STEPHEN HERLIHY

     Resides at Naylox, which is eleven miles north from Klamath Falls on the
east bank of Klamath Lake.  He was born on October 16, 1870 in the county of
Victoria, province of Ontario, Canada.  His father, Jeremiah Herlihy, was born
in Canada and came of Irish parents.  Later in life he moved to Rochester, New
York, and there remained until his death.  He married Miss Katherine O'Shea, a
native of Canada.  Her parents were born in Ireland.  At the age of seventeen
our subject left home and came to North Dakota.  There he worked some in
handling horses and finally went to Itasca county, Minnesota and entered a
homestead in the timber.  Being an expert hand in handling a threshing machine,
he used to go each year to the wheat districts where he received seven dollars
per day with the threshing crew.  After a while, he took a stone and timber
claim adjoining his homestead which gave him a full section of fine timber land.
After the election of McKinley in 1896, owning to the protective tariff on
lumber, Mr. Herlihy sold it at a very fine price, reserving the land for
himself, which he still owns.  He had endured great hardships and did much
arduous labor but reaped a good reward for it all.  Then he took a trip to
Rochester, New York to see his people and in 1900, he determined to see the
Pacific coast.  He purchased a ticket to Seattle but stopped over in Spokane
where he fell in with a party who told him about Klamath county.  Becoming
greatly interested, he traveled thither and after viewing the country over
thoroughly, he purchased his present place.  This was known as the Captain Frie
station as that gentleman had built a toll road in early days and kept here a
toll gate.  It was a very famous camping place for the Indians in early days and
by them was called Naylox, which means daylight.  Mr. Herlihy owns a half
section of fine meadow land, a large two-story house and considerable stock.  He
has two large barns and plenty of other outbuildings and all other improvements
needed and in addition to his general farm and stock raising, keeps a hotel and
a feed stable.  Being on the main traveled road, he keeps a large number of
guests.  Mr. Herlihy is so well pleased with this country that he is determined
to make this his permanent home.
     On May 24, 1903, occurred the marriage of Mr. Herlihy and Miss Elanore
Garlarneau, who was born in Portland.  Her father, Charles Garlarneau, was born
in Canada and came to Oregon thirty-five years ago.  He has been a resident of
Klamath county for twenty years.  He married Eliza Ryan, a native of Ireland.
Mrs. Herlihy graduated from the state normal school at Ashland and taught for
some time in Jackson county, before her marriage.  Mr. Herlihy started in life a
poor boy and everything he possesses has been won by hard labor and wise
management and it is very gratifying to know that from his modest start, he has
won his way to competence and wealth.  He is one of the substantial men of the
county and is considered a leading citizen.
