A LINK WITH THE PAST
From Lebanon early this week came the report of the
death of Marvin J. Nye with a son and a brother living in
Prineville recorded aa among his surviving relatives. The
facts brought to mind the historic connection between Linn
and Crook counties.
Crook county or, more particularly, the valleys of the
Ochoeo and Crooked river and their tributary streams was
settled, as the phrase has it, b,y a backwash of immigration
from Linn county. The pioneers who crossed the plains in the
Forties and the Fifties of the last century went to the end of
the line in the Willamette valley. Having established them
selves there the more adventurous began easterly exploration
back in the country that they had gone around on the outward
journey. That tooK them up into the Cascades and it is re
corded that Andrew Wiley, a Linn county resident, having
pushed back a little farther each year finally, in 18139, made
his way entirely across the range and came out in the vicinity
of Sisters.
Following that venture of Andrew Wiley's Linn county
men began crossing the range on the Santiam route. That was
the backwash and the beginning of the settlement of Central
Oregon. To facilitate travel the plan was conceived of build
ing a toll road and the undertaking begun by the Willamette
Valley & Cascade Mountain Wagon Koad company. Marvin
Nye was the last keeper of the toll gate on the road that the
company built.
There are relatives of Andrew Wiley living in Crook
county today just as there are relatives of Marvin Nye and
of other men of Linn county background. The Powell buttes,
according to McArthur, were named lor a member of the
family ot a Linn county man, Jacob Powell.
The death of Marvin Nye breaks a link with the past.-
