Notes for JAMES BOWMAN DIXON:
James was the seventh son of Thomas and Rebecca Hotchkiss / Dixon. Born at Ovid in Seneca County, New
York. In 1812 while still a boy, James's mother died. After the death of his mother, James Dixon was bound out to
a man named John Hedges and remained with him until the last year of the War of 1812. He then bound himself out
to a man by the name of Samuel Stewart who was to give him three years of schooling and $600 when he became of
age. He lived with this man three years. In 1816 James and his brother Lewis left Crooked Lake, New York with
70 persons, taking a raft from the head of the Allegheny River and landing at Louisville, Kentucky. James worked
there for sometime helping take out 2,000,000 feet of plank. He worked for one month for $6.00 on a turnpike road
between Louisville and Shelbyville, hauling rock for twelve Negroes to break for the road. during his stay here,
James Dixon's fortune was told by a woman who predicted his long, useful and successful life.
From here, James Dixon went to Indiana where he worked one year for Col. Redman for the sum of $6.00
monthly. Col. Redman had participated in the late war. James then visited his father on the Wabash remaining there
for one year before returning to Clark County where his brother, Lewis, made his home. James worked there for a
Mr. Johnson, taking a flat boat to New Orleans and continuing in this work for three years. The flat boat was sold at
Vetunica and James walked from there to Visary, a distance of sixty miles in one day. On this day, he saw none but
Negroes and their overseers. James took a steam boat from Visary to his home in Indiana being thirty-one days en
route. He engaged in the flat boat business for sometime.
In 1824, he moved to Shelby County, Indiana living near the Blue River. He married Susan Copple on April
5th of that year before moving to Shelby County. They were married by squire Bowers. In two years, he
accumulated sufficient funds to purchase eighty acres of land. He and his wife lived here for 20 years and 10 of
their 13 children were born here. He sold his holdings here for $6,000 and moved to Andrew County, Missouri
where he purchased a farm of 300 acres. The family lived here for 8 years.
After living in Indiana for some time, the family moved to Missouri. In 1850 James Dixon went to Oregon
accompanied by three of his eldest children ... John, Rebecca (with her husband Adam Rhodes) and Elizabeth. They
arrived in Portland, Oregon after picking up three other persons en route. They had suffered untold hardships,
including running short of supplies during the seven months on the wagon train west.
Upon arriving in Portland, James Dixon took a job providing firewood for the Columbia River steamboats. In
the course of events he met the well-known steamboat man Captain William Irving who promptly fell in love with
James Dixon's daughter Elizabeth and married her on September 27th 1851. Shortly thereafter, James Dixon
returned to Missouri via the Isthmus of Panama to pick up his wife and the remainder of the family for the overland
trek west.
In preparation for the return trip of himself and family to Oregon, he sold his farm, now consisting of 500 acres,
for $8.00 per acre. Purchased 22 yoke of oxen, working twelve of them four to each wagon. One wagon held 4,000
lbs. of flour, another 4,000 lbs. of middling meal and another was loaded with a cooking stove and other utensils.
They began the journey in April of 1852 with three wagons and completed the trip in three months.
Also, in this train of wagons, making the journey, was James's brother Hiram Dixon and his family.

Pioneer Narrative," part 2 p. 170... ( ) bracketed material is footnotes included in article.
In the fall of 1850 we heard that my uncle, Samuel Miller, and his family were crossing the plains to Oregon. The
migration of 1850 to Oregon and California was very large, and provisions were limited. My brother Jefferson and I
bought a horse each, and started over the Barlow Road(opened in 1845-46) to The Dalles. On arriving at The
Dalles, we bought another horse, and packed him with flour and bacon, and then started to meet our uncle. We
heard at The Dalles that they were somewhere in the Snake River country, and short of supplies. We hurried on to
meet them, and found them in camp on the western slope of the Blue Mountains. They were more than pleased to
meet us, as their supplies were abut exhausted, except for some corn and salmon that they had obtained from the
Indians. There was a company of eight or 10 wagons, so our small stock of provisions did not last long. In this
company was a family by the name of Dixon (James Dixon, son John, daughters Sarah, Elizabeth, and Mrs. Rebecca
Rhodes; Sarah married George W. Shaver.), with several children and two or three daughters, who settled on the
Willamette opposite Portland. One of the daughters married George W. Shave (George W. Shaver came to Oregon,
1850; born in Kentucky, March 2, 1832, died October 26, 1900.), and another named Elizabeth married Captain
William Irving (William Irving came to Oregon, 1849, as master of the bark Success; born in Scotland, 1816; died at
New Westminster, B. C., August 28, 1872.) a noted steamboat man, who located a claim of land opposite Cook's
addition to Portland, which is now known as Irvington. We led this party over the Cascade Range via the Barlow
road. We got caught in a severe snow storm at or near Laurel Hill (Laurel Hill, west of Government Camp, was
very steep. Pioneer wagons were let down by ropes. An easy highway now traverses this mountain. The first route
was an Indian trail.) immediately south of Mount Hood, and our stock suffered very greatly. My saddle horse
chilled and died. We had a serious time for a few days. My uncle had to leave one of his wagons not far from
Laurel Hill, until we could get feed for our stock and a day's rest. We then started on our way to Oregon City.

In 1872 Fendel Sutherlin rented his farm of more than 13,000 acres to James Chenoweth (Born in Missouri,

emigrated to America when but a child with her father and settled on the Susquehanna near Philadelphia. Her name
was Rebecka Hotchkiss. My father was born in Dublin, came to America as a soldier under Cornwallis, served
seven years and was taken prisoner by Washington at Yorktown. He became acquainted with my mother and was
married near Philadelphia. They lived together until death separated then, and had twelve children, two girls and ten
boys, of which I am the seventh son, and the only one now living. My mother died the year 1812 first week in
January. She was buried at the outlet of Crooked Lake, Ontario County, New York. My father died in Indiana, and
was buried by the Wabash, Sullivan County, Indiana. My wife's people emigrated from Prussia to North Carolina.
>From there they emigrated to Indiana, where my wife was born. Their religious principles was Lethiarians
Moriaaridna and Quakers. My religion is United Brethren.

The following comes taken from the "Historic Douglas County, Oregon" published 1982.
"THE PIONEER DIXON FAMILY
James Bowman emigrated from Missouri to Oregon in 1850 and spent the winter in the Portland area clearing land
and cutting wood for the steamships running on the rivers around Portland.
A married daughter, Rebecca Rhoades and her husband, a son, John Dixon, and two daughters, Sarah and Elizabeth
Dixon accompanied their father on this first trip.
Both daughter married that year - Elizabeth to Captain William Irving, for whom the Irvington district in Portland is
named, and Sarah to George Washington Shaver. Descendants of this couple still run the Shaver Steamship
Company in Portland today.
In 1852, James B. Dixon returned to Missouri via the Isthmus of Panama and brought his family back over the
overland trail. Accompanying him was James' brother Hiram Dixon and his family, as well as the Dimmick, Short,
Powell and Pugh families. Five Dixon sons came west with their parents -- Thomas H., Rafael, Riley, Enos and
Salem.
In the spring of 1853 James B. Dixon led his family south to Deer Creek - Roseburg area and took up Donation
Land Claim 46 on the North Umpqua River in what was eventually called Sunshine Valley. Somewhere in the
process of moving they lost a son, Salem, then age 14.
Later in 1878 another son, Thomas H. Dixon, was killed by the Indians in the Steens Mountains area. He was
freighting for the Dixon family. His body was later returned to the family burial plot in Sunshine Valley.
Besides Rebecca, Elizabeth and Sarah, there were three more daughters - Melinda Dixon Chenoworth, Anna Dixon
Short, and Surlinda Susan Dixon Dickson. All had large families so that their descendants spread all over the
county.
Rafael B. Dixon married Nancy M. Livingston and ran a ranch in conjunction with his sister Elizabeth Irving at the
crossroads six miles east of Roseburg. Four children blessed this marriage: William, James, Carrie and Seth. All
married but only Seth had issue - one daughter, Dorothy Dixon. A post office was established at the crossroads in
1901 and it was named Dixonville after R. B. Dixon.
Enos Dixon, who had married Seletsy Welleses, remained on the original Dixon donation land claim. Enos had
been handicapped by a bout with polio and it was felt fitting that he retain the "home place".
Enos and Seletsy Dixon had seven children, five of whom reached adulthood - Susan Sarilda Jennings, Mabel Coral
Shambrook, Elsie Maude (who died at 20 from acute appendicitis), Thomas Orville Dixon, and Edith Myrtle Kent.
Tom O. Dixon inherited the original ranch from his father Enos Dixon and ran sheep on it for the remainder of his
life. He imported purebred Corriedale rams to improve his flock. He married Hazel Jewett thereby uniting two of
the oldest pioneer families in the area, as Hazel Jewett was a descendant of Tennessee Howard and Moses Parrott.
The Tom O. Dixons had three children, Bettyjane Dixon, and two who died in infancy, a son Thomas William and a
daughter Roberta Frances. In his early 40s Tom Dixon succumbed to cancer, and Hazel Jewett Dixon returned to
teaching to support herself and daughter. She taught in the Roseburg public school system 25 years altogether.
The daughter, Bettyjane Dixon, graduated from Oregon State University and taught two years before she married
DeLa Worth Edison Davis. Four children were born to this union, Dee Ann Davis Vian, Dixon Worth Davis, Dana
William Davis and Rosa Daurice David Whitesel. Only the two girls have married to date - Dee Ann twice - first to
William Corrico; children, Donald William Carrico and Cherree Helene Carrico; second to Victor Paul Vian; child,
Vicki Deeann Vian. Rosa Daurice married Micheal Freeman Whitesel and they have two children, Daniel Worth
Whitesel and Karisa Michelle Whitesel. All four children and their families still reside in Oregon. Truly this is an
Oregonian Family as all six generation have made Oregon their home.
Even though the Dixons produced large families for three generations there were many who remained single or did
not have families, so that by the fourth generation in Oregon only two daughters were left to carry on and of course
lost the Dixon name when they married, so the name has died out.
Land and the production of fine livestock was always paramount with the Dixons. Tom O. Dixon inherited the
original ranch and ran it until his death. His daughter Bettyjane also lived on it and ran it for five years. The major
portion was sold, but the family still owns a small piece in Sunshine Valley which they use for a summer residence.
The Dixons were always interested in improving livestock breeds. They imported a purebred Shire stallion from
England called The Baron. Bettyjane can remember being driven to town behind a team that were descendants of
this stud. The Baron topped a ton of horseflesh when he matured and like to rest his chin on the top of a six-foot
man's head!
As each daughter married, James B. Dixon gave them a family Bible and in it he wrote this thumbnail sketch: "I
arrived in southern Oregon in the spring of 1853 with a blooded stud, two mares, my wife and 13 children." At least
Susan Dixon always knew where she stood with her husband.
From notes on the margins of materials about the slaves question, James B. Dixon saw the Civil War coming did not
want to sacrifice his sons to "such a stupid conflict", so he emigrated west.
The Dixons believed in education, sending the children to a year beyond the eighth grade at the Wilbur Academy.
Myrtle Dixon Kent had to ride astride out of Sunshine Valley to attend school, fording the North Umpqua in the
process. She had to change out of her divided skirt in the basement of the school before she could go up to the main
classroom floor.
In the mid-1930s when the next generation, Bettyjane Dixon, was majoring in agriculture at Oregon State
University, she had to carry a special permit card to cross the campus to the barns in slacks. The Dixons were still
pioneering." Written by: Bettyjane Dixon Davis and Dixon Worth Davis.
James wrote "My political principals were devoted to the old Whig party, and when that party embarked on its
present career as Republican, I have maintained the principals of it until now and see no good reason for any change,
as the country has prospered very much, since it became the guiding power.
I cast my first vote for President for Henry Clay in 1824, and four years later I voted for President Jackson and
Douglas. I cast three Democratic votes, one each for Benton, Jackson and Douglass. I was on the side of the union
during the rebellion and I expect to die under the flag for which our forefathers fought for Liberty and Freedom."

