H. Packwood, of Baker. ' Between the
two have recently passed several
letters of historical value, and the
Observer, through permission of Mr.
Currey today publishes a recent let
ter from Mr. Packwood, it being the
answer to a letter from -Mr. Currey
inviting the aged Baker veteran to
come to Imbler to' attend a coming
meeting of the Farmers' Union. Mr.
Packwood, whose daughter married
Attorney John Rand, of Baker, was
a member of the original constitu
tional convention in Oregon. He says
among other things to Mr. Currey:
: Baker, Ore., Mr. Thos.' W. Curry,
Dear sir: "At your meeting, I have
no doubt I would meet some of my old
friends and their children, whom I
knew in the early sixties at Auborn
and on the Snake river -when I ran
the ferries on the Snake river, Olds,
Washes, and Central and Toll Road
on the road to the Boise mines. They
were freighters and a more honorable
class of men I never dealt with than
they were. Many of them settled In
your beautiful valley, I wish to be
remembered to them, one and all; and
have no doubt I would have en
joyed being with you and the Farm
ers Union. s
I was a member of the Farmers
convention that framed the Constitu
tion of Oregon in 1857. There were
sixty members; I am the only one
left, of the sixty. Fifty nine have
passed over the river and I will fol
low them very soon. I crossed the
plains to California in 1849. I came
to Oregon in April 1850. . My class
is nearly "Ul in", few 49ers are left.
Judge Goston in his "History of
Oregon," in summing up of ollicers
of the Indian wars of 1855 and 1856,
says that there are only two left to
day. All gone except Major James
Bruce and me. I was a captain, I
however know of one alive who was
a lieutenant wnicn woum leave inree.
Major Bruce and Lieutenant Abbot
are both older than I am and I may
be the last officer of the wars of fifty
nine years ago. It is not however
the length of time a man lives but
what he does while here, and I do not
believe when I am gone that I will
be classed as a drone among the pio
neers of our grand country.
With best wishes to you and the
Farmers Union I am
Yours respectfully,
WM. H. PACKWOOD, Sr.
