MARK E. MUSGRAVE

     is a fanner residing one and one-half miles south from Lakeview, Oregon,
the Lakeview hot springs being on his farm. The spring's mentioned have become a
 well-known health resort of Lake county, and since coming, into possession of
them. Mr. Musgrave has spared neither money nor pains in placing them in
condition to invite tourists and health seekers. The water of the spring's
contains sulphur, iron, borax and magnesia in considerable quantity and are at
one hundred and seventy degrees in temperature. Mr. Musgrave has erected a
building over them which building contains a swimming bath twenty-two by
fifty-two by seven feet in dimensions. The waters have attained a wide
reputation for their curative properties, and Lakeview Hot Springs are rapidly
becoming one of the leading resorts in southern Oregon.   
     Mark E. Musgrave was born June 23, 1878, in Siskiyou county, California,
the son of Mark and Lorinda (Burr) Musgrave, the former a native of Devonshire,
England, and the latter, of Ohio. The father, upon coming to the United States,
settled in South Carolina, and in 1856 he crossed the plains to Yreka,
California, where he engaged in mining. He is now living in San Jose. The
mother, also living at San Jose, is the granddaughter of a cousin of Aaron Burr,
of colonial fame.
     Our subject was reared in a mining camp in Siskiyou county until ten years
of age, when he left home and went to work on a ranch, preferring ranch life to
that in a mining camp.  He soon went to San Jose, where he worked and attended
school for a time, and later went to San Francisco, and there learned the
wire-worker's trade.  Later he learned to he a cook, and traveled extensively
over the state working at the latter trade. He made several short voyages abroad
coastwise steamers during his travels in California, and in 1897 he enlisted in
the navy as a landsman aboard the United States coast defense monitor Monadnock,
and while aboard that vessel he became familiar with all the ports along the
Pacific coast-from Mexico to British Columbia. During the war with Spain Mr.
Musgrave was stationed on different vessels, the greater part of which time he
was either first or second cook. He was aboard the "Mohegan" when she made a
flying trip from Mare's Island with ammunition for Dewey's fleet before the
battle of Manila. The Mohegan was met at Honolulu by the Baltimore which took
the cargo of ammunition to Dewey, who was then stationed at Hong Kong. Mr.
Musgrave was one of the crew of the Mohegan which replaced the Hawaiian flag
with that of the United States on August 12, 1898. He was also at Hilo, Hawaii,
at the time of the recent great earthquake. On May 8, 1900, he was discharged
from service.  During his time of enlistment he had traveled pretty generally
over the entire world and saw more sights than it is commonly given any one man
to see.
     Mr. Musgrave while in the navy, always received a good salary, and being
saving with his money, he was enabled to start into business upon his discharge.
He came to Lakeview in 1901 and engaged first as cook in the Lakeview hotel, but
purchased his present home in May, 1902, and has resided here since that then.
He has two hundred and ten acres of land, the major portion of which is first
class hay and grain land, and well improved.
     On March 16, 1902, Mr. Musgrave was married to Rose E. Rehart, a native of
Modoc county, California. Her parents arc Charles A. and Martha Rehart, sketches
of whose lives appear elsewhere in this volume.
     To Mr. arid Mrs. Musgrave has been born one child, who is christened
Charles Paul.
