HATTON William S. Hatton. That the career of this venerable and esteemed gentleman should be outlined in this volume is most fitting and it is with pleasure that we are enabled thus to do. He was born in Lawrence county, Kentucky, on April 2, 1821, the son of Jonah and Margaret (Wallace) Hatton. The father was in born in Londoun county, Virginia, in 1781. The mother's father, David Wallace, entered the conflict for independence as a private and was soon commissioned as captain and served for seven and one-half years. He was given two thousand six hundred acres of land by the government for these services, the same being located in Ohio. He granted his daughter, our subject's mother, five hundred acres and she and her husband came thither to dwell in 1822. A decade later they came to Tippecanoe county, Indiana and in 1836 the removed to Muscatine county, Iowa. Our subject received his education in these various places and in 1837 entered as apprentice to learn carpenting. This has been largely his occupation since those days, albeit he has also done various other things as well. In Muscatine county, Iowa, our subject married, on January 1, 1845, Miss Sarah Johnson, who was born in Fulton county, Indiana, on October 16, 1827. Her parents were Friend and Nancy (Lindsy) Johnson. The father was a gunsmith and served the government in that capacity for seven years. Our subject owned a farm in Iowa but gave most of his attention to his trade. On May 11, 1852, he started with his family and his father, his mother having died in 1846, across the plains with teams. The father stood the journey well until the cholera came and he ceased the struggle on Burnt river in eastern Oregon. Mr. Hatton, his wife, and two children landed where Vancouver now is, on October 26, and soon had located. He built the first hotel in Vancouver and assisted the government to erect the first fort there. In 1860 his wife was called from the walks of this earth and he was forced to take up the burdens alone, having a family of children to care for. He engaged in freighting and polled the first load of dry goods into Lewiston, which was then two tents. He took the first kit of carpenter tools there and wrought and was in the Pierce excitement. By his first wife Mr. Hatton had the following children: Jonah, in Umatilla county, Oregon; William D., in Lincoln county, Washington; Mrs. Nancy E. Terwilliger, of Pasadena, California; Alonzo E., in Lincoln county; Mrs. Harriet D. Hadley, also in Lincoln county. On November 25, 1862, Mr. Hatton married a second time, Mrs. Elizabeth (Reynard) Yucust becoming his wife then. By her first husband Mrs. Hatton has two children, Mrs. Alice Whipple, and Charlie Yucust. Mrs. Hatton was born in Pike county, Ohio, in 1832, the daughter of Jacob and Julette (Peterson) Reynard. The father died when this daughter was a child and the mother was called hence at Los Angeles, California. Mrs. Hatton crossed the plains with her first husband in 1852 and settled in Portland. In 1864 Mr. Hatton sold his farm and bought and operated the old Hudson's Bay fishery. In 1868 he sold that and went to Yakima, being one of the first there, where he also built a sawmill. In 1871, he settled near Spangle and later went below Colfax, where he did stock raising. Mr. Hatton participated in the Indian wars of the time and was always ready for any emergency. In 1890 Mr. Hatton removed to Lincoln county and in July, 1902, he came to his present place, nine miles southwest from Fruitland. He has a quarter section of good land, well improved, and handled in a becoming manner. By his second marriage, Mr. Hatton has three children: Mrs. Julette Crane, who died in Spokane, on March 15, 1903; Frank B., and Mrs, Nellie M. Carpenter, near Fruitland. Mr. Hatton's grandfather lived to be one hundred and eleven years old and was the father of ten boys and one girl, all of whom grew up and were married. Our subject's father had eight girls and one boy, all of whom grew up. Our subject has ten children, all of whom grew up. Thus the three generations were thirty, all of whom grew to maturity. ------------------------------ From: Nancy T r i c e Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 17:12:05 -0500 Subject: KY-F: BIO: Dearinger, Squire L; Owen Co BIO: Dearinger, Squire L; Owen Co Ky >From "History of North Washington" Published 1904 Transcribed by: Candy Grubb (candyg@theofficenet.com) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SQUIRE