about 1872.
