TVaason, whose funeral haa just been held, was , one of the oldest pioneers la Coos county. He came td Coos Bay V 4 ' Oeorg R. Wasaon. when there were only, 17 white . men here. He- waa the first logger in the county and built the, first saw mill In the county. 'He was a veteran d"f the Indian wars, a gold miner and 'was at one time the richest man in Coos coun ty. Mont of the arly' progrpn of this part of tha state was due to hln efforts. Mr. tVasson was brn at Ullasfleld, New Brunswick, September 6, 1823. When tha California gold fovcr began he started for tha Pactflo coast and on Christmas day In 1849, rounded the Horn lie landed in San ' Francisco In 1850 and remained in that part of the state until the winter of 185Z-3 when, with three others, Mr. Wasson started overland for Coos Bay, The party reached the headwaters of the middle .fork of the Coqullle liver, built a raft and made its way down the river until It came to the juncture of the north fork. Up 'that stream the party traveled with the tide, to the head of navigation and then transferred to hatching Inlet and floated down to Cooa bay. It was probably the first party of white men to navigate these rivers. ' The party waa met at Coos Bay by Mart Iavis, who still Uvea in Marsn flnld. Mr. Davis was In a canoe and led the newcomers to North Bend where the only white men In the locality, num bering 17, were living. The white pop ulation was made up of those who had landed here on the wreck of the trana port Captain Lincoln, a few who had come overland from Josephine county, and the late Patrick Flannagan and his associates who had been shipwrecked lower down on the coast and bad come up to Cooa Bay on foot. . Mr. Wasson took up a homestead on South slough and always afterward made his home In that locality. He en gaged in the Indian wars and waalu the Battle Rock fight Ills greatest success was. In gold mining at the old town of Randolph, near where Bandon is now located. Randolph was, then a city of 2000 population, but Is now a deserted waate. Mr. Wesson cleaned up about $30,000 working the rich, gold bearing sand. Mr. Wasaon started logging on South slough and was the first man In the, county to undertake removing the big trees from the vaat timber areas. He built logging roads and railroads which penetrated the wilderness that then surrounded Coos Bay. witn ueorge Winchester he erected the first sawmill In the county in 1851. For many years, as long as he was active enough to work, he followed the logging business, making hla home on bis South slrfugh ranch. :' ' " "'. Mr, Wasson Introduced many innova tions In the county. He educated a number of young persons, besides' his own children, and was liberal with, his money in anything that would help the community, in the openhanded way of the pioneer. In the early days when no boats vlKlted' Coos Bay, It Is said that Mr,' Wesson would row out over the bar and board the first schooner and pay perhapa several hundred dol lars . for paMHsge to San Francisco, where ho- would buy and have shipped home, everything in the way of ma chinery that he thought would help the struggling plbncers in their work. Mr. Wasaon leaves a widow, four daughters and three none on Coos Bay; two slaters In New Brunswick and two brothers in Minneapolis. Mrs. Sophia Hakcr. " .'
