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. ."" Interment will be In the Sams Val
ley cemetery and Warren lodge No.