IN MEMORIAM. An old and respected friend, James Dixon is now no more in the land of the living, yet now that
he has gone to that bourne from whence none r'er return, his memory will be fresh and green in the hearts of his
many relatives and friends, who are left to mourn in their bereavement. The subject of our sketch was born in the
town of Ovid, Seneca co., New York, 1803. He lost a good and kind mother, in 1812, by death, so at a tender age he
missed a mother's care. After this sad event he was bound as an apprentice to a Mr. Hedges, and remained with him
until he became bankrupt, then our friend was free from his engagement, and had to make his own way in the world.
His father, at that time, lived on a farm in Indiana on the "New Purchase," near the Wabash river. In 1818 himself
and (sic) brother, rafted lumber from the Alleghany river to Louisville, Kentucky. After several years at the rafting
business and not being very successful, he worked for Colonel Redmond, for the meager sum of $6.00 per month,
for one year. Afterwards he remained on the farmstead in Indiana, and to change the monotony of a rural life, took
flat-boats full of produce to New Orleans. He was married April 5, 1824, settling for the time being in Indiana,
where he bought 80 acres of land, and had ten children born to him in that state. After residing there for 20 years he
removed to Missouri, and remained there eight years, from thence moved to Oregon, crossing the plains with his
three eldest children, arriving at Portland in November, 1851, suffering untold hardships on the route. He worked
for C & F Caruthers, also for the late Father Wilbur. Out late friend returned to his old home in Indiana, arriving
there in 1852; via Panama. He sold out his property and started back to Oregon, with a well-rigged outfit being only
four months enroute, whereas on the former trip it took over seven months to perform the journey. The dread
cholera raged throughout the camps that year, and that disease and the exposure took off nearly 20,000 person of all
ages.
In the autumn of 1853 he settled on the North Umpqua River, Douglas County, purchasing a farm of 640 acres from
Wm. Rowland, of Kentucky, a famous hunter in his day, who afterwards settled on the South Fork of Coquille
River. He lived on this place many happy years, toiling hard early and late, and to use his own words; "I can say by
the blessings of God I prospered under His supreme care with my family around me until my dear wife died, and
was called from hence by her Maker, and we were parted to meet no more on earth."
His beloved wife died on March 10, 1878, they having lived together fifty-four years, in peaceful happiness, and she
now sleeps her last sleep neath Umpqua's green turf beside her loved son, Thomas, who we regret to say was killed
by the Indians near Stein's (sic) mountain. On the same stream's green clad slope lies his lamented brother, Raphael,
a pioneer. Mr. Dixon was a through Union man during the late strife, and devoted to the principles of the party that
held it together. His religious views were free from bigotry, tho' leaning towards the doctrine of brotherly love in
the church in Christ. He was a temperate person in the mode of life, honest in his dealings and unfailing in true
friendship.
We regret to say our late and esteemed friend died at Wilbur, Douglas County, Oregon, June 21, 1895, after a
lingering illness of several months, at the patriarchal age of nearly 92 years, and was buried by the side of his
lamented wife near the North Umpqua River.
ELEGY.
In yon glade they peacefully lie
Shut out from earthly sight,
But thou, O God, Who reigns on high
Hast given them Heavenly light.
We bow submissively to Thy will,
For Thou art great above,
We feel Thou wilt Thy word fulfill,
And grant us Thy pure love.