L. DEARINGER Squire L. Dearinger. Some twelve years since the gentleman whose name initiates this paragraph was a pilgrim across the continent to the state of Washington. After thoroughly investigating various sections of the country he settled in Stevens county on a homestead where he now lives, two miles west of Addy. Mr. Dearinger was with- out capital, except a courageous heart and two strong hands. He immediately took hold of the resources of the country and the fact that he is now worth many thousands demonstrates conclusively that he was possessed of both ability and enterprise. He rented a farm until 1894 then bought an interest in a sawmill, after which he bought more land close to his homestead and has since added enough to make his estate over four hundred acres. After establishing himself well in this county, he returned east and brought his aged and widowed mother to share his home. In 1901 he bought a mill site and erected a fine structure which was burned to the ground with a total loss of both mill and machinery, before a board was sawed. He immediately rebuilt and has a very valuable saw mill which he is conducting as well as overseeing his large estate. Squire L. Dearinger was born in Owen county, Kentucky, January 9, 1863, the son of W.M. and Nancy A. (Clark) Dearinger, natives of Kentucky. The family lived in the Blue Grass state until 1877, then removed to Howell county, Missouri, later went to Kansas and finally returned to Missouri where the father died in 1899. The father's parents died when he was very young, and little is known of his ancestors, except that they are wealthy and prominent people of Germany. Our subject was one of ten children: Elizabeth Miller, Squire L., David H., Frances E. Webb, Nancy B. Eubank, Mary Wilson, George W. and Emma C. Salvage. Our subject received his education by close and diligent application in the various schools where he resided and at times when he had a few moments to pick up a book. The school facilities were very poor in his native place but so well did he improve his moments that he is a man of excellent information. In the fall of 188 Mr. Dearinger married Miss Sarah E. Huff, and they have four children, Alonzo, Flora E., William O., and Oscar L. In 1902 Alonzo was accidentally shot. Mrs. Dearinger's parents are William and Amelis (Rudd) Huff, natives of Tennessee. She was born in Missouri in 1857, received a good education, and has one brother, James. In 1894 Mrs. Dearinger was called hence by the angel of death. Mr. Dearinger is a member of the Baptist church, belongs to the W.W., and is an active worker for the advancement of the interest of the community. He is a Democrat. ------------------------------ From: Nancy T r i c e Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 17:12:01 -0500 Subject: KY-F: BIO: Houtchens, Christopher T; Anderson Co BIO: Houtchens, Christopher T; Anderson Co Ky >From "History of North Washington" Published 1904 Transcribed by: Candy Grubb (candyg@theofficenet.com) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHRISTOPHER T. HOUTCHENS Christopher T. Houtchens, living seven miles east of Bossburg, Stevens county, is engaged in farming and stock raising. He was born in Lawrenceburg, Anderson county, Kentucky, January 19, 1863, the son of Robert and Elizabeth (Sappington) Houtchens, natives of Kentucky. At an early day they settled near Lawrenceburg where they died. They had twelve children of whom there are living: John S.; Susan J., wife of James Cox; James W., in Missoula, Montana; George F.; Samuel R., in Texas; Catherine; Christopher T., our subject; and Robert P., now in Illinois. Our subject attended school in Blandinsville, Illinois, until he was sixteen years of age, and then came to Montana, where, for awhile, he clerked in a store, subsequently purchasing a team and engaging in freighting nine years. In 1888 he came to Spokane, Washington, following the same line of business two years, and in 1890 he came to Stevens county, and secured the homestead upon which he at present resides. Two years he was engaged in mining. Mr. Houtchens has sixty acres of land under cultivation, fifty head of stock, and does considerable freighting. He is, also, quite an extensive dealer in horses. Our subject was married, in 1889, to Miss Katie Campbell, her parents being natives of Scotland, where her father died. Her mother now resides in Spokane. They