L. F. PEPINS DEAD
The passing of another Lin
coln County pioneer was mark
ed on March 19th when Lafay
ette F. Pepin departed this life.
In Lincoln County, sparsely
settled, the pioneers have always
been few, and those remaining
to enjoy its later development,
those hardy men who braved
the dangers and endured the
hardships of that new country
of forty years ago, are rapidly
leaving us.
L. F. Pepin was born April 24,
1550, in lloscoe, Boone County,
Illinois, and, in 1878 found his
way across the Continent to
near what is now Chitwood, Lin
coln County. This section of
the country was without means
of communication except by
horses until the construction of
the Corvallis & Eastern railroad
about 1883. Mr. Pepin aidsd ln
the construction of this enter
prise which afforded railroad
communication from Lincoln
County to the outside world.
. Mr. Pepin took a pre-emption -claim
in the Chitwood vicinity
in 1878 and was preceded in that
'vicinity by only three settlers.
He continued to live there during
ine iouowmg 3a years and until
his death which came after a
protracted illness of about two
years. He was the proprietor of
a mercantile business at Chit
wood for many years immediate
ly prior to his death. Besides '
the widow, Mrs. Flora Pepin, he
leaves nve sons, William b. Pe
pin. Arthur.J. Pepin, Fred Pepin, i
Archie D. Pepin and Floyd Pepin.
