HENRY INGALLS

	who lives in Spring Valley, five and a half miles south-west of Waitsburg,
was born in Ohio, March 29 1826.  The early history of his father's family is
given in connection with the biographies of T.  P.  Ingalls and his sister,
Roxie Keiser, in this book; and the events of his early life will be passed
without farther mention, than to note the fact that it was, like that of many
other youths of our land, made tip of the incidental occurrences common to the
farmer's lad.  On the first of January, 1849, he was married to Sarah J.
Brents, of Pile county, Illinois, who was the sister of the present Delegate in
Congress from Washington Territory.  That year the newly married couple crossed
the plains to Oregon, and settled on a farm in Clackamas county, where Mrs.
Ingalls died, leaving three children, named Roxie, now deceased, William A., and
Willis H. Mr. Ingalls was again married, this time to Mrs. Sarah Roop, of
Clackamas county.  Oregon, who died, leaving one child, named George, by a
former marriage.
	The present wife of Mr. Ingalls, whose maiden name was Margaret E.  Kramer,
was married to him January 2, 1865.  She was the widow at that time of Calvin L.
Murphy, and the mother of five children, named Florence E., Fannie, Horace J.,
Eva J., and Arthur C., of whom all are now living, except Fannie and Eva.  In
1869, Mr. Ingalls left Oregon, and became a resident of Walla Walla county, and
of Spring valley where he now lives.  His land property consists of one 400 acre
farm, one 200 acre farm, and 40 acres of timber in the Blue mountains.  Nearly
all of his two ranches is under cultivation and both are enclosed.  A view of
the home on the 400 acre farm accompanies this work, and it would be useless to
attempt a description of that which the reader can so easily see.  The children
of Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls are Otis D., and Ira L.
