JACOB ALLEN GULLIFORD

	During his long residence of over forty-two years in Wasco county, Jacob A.
Gulliford has become widely known as farmer and stock raiser, owning at one time
eight hundred and forty acres. He was born in Sangamon county, near the city of
Springfield, Illinois, in September, 1834, and is a son of William and Eliza
(Shoup) Gulliford, who crossed the plains in 1852 and settled in Lane county,
Oregon, there securing a tract of land, which the father continued to operate
for the remainder of his life.
	Jacob Allen Gulliford was educated in the common schools of his native
county.  In 1859 he became connected with stock raising in Klickitat county,
Washington, where he remained for five years. In 1867 he located near
Prineville, Oregon, and there engaged In farming and stock raising until 1878,
when he settled on the place where Dufur, Wasco county, now stands, the town at
that time not having been established.  Here he resumed his farming operations,
and in time he added to his holdings, finally accumulating eight hundred and
forty acres. He built a home for his family in Dufur.
	Mr. Gulliford has devoted all of his active life to farming and stock
raising, except a period of a few years given over to the operation of a flour
mill which he purchased at Boyd. Later he disposed of much of his land and
retired to enjoy a well earned rest, to which his long years of activity justly
entitled him. Five hundred acres of the great apple orchard operated by the
Dufur Fruit Company, are a part of his holdings. Mr. Gulliford was an Indian
fighter and served gallantly in the Rogue River war under Captain Blakeley, who
visited him at Dufur when the Captain had passed the century mark. One of Mr.
Gulliford's proudest memories is that he voted for Abraham Lincoln for
president.
	In 1872 Mr. Gulliford was married to Miss Martha Evanderpool, who was
brought to Oregon from Missouri in 1852, being then a mere infant, her parents
making the journey across the plains by ox teams. Mr. and Mrs. Gulliford became
the parents of two children, namely: William C. Gulliford became a progressive
business man of Portland, and died in January, 1919, at that time being
president of the Western Supply Company of that city. His wife had died two days
before his death, leaving one child, Veona Constance, who has been legally
adopted by her grandparents. Their only daughter died at the age of eight years.
	Mr. Gulliford has been for several years a member of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, while his wife is a member of the Rebekahs, in which order she
has filled all the chairs, and she is also a member of the Eastern Star, in
which she has twice held the office of noble grand. Mr. and Mrs. Gulliford are
earnest members of the Christian church, in all the good works of which they
take a warm interest.  They were largely instrumental in the building of the
Eugene Bible University, one of the best theological universities in the west.
Gulliford Hall, a school for girls at Eugene, is another monument to the
philanthropy of this model couple.