"The Saga of Tom Dixon
by G. B. Abdill
The family cemetery of the Dixons lies nestled among the oaks overlooking the North Umpqua river, not far west
of the place where Clover Creek discharges into the Umpqua. It is a peaceful site, the silence broken only by the
call of the quail and the drumming of a woodpecker seeking grubs in a decaying oak. Moss cottles the marble
stone which marks the resting place of James and Susan Dixon and around the graves of these pioneers of
Douglas County other markers preserve the memory of their relatives and friends who have passed to their final
rest.
James Dixon, the patriarch of the clan, was born near Crooked Lake, New York, on July 4th, 1803, the son of a
Revolutionary War veteran. He married Susan Copple and after living in Indiana for some time, the family
moved to Missouri. James Dixon came to Oregon in 1850, accompanied by his son, John, and daughters Sarah
and Elizabeth. Leaving the three children in Portland, James Dixon return to his home via the Isthmus of Panama
and in 1852 he came back to Oregon across the plains, bringing his wife and children; in the train of wagons
making this journey was James Dixon's brother, Hiram Dixon, who brought his wife and children; the Ziba
Dimmick family, the John short family, the Powells, the Pughs, and others. After wintering in the Willamette
Valley, James Dixon came to the Umpqua country in 1853 and purchased a land claim from a squaw man named
Rowland, paying the man $1,000 for his squatters rights. The Hiram Dixon family settled nearby, as did the
Short family.
The two daughters who had accompanied James Dixon on his first trip to Oregon both married: Sarah Dixon
became the wife of Captain George Washington Shaver, the noted Oregon steamboat operator, and Elizabeth
Dixon married Captain William Irving, head of the noted British Columbia steamboat family.
The five sons of James and Susan Dixon all came to Douglas County with their parents and engaged in ranching
and stock raising; these boys were John, Thomas H., Rafael B., Enos, and Riley Dixon. It is with Tom Dixon, the
second of these sons, that our story lies.
The dust has long since settled over the trail of Tom Dixon and many of the events of his last days have been
dimmed by the passing of time, but what follows is an attempt to present the stories and accounts in an effort to
document his history.
The Dixons raised cattle in Douglas County, and trailed them east across the Cascades to the open grazing hand
of southeastern Oregon. Here the herds were fattened in the Steen's Mountain region, then driven to the shipping
point at Winnemucca, Nevada.
In 1878 Tom Dixon was trailing a herd east, accompanied by his 17-year old nephew, Lincoln Shaver; also in the
trail drive was a hired man named Higgison -- the identity of this man is uncertain, varied accounts giving his
name as Nixon, Harrison, Neckleson, etc. According to an account left by Lincoln Shaver, John Dixon was
probably in the Steen's Mountains area waiting the arrival of the trail herd; the Dixon ranch was located on the
east side of the Steen's, between Mann's Lake and Barren Valley.
As Tom Dixon and his riders trailed their herd eastward the flames of the Bannock Indian was spread rapidly
west to meet them. Led by the noted war chief, Egan, the warriors moved across the Owyhee River and headed
for the Steen's Mountains, stealing horses, burning isolated ranches, and killing any unfortunate white man in
their path. Rumors of the Indian advance reached John Dixon and he send a rider west to intercept Tom Dixon
and the trail herd, informing him of the approach of the hostiles and advising him to drop the cattle and not
attempt to bring them on to the Dixon range.
Tom Dixon was a man who did not frighten easily. Born in Shelby County, Indiana, he had been 11 years old
when he accompanied his parents west over the Oregon Trail; now, in the spring of 1878, he was 37 years of age,
unmarried, and an experienced cattleman. Scanning the horizon for any indication of danger, he kept moving his
herd slowly through the valley of the Donner and Blitzen River. About 4 miles ahead of him vaqueros led by
Pete French, noted cattleman, were engaged in working stock near French's big Diamond Ranch. Just as French
and his crew were saddling up for the day's work, a rider came flying into camp with news that a war party of
Paiutes was rapidly approaching. French put up a running fight, which enabled his men to escape toward the P
Ranch, headquarters for French's vast cattle empire. The only casualty was the Chinese cook who, unaccustomed
to riding, fell from his horse and was killed by the Indians while hiding under a little bridge.
Warned by some of the fleeing riders, Tom Dixon and his crew abandoned their camp wagons and cattle and
retreated south to the Home Creek cattle ranch of David Shirk. According to Lincoln Shaver, a sod breastworks
was erected at the Shirk ranch and the Dixon party spent several days here, awaiting an attack that never
materialized. David Shirk's written account (in which he confuses Tom Dixon with his brother, John Dixon)
states that Dixon and one of his crew. Higgison, decided to return to their abandoned wagons to see what had
become of them. According to Shirk, Higgison's wife and child had recently died at Roseburg and he was
anxious to secure some mementos of them that he had left in the wagon when the drovers had fled before the
approaching Indians. Shirk loaned this man a horse, but Dixon refused the offer of a similar loan, preferring to
travel on his big riding mule. William Shirk, a younger brother of Dave Shirk, accompanied the two men. The
three proceeded cautiously, but discovered no sign of hostiles and eventually reached their abandoned camp
wagons, which the marauding warriors had evidently missed. Horses were hitched up and the men started back
toward the Shirk ranch, William Shirk riding some distance ahead. The rifle he had been carrying was left in one
of the Dixon wagons. Without warning, Indians hidden in the junipers opened fire on Shirks, one report stating
that a rifle ball clipped a lock of hair from his head just above his ear. His horse jumped at the first fire and
Shirk's pistol fell from the holster, leaving him unarmed. After a wild ride and a narrow escape, William Shirk
out-distanced his pursuers and made his way back to his brother's ranch on Home Creek.
Dixon and his helper failed to show up; when Shirk had last seen them, they were about 4 miles behind him,
moving along a plateau. After several more days of anxious waiting, David Shirk led a party of cattlemen out to
search for the missing men. They located them at the crossing of a stream - most sources say the Blitzen River,
but there is some evidence that the stream may have been Krumbe Creek, a tributary of the Donner and Blitzen.
Higgison was found dead, apparently shot as he sat in his wagon while permitting his team to drink from the
stream. He had been scalped and his body mutilated, and Shirk believed the man had been killed by Indians lying
in ambush at the crossing.
In the limited (750 copies) edition of the book, "The Cattle Drives of David Shirk", edited by Martin F. Schmitt
and published by the Champoeg Press of Portland in 1956, Dave Shirk has left his version of the last earthly
moments of Tom Dixon, "When the first shots were fired, Dixon evidently leaped from his wagon and tried to
gain cover in the willows that bordered the stream. His body was found about a hundred feet from the willows,
and every sign pointed to the fact that he had died a horrible death. His limbs were drawn up, and his features
terribly contorted, displaying unmistakably the pangs of which he died. I made a couple of rough boxes and
interred the bodies of the ill-fated men as best I could. Later, the bodies were taken up and removed to Roseburg,
Oregon, their old home, and given decent interment."
Shirk also mentions the wantonness of the Indians, relating how the war parties shot cattle they did not want to
drive off. Quoting Shirk's account, "As an instance of utter wantonness, the case of Mr. Dixon, brother of the
man murdered at the crossing of the Blixen River, will serve as an example. He owned a horse ranch on the east
side of Stein Mountain, between Mann Lake and Barren Valley. There the Indians corralled sixty of his best bred
Oregon horses, animals weighing from 1400 to 1600 pounds, and killed every one of them."
The story of Tom Dixon does not end with his death near the willows bordering the eastern Oregon watercourse
where he fell before the hail of death fired by the Indians as he bravely dashed toward a place of shelter where he
could make his last desperate stand. Before we move on the final chapter of his saga, it might be well to discuss
the date on which he died.
His tombstone gives this date as "June 24, 1878". David Shirk's story relates that the horse he had loaned to Tom
Dixon's companion, Higgison, was later found dead on the battlefield on Silver Creek, after the sharp engagement
fought there between the Indians under Chief Egan and the troopers led by Col. Barnard on Jun 23rd, 1878.
In his fine book, "Cattle Country of Peter French", author Giles French details the death of rancher George Smyth
and his son, John at the hands of the Indians in their burning ranch house in Happy Valley (George Smyth was
the father-in-law of Stilly Riddle), then goes on to describe the attack of Pete French and his crew, giving the date
of the attack on French as July 14th, 1878. Giles French write, "Later that day the Paiutes killed Tom Dixon and
a man named Harrison (sic), who were fishing in the Blitzen River." French goes on to relate how Peter French
and his crew retreated to Fort Harney, where Pete French was made a scout under Colonel Bernard and took part
in the battle of Silver Creek on Sunday, June 23rd, 1878, thus contradicting his own date in regard to the previous
attack on French and his crew at the Diamond Ranch.
George F. Brimlow, in his book, "Harney County, Oregon, And Its Range Land", covers the attack on Peter
French's crew, stating that, "two Dixon brothers and their Indian hand called Joe" were among the men who fled
with French from the Diamond Ranch. He gives no date for this attack, but later states that John South, foreman
of a bunch of buckaroos camped at the Malheur Slough, rode south to the Diamond Ranch, discovering the body
of the scalped Chinese cook, and while on his way to the P Ranch he, "… warned Tom Dixon and another man
(named Nixon or Harrison), camped near the river. Disdainful of danger, the pair soon met death at the hands of
Indians."
Brimlow, too, records that Pete French and his men were on hand at Fort Harney and joined the scouts under
Orlando ("Rube") Robbins and the troops led by Captain Reuben F. Bernard, U.S.A., prior to the battle of Silver
Creek on June 23rd, 1878.
Sifting the jumbled versions of the affair, evidence strongly points to the fact that the death of Tom Dixon and his
companion occurred during the last half of the month of June, 1878, rather than on the July 14th date commonly
given. The date of June 21st, given on the Tom Dixon's grave marker, is likely quite accurate.
Lincoln Shaver, Tom Dixon's nephew, escaped the Indians and on or about the 10th of September, 1878, joined
in a trail drive of cattle to Winnemucca; after the herd was delivered, he went to San Francisco and boarded the
old steamer, CITY OF CHESTER, for the trip home to Portland. On the Nehalem River, the steamer broke her
main shaft and drifted helplessly until taken in tow by the steamer, LITTLE CALIFORNIA, and brought safely in
to Astoria. What with the excitement of cattle drives, Indian wars, and near marine disaster, it had been quite a
year for the 17-year old Lincoln Shaver, who later became Chief Engineer of the Shave Transportation Company
steamboats.
When the news of Tom Dixon's death reached Roseburg, plans were made to return his body for burial. From the
recollections of descendants of the Dixon, Short, and Strader families the following sequel of the Tom Dixon
story evolves.
Liberty ("Lib") short and Riley ("Rile") Dixon set out from Roseburg to return the remains of Tom Dixon, "Rile"
Dixon being a brother of the deceased. According to one version, this pair only got as far as Lakeview, on Goose
Lake, where the threat of continued Indian hostility caused them to give up the trip and return home. The next
attempt to retrieve the remains was made by George W. Short, Sr., and a son of the murdered Higgison who was
killed with Dixon. This pair made the trip to the Steen's Mountains in a buckboard, located the graves of Dixon
and Higgison, dug up the remains, and started home. The journey was an exciting one, reportedly made in the
chill of winter. One night Short and Higgison camped at a straw stack where a number of hogs had taken shelter,
possibly at the site of one of the ranches destroyed by the Indians. Although opposed by Short, young Higgison
kindled a fire; Short feared that the blaze might draw the attention of roving bands of Indians still at large in the
desert. During the night the pair detected a suspicious figure among their horses and when George Short cocked
his rifle a man cried out, "Don't shoot!". Suspecting the man to be a horse thief, they forced him to remain with
them and the hogs in the straw until daybreak.
Another night was spent at one of Peter French's cattle ranches and more excitement was in store here. One of
French's Mexican vaqueros reportedly stole a bottle of whiskey from the Short party and got drunk. An argument
ensued and the Mexican drew a gun. Enter now Tom Strader, whose role is still not clear; whether he had
accompanied Short from Roseburg or whether he had been in the Malheur region, perhaps with John Dixon, and
had joined the Short party in recovering Tom Dixon's remains is unknown. At any rate, Strader seized a
singletree and struck the Mexican over the head, knocking him senseless. About this time Peter French himself
arrived on the scene and when the affair was explained to him, the hot-temper little cattle baron proceeded to
literally stomp up and down with his boot heels on the prostrate form of his vaquero who had created such a
breach of the proverbial French hospitality.
From the French ranch the party drove on to Fort Harney, where they reportedly spent another night. Quite a
number of Indians were being held under guards at that post, and signal fires from hostile bands not yet captured
were visible on various peaks. Once during the trip Stanley Short of Wilbur relates that his father saw some
Indians driving off a band of cattle, but the men in the buckboard either escaped detection or were avoided by the
natives. The party reportedly made their way north to The Dalles, probably coming down the Columbia River by
steamboat. Arriving in Portland, the men drove south through the Willamette Valley, leaving Higgison's son and
the remains of Higgison at Salem.
The buckboard bearing Ton Dixon's remains, drawn by a little white driving team flecked with spots, finally
arrived in Roseburg and the unfortunate young rancher's last ride was over.
He was laid to rest in a plot in the family cemetery, close to the raw earth covering in the grave of his mother, for
Susan Copple Dixon had passed away on March 10th, 1878, only a few months before the death of her son. Tom
Dixon had been a popular young man in Douglas County, and a host of friends and relatives mourned his passing.
A tall marble shaft topped his tombstone, and on the base was carved the following:
Thos. H. Dixon
Born
In Shelby Co., Indiana
April 11, 1841
Killed by the Indians at
Stein's Mountain, Grant Co., Ogn.
June 24, 1878
The engraving on the stone uses the old spelling of Stein's Mountain, but this rugged chain of peaks thrusting up
from the floor of the desert rangelands was named for Major Enoch Steen of the United States Army and the
current spelling uses the form of Steen's Mountain. Dixon's headstone also locates the place of his death in "Grant
Co.", and this was correct at the time, for while the site is now in Harney County the latter county was not created
until 1889.
James Dixon, the father of Thomas Dixon, was laid to rest within the protecting iron fence surrounding the graves
of his son and his wife, having died on June 21st, 1895. Near their plots lie the graves of a Chinese cook long
employed on the Dixon ranch and one or two Indian ranch hands, marked only by a blaze on an oak tree.
In recent years the Dixon cemetery suffered damage at the hands of irresponsible young vandals. Today the final
resting place of these early Douglas County pioneers is cared for by Mrs. Myrtle Dixon Kent of Roseburg, a niece
of Tom Dixon and the granddaughter of James and Sarah Copple Dixon.
And so Tom Dixon is home sleeping away Eternity in the quiet solitude on the banks of the North Umpqua, far
removed from the scene of his tragic death at the hands of the Indians in the open range country of eastern
Oregon.

