born on a farm in Yamhill County. They had five children, three daughters and two sons. She died in 1923 and he died in Portland on April IS, 1927, at the age of 74. He was buried in the Riverview Cemetery. A few pages from Cathlamet on the Columbia have been printed in the chapter "Squaw Wives and Squaw Men". Here will be added, instead of another selection from that book, a portion of a delightful essay that appeared in the Oregonian for November 1 1, 1900, on the recreations of pioneer boys in Portland. Pioneer Pastimes Portland, in 1859, '61 and '62, was becoming a city. . . . Fishing and hunting were the principal amusements of the most active boys of the day. ... I do not thing that there is a boy who was then in Portland of fishing age who did not fish the stream at one time or another. In the woods, which then extended from Seventh or Eighth Streets to the hills, we hunted squirrels and even grouse and pheasants with bows and arrows, and in the little streams we built dams and float- ed miniature navies. . . . The incidents of one trip represent fairly the incidents of all, and in one of the earliest I remember the party started from the White place with a heavy wagon, two horses and a motley array of riding ponies. There was only one man in the party, and he knew nothing of hunting. The boys were six or eight in number, and could not have averaged more than from 12 to 15 years old. Striking off to the southwest from Oregon City, we sampled every orchard and were hospitably received at every farmhouse on the way, passed beyond the settlements and came to Wilhoit Springs, then in their natural condition, where we camped. Hearing of a deer lick farther on, six of us decided to watch by it during the night. After a hard tramp over a blind trail, we came at dark to a spring in the woods which was evidently much used by game. Deer trails were worn to it in every direction through the salal brush.
