BARCLAY, Maria April 5, 1890; Oregonian; p 9 Mrs. Maria Barclay - Oregon City, April 4 "Brief Biographical Sketch of One of the Noted Pioneer Women of Oregon"

Maria Barclay, who died April 2, 1890, in this city, was the wife of Dr. Forbes Barclay, one of the earliest pioneers of this Northwest territory. She was associated with and helped to make the history of the territory which was the adopted home of her parents when she was but a child. She was the daughter of Peter and Catharine Pambrun and was born in British Columbia in 1826. Her father was a lieutenant in the Canadian army in 1812 and was afterwards chief factor in the Hudson Bay Company's employ. In 1831, he, with his family, came to Oregon and directly afterwards proceeded to Fort Walla Walla, of which post he continued in charge till 1841, when he was killed by a fall, and the family moved to Vancouver. During her life at fort Walla Walla she was intimately acquainted with all the missionaries of every denomination that visited this coast, as they were all entertained by her father.

The following year his daughter, then not yet 16 years of age, was married to Doctor Forbes Barclay, who was afterward prominently identified with the history of Oregon City and the territory and state of Oregon. Mrs. Barclay resided at Vancouver with her husband till 1850, when they moved to Oregon City. This city has been her home ever since. In 1873 she was called to follow her husband to the grave, where beside him on Sunday next, her form too will be laid to rest by loving friends.

Mrs. Barclay was a woman of strong constitution and was in good health up to a few weeks previous to her death, when she was attacked with a severe cold from which she suffered greatly. A few days before her death she was seized with a mild attack of codema of the larynx, but no alarm was felt till a few hours prior to her death, when the symptoms grew rapidly alarming, and at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning she died from strangulation. She was the mother of seven children, five of whom are living to mourn her loss. They are Peter, of San Francisco, Alexander, Katie and Mrs. Hattie Pratt, at home; and Charles at sea. Two, John and Edward are deceased. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Colonel McCraken, of Portland, and Mrs. L. W. Herger, of Chehalem, Washington, and four brothers in Eastern Oregon and Montana.

Mrs. Barclay was a woman of strong will and sterling integrity, accompanied with a kind disposition and a loving heart. Associated intimately with the people who lived the history of Oregon as a territory and a young state, and possessed of a wonderful memory stored with the facts and associations of pioneer life, she could talk by the hour of those early times. Many facts of interest connected with the early pioneer history are now lost, because they were only chronicled on memory's wall by a few, and she the last of the few. Among the earliest pioneers, she labored zealously, doing so far as she was able the part allotted her in life. One by one she saw her companions pass to the great unknown, till of the associates of those early pioneer days, when pioneer life meant so much trouble and so little reward, not one remains to minister to her in death, as she had so often done for many who have preceded her. She leaves none but friends, who will long remember her many excellent qualities and kind acts.

Her father, a native of the Shetland islands, entered the service of the Hudson's Bay company on July 4, 1839, and sailed for Fort Vancouver, where he remained until 1850. In 1842 he married Maria Pambrun, whose father, Pierre Pambrun, had charge of Fort Walla Walla. Dr. McLoughlin, Dugald McTavish, David McLaughlin and Adolph Lee Lewis were witnesses at the wedding of Miss Barclay's parents. In a picturesque spot overlooking the Willamette river at Oregon City, Miss Barclay's father selected the site for the mansion which he built in 1850 at a cost of $17,000. It was in that house that Andrina Catherine (Katie) Barclay was born on January 26, 1852. She spent her entire lifetime, with the exception of a few trips into California and to other places of interest, within that house, which has housed five generations of Barclays.

Miss Barclay was the last of seven children, John James, Peter, Alexander Forbes, Harriet Maria (Pratt), William Charles and Edmond.

Miss Barclay was graduated from the Oregon City seminary on June 28, 1870.

Miss Barclay's only survivors are a nephew, Forbes Barclay Pratt of Portland; three nieces, Mrs. J. Nelson Wisner (Hattie Mary Pratt) of Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mrs. Jack Miles (Dolly Pratt) of Bonneville, and Miss Cis Barclay Pratt of Oregon City, who has been her companion in her last years.