The following was taken from the "A History of Fulton County, Illinois in Spoon River County 1818-1968";
page 69"; "Canton, It's Pioneers and History; History of Fulton Co., Ill." 1879 by Chapman.
In 1833, Banner Township (Utica), Fulton Co., Ill. a small distillery was operated on Duck Creek by Raphiel
(Rafe) Dixon (who married was married to Lucinda Copple), Ensley Fouts and George Smith (who was married to
Margaret Copple). They were sometimes plagued very much while at the distillery by their brother-in-law, Noah
Garron (who was married to Catherine Copple); Noah would drink the whiskey as fast as it ran from the still.
Lucinda, Maragaret and Catherine Copple were sisters, daughters of Phillip Copple.
The following was taken from the "History of Nodaway County": copyright 1882.
"The second settler in Independence Township was Raphael Dixon who emigrated originally from Tennessee
and remained a few years in Andrew County. In 1846, he came to Independence Township and settled on the East
Side of Honey Creek, at the very edge of the timber, on section 32, township 67, range 33. He took a claim on the
open prairie and opened a farm containing half a section of land. He is remembered by the pioneers as a good
citizen, of marked social qualities, and very hospitable. His home was a rendezvous for social parties made up on
acquaintances for miles around, and on Saturday and Sunday there would be gatherings of friends at this house who
would engage in those pastimes in vogue among the pioneers. Some would try their skill at shooting at a mark,
others would take a game of cards, and all of them would imbibe a little, a habit very common in pioneer times. A
most cordial welcome was extended to all who would come on such occasions, and the day passed off with great
enjoyment. The board would be spread with an abundance of good things common to pioneer days. Mr. Dixon
owned a horse mill to grind corn for the neighbors, which made his house a great resort. Sometimes the young folks
would have a dance, on which occasion Jack Anderson would play the violin. In 1863, Mr. Dixon went to
Nebraska, where he is still living on a farm. Wm. Dixon, his son, now resides on Honey Creek".

Notes for ELIZABETH JANE DIXON:
"The Dixon Stallion
One of the noted stallions in Douglas County was the Shire stud kept at the Raphael B. Dixon ranch near
Dixonville. This horse was purchased by A. G. Ryan of East Portland, Oregon, and imported from England in 1888.
Mrs. Ryan was the former Elizabeth Dixon Irving; her first husband was the noted British Columbia steamboat
operator, Capt. Wm. Irving. After his death and her marriage to Ryan, she went abroad and purchased registered
livestock, including beef cattle and the Shire stallion, and these were placed on the ranch of her brother, Raphael B.
"Rafe" Dixon.
The stallion was named THE BARON V, #1320 (8398), in Vol. II of that group's records. He was a bay, foaled
in 1886, and was sired by PETERBOROUGH TOM; his dam was BEAUTY by SAMSON. The stallion was bred
by the executors of Thomas Hanger, Willow Hall, Thorney, Cambridgeshire, England."

Notes for LINCOLN SHAVER:
(Fred Lockley on the Dixon episode)
"In 1878 his uncle, John Dixon, wished him to go to Roseburg and help another uncle, Tom Dixon, to take a
band of cattle to Lake County, where John Dixon had a ranch. they proceeded to Klamath County, at which time
the Plute (sic: Paiute) and Bannock Indians were causing considerable trouble, so that Mr. Shaver and his uncle
were compelled to leave their cattle at the foot of Steen Mountain. His uncle, John Dixon, had sent out a man to
tell them that they had better drop the cattle and not try to fetch them in: however, they proceeded to one of the
ranches of Pet (sic: Pete) French. Another band of cattle was four miles ahead of them, and was being driven to
the Diamond ranch, which also belonged to Pet (sic: Pete) French, who had altogether ten ranches. The Indians
saw the drivers who were on ahead, and the latter came riding back to the Shaver-Dixon camp as fast as their
horses could run, shouting "Indians!". Accordingly, Mr. Shaver and Mr. Dixon left their camp wagons and took
their horses and proceeded back along the road to the ranch of Dave Sherk, where there were sixty men with three
Gatling guns and a breastwork built of fourteen inch sod. this occurred on the 24th of July 1878. Mr. Dixon and
a man by the name of Nickelson went back some days later after the grub wagons. Dave Sherk and two other
men declared that they were going to Fort McDonald (?) if they saw no signs of Indians. There were a number of
pony tracks across the wagon road, but the men thought it was a band of wild Indian ponies. They had gone some
distance when they saw Indians. It had been their purpose to return if they saw Indians, but the wily savages
made their way toward the rear. thus cutting Sherk off from the men. The Indians shot at Sherk and severed a
lock of hair just above his ear. He was a fine rider however and able to shoot from his horse, which he kept going
at a running pace, until he out distanced his pursuers. Such were some of the experiences which the early settlers
had to endure. On the 10th of September 1878, Mr. Shaver went to Winnemucca with a band of cattle, proceeded
south to San Francisco. ret.. to Portland on "City of Chester", which broke her shaft of Nehalem River.
Note= No mention at all of Tom Dixon being killed!!!. Claude Short says Linc was wild; moaned over
tobacco in wagon; Tom went for it and got killed."

REMINISCENCES OF SOUTHERN OREGON PIONEERS
Carrie Luella Dixon, Dixonville, Oregon
A personal interview, October 14, 1938
Carrie Luella Dixon was born on Sunshine Ranch, Douglas County, Oregon on March 3, 1872.
Father --- Raphiel Benton Dixon (Rafe Dixon)
Mother --- Nancy Livingston
Brother and Sisters --- William Irving, James Thomas, Raphiel, Seth.
Married --- On May 10, 1899 to Robert Connor at Roseburg, Oregon
Children --- None
Miss Dixon's father, Raphiel (Rafe) Dixon, was born in Savannah, Missouri. He came across the plains in
1852 via the Old Oregon Trail and spent the first winter in the Waldo Hills near Salem, Oregon. In the spring of
1853 he went to Umpqua Valley and located on the old Dixon ranch on the North Umpqua River about ten miles
northwest of the present Rafe Dixon ranch at Dixonville. In the emigrant train coming across the plains with her
father, was her grandfather, James Dixon, who had made his first trip to Oregon in 1850, but had returned to
Missouri to get his family. James Dixon was the train captain. Plenty of plains Indians were seen but there was
no trouble with them as Captain Dixon had always tried to be fair and honest with them. He had the reputation of
being a very just man.
Carrie Dixon first went to school at Roseburg, Oregon at the age of six. She visited at the home of her
grandfather, Livingston, while schooling at Roseburg. Her first teacher was Miss Harriet Gilillard who later
married Gene Hanan. She next went to a school held at the ranch home of Mrs. Anna Short. There were six or
seven children in this school and the teacher was Miss Abbie Burt, an aunt of Mr. O. C. Brown of Roseburg,
Oregon. Then six years she went to the grade school located on the ranch of Rafe Dixon, her home, just east of
Dixonville. She later spent one year at the Wilbur Academy at Wilbur, Oregon. There were three teachers at the
Wilbur Academy; Henry Benson, later in life an Oregon Supreme Court Judge; Frank Benson, later Secretary of
State and then Governor of Oregon; and Miss Helen Holman of Salem, Oregon. Carrie Dixon next went to the
same school, which she formerly attended on the Rafe Dixon ranch at Dixonville, Oregon. Here she schooled for
six years and then returned to Roseburg where the late Bro. J. B. Horner was her teacher. She continued here for
two years until her mother's death in 1888 after which she returned to her home, which required her time and
attention.
Her father, Rafe Dixon, was a stockman, dealing in both cattle and sheep. He followed this work during his
entire life and an average of his annual operations in the stock line would be about 500 to 700 head of beef cattle
and from 2000 to 4000 head of sheep. He owned the home ranch of 2700 acres at Dixonville, and in addition he
rented acreage amounting to about 8000 acres, being the present ranches of George Kohlhagen, R. B. Oliver and
Mrs. Charles L. Beckley. The stock business was Rafe's life. He knew it from A to Z, and he made a success of
it. He was a frequent visitor at Roseburg where he was well known and had a host of friends. The town of
Dixonville was named in his honor.
The U. S. Forestry Service was first established in Douglas County, through the efforts of Hon. Binger
Hermann, of Roseburg, Oregon, at that time Land Commissioner at Washington, D. C.. Through the efforts of
Hon. Binger Hermann, Mr. Rafe Dixon was appointed the first Forest Supervisor of the Service at Roseburg,
Oregon. He held this office for about six years and resigned in order to better attend to his personal business. He
was succeeded by his Brother, Enos Dixon, who was later succeeded by S. C. Bartram. Rafe Dixon was in office
during the exciting days of the famous "land fraud cases" which prosecutions were under the guidance of Mr.
Heney, U. S. Prosecutor, who turned things upside down for months.
Carrie Dixon says that her father was considered a "crank" when it came to the management of his ranch.
During the record storm and high waters of 1861-62, his was the only ranch that did not suffer serious loss of
livestock by not having plenty of feed on hand to feed the stock. His barns were always filled with hay and grain
and his straw was always properly stacked. There was nothing lax or shiftless about Rafe. Every fall he would
"burn" his ranch and especially those places that needed it from bush or weed growth. His grazing land was
never allowed to deteriorate but was always kept right up to standard. When he burned the range, he would
employ plenty of help to control the fire and keep it from going out of bounds. He used every precaution and
effort to keep fires from getting beyond control and he never had any trouble from his burns.
Carrie Dixon says she has many memories of the old days on the home ranch, all of which were not of
pleasure. As a part of her ranch duties, of which every member of the Dixon family had his or her share, she took
the chief part in the drying of fruit for the winters use. Considering that they did not can or preserve, but used
mostly sun-dried fruit, and in great quantities for the large family and the hired help (which ate with family) it
was some big job. It included among other fruit, apples, plums, peaches, pears, blackberries, raspberries and
loganberries ---- bushels and bushels. First the fruit was all cleaned, then pared and sliced or prepared, all
handwork and her work, which would take hours and days of time. Then it had to be spread out on some clean
sheets or covers on the roofs of the surrounding low buildings and covered with mosquito netting or cheesecloth
to keep the flies and insects away. This was also hard work. Being on the roofs, gave it the heat and direct suns
rays and also kept it out of the dirt and dust below. The length of time of the drying varied and depended on the
weather. The fruit had to be examined often, watched carefully and turned when necessary, at least every other
day. There were no picnics or trips away from home and the fruit for the two or three weeks that the fruit was
being dried. Finally, when the fruit was properly cured, it was gathered and stored away for the winter's use.
Very little canning, preserving or jellying was done. The dried fruit was the main and almost only sweets that
they used for the table and for pies.
Another job that fell to her lot was the caring for the ash-hopper located out of doors to the rear of the ranch
home. In this hopper was first placed a bed of straw to act as a sieve for the lye water. Then oak ashes were
dumped into the hopper and when ready to operate it, water was pouted on top of the ashes and allowed to seep
through. She kept the ashes covered with water and saw to it that the resulting flow of lye water, which was the
main ingredient of the ranch soft soap, was collected. This soft soap was used in quantities all over the ranch and
in many ways. She says that no ranches bought "store soap". Any ranch woman who did not make her own soap
was considered a spendthrift open to criticism. All of this work was in addition to her regular house work and
cooking as well as the care of the chickens.
West of the present Dixon home is a small creek known as North Deer Creek, which runs across the Dixon
property. In the old days an Indian village was located on the Dixon ranch on this creek. It remained there as
long as the Indians were allowed to remain in the country. They were the Umpqua Indians and never bothered
the Dixons.
Religion was very deep-seated among the old settlers. The younger crowd were for dances and for a good
time, very much the same as are the youth of the present day. Miss Dixon says it was natural in those days as it is
at the present time for the older people to become more deeply interested in religious matters and the hereafter.
Youth had the dances and the gay times and the elders considered more serious things. She says the dances of the
younger set were usually held at schoolhouses but at times at the ranch houses. The schoolhouse known as the
North Deer Creek School was paid for entirely out of the proceeds of dances held there. She says the dances were
usually held on Friday night, ran all night and did not end till five o'clock or after Saturday morning. Talk about
night owls and nightclubs, the old time youngster also kept late hours. However, the "old-timer" kids did not
keep it up every night but only once in a reasonable while. They always had to work the next day.

