THERE Is probably no person
in TiouRlas county who knows
more about (he history of Rose

Roseburit than Finis W. Dillard.
Mr. Dillard can probably also
claim the distinction of being the
only man now living in this city
who was here when there was
only one small cabin that of
Aaron Rose, the founder of Rose
burg. His father, John Dillard. bought
the 640 acres which includes most
of the present Dillard valley com
munity, for the "stupendous" sum
of $50. The community received
Its name from this pioneer when
the railroad station was establish
ed there.
John Dillard and his wife, Jane
Gray Dillard, crossed the plains in
50 and came to Douglas county
In '52. They started from Spring

Kinis Dillard was 18 months old
at the time and did his first walk

Recalls Lone Cabin
Flnl3 Dillard remembers dis
tinctly the first time he saw Rose
burg. That was 79 years ago. One
small cabin was the sole building
in the "community." The occupant
and builder of that cabin was
Aaron Rose, the founder of Rose
burg and for whom the city was
named. The little log cabin was
located down back of where the
Liberty theatre now stands.
He was here before the railroad
was put through in '72. For ten
years Roseburg was the southern
terminus of the railroad. In 1SS2,
Mr. Dillard recollects, the rails
were extended to join the road
which had been built into north
ern California. On account of one
kind of delay and another the ac
tual joining of the two segments
was not completed until 18112.
