Claude Polly, who for years managed the Broughton National Bank of Dayton, compiled some history of banking. On May 8, 1909, the Columbia Chronicle published this story. "The final organimtion of the Broughton National Bank was completed Thursday afternoon when the stockholders met at the office of C.J. Broughton. This institution has been organi7.ed with a capital stock of $50,000 and the organi7.ers are among the most prominent and successful businessmen in eastern Washington. In June, 1909, the bank opened. Nine deposits were made on the first day and they totaled $7,784.02. The first loan was made June 17, 1909 to I. McGee for $125. C. J. Broughton was president; J. L. Dumas, vice president; A. P. Cahill, cashier and S. Z. Varnes, assistant chashier. Stock certificates were held by Mrs. B. Brown, C. J. Broughton, Jr., Harriet Bishop, Broughton estate, Dave Barclay, A. E.

COVELLO A PIONEER REMEMBERS 1975

C. J. Broughton left Maryland in 1872 when he was seventeen. His uncle Charles (Buck), was operating a pack train into the mines on Cedar Creek near Superior, Montana. A neighbor lad Joe Fontaine had come out to work for the company two years before. Buck urged C.J. to come out too and when he did, put him to work cooking for the pack train for $40.00 a month. After two years on the trail the Company made him manager of the store at Forrest City. In those days supply headquarters kept pace with mining activities and moved from place to place as the miners moved. On a trip to Walla Walla, C.J. stopped into visit with Mr. Schwabacker who told him McDonald of Dayton needed a clerk in their mercantile store there. McDonald and Schwabacker had stores in Colfax and what is now Gardners in Walla Walla, also. Mr. Broughton worked for McDonald ten years and then bought bis half interest in 1887. Besides the activities of the store the partnership had acquired several thousand acres of land, warehouses, livestock and bought large quantities of grain for resale during the thirteen years the partnership operated. C. J. gave a mortgage on 4000 acres of land to swing the deal and became sole owner. He sold the mercantile stock in 1903 but retained the building. He married Ina McCleary in 1890. She said she met C. J. when she went into the store to buy a wash tub. The Broughtons raised nine children and two died in infancy. Mary Kleinstuck, Kalama:roo, Mich.; Charles, Dayton; Harriet Bishop, Portland; Van, San Rafael, California; Helen Geiser, Frances, Milhaus; Ruth McGucken; (the last three deceased); James A., Dayton, and Elimbeth Yengling, Walla Walla. Mr. Broughton launched the Broughton National Bank in 1909. Alp Cahill was manager until Caude Polly took over in 1924. As the Broughton - Schwabacker partnership had owned stock in the Columbia National Bank when Mr. Broughton became owner, the stock was retained and represented on the Columbia Board by the Broughton family several years. Charles Broughton took over management of the estate in 1922 when bis fater died. He had graduated from W.S.C. in 1919 after two years in the service during World War I. Few graduates ever finished college with a greater love for their hobby than did Charles. In 1923 he bought his first Shorthorn breed stock, the best to be had and for twenty-tjive years his position in the show rings proved bis good judgement. He was elected and served a year as President of the American Shorthorn Breeders Association. He married lras Troy of Olympia in 1920 and they raised three children. The oldest, Charles Jr. is assistant manager of the Broughton Land Company which has been kept intact. He and Darlene, his wife, have three children, Charles IV, Christine and David. Joan (Pratt) who lives in Los Angeles and Martha (Colburn) deceased, are the others. James A., the only other of the C.J. family still living in Dayton and his wife Abby raised three children, William, Dayton, Rebecca (Wood) Baker, Oregon and James Jr. whose family was wiped out in a plane crash. Tun is manager of the vast Broughton holdings. I was 811187.ed to find out (from the government land register) that C.J. homesteaded. So was Charles. He thinks there is an error as he had never heard about it until I mentioned it At any rate the Broughton family has always been the largest land owner in the Covello area.