Nancy (Copple) Sanders, both natives of Indiana. The father came to this county a single man in an early day and
married here .... bought a farm in Centralia township, which he sold and went to Missouri, where me remained a
short time, then came to Centralia township and bought a farm on which he lived until his death in 1855. Hes wife
died in 1854. They were the parents of 6 children, namely: Catherine, deceased; Charles C., our subject; John,
deceased; Samuel, Robert and the youngest child was a boy. The subject's parents died when he was small and he
went to live with John Thomas for three years in Centralia township, also three years with John McClelland, who

charge, but being a hard worker he developed a good home and a fine farm, about half of the place now being
cleared, on which highly productive land he raises corn, hay, apples, peaches, pears and much small fruit, and he
also raises some good horses, hogs and cattle, and carries on a general farming business with great success being a
good manager. He has always been a farmer, but he found time to operate a threshing machine for Twenty-seven
years and did a thriving business.

Notes for WILLIAM M. DIXON:
The following was taken form the "History of Nodaway County", copyright 1882
"William Dixon, section 13, post office Maryville, is among the old settlers and farmers of this vicinity. He is a
native of Fulton County, Illinois, and was born, December 6, 1837. At the age of one year he was taken by his
father's family to Andrew County, Missouri, where he was raised to manhood and educated, following his present
occupation. In 1846 he with the family emigrated to this county, where he has since resided. R. Dixon, the father of
the subject of this sketch, was an old pioneer of this county, and a man who closely identified with its interest from
an early date. Mr. William Dixon has 320 acres of land that will average with any in the county, 200 acres of which
are under cultivation. He was married in 1858 to Miss Sarah J. Burns. They have from this union the following
children: James C., Cyrildia J., Levander B., Celia E., and Owen W."
It seems William did not approve of the Civil War. As the story is that for over a year his family saw little of
him, as he hid out so he would not have to fight in the current war (Civil War). Apparently he was against slavery
as; number one he lived in Missouri, a slave state and didn't want to fight for something he didn't believe in, and
number two; at this point in time no records of slave ownership has been found. He supposedly would hide in attics,
barns, and places he felt safe, but only for short periods of time. Apparently he didn't feel they were safe enough.
Even his family didn't know where his current hiding place was."

Notes for JESSE DIXON:
April 09, 2003
Hi,
I want to introduce myself to you, I am a 3rd great grandaughter of Raphiel. Traced back through my grandmother,
Iva Lora Dixon Porter, her father James Obed Dixon son of Jesse Dixon, son of Raphiel. I have been trying to locate
more information on Raphiel since '99 but haven't spent all my time at this. I skip several weeks to months at a time
working on this project.
A Dixon cousin Selma Dixon Vantrease gave me a bible 2 years ago at a family reunion that belonged to Raphiel
and that started my interest in locating that family line. James Obed died young and his widow remarried and moved
to Sunnyside Wa. from Asotin Wa. and most of the Dixon family history was lost to us as my grandmother was
pretty young. We have in the last 5 years however reestablished the family connections with some of our remaining
Dixon relation and since that time it has become more of a challenge to find more stories and history.
I have photos of Jesse and his wife Belle and have traced them back through a story written by his sons on the move
west from Levanworth Ks. to Wa. State in 1883. The story was rewritten by a cousin's husband and they have
several pictures of the family on the Wa. homestead.
I moved from Or. to Mt. in 98 having lived in and around the Salem area for 32 years moving to Or. in 70 from
Prosser, Wa where I was born and raised. However all my family history seems to come from the southern states of
Mo., Ks. and Ark. I have traced out several lines on our family and now and was drawing a blank on the Dixon. So I
was really excited to find your information available. The whole history is fantastic and especially the picture. I had
sent in some information several years ago to Family Tree Maker while still in Or. and will add what I have learned
as I can get to it. Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know who we are. When I get all this data into the
treemaker I'll run a copy and send to you too. Not that it will add anything except to let know of another branch of
the family.
Most sincerely,

Subject: Re: Raphiel Dixon

All I can say is I was glad to learn that the Dixon's weren't horse thieves or worse! We knew nothing about any of
them. We haven't spent nearly that amount of time on the family history but wish we'd had the presence of mind to
ask more questions as we were growing up. We have lots on my Granpa Porter's family and my mom's family and
that is funny that you should ask about the Quantrill. My mother was a Cantrell on her father's side and Keck on her
mother's side and we have heard stories that Quantrill was really a Cantrell but changed his name to protect his
family. One of my mothers great grandmothers was a sister to Ike Clanton & his brother's. So perhaps our family
lines are closer than I may want to know about?
My Granpa Poter was born in Cassville, Mo. and there are still family living there I think. My cousin on that side did
most of the family history and another printed up huge notebooks to current times so I've tried to do that with all of
the lines. The Dixon book is definately thinnest.
I don't have a website on Family Treemaker but did send them a copy of our history when we first got a computer
years ago. My daughter had found she could purchase a disc with our info on after my computer crashed about 5
years ago and the copies that I'd made hadn't transferred the data. I was in the process of sorting all the hard copy
info out to start all over again when she saved the day for me and sent me a good copy she'd bought. She wasn't into
the history when I did the first round and didn't realize I'd submitted it to FTM to begin with. Anyway, I have never
checked to see where our information might be located or even if it is accessible. I knew nothing of the Dixon's at
that time. About a year ago I did discover the lead to Thomas Dixon from the Mallory connection and traced that as
far as I could and my sister had something on George lll that she sent. My memory isn't all that good when it comes
to all the facts and figures. But I'll check on the FTM to see if our info is available if not I'll make a disc for and send
it by mail.
I love the old stories of their life as they moved and have visited the homestead area in the Palouse country where
Jesse's family settled. Selma is a daughter of Russell, my grandpa James brother and still lives in Clarkston altho her
health is not very good. She's the one who gave me the bible and sent stories from her memories of her Aunt May.
She gave me several pictures also of the family on the homestead and her son still uses Jesse's cabin for hunting
altho they no longer own the property. If you have a map of Wa. State. locate Asotin & Anatone right off the far
right hand corner near the Id. border on the Snake River Canyon. the original homestead is located on the bluff over
looking the river. Wild Country to be sure even now.
Now to myself. I was born in Sunnyside Wa. in 1947 and lived all my life there until 1969 when Dick and I moved
with my three sisters to Salem. Our son was 17 months old at that time. We lived in and around Salem for the next
32 years and when he retired we moved here to Charlo. We have 500 acres we raise hay and cattle on. I have a few
Suffolk Sheep that I raise to show and sell breeding stock. (I was really happy to read the sheep were a part of the
Dixon family as I know I inherited my love for them from someone way back!) I like the cows too but find the sheep
much easier to handle. We have two children, a son and a daughter and then our precious only grandaughter. Our
son is single and too lives in Salem but we really haven't much contact with him. Our daughter Deanine and
grandaughter visit often and we travel over there too but never as much as I'd like. One sister, Barbara and her
family also live there and the youngest siter Becki and her husband just moved to Seaside Or. Then Susan and her
sons live in Auburn Wa. up close to Seattle.
I sure wish that we had known the info on Dixonville when I lived over there as it was only a two hour drive to
Roseburg. But when I sent the information from you to the girls last nite I made a promise that I will come over to
gather them all up and drive to Roseburg and check this out. It is really a shame that history is lost because of the
disregard others show. So Sad!
I'd be glad to hear from any other Dixons too. I will write and continue to share with my sister's and Selma. I haven't
heard from her in several weeks but will be excited to hear her reaction when she learns all this. I will check out the
FTM site right now to see what is there and let you know. Mostly if you have any other stories to share please do so.
And thanks again.
Most sincerely a new cousin!

