GEERS GATHER
AT HOMESTEAD
IN HILL AREA
Waldo Hills On tlie old Oeer
homestead In th Waldo Hills,
where Homer Davenport grew to
manhood, close to 90 Oeer descend
enta gathered Sunday for the
eleventh annual reunion of Geera.
Ralph Carjr Geer, to whom this
year' Invitation was dedicated, was
the son of Joseph Cary oeer and
Mary Johnson Oeer. He was born
In the old Oeer home In Windham,
Connecticut, March 13, 1816. On
January 8, 1837, he married Mary
Catherine Willard In Madron coun
ty, Ohio, coming on to Oregon In
1847. He arrived with but three
shillings and sufficient clothing and
sewing supples to last the family at
least five years. To get food he
took a portion of these things and
traded them for food stuifs. Thus
he tobtained enough food for one
year. The house on the old Geer
homestead, now owned by A. A.
Geer where Sunday's picnic was
held, was built In 1851. The timbers
were hand hewn, the lumber was
rlp-sawcd and the ceilling boards
were matched In the woods. The
doors were brought around the
cape and. evidently were not the
sise expected. Inch strips around
the door caslnRs Indicate this. The
openings for the doors had been
rut months before the doorg ar
rived. Geer was one of the prominent
leaders of the pioneers of Orceon
and his name is connected with
the founding of many organizations
and industries that still stand to
djy. He was one of the first nurs
erymen west ul the Rockies and
was called the father of the Pear
Industry in Oregon. He helped or
ganize the Marlon county agricul
tural society which held the first
elate fair on October 11. 18"4. He
was a member of the territorial leg
islature of 1854, one of the commis
sioners to build the territorial capi
tal and one of the commission of
the Oregon-California railroad,
now the southern Pacific. He
tauijM the first public school In
his home district In the Waldo Hills,
was one of the organizers of the re
publican party In Oregon. He suc
ceeded Governor John W. Davis as
second president of the executive
commlttlon In 1863.
The Oeer reunion originated with
T. T. Geer, Oregon's first governor,
and has continued In memory of
liim. Officers, who hold over from
year to year are, honorary presi
dent. Mrs. T. T. Geer of Portland;

dent. Mrs. Fiank seUlcmelr of

Geer heirlooms, to augment the
collection already gathered by Mrs.

row many documents' and papers
closely connected with the early
history of Oregon.