INTRODUCTION TO THE DIARY OF C. F. BUCK UMATILLA, OREGON, 186G

Charles Fitzland Buck and his twin brother Francis H. were born February 23, 1835, in Pittsford, Vermont. Their parents were Addison Buck, merchant, and his first wife, Amanda H. Hayward. Their siblings were Harriet, who married Elijah Stephen Broughton; Charles A.; Julius Horton; and Sarah Elizabeth, who married John A. Dennett. The Bucks were descended from the Buck family of Wethersfield and New Milford, Connecticut. Isaac Buck, the grandfather of Addison, served in the Colonial and Revolutionary wars and died on the battlefield at Quebec.

C. F. Buck came west via the Isthmus of Panama in 1860. He remained in California for two years before coming to the Walla Walla valley. His principal occupation was that of packer. In the year 1866 he was operating a pack-train on the Oregon Trail from Umatilla, Oregon, to Boise, Idaho. His train consisted of 65 head of mules. At that time merchandise was transported by boat from Portland to Umatilla and distributed to the interior by pack animals.

Gold was discovered at Cedar Creek, Montana, in the fall of 1869. By the spring of 1871 the center of activity had pushed up the creek and the town of Forest City was built at the head of the canyon in the mountains near the present town of Superior, Montana. At that time Buck and a partner, Albert Cave, owned and operated a store in Forest City. Cave would transport supplies from Fort Benton, Montana, at the eastern end of the Mullan road and Buck would transport supplies from Umatilla. By this time - Buck's pack-string had increased to 125 head of horses and mules. His route was up the Walla Walla River to the Touchet River, to Prescott, and on up the Whetstone and over to the crossing .of the Snake River at Lyons Ferry. This was the western end of the Mullan road.

In 1872 Buck travelled to Somerset County, Maryland, and returned to the west with his nephew, Charles Julius Broughton. Charles, the son of Elijah S. and Harriet Buck Broughton was then 17 years old. Broughton•s first two years in the west were spent on the road between Wallula and Missoula riding the bell mare and cooking for the packers, most of whom were Mexican. His salary was forty dollars per month. Later Broughton was placed in charge of Buck and Cave's store in Forest City and was there for several years.

In 1873 Buck bought a ranch near Prescott, Washington. (Note: There is a Buck's addition to the town.] During the next ten years he accumulated a fortune of over $60,000, but lost it all through loans to friend.s during hard times in 1884.

Broughton planned to visit his family in Maryland in 1878, but he only got. as far as Walla Walla, wher~ Cave had asked him to visit Sig Schwabacher. 'rhe Schwabacher Brothers of San Francisco C. F. BUCK - DIARY Page 2

operated stores in Walla Walla, Dayton and Colfax. The Dayton store, operated as McDonald and Schwabacher needed a clerk, so Broughton sold his horse and moved to Dayton to be a clerk at McDonald and Schwab~cher's store. Eventually he bought out the owners and later he chartered the Broughton National Bank and became a large landowner in . Columbia County. In 1890 he married Ina Zilla McCleary, daughter of Mary Graham and James J. McCleary. The Broughtons had eleven children, nine of which grew to adulthood. C. J. Broughton died in 1920 and his wife died in 1963.

Buck never married. In 1902 he -came to Dayton to manage one of Broughton 's ranches on the Patit. He left Dayton in the fall of 1907 to spend the winter in California with Tom Ronan, a bachelor friend of long standing. [Note: Ronan Station, a siding on the Union Pacific, on Johnson Hollow was named after Tom Ronan. J At that time Ronan owned the race track at Pleasanton, California, and the two elderly men lived in a box stall at the track. Because of ill health Buck was unable to return to Dayton in the spring and was confined in a sanitorium. He died in Pleasanton the week of September 5, 1908. His nephew Charles J. Broughton was his only surviving relative in the west.

The diary of C. F. Buck is in the posession of the Broughton family of Dayton, Columbia Co., Washington. ·

She sat erect and with much dig. nity. But her dignity in no- way impairs her sense of humor and the sometimes seriousness of her thoughts does not dull the spark­ le that lingers in her eyes to this day. Monday Mrs. Broughton's sev­ eral daughters held an open house for her in t he family home, a land mark in Dayton, One of the girls remarked, "The an­ nouncement should have said that men were also invited." Mrs. Broughton didn't think the an­ , nouncement needed to be more specific. Her reply \Vas "Well, it said 'friends' and I hope I still have some gentlemen friends." That is typical of the woman. She's living in today. She keeps a breast of the times; a nd has a keen interest in political aff~irs, though she takes no active part. In the last nu'mber of years Mrs. Broughton has done some traveling about the·country-,-she has to travel a lot ·to visit the homes of her· children, for they are widely scattered over the United States.

