• Notes

  "He crossed the continent with his parents in 1871, and the family located near what is now the city of Athena, in Umatilla county, Oregon, where his father engaged in the sheep business. Mercantile life, however, had greater attractions for the younger man, and he soon secured a clerkship in Walla Walla, Washington, later removing to Weston, Oregon, where he became manager of the large general merchandise store of Saling & Reese, one of the pioneer concerns of Eastern Oregon." (The Centennial History of Oregon, p 356) [2]
