p. 241 - James Harvey DAY, residing on section 35, Marion Township, was born in New London, Iowa, Jan. 19, 1855. His father, Ransom Day, is a native of Logan County, Ohio, and his mother, Rachel (Cox) Day, is a native of Canada. They emigrated to Henry County about 1848, settling in New London, where he was engaged in carpenter work, which trade he had learned as a young man and still follows. When James was but an infant his parents removed to the city of Des Moines, where they resided for two years, then going to Augusta, Des Moines County, they made that place their home until 1869, when they removed to Marshall.
When a lad of fourteen years, James Day went to Mt. Pleasant, where he was employed in a brickyard as one of the burners, working in that yard until 1874, and at last had charge of a kiln. Going to Fairfield, he worked in that city during the summer of 1874 as foreman of a brickyard. Returning to Mt. Pleasant, he was again engaged in the old brickyard, working until 1878, when he went to Wilber, Neb., where he worked at his trade for a short time, but soon returned to Mt. Pleasant. In 1879 Mr. Day decided to go to Topeka, Kan., and in that city worked one winter at the carpenter trade, and the next spring began track work on the Santa Fe Railroad. He was then employed by the railroad company as bridge carpenter, continuing in their employ for nearly two years, and then returned again to Mt. Pleasant. He engaged to work with the St. Louis, Keokuk & Northern Railroad, but only remained with them for two months. Going to Ketcham's, a place four miles west of Mt. Pleasant, he was engaged as Superintendent of the brickyard, being in this employ for a year, during which time he went to Missouri and made a kiln of brick. Returning to Mt. Pleasant, he again took charge of the old brickyard, manufacturing brick for the asylum. He made two and a half millions of brick in three years. In the spring of 1887 Mr. Day purchased seventeen acres of land and a neat cottage on section 35 of Marion Township, and also the brickyard formerly operated by Daniel Stephens. Upon this farm he moved, and continues to carry on brickmaking. This first year he has manufactured four hundred thousand bricks. He intends making stock brick for fronts and fine walls, and will also take contracts for supplying customers with all kinds of brick. Mr. Day is a thorough workman, and understands his profession perfectly, and of the young, enterprising business men none rank higher than our subject.
Mr. Day was united in marriage, in 1873, with Miss Elizabeth Edwards, who is a native of Henry County, and a daughter of Hiram Edwards. Nine children have graced the union of this worthy couple: Morris R.; Eddie, deceased; Mattie; Belle, who died in infancy; Leander, Bessie, Bertha and Richard. Mr. Day holds the political views of the Republican party, while socially he is a member of the I.O.O.F.
Within the pages of this volume will be found a fine engraving of the brickyard spoken of above and belonging to Mr. Day.

Albert GEE born 29 July 1829
William GEE, a native of Massachusetts, was one of the first settlers of Geauga County. He married Polly POMEROY in Massachusetts before coming to Ohio. He lived in Geauga County until 1845, when he moved his family to Cascade, Iowa. He was there 8 to 10 years then moved to South Fork Township, Jackson County, Iowa. He lived there until "after the war" (Civil War), then moved to live with their eldest son in Indiana. In 1872, on a visit to another son in Grant County, Wisconsin, he took sick and died there. His wife died at the home of their son Gilbert GEE in Warrick County, Indiana 3 December 1877. They had nine children: Gilbert GEE, Ebenezer GEE, Olive GEE, Mary GEE, Clarinda GEE, William GEE, Lucinda GEE, Philander GEE, and Albert GEE.
Albert GEE was born 29 July 1829 Thompson Township, Geauga County, Ohio. When he was 16 years old, the family moved to Iowa. He remained with the family until he was 21 [ca 1850], then went to work in the coal mines at Peoria, Illinois. [NOTE: The authors' timing does not fit in this section of the paper, but it looks from the rest of the text that he came back to Iowa about 1855, rather than spending 9 years in Illinois.] He married 24 August 1855 at South Fork, Jackson County, Iowa, Eliza J. WATROUS, daughter of Walter WATROUS and Eunice MONT (MOTT?). She was born in Geneva, Ashtabula County, Ohio 4 February 1832, moved to Warrick County, Indiana in 1840, and to Jackson County, Iowa in 1852. Her parents lived at South Fork until their deaths in February 1870 (Eunice) and February 1871 (Walter), except for two years they spent back in Indiana.
Albert and Eliza moved briefly to Austin, Mower County, Minnesota in 1857, but left because of "Indian troubles" and returned to South Fork, where they were living in 1889. They had five children:
1. Ida E. GEE married Eli EDWARDS of South Fork Township.
2. Flora GEE married Albert STREETS of Monmouth Township, Jackson County, Iowa
3. Anna D. GEE married Scott BOWEN of South Fork
4. Belle married Eli EDWARDS of Monmouth, a cousin of Ida's husband Eli EDWARDS
5. Fred GEE (adopted), 11 years old ca 1889.