COCHRAN, Fannie L. (Kelly) June 16, 1909; Oregonian, p 6 "Pioneer Laid To Rest" Oregon City, Or., June 15

The funeral services following the death of Mrs. Fannie L. Cochran, who died at her home in this city on Saturday evening, were held this afternoon at St. Paul's Church, Rev. T. F. Bowen officiating, assisted by Rev. R. K. Hammond. A large congregation assembled to honor the memory of their deceased friend, and the unusual quantity of beautiful floral offerings were a silent manifestation of the high place Mrs. Cochran occupied in the esteem of her neighbors.

Mrs. Cochran was the widow of the late Hiram J. Cochran, some time Mayor of Oregon City. Seven daughters were born to them, five of whom survive, Mrs. J. B. Robinson, of Chico, Cal.; Mrs. J. P. Keating, of Portland; Misses Harriet, Louise and Nan Cochran, of this city. She leaves four sisters, Mrs. J. D. Biles, Mrs. M. K. West, Mrs. T. M. K. Smith and Miss Eleanor Kelly, all of Portland.

Fannie L. Cochran was born at St. Thomas, Can., 69 years ago. When a girl of 12 she crossed the Isthmus of Panama with her father, the late Captain William Kelly, of the United States Army, who was stationed at Vancouver, Wash. There she grew to womanhood. In those early days hospitals and other provisions for caring for the poor and the sick were scarce and to meet a pressing need Mrs. Cochran, with a number of other young girls, organized a society known as the "Ladies of charity," and of which she, at the age of 18, was chosen president. A small building was secured, which served as a hospital of six beds, and her the sick and the injured were nursed back to health, or tenderly cared for till death removed them beyond the reach of human help.

The work grew to such an extent that the resources of the "Ladies of Charity" were shortly overtaxed, and they appealed for assistance to the Rev. Bishop Blanchet, the head of the Roman Catholic missions of the Northwest, and in response six Sisters of Charity, with Mother Joseph as Sister Superior, journeyed west from Canada to assume charge of the hospital work. Ultimately a larger building and a new location were needed. These were found in Portland, and St. Vincent's Hospital, with its splendid equipment, ministering to thousands of sick and unfortunate, stands as a fitting memorial to the devotion of Mrs. Cochran and her companions.

When the Civil War broke out Mrs. Cochran was again ready to take up her work for others by supplying the soldiers on the battlefield with medicines and other necessities, and was president of the ladies' Sanitary Society of Vancouver, an organization well known for its philanthropic work.

At the breaking out of the Spanish-American War she drafted the constitution and bylaws of the society, known as the Woman's Emergency Corps.

DIMICK, George W. July 1, 1918; Oregonian, p 7 (photo) "George W. Dimick Dies" Oregon City, Or., June 30

George W. Dimick, father of Senator Walter A. Dimick, and uncle of Judge Grant B. Dimick, died early today at his home, near Oregon City, at the age of 81 years.

Mr. Dimick was a pioneer farmer of the Willamette Valley and played an important part in developing the agricultural and livestock industries of this section for the last 60 years. He came to Oregon in 1847 and engaged in farming. For a great many years Mr. Dimick owned a grain and livestock farm of more than 1000 acres near Hubbard. A few years ago he retired from extensive farming and located near Oregon City.

Mr. Dimick was an active temperance and prohibition worker and a member of the Methodist Church for more than 60 years. He was one of the first farmers to join the Oregon State Grange, and retained his membership until his death.

Mr. Dimick was born near Springfield, Ill., April 28, 1837. Ten years later his parents crossed the plains to Oregon by ox team and settled on the old Dimick donation land claim, near Hubbard. This claim, with considerable land acquired from time to time, was his home for 60 years.

The funeral will be held at the family home at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The remains will be taken to Hubbard for burial. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Addie Dimick, and 10 children: George D., of Salem; John A., of Hubbard; Lottie M., and Walter A., of Oregon City; Bud, of Portland; Orrin, of Portland; Ray, of Fort Canby, and Ada, Harold and Raymond, of Woodburn.

DIMICK, John R. May 23, 1912; Oregonian, p 6 "Death in Flames John Dimick's Lot" Oregon City, Or., May 22

John R. Dimick, brother of Grant B. Dimick, and one of the best known lawyers and farmers in the state, was burned to death this morning at his home near Aurora.

