Tills historical society has been meeting annually for the last fif teen years in commemoration of the hardy pioneer fathers and mothers who overcame all ob stacles to establish homes, schools and churches In the state of Ore gon and the success they made in developing the very highest type of citizenship among the younger generations of pioneer children is well worth the study of modern Instructors and psychologists. In I he different sections of the United Slates some special factor has led to Its development; Cali fornia had its missions; Massa chusetts, religious liberty; Geor gia, home for debtors and so on.

In 3849 the Oregon and California mission conference of the Metho dist Episcopal church was organ ized at Salem and through this organization James H. Wilbur, D. D., was appointed to cover this section of Oregon to develop churches and schools and began his duties ut once. He soon moved his family to what was then known as Bunion's Jap, later the name was changed In honor of "Father" Wilbur to its present name of Wilbur.

They also held several "camp" meetings dur ing the year.