Runaway Accident: "Lou Gordon and family started on their return to Siskiyou county last Friday [4 Sept 1896], and when about a mile from the toll house, on the Palmer road, one of the horses became frightened and unmanageable, and the team started at a lively gait down the grade. The stumbling of one of the horses brought the team to a sudden halt, which resulted in the wagon turning over, and every body being thrown in a heap. Mrs. Gordon received some bruises about the eye and her right arm was badly sprained, and Miss Belle Herrick, who was one of the party, was caught under the wagon and her left knee severely bruised, but neither was seriously injured. The others escaped without a scratch. It was a lucky escape all around, for Lou says he was thrown sixty feet, and it is a miracle that he was not injured. He brought the folks back and will take a new start in a few days, but he says it will not be on a Friday."

John bought a team of horses, and made a living hauling in the Redding mining area. He went to San Francisco, then made his way to Portland by steamer in the winter of 1853. He obtained a 160-acre DLC at Harrisburg. In 1858 he had a farm in Josephine Co., came back to Harrisburg and with Jack Hall bought an old mill, which he ran for 19 years. In 1862, Hall sold his shares to Asa McCully. In 1877 John sold out and moved to Brownsville, where he ran a flour mill.

Details of 1849 California trip, published probably in a Salem, Oregon, newspaper
-Left from New London, IA, with about 65 men and 23 ox teams.
-Crossed the Missouri River at St. Joseph 20 Apr 1849.
-At Fort Laramie, a man lost all his money ($800), and was so frustrated that he tried to take his wagon to return home. The ensuing fracas with his two partners left him with a bullet in his chest. He recovered.
-The party split about two-thirds of the way across the plains, the New London group wanting to move faster. They reached San Francisco with no problems except loss of one head of cattle to Indians. Those that came later lost a lot of stock to Indians and had other troubles.
-A man called "Stump" wouldn't stand watch, so they wouldn't let him camp with the main train. He had all but two of his oxen stolen by Indians, but he converted his wagon to a cart and got to CA just fine with the 2 oxen.
-They discovered a rich gold strike on the Cosumnes River 7 Aug 1849. David and Asa also tried Fremont's old diggings at Mariposa, but Cosumnes was much richer.
-David and Asa had come well prepared from Iowa, and had surpluses to sell to the miners. When they ran out, they went to Sacramento and bought two wagonloads of flour at $8/100 lbs, sold it at $10/50 lbs; went back and bought two more loads at $20/100 lbs, sold it at $25/50 lb. Socks bought in IA for 25 cents sold for $2 pair, and a used cookstove bought in IA for $20 brought $50 in CA. They sold their oxen for $150/pr and their wagons for $150 each.
-Their partner [J.?] Kelley got tired of the mines, went to Sacramento to pursue blacksmithing.
-First Cosumnes claim each person made $8/day for the first three days, then $16/day for the next week.
-Two people who had been mining with David and Asa [John and William Waters?] for half-interests made another strike that turned out to be very rich [Big Bar?] - invited the McCullys to come in with them. They made $1 out of the very first pan of dirt, 10 1/2 oz. in 3 hrs work - later sold in New Orleans for $17.25/oz., or $180 for 3 hrs work. They averaged about $50/day while they were there. The original two parties sold out to them and moved on, but the really rich strike had played out.
-In 3 months, David and Asa each made $5000.
-About 1 Nov 1849, 7 people started back for New London via Panama - 51 days from San Francisco to Panama on a sailing ship (cost $125), then steamer to New Orleans; sold their gold dust; up the Mississippi to St. Louis, then by stage to Burlington, IA arriving Feb 1850; took 3 1/2 months to get home, cost $220.
-People mentioned as being on the trip: David and Asa, J. L. Starkey, Amos Starkey, William Deardorff (living in Umpqua Valley in 1906), Mr. Kelley, "Stump", and Mr. Ikenberg (captain of the train).

