OBR: "He came with his parents to Oregon by ox team in 1845. He lost his left arm while feeding a "hand fed" threshing-machine when he was 18 years of age. He became a Minister and preached in the Walla Walla Valley, first in 1866. After his first wife died he had trouble caring for his four children. Bishop Castle suggested that he should marry again, mentioning El Nora Jackson as a possible bride. Father replied, "I suppose she is some old maid that no one else wants" but never-the-less, he wrote her a letter, then later went to Indiana to see her, and in due time returned to Washington with her as his bride. Written by El Nora's daughter, Florence."
