Amnnr the pioneer .families that settled in the Willamette valley prior to 1850 apd made homes in Marion county, perhaps none were better known or more highly es teemed than the Jairus and Tru man Bonney families. The first was born in 1792 and the second on April 24, 1796, and both in Vermont. Truman was married in 1819 to Pelua Townsend and both families removed to- Ohio, and to Illinois in 1834. On April 20, 1845, they started to Oregon with ox teams. The children in the families, so far as known, were as follows: Mary Ann, born in sanausky, Ohio, May 29. 1823: Alvo William, born in Ohio. No vember 26, 1845. and died late that year in California; Miriam, oorn in unio, August 14, 1832; Truman born in Fulton coun ty, Illinois, February 14. 1835: B. P. Bonney, born in Illinois in Blouses For These Summer Days For the more informal occasions noth ing is in tetter taste than the new mod els in pongee.

Mary Ann was married to C. O. Boynton July 26, 1843, and Miriam was married to George franklin Hibler, January 24, 1846. When this party, westward bound, reached Fort Hall, it wan met by Brattan Greenwood, a half- breed trapper, who warned against Koing on into Oregon and advised to go to California where condi tions for settlement were much more , favorable. That advice was followed, and the winter of 1845-46 was spent in the Sacra, mento valley in the vicinity of Sutter's fort. During the season alluded to Mrs. Boynton and her sirter Miriam, while walking along the arroyos or beds of small streams, frequently found small nreguiar pieces of yellow metal which they saved at odd times un til they had a spoonful of little nuggets. Some one of the Bonney family became ill, and a Dr. Git dea, who had practiced in St. Louis, was called in to treat the invalid. He was shown the yellow metal and pronounced It gold, having seen native gold in the hand of traders from Santa Fe. He was given the precious metal, promising to have its value ascer. tained upon arriving at Monterey; Unfortunately he died before he reached that place. On the way thither, however, hn mot rninii.i John C. Fremont, who cautioned him. to keep the discovery' quiet "because," 'as he said, "we must Set this country first. If the orld finds out that women and children can go out and pick up gold In California in the way this indicates, we will never get it " Notwithstanding the liire nf gold, as this indicated, aivd tpaI. lzlng that the war with Mexico nad lust begun.