OH 2 Dec 1829; married Margaret Cannon fall 1856, had a son and 2 daughters; lived first in Harrisburg, OR, then to Independence, OR, for two years where he engaged in merchandising. Then lived in Salem a number of years. In 1877 came to Brownsville where he and John Waters operated the flouring mill. In 1883 went to Joseph, OR, and ran their first flouring mill. The mill burned, and he returned to Brownsville.
He had long suffered following a paralytic stroke, but the immediate cause of death was pneumonia.

160. Anonymous. 1909. Robert Moore. Brownsville Times (Brownsville, Oregon), 8 Jan 1909:
The death of another pioneer occurred at his home in Smith River, Del Norte County, California, on December 17, 1908. Robert Moore was born in Tennessee February 10, 1817 - over 92 years ago. He went to Missouri with his parents during the early settlement of that state, afterwards marrying Miss Malinda Scrivner.
To this union seven children were born, two of whom died while quite young. Deceased was farming in Missouri when what was in those days called "The Oregon Fever" took hold of him, and in the spring of 1852 he began buying oxen and preparing to cross the plains. Mrs. Moore having one brother in Oregon was anxious to go. Her mother and one brother accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Moore, but on what was known as Big Dry Sandy Mrs. Moore was buried, having died from Cholera, which had attacked the emigrant train, causing the death of seven persons in three days. Mr. Moore also lost a son about 3 years old.
After the death of his wife and son Mr. Moore, who was captain of the train, had his hands full looking after his four small children and his aged mother-in-law, besides his many other duties, but he finally landed in Linn County, three or four miles east of Harrisburg.
During the first winter in Oregon Mr. Moore worked for James McHargue, making fence rails, to support his family, in the meantime taking up a piece of government land. As there was no lumber in those days he built a log house. In 1856 Mr. Moore married Lucinda McDonald, to which union one child was born. Becoming dissatisfied with Oregon he sold his donation land claim in the fall of 1856 and with his family started to Arizona and California, but on the way the infant child was taken sick and they stopped at Van Noyes' (Vannoy) Ferry, where the child died. It then being too late to cross the Siskiyou Mountains he bought a ranch about three miles east of where Grants Pass is now located.
The next spring he sold out and moved to Curry County, Oregon, where he bought a farm bounded on the west by the great Pacific Ocean. He improved this place by plowing and seeding and building a fine house for that county. The house was burned down and he rebuilt it. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Moore while residing in Curry County.
He was elected justice of the peace which office he held several years. Soon after he was elected county judge, serving the people for two terms. His wife deserted him and went to Seattle, taking two of the children with her. He then sold his property and moved to Del Norte County, California, where he bought another farm. Here he was married to Mrs. Jane Yarborough, who survives him; also the following children.
James M. Moore of Curry County, Oregon; Silas A. Moore of Smith River, California; Horace G. Moore of Del Norte County, California; and J. W. and John B. Moore of this city (Brownsville, Oregon). The daughter who went to Seattle has not been heard from for many years. The son was killed by a live wire while employed by an electric company. Deceased is also survived by 31 grandchildren and 47 great grandchildren.
Deceased was almost helpless for two years before his death. While residing in Linn County he was an active church member, joining the old school Baptist Church in Missouri. The remains were laid to rest on December 19, mourned by the above children and two sisters and one brother, as follows: Mrs. Ellen Waters of this city (Brownsville, Oregon); Mrs. Ann Curtis of Harrisburg, Oregon and Seth Moore of Crook County, Oregon.

