ONI OF 1845 DIES
III LAKEPORT, CAL.
ane Evans Morton, Well Known
Here In Early Days
When the Imbrie party visited
California recently, Mesdames
mbrie and Smith visited Lake-
port to see their aunt, Mrs. Mor
ton, only to find she had died a
few days before.
Mrs. Jane Evans Morton, af
ter years of ill health, passed
peacefully away Tuesday night,
at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. John Beach, of Lakeport
Mrs. Morton was born near Dan
ville. Iowa, in April, 1839. Her
father, Alexander Evans, was
the first Baptist missionary sent
into the Iowa country.
In 184o, the Evans family
crossed the plains with ox-teams
to Oregon, the trip taking six
months. The dangers from hos
tile Indians, sickness, poison
springs, wild animals ana nan
storms were well remembered
and interestingly told by Grand
ma Morton in after life.
At the Whitman Mission in
the Oregon country the family
enjoyed a short season of rest,
then continued their journey
down the Columbia river on a
rude raft until they reached
Portland, which then consisted
of a few log buildings. They
settled in Tualatin Plains in
845.
In 1848 her father came to
California; locating near Sutter's
Fort, the family following over
and the next spring. Mr. Ev
ans died oeiore tne iamuy
arrived.
In the spring of 1850 the wid
owed mother and her four chil
dren returned by water to Ore
gon and made their home near
borest Grove. Here Jane Evans
attended the Pacific Academy, a
school established by the earlier
missionaries. In 1853 she be
came the wife of L. L. Whit-
comb, by whom she had five
children, three of them now liv-
living. In 1881 she was married
to Omar Morton. Fourteen years
ago he passed away.
Grandma Morton was a mem
ber of the first Baptist church
organized on the Pacific Coast.
Her three living children are
Mrs. John Beach, of Lakeport,
with whom she made her home.
Mrs. W. D. Heath, of Cottage
Grove, Ore., and L. A. Whit
comb, of Portland. A sister,
Mrs. Reeves, of Portland, sur
vives. There are ten grand
children and twelve great grand
children living. Grandma Morton
was a first cousin of Fighting
Bob Evans.
One of her favorite Bible prom
ises was When we see nim, we
shall belike Him." and the VIII
chapter of Romans was her fav
orite chapter in the Bible.
The funeral services were con
ducted by Karl O. Baylees. at 2
o'clock. Thursday afternoon.
Lakeport Press, Cal.
Mrs. Morton was an aunt of
Mrs. J. A. Imbrie, Mrs. Letitia
Smith, Mrs. Wm. Beagle, Mrs.
Irving Ballard, all sisters, and
also an aunt of J. E. Reeves.
She visited here with Mrs. Im
brie and the late Mrs. Leui Man
ning in 1905.
