     Born in Vermont, on August 19, 1831.  When quite young his parents took him
to Knox county, Illinois, where he was reared on a farm and educated in the
public schools.  In the spring of 1852 he crossed the plains to Oregon, and
settled at that time in Jackson county.  In the fall of 1858 he purchased his
present farm and took up his residence thereon, where he has continuously lived
to the present time.  He went to Illinois on a visit via the ocean route in
1866, returning the same year overland with a team.  He married Mahala McDaniel
on May 3, 1859.  She died on September 19, 1861.  The maiden name of his present
wife was Jessie Bledsoe, to whom he was married in 1874.  One child by his first
wife, whose name is Frank.  Two children by his second marriage, Laura and