It is supposed that Mr. Dimick found his home ablaze upon returning from a visit to a neighbor, and perished while trying to same his effects. He and Miss May Weatherford, of Olex, Gilliam County, were to have been married June 6, and all arrangements for the wedding had been made. Miss Weatherford is a daughter of ex-County Commissioner Weatherford, who is one of the wealthy Gilliam County landowners.

The tragedy occurred seven months to the day after the death of Mr. Dimick's younger brother, Ralph, the noted Notre Dame University football player, who died in Portland after being injured in a football game. While delirious, as the result of the injury, Ralph Dimick jumped from a hospital window and ran several blocks before he was overtaken. He died shortly afterward.

John Dimick left his home shortly before 10 o'clock telling John Taylor and Alwood Pratt, employed by him, that he was going to visit John Spinney, a neighbor, and would return soon. Taylor and Pratt went to work in a nearby field, and about 11 o'clock noticed that the house was ablaze. They hurried to it, but upon their arrival the building was enveloped in flames. They found several trunks and other furniture in the yard and surmised that Mr. Dimick had taken them out of the building and probably had perished in the flames.

Persons from all parts of the neighborhood hurried to the scene, and waited for the fire to burn itself out. Meanwhile, Grant B. Dimick and his sister, Mrs. Nellie D. Fry, of Portland, were notified. Mrs. Fry came to this city and she and her brother went to Aurora in an automobile. Before their arrival the charred body had been found on a cot, which was near the window. It was evident that Mr. Dimick had been overcome by smoke and had fallen on the cot as he was trying to make his exit through the window. Coroner Wilson viewed the remains, which were taken to Aurora where the funeral will be held probably on Friday.

John R. Dimick was a son of John B. Dimick, a Clackamas County pioneer, and celebrated his forth- fifth birthday, May 9 last. Besides Grant B. Dimick, he is survived by the following brothers: George A., of Hubbard; Augustus, formerly in the railroad business, but now a farmer of this county, and H. E., of Seaview, Wash. Ralph was the youngest member of the family.

Mr. Dimick was graduated from Monmouth College, in 1889 and the Salem Law School in 1904. He and John A. Carson practiced law together in Salem for about two years and later he and S. T. Richardson formed a partnership.

Subsequently he bought a ranch of 58 acres, and had since then devoted most of his time to farming, having been one of the most extensive growers of onion sets in the state. He sold about $5000 worth of sets from a small tract last year and intended to enter more extensively in the business this year.

About two weeks ago Mr. Dimick came to this city to visit his brother, and it was then that he divulged his engagement to marry. He asked his brother to go with him to get the license and exacted a promise that he would attend the ceremony. Mr. Dimick's father who had lived in Hubbard for many years, died in 1903 and his mother died two years ago. The couple came to Clackamas County in 1847.

A strange coincidence in connection with the fire is that the house was ablaze two weeks ago, but Mr. Dimick and the men employed on the ranch extinguished the flames with little loss. They had been more careful since then, and the only explanation of the origin of the second blaze, is that the chimney was defective. Mr. Dimick was a Knight of Pythias, and that order will have charge of the funeral.

The body was burned beyond recognition. The dwelling was old and burned rapidly and it is believed that Mr. Dimick was overcome by the heat while attempting to remove papers, deeds and documents belonging to clients whom he still served, though retired from active Practice.

DIX, Samuel H. Oct. 17, 1908; Oregonian, p 6 "Civil War Veteran Dies at Colton" Oregon City, Or., Oct. 16

DILL, D. K. Aug. 27, 1912; Oregonian, p 4 "Death Takes D. K. Dill" Oregon City, Or., Aug. 26

A sunstroke received during the Civil War when he was orderly for General Powell in the Southern invasions, indirectly caused the death at Gladstone today of D. K. Dill, Past Commander of Mead Post, Grand Army of the Republic.

Mr. Dill was about 65 years old and lived for some years at Gladstone. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, Rev. A. H. Mulkey conducting the services. The ceremony will be under the ritual of the Grand Army. Burial will be at Mountain View cemetery, Oregon City.

