Oregon Pioneers Aged From Four to Five Score Years, Additional Local. After serving in the active ministry sixty-seven years and founding, three colleges- he has taken a r brief vacation that he may visit his daughter, Mrs. J, S. Rhodes, of Philomath. . This announcement comes of Dr. Jere miah Kennoyer, of Colfax, Wash ington. v'.v -v'': , , When Rev. T. J. Conner was sent by the Ur B. Missionary Board with a church - colony con sisting of Uncle Jimmy Edwards, Father J. B. Lichenthaler, L N. Price, Rev. M. M. Crow, several of the Mason families - and about a hundred other people who set tled in Benton county, "Jerry" Kennoyer, then a young minister in the territory of Wisconsin, re signed his work to join the.num- Der on tneir western migration. This journey across the plains was recently lived over again by Uncle Jimmy, Edwards and his friend Dr. Kennoyer ' who re counted many amusing incidents among which was the following: The younger clan found a barrel of alcohol which was in the train strictly tor medical purposes, and W. D. Hare,, a hired hand in the employ of - Mr. Ed wards, partook of enough to make him eloquent. Climbing upon some logs, he made a patriotic address in which he declared he had a vision that he would one day either be governor of Ore gon or come nearly winning that prize. Many of that train of immigrants recalled the strange incident when the same W. D. Hare lacked but one vote of win ning the nomination in the state convention and the . democratic nominee W. W. Thayer was elected governor. Oregon was sparsely -settled, was schoolless and almost church- less. Appreciating the situation. Uncle: 4 'Jerry" founded Sablimity Institute, which was prepared to do college work; and half a dozen years after, his example was fol lowed by Rev. T. J. Conner, in founding Philomath College within .the heart of the United Brethren colonial territory. After - serving as ' presiding elder for, many years, Elder Ken noyer moved to Eastern. Wash ington where he - founded Wash ington College formerly , known as Huntsvtlle Seminary, and his last great venture in the educa tional work was to establish Ed wards College, in the same state. It may be interesting to those whose parents have associated. this plain old-fashioned preacher with Peter Cartwright to know that notwithstanding : his busy life in a new country almost im poverished with undeveloped op portunities that he has educated a. family of thirteen children, four of whom are ministers.
