Salem's first atoret
I- V V
The Salem chamber of com
merce has from Burt Brown Bar
ker, vice president of the Univer
sity ot Oregon, the following let;
Iter: - . :
"1 recently received the Ladd
Bush '- Annual of I November,
1130. On page nine at the close
of the first paragraph there la
statement to the effect that Mr.
Thomas Cox, an 1 immigrant . of
1847, built a two story house at
the corner of Commercial ana
Ferry streets in which he had
store. Thomas Cox was my great
grandfather and we have always
understood that be had the, first
store In Salem.
.ri believe you will have no
trouble In establishing this as a
historical fact. I have conferred
with Bob Hendricks,, who con
firms the Idea, and I believe that
if you will refer to the Salem Di
rectory of 1871 you will find an
article written by J. Henry Brown
which establishes the same fact.
J. Henry Brown crossed the plains
when a boy of nine or ten. as I
remember, . and was a grandson
of the said " Thomas Cox. He
therefore knew the circumstances
and remembered the same. In
addition thereto, I have a copy of
the autobiography of J. Henry
Brown. It ls to be found In the
Bancroft 1 library and In it he
says:
I H V
' " 'Afeout the middle of October,
1817, we arrived in Salem, thus
finishing our lat journey of over
2000 miles across the American
continent. Salem, at that time,
was a I missionary town; that ls,
had been laid out a short time
previously by the missionary
board,! and was the seat of Pro
testant education, andT contained
only three or four houses. My
grandfather opened his store,
the first ever there, and soon had
a thriving business, taking for
pay for goods the currency of the
Inhabitants wheat at the value
of one dollar' per bushel. For
groceries he went to Oregon City,
the then emporium of Oregon,
making most of his purchases of
Dr. John . McLoughlin, and when
that good old man was told that
he had brought his store across
the plains, his astonishment knew
no honnds. It seemed so incred
ible that for a time he was In
clined to doubt the statement.'
"It seems evident, therefore,
that Thomas Cox must have been
the first merchant in .Salem.. As
a matter -of fact. Chester Cox. one
ot the officers of the Ladd &
Bush hank, still has the original
books of entry of said Thomas ;
Cox, Indicating purchases and
sales which took place in ' said
atore.
"I am writing to ask if the
chamber of commerce could not
interest iiseir ana negro a move
ment to -mark the early historical
events ot Salem. It would seem
to me that this should be done
while Joe Baker ls stUl living.

tify the early historical facts. .
have talked with him about the
store of Thomas -Cox and he re
members it, although he was not
in saiem when It was built.
"I have a feeling that If the
Chamber were to undertake the
matter of marking the historical
spots, probably it conld get the
various families to provide the
markers. I am sure that our
family ; would be very glad to do
two things: first, we would be
willing; to present the Chamber
with a photograph of the said
to me, . therefore, that It would
be very commendable IV the
Chamber would aee its way clear
to begin, making these Investiga
tions, and if yon wish Xo begin
by marking the location ot the
first store, I feel sure our family
wouia maxe ine start.

the authority of the Chamber, so
that It would hare the proper
backing. It woyld aeem that the
Chamber should I certainly Interest
Itself in the matter of locating
the first store an dbarlng a pic
ture ot the first merchant In Sa
lem. The marking of these spots
might be made ia matter of con
siderable local Interest and pride.
"a "a
"I am writing to Indicate the
willingness of the Cox family to
start the undertaking It the
Chamber wishes to interest Itself
In a movement of this sort."
There ls no doubt concerning
the location of the first store in
Salem or rather In what became
Salem, for at that time this was
The Institute," meaning the lo
cation of the Oregon Institute
which by change of-name became
Willamette university. The school
was before the town. The town
was born ot and cradled in the
school, as was the state also. And
the first courts were held in the
school buUdlng.
The Cox store stood at what is
is now the northeast corner ot
Ferry and State streets the Bur-en-'
building corner; the one
across the street from and north
of the Marlon hotel. There Is no
doubt concerning the location.
and It was the first store here,
and It was started by Thomas
Cox, together with his son; Will
lam Cox. .
They brought their stock of
goods all tbe I way across the
plains In covered wagons drawn
by oxen; a fleet, of covered wa
gons. They came from Wilming
ton, Will county, Illinois, which
town Thomas Cox founded.
In his address at the seventh
annual reunion of the Oregon
Pioneer association, at the state
fair grounds June 15. 1879, Hon.
Ralph C. Geer said: "Uncle
Thomas Cox and William, his
son, brought a respectable store 1
across the plains and opened out
at Salem the first store south of
Champoeg." I
They had Intended to open the
store at Champoeg, but found too .
much competition there. ;

Waa It Botlw wh wrote:
Let, me write the songs of a
people and I care not who writes,
the laws." g it is with hymns
they touch the deep emotions of
men and they influence nen's
lives profoundly. And this old
hymn about the- little brown
church In the rale, rsther poor
poetry it ls. but It strikes re-
jnsive chords In the hearts of
men and women everywhere.
Memory calls up the picture of
a church, brawn or white or red;
and faces; and voices; and ex
periences. Oar paths may never
lead us back to that old church
with fts nearby graveyard where
familiar names are still chiseled
la stone. But Its Influence is a
persisting force la our lives.