HI,
Received an email last from my youngest Sister Becki and she remembers that a cousin of ours sent info on Celia
and Joseph VanHorn had something to do with Jesse James and Quantrill but she has to find her discs which are in
storage from her recent move (she's inspired to locate them now tho)( and I may yet run across a printed email with
that info) and said that Quantrill was a distant cousin to the Cantrells on my mothers side but had changed the name
to the French spelling to avoid shame to his mother. (something else to check out I think). But she is positive too
that we succeeded in locating a good share of the information. After I emailed you last nite I started thinking about
some backup disc's I had made off the old computer before it crashed and wondered if I might be able to open them.
Successful at that too. When I opened it all of the info went right into the new version of Family Treemaker that I
had put on the computer about a year ago and didn't follow up on. What I will do is finish the most recent additions
to our family (my sisters grandchildren) and make a disc for you as well as copy off the story of the move to
Washinton in 1883 of Jesse's family and the pictures of them that I have and just mail to you. Might take me a week
or so to complete it all as we are still calving and getting ready to do the spring field work but I will do it for you. A
cousin of ours on the Virgin side wanted to info on my grandmothers brothers and sisters which I hadn't been able to
find til last nite also so will do a disc for him also. I think if we ever get a chance to visit Mo. again we will
definately would like to meet all of you if possible. Dick's family has been after us to make a visit back to St. Jo. but
hard to take off enough time to make a worthwhile visit. I would love to see the farm and area they lived in there.
One thing that puzzle's me is why they all got the wandering fever and left established producing farms to come to
the Palouse country to resettle and start all over again. I'd really like to know the reasons behind that. I can see
Raphiel leaving to avoid the war situation however in that time even a move from Mo. to Nebraska would of been a
huge undertaking. Which also brings to mind your reference to his leaving some of the family and Susannah in Mo.
Do you know which children he left and which he took with him? I tried to find his name on a census but wasn't able
to locate anything in Nebraska on any of them. Until I found Jesse's family in 1880 in Levanworth Ks. a year or so
ago. I am making a copy of your family information and passing it on to the sisters too. But definally will stay in
touch. Don't give up on me I never put my shoebox of family very far from the computer. Take Care. Dianna

Notes for MARY BELL COPPLE:
OBITUARY = MARY BELL COPPLE
Mary Bell Copple McBane was born in Shelby County, Indian, February 18, 1865 and died at Glasco, Kansas April
17, 1922, aged 57 years, 1 month and 20 days.
She was untied in marriage to George McBane February 8, 1881. To this union 7 children were born Pearle Lee
McBane of Miltonvale, Albert Carey McBane of El Dorado, Richard Ora McBane of Miltonvale, Mrs. Hallie Lappel
of Glasco, Mrs. Nellie Giesecke of Delphos, Perry William McBane of Glasco and John Franklin McBane of
Glasco.
Mr. and Mrs. McBane and family moved from Indiana to Kansas in February 1880. They have resided in the

Stonewall Jackson Chenoweth, Oakland, Oregon
A Person interview, October 6, 1938
Stonewall Jackson Chenoweth was born on the old family homestead on the North Umpqua, June 3, 1863.
Father --- John Chenoweth, born in Virginia
Mother --- Malinda Dixon, born in Missouri
Brother and Sister --- James H., William S., George M., Creed L., Nancy E., Rebecca A., Samuel.
Married --- On June 28, 1887 at Oakland, to Mary Ann Hall.
Children --- George H., Ethel M., Rachel E., John V., Creed L., Jane M., Ethelyn M.
The father of Stonewall Jackson Chenoweth crossed the plains by ox-wagon in 1852, with no unusual incident,
and spent the first winter in the Willamette Valley near Eugene, Oregon. There was no trouble with the Indians
either on the plains or after arrival in Oregon. Plenty were seen, but they were peaceful and even friendly in their
attitude towards the settlers.
"Jack" Chenoweth started to school at Oak Creek, riding three miles to school every day. There was only one
room in the schoolhouse and about thirty pupils attended. The teacher was James Harpham, father of V. V.
Harpham, present U. S. Forest Supervisor. When twelve years of age Mr. Chenoweth went to the Wilbur Academy
at Wilbur. Professor Grubbe, a little man with a bald head, was in charge. He and his wife, who also taught in
Wilbur, were very fine teachers. There were four teachers in this school, famous throughout Oregon. Jack
Chenoweth went to Wilbur for three years. The teacher at Oakland was Mr. Russell. Later he returned to Wilbur
for a final year of schooling, after which he became a rancher.
In 1853 his father bought a homestead of 160 acres, located on the North Umpqua River buying also an
adjoining acreage, the Mills Place, making a total acreage of abut 1600 acres in one block, which is now known as
the George Kohlhagen #55 Ranch.
Jack Chenoweth first bought the John Canady place of 750 acres located northwest of Oakland in the Rice Hill
district. He later sold it and bought, in partnership with her brother, William S., 1200 acres adjoining the town of
Wilbur and known as the Benjamin Grubb place. He held this ranch for twenty years, then sold it. In 1905 he went
into the sheep business and rented range for the sheep. He rented the Thomas place, 1600 acres, about ten miles east
of Oakland. He usually ran about 400 head of breeding ewes and raised annually about that number of lambs.
These he marketed each year at an average price of $4.00 per lamb. Wool averaged about six pounds to the ewe and
sold on an average of twenty-five cents per pound. He followed this business till 1917 then sold it and moved to
Lakeland, Oregon, where he bought a home and retired from active business.
Mr. Jack Chenoweth came in contact with many Indians who he studied very closely. He noticed that many
white men took squaws for wives. Never did a full blood Indian marry a white woman or a "breed", at least, never
to his knowledge. He says that there were two reasons for the early settlers marrying squaws or "breeds". One was
that a married man could get 640 acres on a Donation Land Claim whereas a single man could only get 320 acres.
Again there were so comparatively few white women available, so it was often a case of take a squaw or stay single.
This resulted in a large number of "breed" Indians.
The Indians were originally very strong and hardy. They were an out-door race, and no people were more
rugged in their natural state. This continued as long as they did not intermarry with the whites. When they did this,
the full blood mother would not be any the less healthier, but the off-spring would immediately show indications of
weak lungs and this tendency would continue on to the quarter, and eighth, and even lesser breeds. This is the
reason there has been so much lung and tubercular trouble among Indian "breeds". This trouble did not exist among
the full-bloods, which shows that it was not caused by changes in the living and eating habits which were more or
less adopted from the white men, but was a result of inter-marriage between the Indians and the whites, which is
now prohibited by law. The same condition existed in Canada where the French Canadians intermarried with the
Northern Indians.
He says that the Indians were very fond of whiskey, much more so than the white men, although some of the
latter developed a full sized thirst at time. He says that the Indians ordinarily were very peaceful, and about the only
time they wanted to fight was when under the influence of too much liquor. The Indians, as well as the whites,
voted to all elections, or rather, they were assisted in voting by the whites, usually for a consideration of one or more
drinks --- never any money. The Indians could not read a ballot, so some white friend would show them how to
vote. The Indians secured more fun out of an election than anyone else -- this was a holiday for them... Mr.
Chenoweth claims the Indians always voted the Republican ticket as the Republicans owned all the whiskey.

Obituary of Raphael Seth Dixon
Raphael Seth Dixon, 75, Klamath Falls, prominent Oregon cattleman, a native of Douglas County, died Monday at a
hospital in San Francisco, according to word received in Roseburg by relatives. He reportedly was hospitalized for
treatment of a rare disease.
Born in Douglas County, he spent the greater part of his active life in Klamath County.
Funeral services are scheduled at 10 A.M. Thursday in the Klamath Falls Presbyterian Church. Grave side services
will be held at 4 P.M. at Roseburg Memorial Gardens. Wilson's Chapel of the Roses is in charge of local
arrangements.
Dixon was a native of Dixonville near Roseburg, named for his father R. B. Dixon, who had also been a prominent
Oregon stockman. R. B. and his wife, Nancy Livingston, came West to Oregon by wagon train.
Seth Dixon was educated in public schools at Roseburg and San Francisco and later migrated to Arizona to work on
a sheep ranch. For a time, after returning to Crook County, he operated a ranch for a brother and in 1902 went into
the cattle business himself. He later accumulated large ranch holdings in Klamath and Crook counties.
He served many times as judge for horse shows at the California State Fair and elsewhere. He was a member of the
Pendleton Round-up Association, Masonic bodies and an honorary pioneer member of the Wood River Pioneers
and Old timers.
Dixon was born Nov. 11, 1886, and was a veteran of World War I.
Surviving are his wife, Constance; a daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Popson of Covina, Calf.; two cousins, Mrs. Jess
Shambrook and Mrs. A. E. Kent of Roseburg; and a niece, Mrs. Worth Davis of Roseburg.
Take from the "History of Klamath County, Oregon, 1941, page 337
RAPHAEL SETH DIXON
Among the interesting characters of the Klamath Basin, who have been more or less prominent in the development
of the entire pacific slope region, Raphael Seth Dixon holds a prominent position. A native of Roseburg, Oregon, he
was born November 12, 1886, of pioneer stock who braved the dangers of the wilderness to reach the Pacific Coast
by wagon train more than eighty years ago. His father, R. B. Dixon, born in Missouri in 1846, was until his death a
prominent cattleman of eastern Oregon, his operations extending from Fort Klamath to Crook County. His mother,
Nancy Livingston, was born in 1854.
Educated in the public schools of Roseburg, Oregon, and San Francisco, California, Raphael Seth Dixon as a young
man migrated to Arizona to accept employment on a sheep ranch. Upon his return to Crook County he was engaged
by a brother to operate a ranch which the latter had purchased. In 1902 in order to run cattle for himself he
relinquished his job with the brother and operated in several places in this State during the next four years. From
1906 to 1919 he was back in Crook County operating with his brother. During a five months period toward the end
of the World War, he was stationed at Camp Lewis. When he was mustered out of the army he returned to Klamath
County and with his brother commenced buying land. At the present time they own 3400 acres of deeded lands in
this county, in addition to a large acreage of leased properties and the Crook County ranch which they own. All is
principally devoted to cattle and pasturage which they lease to other cattlemen.
Mr. Dixon was twice married, first in 1913 to Miss Fay Baldwin of Prineville. She died, leaving one daughter,
Dorothy B. Dixon, born in Portland, December 12, 1919, and recent graduate of the University of California, at
Berkeley.
His second marriage took place at Fort Klamath in 1923, and untied him with Miss Constance Noe, born in San
Francisco May 12, 1900, descendant of an early California family which traces its ancestry to Castile. Her father

mother, Mary Campbell, born in San Francisco, May 5, 1859, died in Oakland in 1939.
Mr. Dixon is a very active and energetic man who is found about his ranch every day doing a man's work, for he
cannot tolerate idleness. A remarkable personality, he was for many years intensely interested in the production of
the Pendleton, Oregon Round Up, and other rodeo entertainments as far east as Cheyenne, Wyoming. He is a strong
Republican in politics and fraternally is affiliated with the Masonic Lodge in Prineville as well as the Scottish Rite

