WENAHA LUMBER COMPANY
Rev. B. Preeson, wno in the city
visiting his granddaughters at 1809
Ave., has gome interesting bits of
history to relate in connection with
his coming to this country in 1850.
While he did not come through the
Grande Ronde, his trip was never
theless so close to the Old Oregon
trail that he either knew -of many
parts of this country or had heard
about it. At any rate he came through
Walla Walla and there' secured sup
plies from the federal garrison and
continued his march to the gold
fields of California. .
It was the time of the gold fever,
when men braved the hardships of
an unknown country in quest of the
yellow metal that still attracts them.
The party in which he started out
consisted. of seven wagons drawn by
oxen. They started from Rushville,
Schuyler county, Illinois, and crossed
the Missouri River at Omaha. The
train grew to 21 wagons and these
then struck out, well provisioned,
through southern Nebraska, via the
Sublet cutoff between Fort Hall and
Salt Lake. ,
But when the party of 21 wagons
, came to Grand Island, Nebraska, a
division of sentiment aroused as to
(whether the party should travel on
Sunday or rest in a Christian man
ner. Fourteen of the wagons, in
democratic fashion, voted to go on,
and the remaining seven voted to ob
serve the rule which the party had
made before starting on the journey,
namely to allow the animals to rest
over Sunday and observe the Lord's
day. . -..
"Strange to say,", said Mr. Pres
son, "we arrived in Placeville, Cal.,
14 days ahead of the party of 1-1
, wagons. Our animals always got a
j good rest over Sunday and were able
to carry the yoke and draw the load
a great deal easier on Monday than
if they had not been rested, whereas
the other animals never got rested
properly. It was another case of
"making haste slowly."
; Mr. Presson went on this arduous
journey with two little brothers, the
oldest of them, named Harrison, died
last year from asphyxiation, at the
acre of 96, and the other died at the
Old Soldier's home in Grand Island.
Nebraska, at the age of 87.' They
made a stake in the gold regions and
then returned by way of the Panama
route, landing in New Orleans two
years after setting out for the west,
and ascending the Father of Waters
to their old home in Illinois.
Mr. Presson was graduated from
Polks Medical college in St. Louis
and practiced during the Civil War,
ami after that. He ia now a preach
er of the gospel and is 83 y
