Her friend linoss a ml hospitable spirit in tho many windows from which lights gleam info the night and tho houghs of tho largo trees which hover low over the roof. Sho was past ill when hor health first became impaired. 'Since then sho had had many bright days and occasional cloudy ones, which forecast tho decline of one of southern Oregon's grandest old ladies, mother of tho second white child born in Josephine county.

On Decem ber 24 they made their start, driv ing into the river just below the present steel bridge. The wagon floated but they reached the other sido in safety. On December 36, 1861, Mr. God frey was drowned trying to cross the Applogate river, leaving his wife and little daughter to carry on nlone.