JAMES BOWMAN DIXON
The earliest recollection of James Bowman Dixon center on the stock business in Oregon, for he was born on his
father's dairy and stock ranch on December 30, 1877, the son of Riley and Mary Dixon, natives of Missouri and
Oregon respectively, the former born in 1849 and died in 1934, and the latter born in 1860 and died in 1936. One of
a family of seven children, Mr. Dixon attended the public schools in Douglas County and grew up on the home
ranch assisting his father with the work, remaining there and in Roseburg until 1907. He then came to Klamath
County and at Fort Klamath entered the cattle business, renting land on which to run his stock. He bought and sold
feeders successfully until 1915, then moved on his present home ranch that he had purchased. It comprised 314
acres and after operating it for a time, he traded for more land and now has 500 acres of natural meadow and hay
land, milks about thirty cows, supplying the demand at Bly and shipping his cream to Klamath Falls. Since settling
here Mr. Dixon has seen many changes, with the county developing from its primitive condition to prosperous
ranches and thriving villages, and Klamath Falls growing from a few hundred people to a live metropolis.
On February 16, 1911, occurred the wedding united James Bowman Dixon and Veda Mulkey. She was born in
Pleasant Hill, Oregon, on March 15, 1885, and is a daughter of Isaac Newton and Sarah (Randolph) Mulkey, who
reared seven children of whom Mrs. Dixon is the only resident in this county. Her father was born in Kentucky,
February 9, 1840, and died in Pleasant Hill, March 26, 1917. Isaac Newton Mulkey was a minister of the Christian
Church, taking his first pastorate at Pleasant Hill when he was 30 years old and continuing in the ministerial work
until his death. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows for 35 years at Springfield, Oregon.
Mrs. Mulkey was born in Indiana, July 12, 1846, and died at Pleasant Hill, April 2, 1923. She was an active
helpmate to her husband and beloved by all. Mr. and Mrs. James B. Dixon have three children: Ella Jean, born in
Merrill, March 7, 1912, married Lester Tibbits and they have three children, Veda Grace, Marie Jean, and Nancy;
Mary Frances, born in Pleasant Hill, June 11, 1918, is now the wife of Jerald Baker; Marjorie Dixon, born in
Klamath Falls, April 13, 1920. Mrs. Dixon takes an active interest in women's organizations in her section of the
county and is active in church circles, in fact takes an active leadership in all lines of activity where women are
concerned. She belongs to the Parent-Teachers' Association, Home Economics, Unit, is chairman of the Women's
Sewing club, is past lecturer and now chaplain of the Bly Grange, having served as pianist of the Grange since its
organization. Mrs. Dixon taught the piano in Giliam county, Oregon, before her marriage. She also taught music

The following is a copy of a newspaper clipping:
"Menacing Dangers of Stobuck Hole Near Honey Creek Retold
Dick O'Howell and Simon Dixon Recall That Team and Stone Wagon Disappeared -- That It Was Used for
Baptismals.
Stobuck Hole, grim and menacing in legend but today only another hole of water dammed up by a rock ledge in
Honey Creek in Orrsburg neighborhood, was recalled this week by these two men, Dick O'Howell, left 81 years old,
owner of the land on which the hole is located, and Simon Dixon, right, 75 years old, son of the former owner of the
land.
Stobuck Hole, which got its name after a team of horses, hitched to a stone wagon, disappeared in its center, is
located about 250 yards northeast of O'Howell's house, east of Orrsburg. At one time, it was about 100 yards long,
and shoaling off from the rim to a depth once measured at 22 feet. It was when it was at this condition that John
Stobuck (some say it is spelled Stobaugh) misjudged the depth of the water, drove his team into the hole and
escaped with only his own life.
Fills Up With Silt
Years later, legend has it, the front bolster of the wagon was either washed out or brought out by drivers but the
horses and rear portion of the wagon were forever lost.
At the present time, the hole has been filled up with silt so that it is no longer the deep, menacing freak of nature -- a
hole through the bedrock.
But at the time Simon Dixon was a boy it was a swirling, menacing body of water entered only by the most intrepid
divers. Along the rim, however, the congregation of the Frontier Baptist Church at Orrsburg often gathered to
witness baptismals, often in the dead of winter. In the summer months, persons building homes often came to get
stone for foundations. It was in this occupation that Stobuck had come when he made the fateful mistake that
inscribed his name in the legend of the community.
Remembers Lanning Mill
Dixon, who is the son of the late William ("Uncle Billy") Dixon, came to the farm with his parents in 1869.
Seventy-five years old Wednesday, He can recall trips to the old Lanning Mill, a few miles south, with wheat to be
ground and remembers one time when a lone Indain brave called at their home. The Indian pushed the door open
and walked in, Dixon said, and muttered: "Me hungry." "Wash up and pull a chair to the table,," Mrs. Dixon said.
"Me sit on floor," the brave answered. "You'll get nothing to eat in this house until you wash and sit in a chair at the
table," Mrs. Dixon said and the Indian acquiesced.
Know as Strong Man
Dick O'Howell, 81 years old, who married Dixon's sister, and has lived on the same farm the last 58 years years, was
known, in his prime, as one of the strongest men in the community. He used to lift barrels of salt over the sideboard
of his wagon, he said, never bothering to take down the end gate of the wagon and ease in the 280-pound barrels.
"It looks foolish now," he said.
When he was in his prime, he said, he weighed 240 pounds and stood six feet tall. He could work all day and never
feel tired, he said. He lost his sight 48 years ago following an attack of measles and since that time has been forced
to manage his farm and do chores around the place. Early this summer, while he was out driving, his horse dropped
dead in the shafts after it had been led past a tractor."

Notes for MARY ANN SMITH:
GRANDMA HILL, PIONEER OF WESTLAKE IDAHO ANSWERS SUMMON
Mrs. Mary Ann Hill, Pioneer resident of Ferdinand and Westlake, Idaho, who would have celebrated her 100
birthday December 27th, passed away at her home near Westlake, Sunday night October 3, 1943 following a very
short illness.
She had been confined to her bed only one week prior to her death and was conscious almost to the end.
Mary Ann (Smith) Hill was born December 27, 1844. Her mother passed away when Mary Ann was 8 years of age.
In 1851, her father Matthew Smith went to Oregon, and in 1862 or there about, she came to Oregon with her sister
Sarah and brother David. They had stayed with their grandparents Noah and Catherine (Copple) Garren in Iowa,
when Matthew headed for Oregon Territory.
Matthew Smith settled near Eugene, Oregon, and the place was soon called Smithville (Smithfield?) Oregon in his
honor, but was later changed to Franklin, Oregon.
On February 18, 1866 Mary Ann married William Harris Hill at the home of her father Matthew Smith. Wedding
was done by Leder L. C. Richard, the witnesses were Alexander Weld and William Driskell.
To this union, eight children were born. Four of whom proceeded their mother (Mary Ann) in death. They were
George, Harry, Jack and Ida.
Grandma Hill was known to her many friends as a true friend and a true pioneer in spirit. She enjoyed the frontier
life and was know for her many kind deeds. Always extending a helping hand to those in need.
In 1809, four years after the opening of the Nes Perce Reservation and Seven years after the death of her husband,
grandma Hill moved to Idaho with her children where she settled on a homestead which she maintained her home
for the next 44 years.
Surviving relatives includes three sons, Dan, Cleve (Grover Cleveland) of Westlake, Idaho and Reuben of Moses
Lake, Washington and one daughter Martha Jane (Hill) Gray of Spokane, Washington. Besides her four children,
she is survived by 44 grandchildren, 58 great grandchildren, and 7 great great grandchildren, representing 113 living
descendants, and 5 generations.
Among the descendants a number of her grandsons and great grandsons are now serving in the Armer Forces.
During her long and useful life, grandma Hill saw much of the development of the United States. She was born the
year of the administration of President Tyler, a time when there was an intense Anti Slavery agitation. Texas was
annexed to the United States when grandma Hill was a child of 2 years old, the year of 1846. The Mexican War
ended when she was 4 years old in 1848. She was untied in marriage the year the Civil War ended in 1866. She
often talked of Lincoln, as he was inaugurated President in 1861.
In her long and active life in the far west, grandma Hill has seen the country develop from a primitive state, to one of
the most productive and highly active area of the nations.
Funeral service for Grandma Hill were conducted Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock October 6, 1943 at the
Westlake Church, with The Rev. Claude A. Brown officiating. Interment was in the Morrowtown Cemetery.

