Mrs. Borah Morgan Butler, a daughter of a aoldler ot the Revo-lutlon, came to Oregon as a pioneer In 1862; died near Junction City In 186 and was burled In the P. Caldwell cemetery four miles south of Junction City Mm. Stone's purpose in writing the state regent was expressed In her hope that some way might lie provided by which the grave of Barah Morgan Butler could be Identified, and also, mat some ot her descendants could be located In this valley. Since this chapter la nearer than any other to this resting place of a "real daughter" the state placed the letter with us suggesting that, if possible, some assistance be given Mrs.

Stone. In response to Uiis suggestion plan were at once made for a search In the Caldwell cemetery. Mrs. Adelaide V. Baker, of the Keal Daughters committee of the chapter.

corresponded with the postmaster of Junction City and obtained directions for locating the cemetery (the tharks of the committee are due the postmaster for his very kindly cooperation). With the acurute directions Mrs, Baker and three 1 bther persons had no difficulty in finding the place. Cemcowy Easily Fonud The Caldwell -cemetery is about two and one-half miles northwest of Meadowview. The nearest approach to it highway Is by a lane that leads to the Joel limy the farm. At a right angle with the end ot the lane and at a distance' from it of about sixty rods is the Caldwell cemetery.

The site of about one-half -acre Is on slight knoll, and is well fenced in. from the large field that surrounds It Two magnificent fir trees center the space. Aside from the good fencing, signs of care and attention are lacking. The ground for the most part is covered with a dense tangle ot myrtle ana. sweet-bfiar.

There are not more than six well preserved headstones. Although a difficult task, the search for graves and markers was thoroughly made. If the rave of Sarah Morgan Butler was at one time marked, the ravages of time and the elements have destroyed the traces. Investigation ot the origin of the Caldwell cemetery brought out the story (told by an old resident) ot the parcel ot land being given for burial purposes the Rufus P. Caldwell family.

(Mrs. Caldwell was a niece of Sarah Morgan Butler). Formerly the main traveled highway passed the Caldwell place and the cemetery was reached from it by a short drive-way. But with the changes of conditions an-othe'r road, to the east, became the main highway; the cemetery tell more- into disuse; the driveway to It'was closed, and the otd burial surrounded by a field, remains" Q. mute reminded of 'the early days when pioneers were there laid, to res Search for Grave Fruitless.

In Delaware he wttH a land owner, first magistrate and a warden of the Church of Eng Impelled, no doubt, by same Incentive that brought him to the shores of a new wllder-noss and, In 1728, blazed a. trail Into that portion of.

old Virginia that Is now West Virginia and be- came the first settler In Berkeley 'county. "This was the first cov- ored wagon -trip recorded of a Morgan. Although comparatively It was as perilous, no doub as those longer wagon trips made by his descendants When Oregon was the goal." With Catherine, his wife, nobly sharing the hardships and privations of frontier life, Morgan Mor- gan built his cabin and established a home. Col. Morgan had land grant, or of 1000 acres by Virginia pa ent.

He was builder, of the first highway In the state; was a member of the county court, and, In 1740, fostered the establishment of Morgan New Axminsters $34 and up 1 New Wiltons i 85 and up' New patterns, new colors, finer equalities. great-grandfather of Sarah Morgan Butler. Of tha eight children of Col. Morgan, two sons, Zuckwlll and David are the most renowned. Zackwlll was the founder and the first permanent settler of Morgan's Town now Morgantown.

In the records ot Old Swedes Church, Wilmington, Is nn entry for 1721 Morgan Morgan and wife Ca Serine's child, David, born May 12. When nine years old tiaviu went with his parents on their covered wagon trip to West Virginia. At the age ot nineteen, In a description given in documents In Col. Washington's Journals, David was with Virginia troops in the French and Indian war. He was a surveyor by commission and with Washington established the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Later he became the famous Indian fighter of the Mononguhela valley. Several historians are authority for the story of David Morgan's encounter with two Indians near Prlckett's Fort in 1779. No Indian story Is more marvelous or thrilling than that ot David Morgan who rose from a sick bed to fight for two of his beloved children. Dr. Dcllass in his history of Virginia says: "One of the earliest settlers of the frontier was David Morgan, a man of great energy of character and sterling worth.

This was the character he bore among the seltlors of the border and he took care to imprint these traits on his own fam ily." This was the grandfather of Sarah Morgan Butler. Morgans Staunch Patriae In the struggle for Independence David Morgan and his sons proved themselves defenders and loyal patriots. Muster rolls of the Revolution show that David and four ot his sons served In the same company of Monongahela company militia. This company under Capt. William i Haymond, was enlisted' for duty at Prickett Fort and served on expedition to.

Pennsylvania. -(Nearly all the members of the company fore the name of Morgan and were relatives.) One of the four soldier sons of David Morgan was James. James Morgan and Hannah Cox were the parents of Sarah Morgan who was born Dec. 7, 1785, In Monongahela county. West Virginia.

Sarah was one of ten children. She had the companionship of seven brothers. On Feb. 4, 1805, Sarah became the wife Jonothan Butler of Pennsylvania. -The marriage was performed by Rev.

Manley of Mor gantown. The next year, 1806, the families of 'James Morgan ana Jonathan Butler moved to Wayne county, Ohio. The journey Into the Ohio wilderness was. made on horseback; Sarah carrying her baby in her arms. In the Ohio home ten other children were born to the Butlers.

In childhood ana youtn tnese children knew the hardships, per ils and obs acles of pioneer lire. But the lure of the frontier remained with them, for In 1835, when AStabllshlnB homes of their they pressed onto the west, and settled on the frontier of Indiana Jonothan and Sarah Butler joining the resistless exodus from Ohio to Indiana, took up their home near their children. Several of Sarah's brothers, also found homes on the Indiana border, where, In true Morgan spirit, they defended the settlements against of Indians. -Oregon Yearned For After a number ot years conditions developed that were not conducive to the satisfaction of the settlers. Malaria became prevalent and there was much unrest.

At this time, (1851), while making oreoarations to leave Indiana, Jonathan Butler passed away. An account ot the conditions ana tne story of Sarah Morgan Butler's subsequent experiences In crossing the plains to Oregon have been told by Mrs. Gainer (her granddaughter) and are preserved in these words: "My people seemed to hear a call from the wild west and were anxious to respond to It. They began talking of emigrating to Oregon. They had heard of its fertile soil and healthful climate and so were desirous of leaving Indiana.

At that time Indiana full of malaria. No one seemed exempt from it and many died. My people hud Invested most of their capital in land. They had cqmfortable homes and' prospect ot better times, but, like many others, were roatlPHK to leave. "Daniel W.

The operetta "Polished under the of Miss Eunice Pearce, carried us Into the country where we met many sunbonnet maidens and overall boys, whose simple, rustic but refined manners were humorously contrasted with those ot Mrs. O'Brien and her daughters who had recently returned from a visit to the city where they had acquired many affected ways.

Of course there was a mystery plot woven around the disappearance of some valuable. Jewels. This was cleverly solved and the unfortunate victim ot suspicion was a heroine In the end.
