Nancy Jacobs, As a Girl
Witnessed Massacre of
The Whitmans.
Mrs. Nancy Ann Jacobs, next to the
last survivor of the Whitman mas
sacre died at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Kate Dickey, in . Portland
Tuesday of last week, at the age of
89.
Funeral services were held at Port
land last Friday. The body was cre
mated, the ashes to be sent to Wes
ton for burial.
For many years the pioneer woman
was a resident of Athena. While re
siding here with her son and daughter
she was united in marriage to W. W.
Jacobs, now deceased. Mrs. Jacobs
is survived by her daughter, Mrs.
Kate Dickey of Portland, and a son,
Marion Keys of San Francisco.
Mrs. Jacobs was an interesting wo
man, endowed with the pioneer char
acteristics which make all women who
carved present civilization out of the
western wilderness loved and esteem
ed by all who know them. A splendid
conversationalist and possessing a
brilliant mind, her remembrance in
detail of the Whitman massacre has
been handed down as the historical
basis of one of the West's most ter
rible tragedies. Many local people
are conversant with the details of the
massacre as told by Mrs. Jacobs. For
those who are not, the Press reprints
the following from the columns of
the Portland Oregonian:
Another chapter in the history of
the early settlers of Oregon, who
braved hardship and warring Indians,
was closed yesterday when the funer
al services were held for Mrs. Nancy
Ann Jacobs, 89, who, as a frightened
9-year-old girl, witnessed the Whit
man massacre at Wailatpu. October
29, 1847. Services for Mrs. Jacobs
who died August 20 after an illness
of almost one year, were conducted
at the Snook & Whealdon : parlors.
Final services were at the Mount
Scott crematorium. The ashes will be
sent to Weston, Oregon, for burial.
Mrs. Jacobs' death reduced the num
ber of survivors of the massacre to
one, Mrs. O. N. Denny, 92, now a
resident of Portland.
Born March 24, 1840, Mrs. Jacobs,
nee Nancy Ann Osburn, -spent the first
few years of her life near Walla Wal
la. When rumors of an impending up
rising by the unfriendly Cayuse tribe
spread, Mrs. Osburn, suffering from
measles, and her children hurriedly
fled to the Whitman mission for safe
ty The family was hidden under the
floor of the home of Marcus Whit
man.; It was there the frightened
group huddled when a treacherous
buck Bummoned Mr. Whitman to the
front door and then ruthlessly killed
him with a tomahawk.
: -The slaying of the missionary and
his wife was the beginning of the
tragic occurrence. Fourteen persons
were killed and 53 women and chil
dren talcen prisoners before the Cay
use Indians were quelled,
i Throughout the entire day of mur
der and destruction, Mrs. Osburn and
her cowering children remained under
the blood-stained floor. With the
coining of night, an Indian found the
little family and for some unaccount
abue reason performed a friendly act.
He removed them all to a point of
safety and then departed. That night
Mrs. Jacobs awoke to find a tin cup
missing. Without thought of the
murderous Indians or of capture, she
crept back to the house and retreived
her toy. How she ever made her re
turn to camp without being discover
ed is one of the mysteries of the trag
ic event
The 53 persons captured in the up
rising later were ransomed by Peter
Skene Ogden, factor of the Hudson's
Bay company" at Fort Vancouver, who
gave the redskins tobacco, blankets
and ammunition in lieu of money.
Mrs. Jacobs' adventures with In
dians continued for several years.
Twice she was made captive and
once held for ransom at a spot near
Portland.
With the final quelling of the red
skins, Mrs. Jacobs settled near Walla
Walla, Wash., living there for a num
ber of years. Later she moved to
Weston', and Athena, Oregon, and
about 25 years ago moved to Port
land, where she made her home with
a daughter, Mrs. L. C. Dickey, at 293
East Thirty-fourth street. She re
sided there until her death.
Deer Season Sept. 15
With the opening of deer hunting
season on September 15 sportsmen
will be called upon to observe a
change in the limit laws. Each hunt
er will be allowed but one mule deer.
He may kill one mule deer and one
black tail o two black tails. Reports
indicate that deer will be more plenti
ful in all sections of the state than
they have been for years. Heavy
inroads made upon cougar have in no
small degree been responsible for this
increase of deer. 1 -"

ing interest for Umatilla county

mortal of Harold Stewart, pioneer of

Southeastern Alaskan
Coast Used As Campus
By University Students
University of Oregon. Tvc:v
"campus" the whole southeastern
Alaska coast, from the southern-most
point on north to the interior be
yond Skagway, the University of
Oregon summer session held on board
the S. S. Queen of the Admiral Line
was a complete success in every way,
it was declared by students and facul
ty members of the cruise who return
ed to Eugene recently.
The S. S. Queen was chartered by
the University of Oregon for a two
weeks' trip and carried 170 students
and a faculty of 15. Students on the
cruise, the first of its kind to ever be
sponsored by an American university,
received full credit for all courses
taken and regular classes were held
on board the vessel during the trip.
Subjects that were enhanced by the
cruise were offered to students, and
included Art of Alaskan Indians, an
thropology, geology and geography of
Alaska, Literature of the Pacihc
Northwest, feature writing, camera
reporting and others. Two weeks of
intensive study on the : campus at
Eugene will complete the session.
Students made remarkable progress
in every subject, instructors declared
upon their return. Long hours on the
waterway, free from noises and dis
tractions, were very conductive to
concentrated study and with zest
added by the excursions ashore, no
one had difficulty in keeping up in
work.
The cruise was arranged by Camp
bell Church, Jr., of Seattle, and uni
versity work on board was under the
direction of Karl W: Onthank, ex
ecutive secretary of the University.
A second cruise, in a larger vessel
and with a route that will include
points of interest, is already being
planned for next year, Mr. Onthank
declared upon his return here.
Every point of interest ordinarily
seen by tourists to the territory was
enjoyed by the students, and in ad
dition Captain A. W. Nickerson took
the vessel to many out of the way
places that are of special interest.
These included an unusually close
visit to Taku Glacier, a trip into
Glacier Bay, stops at Excursion In
let, a voyage on open sea from Sitka
north and many side stops. '
Truck Ran Over Foot
When a truck ran over his foot, F

south of Pilot Rock, was taken to
the hospital at Pendleton, where it
will be necessary for him to remain
for 30 days.