Notes for BETTYJANE DIXON:
The following comes from "The News-Review Umpqua Edition" - February 21, 1982, written by Dennis Roler.
"PIONEERING WOMAN FASCINATING BLEND OF GENTEEL, TOUGH
Bettyjane David of Roseburg is a product of opposite ends of the Douglas County pioneer spectrum: The genteel
Parrots and the rough-and-ready Dixons.
Just as the Parrots and Dixons left their names and marks on the Roseburg area, so did they school Mrs. Davis in
being a lady on one hand and brand her with independence on the other.
Two of her ambitions as a girl were to see an opera and to sit at the men's table during the noon break from threshing
the Dixons' hundreds of acres of grain east of Roseburg.
She did both, as well as carving out small niches for herself in the male-dominated fields of agriculture and science
at a time when college girls still needed a permit to wear pants on campus.
Born April 3, 1918, she is the daughter of teacher Mary Hazel Jewett and rancher Thomas E. Dixon.
On her mother's side, "BJ," as friends call her, is the great great granddaughter of William Howard, who settled in
Roseburg in 1852.
Moses Parrott, one of Howard's drivers, married one of Howard's daughters when she was but 13 years old. By
marrying her, he was eligible for a homestead of 640 acres, compared to the 320 acres he could have gotten as a
single man.
Much of the south end of Roseburg is built on Parrott's original homestead.
The Dixon clan, led by James Boman Dixon, moved into Douglas County from the Willamette Valley in 1853.
Dixon had left Missouri two years earlier trying to stay away from the imminent Civil War.
The Dixons settled in Sunshine Valley nine miles northeast of Roseburg and eventually spread to the area just east
of Roseburg which is now know as Dixonville.
Mrs. Davis spent her first years on the family's 1,600-acre ranch in sunshine Valley, but moved to town with her
mother when her father died of cancer in 1925.
Every week she'd travel with her mother to "The House," the Parrott Mansion near the south entrance to Roseburg,
for dinner. The Dixons also invited the two out frequently.
"My mother's family was for correct posture, correct grammar. I was only allowed to play with the children of
certain families," she said.
"On the other hand, we'd go out and stay with my father's cousins, who had the Dixon view - women should be a
good shot, clean their own guns and be independent. I can still skin out an animal."
"It was a very sharp contrast rearing. I always say I was reared, because that's the correct word. You raise animals.
You rear children."
Mrs. Davis' mother resumed teaching to support herself and her daughter after the death of her husband, instructing
students at old Benson School on Casper Street where the Umpqua Health and Racquetball Club now stands.
She also had brief teaching stints at Newberg and Portland.
Mrs. Davis graduated from Roseburg High School and spent the next school year at the Catholic girls' college near
San Francisco, where she was surrounded by the cultural advantages offered by an aunt on the Parrot side.
Her aunt was married to an executive with the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain whose guests that year, Mrs. Davis
recalled, included actress Helen Hayes and explorer Admiral Richard Byrd.
It was during this one-year dip into culture that Mrs. Davis saw an opera.
The Dixon heritage, however, also was tugging at her, and she spent the next year at Oregon State University in
agriculture. Most of that year she was the only woman in the School of Agriculture.
As part of her agriculture duties, she walked across campus to the school's barns each morning to do clean up work.
A simple enough chore today, but one which produced a confrontation with school officials of the late 1930s.
"I couldn't clean out a poultry cage or ride a horse in a shirt, both because they (dresses) wouldn't stand up and for
decency's sake. So I got myself a pair of brown slacks that didn't look too bad."
Women in pants were prohibited on the OSU campus, however, so the campus, however, so the campus police
stopped her and sent her to the dean, who gave her a permit to wear pants on her way to and from the barns.
It was one of many times Mrs. Davis felt the constraints of being a woman in a man's society. Pressure from aunts
on the Parrott side, in fact; pushed Mrs. Davis out of agriculture. But the Dixon side wouldn't let retreat far.
"I ended up teaching science, which was just about as far out as agriculture at that time, but they (the aunts) didn't
know it. When I first went to science teachers' conventions and other meetings, I was the only woman there for
years and years."
It was one summer between her college years when she managed to eat at the same table as the threshing crew
bringing in the Dixon harvest. She was the only woman at the table that day.
Before that she's been placed at another table and made to clean up after the resting men, even though she'd worked
alongside them in the heat and dust of the morning.
After Mrs. Davis graduated from OSU in 1940, she taught one year in Gervais, about 12 miles northeast of Salem,
and five months in the farming community of Dayville in Central Oregon where she was "a howling success."
"I was a howling success there not because I was a great teacher, but because I could ride a horse and I knew a steer
from a bull when I saw one."
In between Gervais and Dayville, she eloped and married DeLa Worth Edison Davis, "Worth," a railroad fireman
she knew from her Roseburg school days.
They eloped, Mrs. Davis said, because she feared her aunts wouldn't approve of Worth and because her mother
didn't want her to marry at all - "She tried to impress on me it was my duty to stay single and take care of her."
For the eight years Davis worked for the railroad, the couple moved frequently, living in Klamath Falls, Albany,
Eugene, Oakridge and Roseburg.
They spent the next five years ranching in Sunshine Valley and rearing their two girls and two boys. Mrs. Davis
taught part-time and ran the sheep end of the ranch.
"The shearing crew way quite upset that I ran the shearing and Worth cooked the meal," she recalled. "They were
better off, though. Worth was a much better cook than I was."
Over those five years, Worth's health deteriorated. He'd had back problems even before the couple was married, and
it developed into severe arthritis complicated by diabetes.
The family moved into town and Mrs. Davis went back to teaching in 1956 to support the family. Her husband's
need for more and more care meant lifting and hours of work after school was out.
As his health declined, the medical bills shot upward. In 1961, the bills and Davis' declining health split the family.
"I had to divorce him in order to get care for him," Mrs. Davis said. "I made too much money to get him help and
my insurance company refused to cover him anymore. Plus I was physically and mentally exhausted. Emotionally I
was numb."
Davis died 10 years later at age 53. During the 10 years they were divorced, the two lived in different houses and
saw each other periodically.
Mrs. Davis taught remedial reading, social studied and science in the Winston-Dillard School District from 1956 to
1969, when she quit to take a job overseas.
The teaching job abroad fell through, however, and she ended up in a California town a stone's throw from the
Mexican border. But this job lasted only one year.
"I decided to quit when I looked in the shade outside my landlady's window and saw it was 122 degrees on my
birthday, which in April 3," she said.
From California she went back to Douglas County for a year for a year and then to The Dalles where she taught
special education for seven years. A playground accident forced her early retirement in 1977.
Mrs. Davis said she was hit by a tire dumped at the school for use in an obstacle course. One tire got away from a
student who was playing with it, rolled down a hill and hit her in the legs.
The tire knocked her down and stretched ligaments in her leg. Due to the accident, she can't lift her legs more than a
few inches and has to use a special stairway to enter her mobile home in north Roseburg.
Although she was a maverick for her times, Mrs. Davis said she doesn't consider herself a "woman's libber."
Women, due to their physical limits, can present hazards to themselves and others in certain are as - police work,
boy's football, etc., she said.
But women, she said, should be paid the same wages for the same job and have equal access to credit.
Mrs. Davis' mobile home is usually cluttered - "I've always got 10 things more interesting than house cleaning" - and
piles of books and documents about her relatives can be found with a little digging.
Land grants signed by Abraham Lincoln and pictures of distant relatives help document her ancestors' more than
125 years in Douglas County.
Her favorite artifact, she said, is the thumbnail historical sketch her great-grandfather James Dixon wrote in the
Bibles he gave as wedding gifts to his daughters.
In his brief history, he said her arrived in Douglas County with "a blooded stud, two mare, my wife and 13
children."
"At least Grandmother Dixon knew just where she stood," said Mrs. Davis, laughing."

The following is a copy of an article printed in the Parnell Review newspaper dated July 30, 1925.
Saturday July 11th as Mrs. Daily Foster started on her motor trip quite a number met at Krug Park, St. Joe for a
great dinner which consisted of fried chicken, sandwiches, pickled tomatoes, cheese, bread and butter pickles,
cakes, cookies, fruits, potato chips, ice tea, and good old Nodaway County water. The party consisted of Mrs. Daily
Foster and daughter, Mrs. Ella Willhite, Aura McKee, Mr. and Mrs. Roe Elkins and son of Parnell, Mrs. Grace Kelly
and daughter, Alice Rae Nickles, Mrs. Avis McKee and four children and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Baublits and two
children of St. Joseph. After spending a few hours visiting all departed their way feeling they had all enjoyed a
pleasant time.
The following is a copy of an article printed in the Parnell Review newspaper dated August 20, 1925. Article listed
under OXFORD ITEMS.
Ouray Colo.,
Dear Folks:
Will write a letter this beautiful morning. We are all feeling fine and having the best of time. We are now at a
ranch eleven miles from Ouray. We met some people that used to live at Clinton, MO. They are sure nice people
and want us to stay here for a visit and go fishing and ride horseback. They have lived here for several years. Just
now people are putting up hay. They irrigate this valley and the timothy is very heavy. Sunday we took our dinner
and drove South of Ouray away up in the mountains about Bear Creek Falls. I saw a den of ground hogs. Ella had
her Kodak but the sun was under the clouds most of the time and I do not look for the pictures to be very plain. The
Bear Creek Falls is a wonderful sight. A large stream of water comes out under a bridge away up on a mountainside
and falls 253 feet. It throws a spray far over on the rocks on either side and tall pines grow up from the bottom of
the Canyon. Ouray is the most beautiful scenery I have seen yet. It is a little mining town surrounded by the most
beautiful mountains I ever looked at. They are solid rock of every color. A road leads into town from the North and
there are springs lead out of the mountainside and they have built fish ponds and an alligator point in the valley near
a baseball ground and a tourist park. There are millions of gold, silver and spotted fish and two alligators live in the
warm water the year round and it never freezes in the winter. Frances took off her shoes and put her feet in the
warm water. You should see it to realize how pretty it all is. I would like to spend a whole summer at Ouray. It is
pronounce Wray and named it for some great Indian. I am not nervous or afraid to drive in the mountains as the
roads are hard and graveled and they always slant in toward the wall. Last night we went to a neighbor ranchman,
an old man from Kentucky. They were very clever, his wife used to be a Mormon and he has lots of cattle.
The people are certainly clever and friendly, and glad to see a fellow -- several around here from near
Springfield, MO. They all say they would not live back there at all, after living out here. Montrose is a beautiful
town, such heavy grain, hay and fruit crops there; it is lower in the valley, about 25 miles from here -- the prettiest
flowers I ever saw.
I wish you had some of these fine apricots they are as large as seedling peaches there.
Write me at Ouray, Colorado; will be around there for a while it's too fine a place to leave.
Love to all,
Daily
The above letter was received by Mrs. J. T. O'Howell from her daughter, Mrs. Daily Foster who is now touring
the West.

241. WILLIAM DUANE10 DIXON (WILLIAM M.9, LEANDER BENTON8, WILLIAM M.7, LUCINDA6 COPPLE, PHILLIP5,
WILLIAM4, NICHOLAS3, MICHAEL2, NICHOLAS1) was born June 10, 1943 in Ravenwood, Nodaway Co., MO. He
married DENNISE EILEEN ROODE June 5, 1965 in Fairbury, NE, daughter of JOHN ROODE and EILEEN MESSENGER.
She was born March 12, 1945 in Fairbury, NE.
Notes for WILLIAM DUANE DIXON:
When Duane was about the age of 10 or 11 he had Polio. However, it was not known until he was in high school.
While getting a sports physical the doctor informed Duane's mother that he had had Polio. Thinking back it was
realized that at the age of 10 or 11 there was a time when he was very ill, but it was thought, at the time, that it was
the flu or some similar illness. He had run a very high temperature and was hallucinating. This would have been in
1953 or 1954. It left him with one side of his chest less developed than the other.
