THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT
OVER TRAIL
In view of modern methods of
travel, when one can go to Port­
land from Tillamook by auto in 5
hours, it sounds like ancient history,
when an old pioneer relates that it
took the greater part of seven days
to come from North Yamhill to
Tillamook on horseback, over a dim
Indian trail in 1863, but Margaret
Holden of this city was one of a
party, headed by her father, who
had Just that experence before she
first spied the beautiful water of the
Tillamook Bay.
She was then a
child about 13 years of age. and
six camp fires along the lonely trail
attested the length of the trip
In
places the trail hnd ¡to be widened
so that the pack animals could pass
along with their loads, and that
took time. The party was composed
fit her father and mother, Joseph
Edwards and wife—her sister, Mary
who afterwards married Hiram
Terwilliger, son of a Portland pio-
neei\ and her brothers John and
Geoige.
The subject of this sketch, Mrs.
Holden, then Margaret Edwards
married Horace Holden, whom she
survives, at the age of 70 years. Her
husband, Horace Holden, was born
in Massachusetts, and before coming
to Oregon, made two trips to the
Sandwich Islands, later coming out
and settling near Salem, thence to
Tillamook county, where he resided
for many years. The Edwards came
from Keokuk county, Iowa, starting
on the long Journey by ox team in
1863 across the Plains, bounij for
the verdant fields of Oregon,
trip across the Plains, is well
membered by Mrs. Holden, as
was then a child and took much
terest in the event.
Only on one
occasion was the train of 28 wagons
molested, and then some marauding
Sioux
Indians,
endeavored
to
stampede the horse-herd one night,
but failed. The Edwards arrived in
Oregon in the fall, and the trip
was one of the quickest ever made,
I owning to the train discipline and
I the activity of the lenders. In the
fall of 1863 the family left North
¡Yamhill for Tillamook, biinging
1 some of their household goods by
pack train, the remainder being
hipped in Inter on a little schooner
from Portland.
Mis. Holden dls-
crlbes the then Tillamook as “a
store and two houses”—the town
was practically unborn; and
few families of the new coast
tfon, were scattered alon the
shores, nnd east and south of
present town. The greatest incon-
venience of life in the new country
was the matter of gtting flour and
other household necessities from the
outside, and salmon and potatoes’
and such' garden stnff as they could
raise constituted the principal pro­
vision asset of the then isolated
Tillamook country. Indians were
numerous in those days, and Mrs.
Holden remembers of seeing the In­
dian Chief Kelches, who was always
friendly to the whites.
The men
hunted much in those days, and elk
and deer were plentiful, the deer
and elk fat and the delicious venison
was an agreeable addition to the
family larder, when the hunters
were successful. The social features
of the community included neigh­
borhood dances, when the fiddler
played the old-fashioned- quadrilles,
and in which they instilled much
harmony and sweetness of express­
ion,
even
though
they lacked
hifaliitin jazz and classical flavor.
Their social gatherings were char­
acterized by that frontier friendli­
ness and good will, which now is
not so conspicuous as it used to be.
Tn those days people '«ent visiting,
taking’ the whole family, and hav
ing a good time. Neighborliness
was a then a virtue, and everybody
knew the latest Corner, and hastened
to render friendly service, and thus,
lasting friendship were promoted.
The Edwards remained in “town’’
for a time after their arrival, and
’hen removed to their home ab ut
one and one-half miles east of town,
which is now cut up into small
tracts, with many homes.