Passes to the Great Beyond
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth. All flesh is as grass and we know
not what a day may bring forth. Tears quickly crowd upon the heels of
laughter; and the clouds of sorrow suddenly obliterate the sunlight of
rejoicing.
Where but a few hours before there chimed the wedding bells, now sounds the
low, sad requiem; and though well known is the fact of the uncertainity of
life, none the less startling was the announcement Tuesday morning of the
sudden death of Mrs. A.C. Herrick a long time resident of Big Valley and
esteemed by the many who knew her.
There is a saying that home is where the heart is. 'Tis true; and the heart
of this mother was in her home; and there she did faithfully and well her
part and her children rise up and call her blessed. "She hath done what she
could; and this that she hath done shall be spoken of as a memorial for
her."
The maiden name of the deceased was Martha Gordon, and was married to the
surviving husband February 22, 1879, and at the time of her death was aged
49 years and 12 days.
Seven children are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother, being Mrs.
Belle Kennedy, Lash H., Mrs. Myrtle Smith Mrs. Mae Billings, Lou H. and two
young daughters Agatha and Melba.
Funeral services will be held at the home at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and
the remains laid to rest in the Mountain View Cemetery.

Pages 434-435 - Oliver B. SCHOOLING
In 1859, when he was 11 years old, Oliver B. Schooling crossed the plains to California with his parents. The wagon train disbanded at Marysville, California. The family purchased a small farm on Horncut Creek, where they lived for about 5 years. They then purchased 1000 acres at Live Oak, California, where they raised sheep for 6 years. They sold out and moved to Lake County, California, where they farmed and raised stock. "They were there during the water and range troubles, when a dam, built on a watercourse by a company for the purpose of drowning out a number of contesting settlers, was destroyed by a band of four hundred angry farmers living around the lake. This occurred in 1870." This was part of the reason that, after 10 years in Lake County, the Schoolings sold out and moved to Modoc County, California. There were there during the Modoc Wars.
Oliver Schooling married Lillias Gordon, a native of Siskiyou County, California. Children:
Leonard C. SCHOOLING, deceased
Ervin P. SCHOOLING married Maggie SLAYTER, have three children
Robert E. SCHOOLING married Bell CHARTER, have five children
Eva SCHOOLING married Fred HAMBLET of Dunnigan, had Earl, Russell and Mabel
Albert SCHOOLING married Fannie FLOURNOY; lives in British Columbia

Big Valley Gazette, Bieber, California ­ 22 June 1922 1;2
Death of a Pioneer
The burning of the home of A.C. Herrick some years ago destroyed the family
records and in consequence the Gazette has been unable to obtain a full
account of his career the following facts being gathered from the memories
of the surviving relatives.
Mr. Herrick was born in the state of Massachusetts in 1839, and was 83
years of age at his death June 13 lacking three days his birthday being the
sixteenth of June.
At the age of two the family removed to the state of Iowa where they
resided for about twelve years. Mr. Herrick has lived in Big Valley for 44
years and it is known that he crossed the plains. Farther then this can not
at present be ascertained leaving an interm between the ages of 14 and 39
about which no information is obtainable.
He married Miss Martha Gordon. Mrs. Herrick is well remembered, her death
having occurred on November 11, 1911.
Mr. Herrick is survived by eight children: three sons, Alvin, Lew and
Elisha and five daughters, Mrs. Belle Kennedy, Mrs. Agatha Farmer, Mrs.
Myrtle Smith, Mrs. May Billings and Mrs. Melba Walker.
One brother Mr. Michael Herrick is living and resides at Puyallup,
Washington. It is not necessary for us to extol the character of Mr.
Herrick for all know his worth. During his long residence in Big Valley he
was engaged in farming and stock raising upon his ranch near Bieber. He
lived a quiet and unassuming life, an excellent neighbor, the truest of
friends, honest and upright in all of his dealings even to a fault. Nearly
all of his old friends and associates died before him though there are some
among us who knew him when he was still in this vigor of middle life none of
whom but saddened by his death.
