Mark Grave of Daughter
Of Revolutionary Soldier
Daughters of the American Revolution placed a bronze marker at
the grave of Lyrla Stephens Brlgga. believed to be one of the only two
daughters of Revolutionary war soldiers burled In Oregon, at Kerby
last Thursday with the Rogue River chapter of Grants Pass conducting
the ceremony. The marker was unveiled by Miss Helen Floyd, descendant
of Lyvla Brlggs, a resident of the Illinois valley from 1853 to her death
in 1871.
State Regent Mrs. Boone O. Hard- . " ' ' ;
lng. Regent Mrs. H. E. Armstrong I
and Past Regent Mrs. P. J. Newman,
all of Med ford, attended the cere
monies and otheri assembling at the
grave were Mrs. Luclle Floyd, regent
of Rogue River chapter, who was in
charge of the ceremony, and the
following other Rogue River chapter
members: Mrs. Catherine Gray, Mrs.
Isabella VanCott, Mrs. Sarah Jane
Robinson, Mrs. Wm. F. Hayden. Mrs.
Alice Grtmbes. Mrs. George Eaton,
and Mrs. Lulu Voorhlca.
The state regent said she knows
of only one other daughter of a
Revolutionary war soldier burled in
Oregon.
Lyvla Stephens Brlggs was born at
Tioga Point. Penn., October 1, nwi,
the daughter of Captain Ira Stephens
and Sybil Ransom, daughter of Cap
tain Samuel Ransom who was slain
during the massacre of Wyoming.
Penn., under Colqpel Denlson. at
Forty-Fort. He was burled with 10
other officers near the site of the
memory of those who fell In this
battle. His name heads the list of
thoee killed, engraved upon the tablet.
Captain Stop n ens served In the
Continental line, enlisting In 1775.
He served seven years and his dis
charge waa signed by General Wash
ington. Lyvla Stephens married David
Brlggs at Athens, October 4, 1815.
He passed away and was burled
there.
A son, George Edwin, an only child,
decided to bring his wife and four
children west In 1851. Lyvla's broth
ers and sisters were very much op
posed to her coming west but her
fond ness for her son a od grand -children
made her change her mind
at the last minute and she accom
panied her son.
Mrs. Florence Hart of Menlo Park.
Calif., a granddaughter, wrote: "The
trip took about a year. They came
by way of the Isthmus of Panama.
They went by boat down the Atlantic
and were In a storm at sea and
tho boat was nearly wrecked. They,
were weeks overdue and there, was
no one to meet the boat when it
finally landed. They had difficulty
In securing horses to ride to a lake
which they crossed In another boat.
They managed to get a few horses
for the women to ride and their
children were carried on their backs.
"They finally reached the Pacific
oaean and took a boat for San Fran
cisco, then a very small place with
the houses built on stilts. They ar
rived In Crescent City in (he late
fall and were obliged to remain in
the coast town until snow left trie
mountains and the trip to the new
home near what la now Holland was
long and tiresome. Mother's father
had built a good log house whtcn
burned to the ground only a few
years ago. Grandma Brlggs and Lyvla
Brlggs were the only white women
In that part of the country for some
time. The Indians were around and
the children were kept near the
houae. When the Indians went on
the war path during the Rogue River
Indian wars, a fort waa built at the
ranch and other families that lived
In that section were forted there.
Orandma Lyvln was very religious
and read her Bible a great deal. The
family records are kept In thta Bible.'

"pious professions of faith in the

He urged the powers to reconsider
a proposed report which calla for
