Sho ' traveled tho westward
"trail" from New York to Oregon
when the journey wns made via
tho Isthmus of Panama nnd landed
as n bride in old San Francisco.
She boarded a steamer to Crescent
City and landed, wrapped in a
flag strapped in a chair, lowered
into a "lighter.' Sho crossed the
mountains hy pack train and con
quered the storms and flood wat
ers, which threatened settlors who
dared their way into tho mining
regions of southern Oregon when
"whites" wore few. Yesterday
death stalked into hoi tall white
farm house nt Williams and Mrs.
Mary (Grandma) John surren
deredseven years in advance of
her ono hundredth birthday.
She had lived on tho ranch nt
Williams, far up the Applogate
country, for G5 years. She had
lived in tho house whore death
came to her 45 years, and hor
sturdy personality Is reflected in
the long1 white columns of the
porch, well kept in spite of tho
rains and snows of half a century.
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.
Mrs. John is survived hy four
daughters, Mrs. Kd W. Herriott
of Medford, Mrs. J. W. Howard of
San Francisco, Mrs. Mollie Dale of
Herkeley, Calif., and Mrs. Stella
Ttratton of Williams nnd many
grand children.
When sho made her first trip to
Crater Lake at tho ago of XS, sho
could outwalk daughters nnd
.granddaughters, sho told her
friends, who called at her home
last summer. . '
Coming from Crescent City in
1X59 Mrs. John was given the only
horse in the pack train. Snow was
melting, streams wer' high and
in fording sho had to, put her foot
on the horse's hack to keep them
out of tho water. In Kerbyvllle
her husband met her. After a few
months stay there they continued
to Sucker creek, whore she lived
for eight months without seoing a
white woman, . surrounded hy
Chinamen who came in gangs to
dig for gold.
In May, 1800, Mrs. John, who
was then Mrs. Godfrey, moved
with her husband hack to Kerby
vllle, where a daughter was born
to them, who nt the age of two
months was carried across the
mountains In a market basket.
In December, 1 StiO, . the family
started for Williamsburg by wag
on. Mrs. John stayed at Roberts
station, tho present Hayes place on
Applogate, for a week wailing for
tho water to go down. 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.
July 15, 1S64, his widow mar
ried DaVid Uohn, who came to the
coast from Camarthanshiro, Wales.
He was at that time blacksmith
in Williamsburg.
Tho last house was moved down
from tho old "burg" several years
ago and the land whore a village
of 500 people once flourished has
been mined away.
Today at 2:30 p. in. funeral
services will he held for the grand
old lady, who watched the village
grow and decay from tho ISOO's
to the 1930's. Interment will bo in
tho pioneer cemetery at Sterling.