were the parents of seven children, Peter, Andrew, Lochlan, Sarah, wife of I.A. McClintic, of Latah, Washington, James, Mary, wife of Augustus Rinkert, and Katie, wife of our subject. The political principles of our subject are identified with the Republican party. The following named children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Houtchens Hazel, Stella, Blanche, Rollin and Wayne. ------------------------------ From: Nancy T r i c e Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 17:11:54 -0500 Subject: KY-F: BIO: Blair, John S; Edmonson Co BIO: Blair, John S; Edmonson Co, Ky >From "History of North Washington" Published 1904 Transcribed by: Candy Grubb (candyg@theofficenet.com) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOHN S. BLAIR John S. Blair lives about three miles north of Colville where he devotes himself to farming and raising stock. Since coming here in the 'nineties Mr. Blair has gained his entire property holdings by his own labor, and he deserves much credit for his skill and industry manifested. John S. Blair was born in Edmonson county, Kentucky, on January 10, 1850, the son of James and Mary (Lee) Blair, natives of Kentucky and Tennessee, respectively. They died in Kentucky. The mother was a niece of General Robert E. Lee. Twelve children were born to them as follows: Sarah M., Mary E., Million, Judia, Parasady, Henry B., William E., Josephine, Susie, and three infants unnamed. Our subject had limited opportunity getting an education on account of the disturbance of the Civil War. At the age of sixteen he began working for himself although his father's home was his until his majority. Three years were spent farming, then came seven years as an engineer in Illinois. Then Mr. Blair went to Arkansas, later to Missouri, and finally, in 1890, he went to Stevens county, Washington. He did carpenter work and farming for four years then sold out and travelled all over Oregon. He returned here in 1895 and the next year located his present place, a farm of eighty acres, which he purchased. Mr. Blair has erected good buildings, receives excellent crops annually and handles a nice bunch of stock. In 1871 Mr. Blair married Miss Pink, daughter of James and Sallie (Borders) Elmore, natives of Kentucky. In 1874 they moved to Missouri where they remained until their decease. To Mr. and Mrs. Blair have been born the following children: Elvira; Berta F.; Ida B., deceased; Mary E.; John T.; Annie N.; and Arthur N. Mr. Blair is an active Republican and has the courage of his convictions. In religious persuasion he and his family adhere to the organization known as the Church of God. ------------------------------ From: Nancy T r i c e Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 17:11:44 -0500 Subject: KY-F: BIO: Allison, James N, Madison Co BIO: Allison, James N, Madison Co, Ky >From "History of North Washington" Published 1904 Transcribed by: Candy Grubb (candyg@theofficenet.com) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAMES N. ALLISON James N. Allison. About three miles east from Fruitland is located the fine residence and estate of the subject of this review. A score of years ago, Mr. Allison made his way through the then wild country, selected this place and went back to Fort Spokane, where his family and stuff were, and took the light wagon and made his way to the spot. The heavier vehicles could not be brought in. From that time to the present, he and his faithful wife, who has always displayed true courage and worth, have wrought to bring up their family and build a home, which have been accomplished with gratifying success. James N. Allison was born in Madison county, Kentucky, on November 4, 1839, and his parents, Edward and Sarah Allison, were natives of the same place. In 1847 the family went to Platte county, Missouri, and in the spring of 1850 they came to Nevada county, California, across the plains, meeting difficult with the Indians at Humboldt river. Later they mined at French Corrall and there on January 10, 1866, our subject married Miss Nellie L., daughter of Liba and Sarah (Bradish) Washburn, natives of Vermont and New York, respectively. They removed to Jackson county, Michigan, where Mrs. Allison was born August 15, 1845. Mr. Washburn was a lawyer, made a raise on Poorman's creek, and voted the first Republican ticket in Sutter county, California. He was a prominent and influential man there and in Nevada, where he lived