Mr. Dill was one of the best known veterans in the state. He was commander of his post in 1911 and is well known in Portland, where one of his children lives. Mr. Dill joined the Union army with the Company B, Third Infantry of Minnesota. He fought the entire four years under General Powell as his orderly. At the close of the war he married Hattie Bolser in Minnesota and came to Oregon in 1882. He settled on a homestead 30 miles east of Portland. Later he went to Hillsboro and then to Clackamas County, settling near Oregon City, and later taking up his home at Gladstone. The veteran is survived by the following children: LeRoy A. Dill, Lester E. Dill, Ecola, Clatsop County; Mrs. W. C. Brown, Sheridan, Or.; Luella W. Dill, of Portland. Two brothers, J. N. Dill, of Santa Anna, Cal., and Edward S. Dill, of Minnesota, survive. EASTHAM, E. L. Jan. 19, 1891; Oregonian, p 2 "Death of E. L. Eastham" Oregon City, Or.; Jan. 18

State Senator E. L. Eastham died at Oregon City this morning. He was born on the Straham place, five miles south of Oregon City, January, 1848, this place being at that time his father's donation land claim. When he was about 3 or 4 years of age his father sold his interest in this claim and moved to Marion county, taking up a claim on Butte creek, about two miles from Mount Angel. Upon this farm his early years were passed. He attended district school at times until he had attained young manhood, when he left the farm and went to attend the Willamette university. He never completed the prescribed course of study, but after attending school for some time went to Albany, where he clerked for two or three years with an uncle. He afterwards engaged for a time in the business of raising sheep, in which undertaking he prospered, but it was ill-suited to his active temperament, so he sold the ranch and came to Oregon City, where he taught very successfully the Canemah school, studying law at the same time with Messrs. Johnson & McCown.

While engaged in teaching and the study of law he was inflicted by the almost total loss of his sight, and to the months of almost total darkness which followed must be attributed the logical mind which he displayed in his subsequent business career, for during these months of almost total blindness his time was busily employed in systematic thought. In 1876 he was admitted to the bar, and in the fall of the same year he was married to Clara Caufield. His first practice was in partnership with S. Huelet; this partnership continued two years. A marked feature of his early practice was the success which tendered his efforts, as he almost invariably won his cases.

In 1881 he organized and started the Bank of Oregon City with which he has ever since been intimately associated as business manager. About the same time he entered into partnership with T. A. McBride for the practice of law. This partnership continued till 1888 when Mr. Eastham retired from the practice of law on account of the pressure of other business.

About 1886 he became owner of the Walla Walla water works which was at that time almost valueless. Under his direction the system was improved, the business men of Walla Walla were interested and the property became very valuable. He retained a large interest in this property until his death.

In 1883 he first conceived the project which was to release the valuable power contained in the Willamette falls from the hand of a monopoly which would neither lease nor sell, and to place it in the hands of local capitalists, who adopted a most liberal policy to induce manufacturers to locate at Oregon City. These parties, under his direction, first secured control of 1000 acres of land opposite Oregon City, joining the falls of the Willamette. When this was done Mr. Eastham negotiated with Elijah Smith for the ownership of the locks, basin and falls. The purchase was completed in 1857, and Mr. Eastham was elected president of the company. Under his wise management this company has been an important factor in the growth of Oregon City.

As a part of this property might be taken by the state in 1892, under the original grant, his first plan was to ask the state to buy the locks in 1887 or to forego any claim which they might have to this property. This the legislature did not see fit to do; but it was not his nature to idly wait for something to turn up, so he began extensive improvements, which have greatly enhanced the value of this property, and at the same time materially benefited Oregon City. Mr. Eastham was the first to advocate a free bridge across the Willamette at this place, and it is owing to his indefatigable efforts that the free suspension bridge now spans the river. Toward this structure the locks company, through him, voluntarily donated to the county all that the bridge should cost over $18,000. He was also largely instrumental in promoting public improvements, including the building of roads leading to Oregon City. In 1888 he conceived the plan of using the power at the falls for the purpose of lighting Portland by electricity, and for this purpose organized the Willamette Falls Electric Company with a capital stock of $1,000,000. Of this company he was chosen president and manager. How successful this enterprise proved is attested by the large powerhouse filled with costly dynamos and machinery at the falls, the many wires extending to Portland, and the great demand for lights in that city. Mr. Eastham was public spirited in a large degree and his influence was certain to be cast in favor of that which would benefit and improve the town. He served for three successive terms as school director. Though invariably interested in politics he sought no position for himself and would accept none until the last general election, when he was unanimously nominated by the republican convention for state senator from Clackamas county and was elected by a handsome majority. An incessant worker, it has long been apparent to his friends that he was over exerting himself.

