T. F. BUCHANAN 

     is to be numbered with Crook county's substantial stock men and farmers. He
resides two and one-half miles northwest from Grizzly, where he owns three
hundred and sixty acres of land. His stock consists mostly of cattle.
     T. F. Buchanan was born in Henry county, Missouri, on October 5, 1856, the
son of Elja Buchanan, a veteran of the Black Hawk War. In his native state our
subject was educated and reared. When eighteen years of age, being possessed of
an adventurous spirit, he determined to try the west and accordingly journeyed
to California. He did fanning and worked for wages for about six years. Then, it
being 1880, he came to Grant county, Oregon, and engaged in freighting from The
Dalles to Canyon City.  Seven years were occupied at that arduous labor and then
he came to Crook county.  He secured a place near Prineville and there was
engaged in farming until 1898, when he came to his present location and secured
the estate mentioned above.  Mr. Buchanan has been favored with good success and
is one of the substantial men of this part of the county.
     In 1890, Mr. Buchanan married Miss Hale and to them one child has been
born, Nora. Mr. Buchanan is a member of the well known and prominent Buchanan
family, one of whom was president of the United States in the fifties. Many
members of the family have been distinguished people and are prominent in the
professions.
