Biographical Sketch by Burt Brown Barker at
! Unveiling
Addreri ; dtlircred 'by ." Bart Bwni
Birker. on tha nreiliiif of tablet
t att ! t& ktor im Sale:
When a student of the law at
the Harvard Law School in If 00,
I delivered an address on Thanks
giving Day. .In the course thereof
I pointed out that I, a son of Ore
gon Pioneers, had a keener appre
ciation of the meaning of the
monuments of New England " In
dicating the trials and tribula
tion of 'the 'Puritans than had
toy hearers, many of whom were
direct descendants of said Puri
tans. ; :! '-
This statement 'caused consid
erable comment. : la support of
my contention, I pointed out that
my grandparents in crossing the
plains i from Itiinois to Oregon,
had undergone hardships com
mensurate: witb those of the Puri
tans la crossing- the Atlantic,
while my parents had undergone
all the trials and tribulations ne
cessarily associated with opening
and developing the Oregon terri
tory, parallelling in many respects'
the hardships of the Puritans In
the settling of New England. I
then called to their, attention the
fact that the stores of these strug
gles were' fireside tales fresh in
my memory. They were the en
perlence of ray own immediate
family, parents and grandparents;
and as such they left lasting im
pressions oi the meaning at those
struggles: -Then I reminded my
hearers of the fact that they were
several generations-removed from
the pioneering struggles of the
Puritans. Their stories, at best
were merely traditions too remote
from the events described to leave
any burning sense of the realisa
tion of what they stood for.
Hence, when they looked upon the
historical monuments telUng of
the struggles of the Puritans,
they were net moved by any keen
realisation! of what had actually
taken place there, while when I
looked ipsa these same monu
ments, the recalled to my mem
ory the stories of actual experi
ences off my. own parents and!
grandparents causing me thus to
interprets the trials ef the Puri
tans in terms of the straggles of
my own; immediate ancestors.'
Hence, just as the life and ex
periences of the- Puritans have be
come traditions, so also will the
events in the histsry of onr own.
Oregon ; pioneers pass into the
realm Of tradition. It is, there
fore, especially fitting that we,
the generation which has knowl
edge and memory of these events, J
should place monuments to mark
their location in-order that they
may net be lost to the generations
yet to eome.
We have ! assembled here today
for-that purpose. I believe this
is the first time In the history of
Salem that the descendants of one
of the f early Pioneers of Salem
have assembled ; to mark, by
means of a j bronze tablet, the lo
cation of: a spot which- they be
lieve to hive historical signifi
cance. And this spot is the site;
1f the first store building In the
City of Salem. It is thus of com
mercial importance and accord-!
Ingly most : appropriate that the
event should be under the auspi
ces of the Salem Chamber of Com
merce. The family assembled herd
today feels : that this event is of
much greater c significance than
the mere location of a store site.
It feels that the fact of the exis
tence of the store hero carries a
story which Is truly indicative of
the spirit which lies behind alt
pioneering, in order to point this
out and to I indicate its true pio
neering significance -it Is neces
sary to review the leading events
In the lite ! of Thomas ; Cox, the
First Merchant of Salem, the mas
who built on this spot which we
mark today, the first store build
ing In this I city. Three things1
stand out very clearly, as one- re
views the life history of this mani
who before coming to Oregon was
a pioneer, a manufacturer and a
merchant; j -. j
First, he was a man of mature
years when: he decided to take
the long - Journey across .the
plains. He was horn on October;
22. 1791; probably in Virginia
and was -accordingly 55 years of
age when he began to make pre
parations for this trip.
Second,! he was a successful
business man.' He had built and
owned and operated three grist
mills and three carding mills, had
been -a manufacturer of guns and
gun powder, had owned and' op
erated . a; . general merchandise
store, and In addition to all of
this had been one of the original
tors and had helped to lay out the
town of Wilmington In Will Coun-i
ty, Illinois. M viv:.- - I
'Third, he was no stranger to
th life of the pioneer. His fa
ther was Joseph Cox who emigrat
ed from England in 1765 and
went to Virginia where he mar
ried Mary! the daughter of Elijah
Poke, a noted preacher of his day,
His parents before him had pio
neered la Virginia and Kentucky
but we have no record of the ex
act locations.! When he was but!
a small boy his parents moved to
Ross County. Ohio. Here he grew
