As far as her plans went last night, she simply intends to stay at home, at 657 Center street, and rest. You see, she ."celebrated" last night, at a birthday dinner party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Laughridge, 1139 Marton street. Eighty yean Is a pretty long time to lire, but to laugh and chat with Mrs. Smith, you wouldn't think she thought so. Seventy of those 80 years she has lired In and around Salem, for she came here In 1869, the year Oregon was admitted to the union as a state. Mary Wyatt, for those are the names she responded to as a girl, was born in Quincy, Illinois, Octo ber 17, 1849; at the age of about four her mother and stepfather and sister started alone by horse and wagon, across the plains. When the Green river had been reached, the step-father murdered the mother and himself disappear ed. Other pioneer travelers found the two lost girlsl and brought them to Wagner creek (now Phoenli) near Jacksonville, Ore gon. Quite a settlement had grown up around Wagner creek, thanks to a gold rush and the old Ore gon stage line. One of Mrs. Smith's first mem ories is of driving behind ox team to Jacksonville In 1854 to witness a Fourth of July celebration. In dian episodes, too, she soon be came acquainted with in southern Oregon, for there were plenty of them there. The first dead man she saw, his face riddled with small shot, propped feet to the floor and head to the ceiling in a rough box in the home Into which she had been taken. He waa a Portland man, bound with a load of butter to the California gold fields, and was a victim of the Oatman massacre. Daring an Indian scare,' the young girls cut her finger, which bled profusely. She crawled into bed, and because to much blood had been spilled about, seeing the blood, the folk about her imme diately decided Mary had been killed by the Indians. Mrs. Smith still gets a "kick" from telling this story on herself. An orphan girl in the early days could do just- two things: Go wherever she could and get what ever work she could; Jobs were n't plentiful. and 82.0 a week was a big salary for housework. She was lucky to be able to live with folks In Roseburg and to attend Umpqua academy for a short term. In 1859, she came to Sa lem, living and working first for the late Dr. J. L. Parrish. She worked In other pioneer homes. Although there wasn't such a thing as a public school, she man aged to go through the grade school at Sublimity. Mrs. Martha Adams, now of Portland, and Henry W. Hobson, now of Stay ton, are the only surviving school mates. She remembers when the first public school district was es tablished in the Waldo hills the Willard school. Mrs. Smith was In Salem "before the statehouse and court house were built. Her first husband, wniam Lewis to whom she was married In Polk county. In 18S7, had a photographic gallery on the second story of a building where the Ladd and Bush bank now stands. Across the street to the north in those days stood the Durbin livery stable. She believes the building at South Commercial and State now occupied by the MacMarr store, was the first brick construction in Salem. In 1876, she was married at Al bany to Joshua Smith, and for 14 years they lived on a farm east of o IStoKH? TJblfc nun tjftoe ispBnspnwnes ,-i , -,,,S- If are!
