Below is a copy of a 1935 newspaper article from The Oregon Journal. Thought this may be of some interest to the list. Katy ----------------------------------> IMPRESSIONS AND OBSERVATIONS OF THE JOURNAL MAN by Fred Lockley Oregon Journal-Sunday Morning May 5. 1935 “I was born at Sublimity on April 1, 1856”, said Mrs. J. M. Rankin when I interviewed her recently in her home on East Belmont Street. “My father’s name was James D. Brown. There were three James D. Brown’s at Sublimity. One was called ‘Black Jim’, another, ‘Bach Jim’, and the third, who was my father, “Sandy Jim”. My father was born in Kentucky. He was the son of Gabriel Brown. They crossed the plains to Oregon in 1842. Dr. Elijah White was captain of their wagon train. There were over 100 persons in the train. My mother’s maiden name was Sarah Jane Evans. She was born in Missouri.” “My grandfather’s grandfather was given what they call a ‘soldiers script’ for his services in the Revolutionary War. He was supposed to take up land in Tennessee with it. I remember my father showing it to me, but I guess the thing ran out, for nothing was ever done with it.” “All the old-timers in the Waldo hills will remember my father, James D. Brown, and my grandfather, Gabriel Brown, for they were early settlers there. My father took a donation land claim not far from his father’s claim. Father’s claim was half a mile from that of my Aunt Cynthia Brown Davie. Aunt Cynthia was my father’s sister. She was born near Little Rock, Arkansas, on January 5th, 1829. Her husband, Allen J. Davie, died in the fall of 1875 and Aunt Cynthia lived until the Spring of 1903. My Aunt Hulda’s place was not far away. All of us children called her ‘Granny’. We all loved her dearly for she was a good soul. They moved to Southern Oregon in 1865 and settled on Rogue River and we never saw them anymore. My father’s sister, Cynthia married Allen J. Davie at Champoeg on March 18, 1844. Uncle Henry Foster was also one of the early settlers in the Waldo Hills.” “Allen J. Davie who married Aunt Cynthia took a claim near Sublimity in the fall of 1849. He was born in Alabama in 1816. My uncle, Allen J. Davie was elected secretary of Sublimity College in 1857. I went to school there during the last two years of the Civil War. Thomas H. Crawford was my teacher.” *** Right here it might be well to give a brief note about Sublimity college. On December 12, 1857, a bill was introduced in the territorial legislature to establish a college at Sublimity. The bill became a law on January 8, 1858. J. Denny, Thomas J. Conner, Eli Hubbard, Drury S. Stayton, Jessie Harritt, William Bishop, Jeremiah Kenoyer, David R. McMillan, James Campbell, Hadley Hobson, Solomon Albrison, George W. Hunt, J. M. Chandler, Morgan Rudolph and Allen J. Davie were appointed trustees. The college was to be operated by the United Brethern Church. Many years ago I interviewed W. H. Hobson, a pioneer merchant of Stayton, whose father, Hadly Hobson, was one of the trustees. Hadley Hobson took a donation land claim a mile north of Slayton. He was born in North Carolina in 1811 and crossed the plains with his brothers George and Alfred in 1847. They went to California and in 1848 came by sailing vessel to Oregon. Allen J. Davie was made the secretary and Milton Wright president of the college. Milton Wright later moved to Dayton, Ohio. He became a bishop of the United Brethern church. His sons, Orville and Wilbur, were the first persons in the world to fly a heavier-than-air machine. Orville was born in 1871 and he and Wilbur made their first flight on December 17, 1903. The tuition fee at Sublimity college was $5 a term of three months, but for any study about the primary grade students had to pay 50 cents per term for each additional study.

I have two volumes of Fred Lockley's Impressions. because my GGP are in them. If your looking for a certain name let me know and I will see what I can find. My GGGP were James Givens Campbell and Elizabeth Amanda Black Campbell, and My two sets of GGP were Lucien B. Frazer and Elizabeth Amanda Campbell, and Aaron H. Denny and Almyra Amanda King.

My Grandmother was Martha Pink Frazer, daughter of Lucian B. Frazer from Bethel, Polk, OR. She married Samuel Clay Denny. Lucian had a brother John who died of TB but I don't think he ever lived in Benton Co. Lucian and his wife Elizabeth Amanda Campbell had thirteen children, so John, their son who went by Riley and Charles, and Clay, are the only ones who might have been on that census. Did you find a Holt? Lucian's brother had a son Holt. I do know that A.R. was no relation. This family came from Woodford Co., KY. I found their father's will. I think another brother of Lucian, William Patrick may have come to Oregon too. He, along with Lucian and his family, are all buried in the cemetery at Bethel.
