The Late Mrs. Roundtree.

The Centralia Chronicle says of Mrs.
Emeline G. Roundtree, who died near
Stayton, Or, November 81, 1892: She was
born in Cumberland county, KY. From
there she moved to Knox county, Ill. At
the age of 20 she was married to James H.
Roundtree, and, in 1852, with her husband
and three children, emigrated across the
plains to Oregon, where she and two
daughters remained during the winter till
March, 1853 She, with her two daughters,
came to Washington to join her husband
and son, who had settled on Gray's harbor
in the fall, and had suffered great hard
ships and privariOns during the winter.
They were the first white family to set foot
OF the shores of Gray's harbor, but owing
to the seclusion and desolation of the place
they were compelled to abandon it, be-
ing entirely dependent upon the mercies
of the Indians for accommodations and
transportation to and from civilization.
The deceased was one of those bold, fear
less women who never feared man, beast
or savage. She had not been there three
months until she soundly whipped two or
three of the Indians, and gave them to
understand that she was chief of that Illi-
pee. However they did not like to recog-
nize her as such until their chief paid her
visit one day IN company with six of his
warriors. and thought he would show her
and them also his bravery and superiority
by showing contempt for her orders
by going into one apartment of her
house where she had always told them
they could not enter But she soon
changed his mind, as we'll as his line
of march. as she went after him with an
uplifted heavy ak, just ready to part his
hair in the middle. The other savages set
up howl of alarm, and he retreated and
apologized in hurry. And after that VIC
tory she had no more trouble whatever
with Indians. In the spring of "a tho
family moved to Olympia and spent the
summer. then in the fall took up a claim
on Black river. near the Indian reserva-
ton, where they resided until about
twelve years ago. They leased their place
and bought property in Centralia, where
they have ever since resided until within
the last year. The deceased leaves a hus-
band. one son and three daughters. Mrs.
NJ. A. Borst-McKee. of this place being the
eldest. Mrs. J. J. Weaver OF Boisfort, Sec
ond, and Mrs Gilbert Ward, of Montesauo.