later. He first came alone to seek gold, then returned and brought his family via the isthmus. The mother of Mrs. Allison was an invalid for years and died at French Corrall on September 3, 1864. The father died in Stevens county in 1890 and is buried on Mr. Allison's ranch. Our subject raised stock in Sutter county until 1875 and then went to Paradise valley in Nevada. In 1882 he came with a band of horses to Fort Spokane and thence as we have related to his present place. Five children were in the family then and the hardships of frontier life and journeying in a prairie schooner were all endured by the family. The estate of Mr. Allison is one of the best here, the residence is situated in a most sightly place and the orchard, the first in the country, is fine. Mr. Allison and his wife have labored faithfully and wisely and have manifested great interest in all progres- sive movements and in building up the country. They have six children Armillia F., wife of J.S. McLean; Liba E., married to Laura Thomas; Lucy A., wife of Edward S. Sullivan; Albert F., married to Addie Bennett; Pearl L., wife of James L. Ross; James C., the third white child born in the Fruitland valley. All live near Fruitland. Mrs. Allison's grandfather, Daniel Bradish, was a patriot in the Revolution, an officer in the War of 1812 and died in 1857, in his ninety-ninth year. ------------------------------ From: Nancy T r i c e Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 17:11:50 -0500 Subject: KY-F: BIO: Bethurum, Isaac; Lincoln Co BIO: Bethurum, Isaac; Lincoln Co, Ky >From "History of North Washington" Published 1904 Transcribed by: Candy Grubb (candyg@theofficenet.com) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ISAAC BETHURUM dwells in Stevens county, about nine miles east from Westbranch. He owns a good farm, which is improved with good buildings, fences, and so forth Thirty acres of the place are under cultivation and in addition to handling this, Mr. Bethurum devotes attention to raising stock. He is a man of energy and has done much for the welfare of the community as well as manifesting good industry and wisdom in his own enterprises. He has served as justice of the peace and the people of the district have chosen him as road supervisor, in both of which positions he has shown good ability. Isaac Bethurum was born in Lincoln county, Kentucky, on July 26, 1838 the son of William and Alidia (Herren) Bethurum, natives of Kentucky. The father died in 1849 and left a widow and five children, William, Mary J., Rebecca, James and Isaac, the subject of this article. Mrs. Bethurum married again and came out to Kansas. Two children were born to that union, L. F. and John. Isaac received his education as best he could get it, the facilities for that training being meager. He remained with his parents until twenty-one and then rented land and began life for himself. On April 24, 1861 he enlisted in the Tenth Illinois, Company H, and immediately went to the front. He participated in the battle at Fort Donelson, as well as in others, and also did much scout duty and work as a spy, which was very dangerous. He served all through the war, and on October 19, 1865, was mustered out at Leavenworth to again take up the duties of the civilian. He farmed for a time then freighted and finally went to Missouri and worked, learning the mason trade. In 1889 he located in Spokane and began work at his trade. The next year he took a homestead, where he now dwells, and since that time has given his time and attention to the improvement of his farm. In February, 1866, Mr. Bethurum married Miss Catherine Lawson, a native of Tennessee, and one child was born to them, John W., now in Spokane county. Mrs. Bethurum died in 1875. The next year Mr. Bethurum married Miss Margret E. Lawson, a sister of his former wife and to this union there have been born three children, Ralph, Josephine and Harry. Mr. Bethurum is a strong and ardent Republican and has always manifested a keen interest in the welfare of the party and the interests of the community. He is a member of the G.A.R. and his wife, with himself, belongs to the methodist church. ------------------------------ From: Brenda Jerome Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 19:24:20 -0500 Subject: KY-F: OBIT: Travis - Crittenden Co Crittenden Press 24 Dec 1902, pg 2 col. 4 GEORGIANA TRAVIS Georgiana TRAVIS was born in Crittenden County, Ky., June 25, 1849.
