Cousin took me to his sister's who had married Mr. T. J. Pomeroy. My cousin's father, Edward Trimble, was killed on the plains in 1846 by the Indians. From Salem, I went to Linn Co., Oregon, to my only relatives in Oregon that I had ever seen before. Part of the time Emeline stayed with Mr. W. W. Allingham's family. She goes on to talk about the kindness of the people in Washington and Oregon, how they provided for her, and the beauty of the country.
Nobody know how hard it was.
Emeline stayed in Linn Co. for about two years, then went to Monmouth, Polk Co. where she attended the Christian College. They captured him on his way to his appointment. He carried no arms, according to the Quaker custom. They lived in that area for five years. The timber in Wis. looked like shrubbery beside those great trees.
