STONEWALL JACKSON5 CHENOWETH (MALINDA4 DIXON, JAMES BOWMAN3, THOMAS2, ?1) was born June 3, 1863 in Douglas Co., OR, and died September 28, 1939 in Douglas Co., OR. He married MARY ANN HALL June 28, 1887 in Oakland, Douglas Co., OR. She was born 1868 in Oakland, Douglas Co., OR, and died 1942. Notes for STONEWALL JACKSON CHENOWETH: Taken from: REMINISCENCES OF SOUTHERN OREGON PIONEERS Stonewall Jackson Chenoweth, Oakland, Oregon A Person interview, October 6, 1938 Stonewall Jackson Chenoweth was born on the old family homestead on the North Umpqua, June 3, 1863. Father --- John Chenoweth, born in Virginia Mother --- Malinda Dixon, born in Missouri Brother and Sister --- James H., William S., George M., Creed L., Nancy E., Rebecca A., Samuel. Married --- On June 28, 1887 at Oakland, to Mary Ann Hall. Children --- George H., Ethel M., Rachel E., John V., Creed L., Jane M., Ethelyn M. The father of Stonewall Jackson Chenoweth crossed the plains by ox-wagon in 1852, with no unusual incident, and spent the first winter in the Willamette Valley near Eugene, Oregon. There was no trouble with the Indians either on the plains or after arrival in Oregon. Plenty were seen, but they were peaceful and even friendly in their attitude towards the settlers. "Jack" Chenoweth started to school at Oak Creek, riding three miles to school every day. There was only one room in the schoolhouse and about thirty pupils attended. The teacher was James Harpham, father of V. V. Harpham, present U. S. Forest Supervisor. When twelve years of age Mr. Chenoweth went to the Wilbur Academy at Wilbur. Professor Grubbe, a little man with a bald head, was in charge. He and his wife, who also taught in Wilbur, were very fine teachers. There were four teachers in this school, famous throughout Oregon. Jack Chenoweth went to Wilbur for three years. The teacher at Oakland was Mr. Russell. Later he returned to Wilbur for a final year of schooling, after which he became a rancher. In 1853 his father bought a homestead of 160 acres, located on the North Umpqua River buying also an adjoining acreage, the Mills Place, making a total acreage of abut 1600 acres in one block, which is now known as the George Kohlhagen #55 Ranch. Jack Chenoweth first bought the John Canady place of 750 acres located northwest of Oakland in the Rice Hill district. He later sold it and bought, in partnership with her brother, William S., 1200 acres adjoining the town of Wilbur and known as the Benjamin Grubb place. He held this ranch for twenty years, then sold it. In 1905 he went into the sheep business and rented range for the sheep. He rented the Thomas place, 1600 acres, about ten miles east of Oakland. He usually ran about 400 head of breeding ewes and raised annually about that number of lambs. These he marketed each year at an average price of $4.00 per lamb. Wool averaged about six pounds to the ewe and sold on an average of twenty-five cents per pound. He followed this business till 1917 then sold it and moved to Lakeland, Oregon, where he bought a home and retired from active business. Mr. Jack Chenoweth came in contact with many Indians who he studied very closely. He noticed that many white men took squaws for wives. Never did a full blood Indian marry a white woman or a "breed", at least, never to his knowledge. He says that there were two reasons for the early settlers marrying squaws or "breeds". One was that a married man could get 640 acres on a Donation Land Claim whereas a single man could only get 320 acres. Again there were so comparatively few white women available, so it was often a case of take a squaw or stay single. This resulted in a large number of "breed" Indians. The Indians were originally very strong and hardy. They were an out-door race, and no people were more rugged in their natural state. This continued as long as they did not intermarry with the whites. When they did this, the full blood mother would not be any the less healthier, but the off-spring would immediately show indications of weak lungs and this tendency would continue on to the quarter, and eighth, and even lesser breeds. This is the reason there has been so much lung and tubercular trouble among Indian "breeds". This trouble did not exist among the full-bloods, which shows that it was not caused by changes in the living and eating habits which were more or less adopted from the white men, but was a result of inter-marriage between the Indians and the whites, which is now prohibited by law. The same condition existed in Canada where the French Canadians intermarried with the Northern Indians. He says that the Indians were very fond of whiskey, much more so than the white men, although some of the latter developed a full sized thirst at time. He says that the Indians ordinarily were very peaceful, and about the only time they wanted to fight was when under the influence of too much liquor. The Indians, as well as the whites, voted to all elections, or rather, they were assisted in voting by the whites, usually for a consideration of one or more drinks --- never any money. The Indians could not read a ballot, so some white friend would show them how to vote. The Indians secured more fun out of an election than anyone else -- this was a holiday for them... Mr. Chenoweth claims the Indians always voted the Republican ticket as the Republicans owned all the whiskey. More About STONEWALL JACKSON CHENOWETH: Common Name: Samuel