Overwork induced serious illness while he was in Walla Walla, last May, but recovered in part and continued active, as before, until September 1 last when he was taken sick with inflammatory rheumatism. This was aggravated by a strain to the back produced while lifting machinery on the dock. for the purpose of securing better medical attendance he was removed to Portland about October 1st. Two weeks later he fell in his room and fractured his leg, which break was not discovered by the doctors till some two weeks afterwards. He was then removed to P. F. Morey's residence where he remained until four weeks go, when he was brought back home. During the latter part of his illness there seemed to be nothing the matter with him except physical and mental weakness. On Wednesday Dr. Holt, of Portland, was called to consult with Dr. W. E. Caril, attending physician. He expressed an opinion to the effect that nothing alarming existed; that his system was only debilitated; that with rest and nourishing food he might recover. Friday night he was restless and did not sleep well. On Saturday he appeared worse, so that all Saturday night his brother-in-law, Charles Caufield, N. O. Walden and Dr. Caril watched with him. His sufferings were considerable at times up to a few hours before his death, which occurred at 8 o'clock this morning. He leaves a wife and six children, the youngest being born since his illness began. in Mr. Eastham's death Oregon City has lost its foremost citizen.

EVANS, James Madison Dec. 16, 1910; Oregonian, p 6 "Captain J. M. Evans Dies" Oregon City, Or., Dec. 15

Following a long illness, Captain James Madison Evans, one of the oldest steamboat men in the state, passed away this morning at his home in Canby. Death was due to dropsy.

Captain Evans was born in St. Louis, Mo., August 28, 1843, and March 1, 1852, started across the plains with his parents. The travelers in 13 wagons had many thrilling adventures with the Indians and suffered many hardships before the train arrived in Oregon City, October 27, of the same year. Following a short residence here, the Evans family moved to a log cabin at the mouth of the Pudding River. Mr. Evans after several years took up his residence at Canby where the family has lived ever since.

Steamboat work early appealed to Captain Evans, and there is perhaps no man in Oregon who had been connected with as many historic and well-known boats as he. He is survived by his wife and three children: Mrs. Emma Burgoyne of Portland, and Henry and Wilson Evans of Canby. The funeral services will be held at 11 o'clock tomorrow forenoon at Canby.

Captain James Madison Evans, one of the best known steamboat men in Oregon, who died in Canby yesterday, was buried this morning, the services being held at the family home, with interment in the Canby cemetery.

James Evans was born in St. Louis, Mo., August 28, 1843. At the age of six, he accompanied his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Evans, to Andrew County, Missouri, with a train of 13 wagons across the plains. The start was made in March, 1852.There were many thrilling experiences on the trip. A brother of James Evans, while playing near the camp, was taken suddenly ill with the cholera, and died after a few minutes of suffering. The family of Mr. Evans arrived her in October, 1852. The train disbanded at The Dalles, and those who came to Oregon City crossed the river near the site of the old brick mill, which is now used by Hawley Pulp & Paper Company.

After a three-weeks' stay in this city, James Evans left with his parents for the mouth of the Pudding River. A cabin was built by the father, and he secured employment with Dr. John McLoughlin in this city. James well remembered the Father of Oregon, and often spoke in the highest terms of his kindness to the settlers. Mr. Evans delighted in telling of his thrilling experiences with the Indians in the early days, and he had hundreds of friends, young and old, who learned with regret of his death.

Perhaps no man in the state of Oregon has had charge of so many boats as Captain James Evans. Among the boats he was connected with in the early days were the Hoosier, Washington, Canemah, Oregon, Willamette, Relief, Elk, Shoshone, Phoenix, Shoalwater, Moose, Gazelle and Franklin. Of the boats of later years, Captain Evans has been connected with the S. T. church, Yamhill, Orient, Occident, Enterprise, James Clinton, Shoefly, Dayton, Echo, St. Carrie, Ohio, city of Salem, Success, Eugene, Eagle, Reliance, Albany, Active, N. S. Bentley, W. M.
