Notes for CHARLES BRUCE MILLER:
My father was John S. Miller. He was born in Missouri in 1831 and settled
in
Northern Benton Co. near Wells, where he took a homestead in the early
fifties. Father's father was Isaac Miller and I believe his grandmother's
name was Mary.
Grandfather Miller was a German and spoke the German language as long as
he
lived. I do not think he could speak English. Grandmother was of English
descent and they did not take up the land.
Father's sister Martha is buried with her husband, Sam Rice, in the Kings
Valley Cemetery. Father had another sister whose name I have forgotten.
His
brothers, Sam and Henry, went to the Pendleton country in Eastern Oregon
where they lived until their deaths.
I never knew much of my uncles and their doings but I have heard there was
sometimes trouble with the Indians in that part of the country. One time
my
uncles and some neighbors started toward Portland with a four Horse team.
They were pursued by the Indians and one of the men shouted to cut the
horses loose and ride to safety. Only one trace was cut and the other
unhooked on the horse my Uncle Sam mounted. All dashed away at full speed
and before many jumps the heavy iron "cockeye" on the end of the flying
trace hit Sam in the back of the head. He throught he had been hit by a
bullet and yelled, 'Go on boys, give them H---. They've got me.' In spite
of
the supposed 'wound' all finally outdistanced the Indians and escaped but
their houses and all their possessions were burned.
The Indians in Benton County never gave any real trouble but they were
sometimes insolent and overbearing when they found a woman alone. There
were
no large bands of them here but groups of twenty-five to forty traveled
about the valley. One day soon after my parents were married, father went
to
Albany and was gone almost all day. That day a band of Indians came and
pitched camp in the dooryard. They crowded into the small cabin, sitting
on
the bed or whatever else they could find, and asked for food. Mother
throught
she had to feed them and cooked and cooked until she was ready to drop.
When
father came home toward evening, he hustled them out in short order. All
that was needed was someone to put on a bold front.
My mother's name was Vienna Rodgers. Her father, John Rodgers, came with
his
family on the same train with my father and took adjoining claim. Besides
mother there were one brother and three sisters. The names of two sisters
I
cannot recall. One married a man named Culp and the other a man named
Moore.
The third sister, Esther Ann, married Jim Herron. This Herron was not
related to the pioneer family of that name who settled near Monroe. He was
a
successful school teacher and taught all over our part of the country. The
school terms were short, some times only two or three months. When a
teacher
had finished his term in one district he might get another almost at once
in
an adjoining district. Because of this, teachers moved about more instead
of
teaching year after year in the same place.
The train had no serious trouble on the way, except that I have heard them
tell of one man in the party who had vowed he would kill the first Indian
he
saw. He kept his word and killed a friendly Indian and when a party of
Indians came to the camp and demanded the guilty person, he was turned
over
to them for punishment. The leaders of the train were unwilling to expose
the women and children to danger to protect a wanton murder.
The folks were hard up in the new country at first, but they never really
suffered want and soon began to prosper. The settlements were already
established and it was possible to find work and to buy necessities.
Farming
had already started and it was possible to get grain for seeding.
The country about Wells looks today about as it did when I was a boy.
There
was never any young growth of fir and Oak there as there was in the hills
further west and as you see here in Kings Valley. There were a good many
bears in the hills in the early days and father used to trap them. He was
a
blacksmith and made his own traps. The traps were larger and heavier than
are commonly used for bears today. They did not have toothed jaws but were
so designed as to catch a bear high up on his leg instead of catching just
by the foot.
One place father used to find many bear was on Coffin Butte west of Wells.
One day when he approached his trap on the butte, he saw that he had
caught
something, but when he came nearer he found it was a squaw. A party of
Indians had been picking strawberries and one of them had blundered into
the
trap. Since there were no teeth on the jaws of the trap the only injury
was
a badly bruised leg. Father freed the woman, gave her fist aid and took
her
to the family teepee.
There was a large timber wolf in the country so fierce that it killed all
the dogs put on its trail. Father succeeded in catching this wolf. He was
unusually large with a heavy dark mane. The skin was given to Dr. Hill,
and
I understand it finally became a part of the Hill collection in the Horner
Museum at OSU.
I do not remember in what year my parents were married. I was born in
1870.
Then my father had a series of misfortunes and finally lost his home.
First
a fire destroyed their home and all their possessions except the clothes
on
their backs, while the family was out picking wild strawberries. The
strawberries were much larger and more plentiful then, than now. The next
year after the fire, an epidemic killed all his horses but one. He
mortgaged
his place to get a fresh start and was unable to pay out. When I was ten
years old he came to Kings Valley and bought what had been the Van Bebber
donation land claim.
I went to school three years at the old Gingles schoolhouse, east of
Wells.
In my day, this was a large frame building used for all community
gatherings. Various churches used to hold meetings there, particularly the
Methodists, Evangelicals and Baptists. Later the neighborhood became less
united and the Evangelicals built a church at Wells and the Baptists
builds
at North Palestine. When I was older, SI used to play for dances in the
Gingles schoolhouse. In the old square dances, twelve sets used to dance
at
one time, so the room must have been 20' by 40' or larger.
My first teacher at Gingles schoolhouse was a Mr Saunders. He later killed
a
man in Albany in a disagreement over a woman. He was a member of the
Masonic
order and while he was in jail someone smuggled him a saw with which he
made
his escape. He was later caught but at his trial he was acquitted. Another
teacher at Gingles was Lon Williamson. Kings Valley was a tough school.
Among my teachers there were Jack Stines, Jenny Lilly, Bud Alcorn and John
Harter.
In 1895 I married Dolly Elkins. After her death I married Nettie Ross in
1908. By this second marriage I have on son, Carl Miller who is an expert
saw filer employed by a CCC camp in Linn Co.
Father died in 1906 and mother in 1910. I have lived all my life here and
made my living with an occasional bit of work at logging. This farm used
to
produce good crops of wheat, but the yields kept getting poorer and I
stopped trying to raise wheat twelve years ago. My sisters own the farm
and
a tenant works the tilled lands. I am giving all my attention to sheep
which
I pasture in the hills.
This country is not as good as it used to be. When father fist came to
Oregon, he helped in the building of Fort Hoskins and became acquainted
with
the conditions in Kings Valley. Timothy and wild cheat grew all over the
hills higher than a man
'ss head. Wild hay could be harvested any place. If a man wanted to look
over the country he had to go on horseback in order to see out over the
grass. The cheat bore a heavy crop of seed and on this forage, cattle on
the
range grew fat without additional feeding. Then rust killed the timothy
and
smut destroyed the cheat. The land is run down and the wild grasses that
grow now do not make the best pasture.
The season have changed since I was a boy. We used to do all our farming
in
February. But now, there is always too much rain and we cannot put in our
crops until later. We have more frost in fall and spring than in the old
days.
I have always been a Republican and supported Republican ideas and
candidates. I don't like the way things are going now. I think we need a
change.
