NOTABLE OLD WEN.
Oregon Pioneers Aged From Four
to Five Score Years.

j After serving in the active
ministry sixty-seven years and
founding three colleges he has
taken a briet vacation that he
may visit his daughter, Mrs. J.
S. Rhodes, of Philemath. This
announcement comes of DR.. Jere-
miah Kennoyer, of Colfax, Wash
ington.
| When Rev. T. J. Conner was
sent by the q. B. Missionary
Board with church colony con-
sisting of Uncle Jimmy Edwards,
Father J. B. Lichenthaler, L. N.
Price, Rev. NJ. M. Crow, several
of the Mason families aud about
a hundred other people who set
tied in Benton county, Jerry"
Kennoyer, then young minister
in the territory of Wisconsin,, re-
signed his work to join the. num-
Der on their western migration.
This journey across the plains
was recently lived over again by
Uncle jimmy Edwards and his
friend DR.. Kennoyer who re-
counted many amusing incidents
among which was the following:
The younger clan found a
barrel of alcohol which was in
the train strictly tor medical
purposes, and w. D. Hare, hired
hand in the employ of Mr.. Ed
| wards, partook of enough to make
him eloquent. Climbing upon
some logs, he made patriotic
address in which he declared he
had a vision that he would one
day either be governor of Ore
gon or come nearly winning that
prize. Many of that train of
Immigrants recalled the strange
incident when the same w. D.
Hare lacked but one vote of win
ming the nomination in the state
convention and the democratic
nominee W. w. Thayer was
elected governor.
Oregon was sparsely settled,
was schoolless and almost church
less. Approaching the situation,
Uncle Jerry founded Sublimity
Institute, which was prepared to
do college work; and half a dozen
years after, his example was fol-
lowed by Rev. T. J. Conner, in
founding Philomath College
within the heart of the United
Brethren colonial territory.
After serving as presiding
elder for many years, Elder Ken
noyer moved to Eastern Wash
ington where he founded Wash
ington College formerly known
as Huntsville Seminary, and his
last great venture in the educa-
tional work was to establish Ed
wards College, in the same state.
It may be interesting to those
whose parents have associated.
this plain old-fashioned preacher
with Peter Cartwright to know
that Notwithstanding his busy
life in a new country almost i'm
poverished with undeveloped op-
portunities that he has educated
family of thirteen children,
four of whom are ministers.
He is now eighty-six years of
age. and believes that he and
his lifelong friend, Uncle Jimmy
Edwards, in his ninetieth year,
will run Uncle Cob Blair, a
merry race in extending the CEN
tury limit. When asked to dis
close the secret of his alchemy,
he said ga life properly lived
naturally lengthens itself enough
so that the passing beyond be-
comes easy"
Some one has suggested the
following picture as suitable for
the homes of Benton pioneers;
Uncle Jerry Kennoyer itinerant
minister at 81; Uncle Jimmy |
Edwards riding a bicycle at 90;
and Uncle Cob Blair tells a good
story at 100. These have been
handed down from former gen
erafiOns.