Charles J. Broughton, a capitalist of Dayton, was born in Maryland, Sep­ tember 7, 1854, a son of Elijah S. and Harriett A. (Buck) Broughton, the former a native of Maryland, while the latter was born in Vermont. Both passed away, however, in the state of Maryland. In their family were four children, of whom three are yet living. Charles J. Broughton was reared and educated in the state of his nativity and started out in life on his own account when a youth of seventeen years. He made his way westward to the Pacific coast and acted as cook for a pack train for six months, working at a salary of forty dollars per month. He after­ ward became clerk in a store and was thus engaged for three years. In 1877 he purchased a pony and thus came to Walla Walla. After reaching his des­ tination he obtained a position at Dayton in the employ of Alexander McDonald, who was proprietor of a general store and with whom he remained for ten years. On the expiration of that period he purchased a half interest in the business, which he continued to carry on and develop for thirteen years, the firm being known during that period as Fallbacher & Broughton. At the end of that time he purchased the interest of his partner in the business and thus became sole owner. He carried on · the store for five years longer and then sold the stock but is still owner of the store building. As the years have passed and he has prospered in his undertakings he has added to his holdings from time to time and he now owns over eight thousand acres of wheat land in the northwest. He is also the president of the Broughton Bank of Dayton, which was organized in 1909. In 1890 Mr. Broughton was un,ited in marriage to Miss Ina McCleary and to them have been born eleven children: Mary, who is a graduate of Smith Col­ lege of Massachusetts; Charles; Hattie, who is now in college in Massachusetts; E. Van, a high schQol pupil; Helen, also attending high school; Francis; Ruth; James; Elizabeth; and two who have passed away. Mrs. Broughton is a mem- ber of the Congregational church. Mr. Broughton is a republican in his political views and for one term served as county treasurer but has never been ambitious to hold office, pref erring to concentrate his efforts and attention upon his busi­ ness affairs, which have been wisely conducted and have brought to him a sub­ stantial measure of success. His plans have always been carefully formulated and promptly executed, and his sound judgment has bee·n manifest in his judicious investments, which have made him one of the capitalists of his section of the state. Fraternally he is identified with the Masons, belonging to the blue lodge and also to the commandery at \Valla Wa11a, in which he has filled some of the chairs. . ~

ANONYMOUS COURTHOUSE BENEFACTOR FINALLY REVEALED HARRIET BROUGHTON BISHOP DONATED $75900 10 COURTHOUSE RESTORATION

The mystery is solved. And like all good mysteries, the answer was right under our noses the whole time. The Columbia County Courthouse Restoration recently announced that the late Harriet Broughton Bishop was the anonymour donor of the $75,000 matching gift to the project. Mrs. Bishop specified that the gift was to be given in memory of her parents, Charles Julius Broughton and Ina McCleary Broughton. Although Mrs. Bishop died before the fundraising was complete, her son c.M. Bishop fithfully followed through on his mother's gift. "W~ are happy to honor (Mrs. Bishop's) wishes that the re­ stored cupola of the courthouse be dedicated in (Her parent's) memory," said Ginny Butler, restoration committee member. "The gift was very much appreciated not only for the generosity of the amount, but for the stimulation of the other gifts, said Butler. Mrs. Bishop stipulated that she would match 50 cents to the dollar of $150,000 in gifts from private donor. Ultimately, the restoration committee raised $255,684 in private donations. They credit Mrs. Bishop's anonymous matching fund for the incentive that hooked other donors. To date, the fund has recieved $330,684 from private scources, $61,000 from foundations and corporations, $140,000 from the federal government, $2000,000 from Columbia County and $600,000 from Washington shte, totaling $1,331,684 total dollars for courthouse project.

