' MEDFORD MATL TRIBUTE. MEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY. MAY 15, MM. PAGE SEVEN FUNERAL MONDAY FORI W. PELTON, VALLEYPIONEER James W. Pelton it his ranch borne at Fort Klamath, Oregon, Fri day, May 13th, 1932. where he had lived perhapa 20 year. Prior to that time he bad lived on the old Pelton ranch in 6&me Valley, Jackson coun ty, Oregon, where he was born June 9, 1860. No man In Klamath coun ty enjoyed better reputation for food cltlsenahlp, truth and honesty than Jim Pelton. Hit parents were Enoch C. Pelton and Mary Stewart (Rowe) Pelton. . floth parents came to the Rogue River valley in 1853. They were married five years later. The father came from Rock, Arkansas, and the mother from Missouri. The father's earliest occu pation in the west was that of min ing: and packing into mines. In the latter part of the '60's or early In '60 t j parents acquired what Is known as the "Pelton Ranch" at Sams Valley, where they engeged extensively and successfully in stock raising. The father died In 1865; the mother in 1000. Jim Pelton and Horace I. Pelton, his brother, and half-brother, L. o. Slsemore, successfully carried on the livestock business on the Sams Val ley property for many years following the father's death. Perhaps twenty or twenty-five years ago they acquired a very large stock ranch situated at and around the town of Fort Klam ath. At that time Jim took over the management and operation of the Klamath properties and Horace man aged those here, and the two ranches were used together In the raising or cattle. There are probably 1500 acres In the Klamath ranch, being almost level, and all In meadow, v Shortly before the death of Horace the brothers separated their -interests, Horace succeeding to the Sams Valley ranch and Jim to the Klam ath ranch. t Up to about seven or eight years ago Jim gave his attention to raising hi own cattle on the Klamath prop erty. But more recently he has rent ed this large enclosure to other cattle men. who have used It as pasturage for the fattening of their cattle for market. For the last eight or ten years Jim and Mrs. Pelton have spent their winters in Los Angeles, return ing to Klamath county after the braking of the winter there, ordin arily in April. Mrs. James Pelton was Josephine Orth, a pioneer Jacksonville girl, and who Is a sister of John Orth of Med ford. She married James Pelton May 80. 1008 In Klamath Falls. James Pelton was widely known throughout southern Oregon. He was a very successful business man. quiet and unassuming and a very good Judge of other men, and was always considerate of their views. He saw the v question from the other man's point V of view to an unusual degree, and in the working out of many business matters, or the-- adjustment thereof, he was more than fair to the other side. He was to quite an extent an arbiter In the differences over water rights and property, etc., in Klamath county. His Judgment was particular ly good, and always fairly used. He never had any quarrels with anyone, probably because he was willing to be met half way. and could see the ether, side, even of his own matter. He was temperate In all things, not only in his Judgment, but in his hab its. Except for exposure upon the range he probably would have lived much longer. There will not be any thing said of him that will not tend to leave a pleasant memory. He was a member of Jacksonville lodge, A. F. A. M. and of Al Kader temple A. O. N. M. S. of Portland. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, and a brother, L C. Slsemore of Fort Klamath, and two cousins. J. L. Rowe and X. M. Rowe of Sams Val- x ley besides several nieces and neph ws. .""