RAPHAEL SETH5 DIXON (RAPHAEL BENTON4, JAMES BOWMAN3, THOMAS2, ?1) was born November 11, 1886 in Douglas Co., OR, and died 1961 in San Francisco, CA. He married (1) FAY BALDWIN 1913. He married (2) CONSTANCE NOE 1923 in Forth Klamath, Oregon. She was born May 12, 1895 in San Franciso, California, and died January 15, 1984. Notes for RAPHAEL SETH DIXON: Obituary of Raphael Seth Dixon Raphael Seth Dixon, 75, Klamath Falls, prominent Oregon cattleman, a native of Douglas County, died Monday at a hospital in San Francisco, according to word received in Roseburg by relatives. He reportedly was hospitalized for treatment of a rare disease. Born in Douglas County, he spent the greater part of his active life in Klamath County. Funeral services are scheduled at 10 A.M. Thursday in the Klamath Falls Presbyterian Church. Grave side services will be held at 4 P.M. at Roseburg Memorial Gardens. Wilson's Chapel of the Roses is in charge of local arrangements. Dixon was a native of Dixonville near Roseburg, named for his father R. B. Dixon, who had also been a prominent Oregon stockman. R. B. and his wife, Nancy Livingston, came West to Oregon by wagon train. Seth Dixon was educated in public schools at Roseburg and San Francisco and later migrated to Arizona to work on a sheep ranch. For a time, after returning to Crook County, he operated a ranch for a brother and in 1902 went into the cattle business himself. He later accumulated large ranch holdings in Klamath and Crook counties. He served many times as judge for horse shows at the California State Fair and elsewhere. He was a member of the Pendleton Round-up Association, Masonic bodies and an honorary pioneer member of the Wood River Pioneers and Old timers. Dixon was born Nov. 11, 1886, and was a veteran of World War I. Surviving are his wife, Constance; a daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Popson of Covina, Calf.; two cousins, Mrs. Jess Shambrook and Mrs. A. E. Kent of Roseburg; and a niece, Mrs. Worth Davis of Roseburg. Take from the "History of Klamath County, Oregon, 1941, page 337 RAPHAEL SETH DIXON Among the interesting characters of the Klamath Basin, who have been more or less prominent in the development of the entire pacific slope region, Raphael Seth Dixon holds a prominent position. A native of Roseburg, Oregon, he was born November 12, 1886, of pioneer stock who braved the dangers of the wilderness to reach the Pacific Coast by wagon train more than eighty years ago. His father, R. B. Dixon, born in Missouri in 1846, was until his death a prominent cattleman of eastern Oregon, his operations extending from Fort Klamath to Crook County. His mother, Nancy Livingston, was born in 1854. Educated in the public schools of Roseburg, Oregon, and San Francisco, California, Raphael Seth Dixon as a young man migrated to Arizona to accept employment on a sheep ranch. Upon his return to Crook County he was engaged by a brother to operate a ranch which the latter had purchased. In 1902 in order to run cattle for himself he relinquished his job with the brother and operated in several places in this State during the next four years. From 1906 to 1919 he was back in Crook County operating with his brother. During a five months period toward the end of the World War, he was stationed at Camp Lewis. When he was mustered out of the army he returned to Klamath County and with his brother commenced buying land. At the present time they own 3400 acres of deeded lands in this county, in addition to a large acreage of leased properties and the Crook County ranch which they own. All is principally devoted to cattle and pasturage which they lease to other cattlemen. Mr. Dixon was twice married, first in 1913 to Miss Fay Baldwin of Prineville. She died, leaving one daughter, Dorothy B. Dixon, born in Portland, December 12, 1919, and recent graduate of the University of California, at Berkeley. His second marriage took place at Fort Klamath in 1923, and untied him with Miss Constance Noe, born in San Francisco May 12, 1900, descendant of an early California family which traces its ancestry to Castile. Her father was Miguel Noe, born in San Francisco in 1857 and a prominent attorney before his death in San Jose in 1908. Her mother, Mary Campbell, born in San Francisco, May 5, 1859, died in Oakland in 1939. Mr. Dixon is a very active and energetic man who is found about his ranch every day doing a man's work, for he cannot tolerate idleness. A remarkable personality, he was for many years intensely interested in the production of the Pendleton, Oregon Round Up, and other rodeo entertainments as far east as Cheyenne, Wyoming. He is a strong Republican in politics and fraternally is affiliated with the Masonic Lodge in Prineville as well as the Scottish Rite and Shrine organizations of Ashland. His hobbies are the development of horses, hunting and fishing. More About RAPHAEL DIXON and FAY BALDWIN: Marriage: 1913