The ~tauchest supporters of good works always seem to come ~- through for the worthwhile projects. And that is the case with the Harriet Broughton Bishop and her $75,000 matching gift to the courthouse restoration project. (Editor's note; Mrs. Bishop was hometown-proud, with rural roots and heart that stayed with her through her life. The follow­ ing autobiographical material on Mrs. Bishop was gleaned from the Annie Wright School alumnae magazine, serving the school from which Harriet graduated. The editor, Colleen Cavanaugh-Simp, kindly allowed the Chronicle to reprint portions of her story.1 Harriet was born in 1898 iD Dayton, the daughter of Charles· J. and Ina z. Broughton. Her father was a pioneer landnner and banker who came west from Maryland. She attended public schools in Dayton until her junior year in high school when she went to Annie Wright School in Tacoma. Her years at Annie Wright had a tremendous impact on her. In 1984 she pledged $50,000 to create the "Harriet Broughton Bishop Scholarship in Honor of Adelaide Preston," a headmistress at Annie Wright of whom Harriet was fond. Harriet's rural background provided the terms under which the scholarship was based. 'fhe aaards are granted to resident students who come from rural communities in Washington, Oregon or Idaho and who might otherwise be unable to attend Am.de Wright School. After graduation, Harriet attended Smith College. "The train ride to Boston took five days, but mom and her friends from the Pacific Northwest who rode the train with her had a marvelous time,"said Clarence 11Mort" Bishop, Harriet's son, who is the current President of Pendleton Woolen Mills. Harriet's other son, Broughton "Brot" Bishop is the Chairman of the Board at Pendleton. Before Harriet could graduate from Smith, her father died so she came back home and took her finals at Whitman College. Because of her strong business se:m.s and her love for Southeastern Washington, Harriet stayed in Dayton and assumed many of the family responsil­ ilities. Her brother Charles actually managed the farm and land company, but Harriet was his confidant. She knew the business inside and out and was shrewd and hard­ working. .:Jf

According to her friends and family, Harriet's upbringing in Columbia County contributed to her exuberant personality. Mort .~ s.lid, "The flavors of the area were very much a part of her person­ ality." Friends desceibe her as a fiercely loyal, hard-working, devoted, a born leader and strong willed. Mort said, "To my mother, there was always a right way and a wrong way to do thins. She adhered to her principles and truly believed in whatever she did." In 1922, Harriet married Clarence Bishop, the founder and lifetime President of Pendleton Woolen Mills. Pat Mitchell, a good friend of Harriet's said, "These were several years difference in their ages but Harriet told me that it worked out beautifully because she was old for her age and he was young for his age. When Harriet and Clarence were married, Pendleton's reputation was growing steadily throughout the nation. Although Harriet never held a position in the company, she was a full partner with her husband in every sense of the word. Mike-Haggerty, a 60-year employee and close friend of the Bishops, said, "Harriet was Clarence's closest business partner. He looked to her for advice ~ on certain matters because of her keen business sense. She had a good indoctrination on financial matters by her father so was a great help to her husband." Harriet was also extremely involved in her own business affairs and investments, in additon to taking an active role in the community. She served as a Director of the Robert E. Lee Memorial Association, McLoughlin Memorial Association, Mann Home, Portland Fruit and Flower Day Nursery and the Broughton National Bank. Mrs. Bishop also took a real interest in her hometown and in the Broughton properties. She always had family in and around Dayton and maintaining her family ties was very important to her. She came to Dayton every Christmas and one friend remembers Mr. Bishop saying,"! didn't know Christmas until I spent it in Dayton with Harriet. 11 Harriet developed a camp south of Dayton were her family convened. Mort slid, "Mother introducted my brother and me to Columbia County through the camp and the family properties. She ~ loved Columbia County and trough her enthusiasm we all developed a deep appreciation for that part of the country." #-••

Mrs. Bishop's interest went deeper than meeely visiting home. ~ She and her sister, Mary, donated money to Dayton's historical depot and donated books to the Dayton Memorial Library. At the age of 90, Harriet Broughton Bishop died on May 6, 1988.
