THOMAS J. SINGLETON

     This old and well known resident of Roseburg, and Douglas county, was born
in Lincoln county, Kentucky, April 30, 1835.  When he was but four years of age
his parents moved to Missouri, and first settled in Sheridan county, and a few
years later located in Linn county, where they engaged in farming until the
spring of 1853, when he with his parents and brothers started across the plains
to Oregon.  Arriving in this state in October, he first settled in Marion
county, near Salem, for one year.  In the spring of 1854 they came to Douglas
county and located on a farm on Oak creek.  Mr. Singleton lived with his parents
on the farm until April 21, 1858, when he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah
E. Taylor, of Marion county, and began farming for himself, on the place he now
owns on Deer creek, adjoining the old homestead, the latter which he now also
possesses.  Here he followed farming and stock raising until 1883, when on the
death of his wife he moved his home into Roseburg where he now resides with his
interesting family of seven children, viz:  Mary V., now the wife of S. I.
Thornton, Thomas E., Ada M., William L, Emma E., Walter and Minnie E.
