Mr». Mor- tia belongs to that sturdy family of pioneers, the Crabtree», who made their way west from Missouri in 1845 and started the first settlement in the Forks of the Santiam. The Crabtrees were pioneers be fore pioneering in Oregon, Mrs. Morri»* parents, John J. and Malin- da Crabtree, 'ived in Lre euuntv, Virginia, where they were married in 1825 and brought five children into the world. Then in the 30’s they moved to Missouri, where five more children were born. And af ter arriving In Oregon five more were added to the flock. The women of today who think they have hard work to du might well learn something from the ex perience of this woman.

Then the wag ons were ferried over the river. She recalls how her brother shot a bald eagle, wounding it and t ringing it into camp.
