numerous family came at the same
time, except two married daughters
and son, Edison. He at once bought
the claim of Ralph a. Decker, whose
cabin stood a little northwest from
the present dwelling of his grandson,
"Boy IIerrick." During the year 1853
he entered the east half of north east

pretentious house. which is still stand

About 1868, he and his wife Separa-

he sold his place to another son, Au-

Gault. This place was known many
years as the Gault place. He contin-
ued to live principally with his son,
Edison, until 1866, when with another
son, "Eollie' ~. Dctorest,) who had
returned from California, removed to
Bear Grove and bought a farm there.
