Mrs. Ross was a daughter of Thomas
Hopwoo l, who with hi* family crossed
the plains to Portland in 1851. In the
spring |KV2, Mr. Hopwood brought his
family to Rogue River valley and lived
that summer at Willow Springs occupy
ing the cabin of Nat. C Dean. In Octo-
her of that year Mr. Dean was married
to Miss Ann Houstaii, their marriage
la-ing the first ever solemnized in what
is now Jackson county. The Hopwood
family soon after mooved to Jacksonville,
remaining here until the spring of 1853
when he took up a donation claim on
Bear creek one mile east of where Cen
tral Point now stand«, the present bridge
across Bear creek is on the Hopwood
land. Mr. Hopwood was one of the
owners ami builders of the Hopwood
grist mill that was located on his land
and which was one of the first mills
built in this valley. He was well educa
ted, honest, mduatrious man, a marked
characteristic of his, having a very pre
cise way of speaking ami the use of larRe
words ami preciseness in all his work.
Miss Hopwood was married to Cap.
John E. Ross, the wedding taking place
at the family cabin on January 7, 1853
and was solemnized by Rev. Gilbert, a
Methodist minister. As this was the
first wedding in the then one year old
town of Jacksonville, the event was duly
celebrated by a dance and supper, brown
sugar was the sweetning and beef suet
was the shortning, at the house of Mr.
and Mrs. Chapman, who then resided on
Main street some where near the present
location of the Orth residence. The
Hopwood cabin was in the east part of
town. Capt. Ross had been to Jackson
ville the fall of 1852 with a band of
cattle from the Willamette Valley and
