AN OLD PIONEER.
SHE PASSED PEACEFULLY AWAY
EIGHTY YEARS OF AGE.

Sketch of the Life of Sarah TtlIey
HodgdOn, Buried i'm Olympia
Last Week was Widely known
Here In Early Days.
The Bucoda Enterprise has a long sketch
Of Mrs. Sarah Tilley Hodgdon, the widely
known pioneer, who was buried in the
cemetery here last week She was born in
Montgomery county, Kentucy, October q,
1873, and lived there till she was ten years
Of age, when she moved to Indianapolis
Indiana, where she was married to Abram
Tilley in 1888. In 1889 they moved TO Iowa
and in 1852 they crossed the plains in emf
grant wagons, arriving at milwaukee, Ore
gon, October 1st.
In May, 1858, they moved to Mound
Prairie Washington, taking up a donation
claim, there being at that time not to ex-
ceed half dozen white families within
fifteen or twenty miles in any direction.
Those were the days of frontier life indeed.
The sounds made by the savages could be
heard for many miles, especially when they
were having their war dances. The prai-
ries which are now made up of enclosed
commons, dotted now and then with
bunch of Indian ponies or band of the
Hudson Bay companys cattle. The grass
upon these prairies then grew from three
to four feet high
In time of the Indian war of 1866 most
of the families in the surrounding country
found shelter in what was known for years
afterWard ais the old Grand Mound fort,
but most of the time during the war the
Tilley family remained on their farm, and
were not molested in the least by the hos
tile Indians, who often visited the place,
but appreciated the kind treatment they
received.
From the early hfties the Tilley home
stead was known far and wide as stop
ping place for the weary traveller, and
Grandma Tilley's good biscuits and hot
coffee were renowned from the Columbia
river to Puget Sound. AS the country be-
came more thickly settled, the IiIley hotel
became widely known, and during the old
staging days from Olympia to Monticello,
on the Cowlitz river, near its mouth, the
Tilley station was frequently spoken Of as
one of the great attractions by the many
passengers over that route during the carry
history Of Washington Territory.
In '57-8, the time of the great Frazer
river gold excitement in British Columbia,
there was a great rush to that country, and
the stopping places along the old stage
road were greatly crowded. Upon the COM
pletion of the Northern Pacific railroad as
far as Tenino in 1872, the staging days from
Olympia, any further south than Tenino
were ended.
March 4, 1874, Mr.. Tilley departed this
life after an illness of eighteen days and in
1876 the Tilley farm was sold to one Mr..
Hackshaw from Seattle, Grandma Tilley