to manhood on his father's farm,
and, in 1811,--- when he was 20 :
years of age,- he, married Martha
Cox of Pennsylvania, in no way; j
however, "related to him. You
must now! picture the young man
starting oat in life with his bride; ;
His sole earthly possessions conf :
sisted of one' mare, a small iron
bake oven, three .tin plates and ;
eups, some Iron spoons; a pair of
flax hackles, ; and a saddle. He.
prepared for his wedding Journey !
very carefully by tying these
earthly possessions to the saddle
and, with his wife behind him)
started out into the wilderness of
Ohio to clear the forest and make
his first farm. Just how long he
worked on - this farm is not
known but ' we have lh" record
that he left it with his wife and
three children, and we know two'
of the children were" twins, born
on Christmas Day, 1&1T, and one
of these twins was i the grand
mother of the writer. 1
In time, however, he told the
farm and, moved to Flat Rock
Creek, Bartholomew County, In
Exercises
diana. Here he :built and oper
ated a grist-mill whose wheels and
pulleys weTfT hand made of oak
and hickory. Later he put up a
water-power carding machine
near the grist mill. ; We do not
have the exact record of - the
length of time that he lived here
and operated his mills but t was
probably until about 1825 when
we learn that he hid sold his mills
and moved west to! Shawnee Creek
near i to Its confluence ' with the
Wabash River in Fountain Coun
ty, Indiana. Here he again en
gaged in the mill business, build
ing a grist mill and a carding: mill
and here also he probably engag
ed in the blacksmith business and
in the manufacture of guns and
gunpowder. He was a man of con
siderable Ingenuity, had a natural
apUtnde for construction. and
was able to make almost any
thing he wished. ... : . j
He remained on the Shawnee
Creek; until the winter of 1831-4
when he again sol out his entire
plant and went to what is now
Jollet, Will ; . County, Illinois.
Soon; after his arrival an Indian
scare broke out and he fled with
his family t Dearborn, which is
now Chicago. ;; ' ;;;.; i
After the Indian difficulties
were settled, he located with his
family on the Kankatee. River la
1 4-5. . Here In 1841-2 be again
set up a grist mill and a water
power carding mill, this time in
partnership with jhls son-in-law,
Ellas Brown, my grandfather, un
der the name of Cox and Brown,
and was one of the men who help
ed to organize and lay out the
present town of Wilmington, Will
Oeunty, Illinois, j It is probable
that he again engaged in the man
ufacture of guns and. gun pow
der in Wilmington; where he also
conducted a general merchandise
store. During the early years of
his settlement in Illinois, Thomas
Cox had a chancel to exhibit his
sound financial balance. During
these early years there was much
excitement! and speculation in
lands and In the establishment of
banks, many of which Issued large
amounts of paper money much of
which afterwards proved ! to be
worthless. This period of! "wild
cat banking" so-called, was the,
undoing of many Ian Illinois pio
neer. But Thomas Cox took no
part in it, confining): himself
strictly to the ; management and
operation of his mills and store. -
During the yearll8 48 there was
considerable . activity in this vi
cinity among those who had be
gun to talk of the Oregon country.
Thomas Cox, now ! fifty-five years
of age, with some! of his children
grown ; and married, ' began ; to
make preparations for his "last
great move. He j bad pioneered
in Ohio. Indiana, and Illinois. He
had built and owned and operated
three grist mills and three wool
en mills; had been! a manufactur
er of guns and gun powder and
had conducted a general store. He
was thus a pioneer, a manufac
turer and a merchant. Yet. the
call of the west again , surged
through his veins- he ' sold his
mills and endeavored to sell . his
store, in this he was unsuccess
ful. . The men -who bought the
nrill3, knowing! that he was pre
paring to leave tor Oregon, had
refused to buy the store in hopes
that at the last moment he would
be forced to sell to them at their
own price. But they did not know
their man. Thomas Cox went to
the then new city! of Chicago and
bought wagons; He went among
his neighbors and bought oxen. '
On the mbraing of March 15,
1847, final farewells were said
in the little town 'of Wilmington,
and Thomas Cox with his . wife.
Martha, v his i son-in-law, r Ellas
Brown, my grandfather, .and
family, among whom waa my
mother,' a child of three j years,
started i on the long journey, to
Oregon. Of the 13 wagons, 11
contained the j merchandise and
each wagon was drawn by "four
yoke of oxen. The remaining two
wagons carried the families 'and
some household j effects, i These
were drawn by teams. Most of
Uhe household effects were ship

started definitely and finally for

were forced to leave an tne wa

60 pack horses and. returned to

time arrived in Salem with the
merchandise in good condition.
Immediately Mr. Cox was able
to lArata himself in- the Jndson
house which had been built about
four years before. Mrs. Judson
having died, the house was then
rented by Mr. Turner Crump. He
iinwfwt ur. Rm to share the up

dise was placed on the first floor.
T have never found but one esti
mate of the value of this stock of
merchandise and that was a valu
ation of 87500. ' I --
it is evident that Mr. Cox began
business at once for the first en
try in the books is under date of
October 17. 1S47. He had brought
from Illinois only dry goods, it
became necessary for nim to go to
Oregon City to purchase grocer
ies. When he did. and told Dr.
McLaughlin how 'that he Bad
brought his drygoods across the
plains, the old doctor threw up
his hands and exclaimed: ' wen, i
hAHev von Yankees could drive
an ox-team over Mt. Hood." Mr.
fin renlled that "If it had been
necessary ; to do so, to reach the
Willamette Valley, i wouia nave
attempted it." Dr. McLoughlin
hn ronlled- "Mr. Cox. you may
have anything you wish." i Thus
began an acquaintance wnicn iasi
Ad for several years. In later
years when Dr. McLaughlin found
himself beset with enemies ooin
within the Hudson's Bay ; Com
nanv on the one hand, and the
early settlers on the other, he
fdund a firm sma warm aeien
der In Thomas Cox. and that, too,
at a time when it was very unpop
ular, to take such a position. But
Mr. Cox thought that a grave in
4naHk waa hsina- done to Dr. Mc
Laughlin and so he dared to say
that in his opinion a gooa man
was being wronged.
Among i other purchases made
in Oregon City was sugar from
Hawaii. It came in mats of 50
and 100 pounds and was as black
as maple sugar, with the molasses
still oozing through the matting.
The salt also was very coarse and
In lumps as large as a walnut. It
is evident that other buying trips
must- have been made to Oregon
City for the next year, namely.
On September 15, 1848, la an en
try of 88.75 for hauling 1100 lbs.,
from Oregon City at 75 cents per

DETROIT SOBER

Blow to dry law i
(Continues from nac 1) - .. i
JorHy. : The national Judge ad vo
cata ruled that considering the
racketeering and ' crime- and the
strong-, economle proposition - in
volved, the Legion could this year
rote on prohibition, although la
previous; years -the problem , had
been ruled, political one, not to
be considered ; by, the organiza
tion. Owen reported - that the
three Oregon delegates who voted
against the prohibition referen
dum stated that they fdidn'ti like
to go back to a bone dry state
and face the people, with all voting
wet, "Two of them were person
ally and constitutionally dry and
the third was politically dryv' he
added. v ; i . : J !. - .;
. Owen characterised the remarks
of Dr. ' Clarence True ' Wilson.
Methodist dry leader, about the
"staggering, drunks at Detroit," as
the biggest blow prohibition: has
received.' He declared that Wil
son's statement "didn't sit' well
with 128,000 Legionnaires" who
attended the convention. "Many
did drink." he said. 'There was
plenty to drink over the line at
Windsor, Canada. Some got back
with liquor. None of I those who
were- stopped at the - border were
fined. The" customs officers treat
ed them very courteously."
"Cnt-ups Mostly I
Xon-Leglow Men J
i I saw very few men in a .con
dition to bring contempt on the
Legion," Owens continued. "Thou
sands of men who were not Le
gionnaires bought unofficial con
vention ribbons and caps, and cut
up. I did not see more than six
people who were Legionnaires who
were in a disgusting- 'condition
from drink. Most of the men ar
rested by the' police were 24 or 28
years old. They were kicking the
slats out of their cradles at the
time of the war." Laughlingly, be
remarked that the "worst excess
indulged in was throwing paper
bags full of water put of 20-story
windows on passersby; who gen
erally took the joke in good
spirit." . - i . ,
The proponents for the cash
bonus put up the same arguments
that were put forward! when a 60s
per cent cash payment was asked
last year, Owen reported: He
eharged that the . treasury deficit
alleged to have been incurred In.
making the 50 per cent payment
of the bonus was not real, but was
caused by Secretary Mellon, who
"switched the congressional ap
propriation to another fund."
: The sentiment of the conven
tion, according to Owen, was that
"in this year of ! depression .and
economic distress,' it is better1 for.
the Legion to concentrate on re
lief for unemployed Legion mem
bers and give full compensation to
disabled men. The American Le
gion was on trial. It Is believed the
action taken will gain Ithe respect
of the' nation and the Legion next
year can as a result get anything
from the 'people It wants." -.
