Mabel Kinnison Born Ca, 1887 Baker County, Oregon

kentuckboy97 — 2010-02-09 19:05:25Z

Would like any information on Mabel Kinnison, born ca. 1887, to Joel & Mary (Chandler) Kinnison. Mabel had a sister, Myrtle, about the same age.

Mabel married William Silvers (Dick) Morris, who was born in Missouri, ca. 1891. They had a son, Richard K. Morris, born ca. 1917. William Morris supposedly died sometime after 1930, possibly in California. Dick, as he was called by his family was my wife's aunt, who was born after his death. Richard is said to have a son, William Silvers Morris, who was born ca. 1951 and died ca. 1981 in California.

Joel Kinnison is buried in the Mt. Hope Cemetery, in Baker County, Oregon.

I would appreciate any information anyone may have on Mabel Kinnison Morris, and her parents, and her son, Richard, and his descendants.

Thank you! Dennis

Hi Greg:

I see that you know he was in Coos County around the 1870's. You might already have this, but just in case:

The Oregonian (Portland, OR)March 30, 1874 Page 3
Coos Bay Items
Amos Rogers, at present engaged in the hotel business at Roseburg, will take charge of Central Hotel at Marshfield, in about two months, the present lessee's, Sanford & Cheeney, retiring.

The Oregonian (Portland, OR)June 15, 1874 Page 1
Coos Bay Items
Amos Rogers, formerly of Roseburg, has assumed the position of host at the Central Hotel, Marshfield.

Most interesting of all is an article from the Oregonian, November 21, 1904. It has more answers for you regarding his family. I can't seem to get it to attach, so if it doesn't, send me a message with your email address and I will email it to you.

Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska; Washington County:

Anselum Arnold was one of the first settlers in the new town of Fort Calhoun, Washington County, Nebraska around the year of 1854. Also at this time, there was one place for voting in the county, at Florence post office, with the following Judges of Election: Anselum Arnold, Charles How and William Bryant.

The first census of the Territory was made in accordance with a proclamation of the acting Governor, dated October 21, 1854, and in accordance with the returns, one Councilman and two Representatives in the Legislative Assembly, were apportioned to Washington County. James C. Mitchell was chosen Councilman and Anselum Arnold and A. J. Smith were chosen members of the House of Representatives

The book, History of Nebraska notes that Anselum Arnold was representing Washington County in the first territorial house of representatives in 1855 as was Andrew J. Smith, as noted above.

During the times of Indian troubles on the prairie, commissions were issued to territorial militias. In 1855, Mr. Arnold was assigned to such a commission, the First Regiment where he was “commissary”.

Mr. Arnold is credited with building the first home in Washington County, at Fort Calhoun. It is said his son, William, was the first white child born in the county. At the end of his life, Anselum was an Indian Agent in Mississippi and received the title of “Major”. Indian Agents were appointed after the formation of the Indian Department, later called, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, under the Department of the Interior. This shifted the responsibility of Indian Affairs from the Secretary of War to territorial governors, relieving the military of this duty. Agents were paid roughly $1200 - $1800 annually and were awarded housing and food allowances. Agents were required to be able to read and write as they made reports and correspondence was an important part of their jobs. They were also accountants as they had to maintain records of payments and disbursements.

WILLIAM ARNOLD

Illustrated History of Union and Wallowa Counties, Oregon

WILLIAM ARNOLD. - One of the best known men in northeastern Oregon, capable and upright, a pioneer of the country and one who has faithfully done his part in the development of the same, having met the dangers and hardships and self-denials incident to a life on frontiering in this region in early days, the subject of this article is eminently fitted for representation in this volume, and it is with pleasure that we accord space to him, and we desire to add that in connection with his abilities and courage, he has manifested excellent moral qualities and integrity that is constant and unswerving.

William Arnold was born in Washington county, Nebraska, on March 16, 1856, being the son of Ansel and Jenett (Faster) Arnold. The father came to Nebraska as Indian agent in 1854, and also gave some attention to farming in that state. In 1858, he was called hence by the messenger of death, and his remains sleep in St. Joseph, Missouri. We have but little information of our subject until 1877, when he made the trip to the west, landing in LaGrande in that year. The following year he accompanied a drove of cattle to Cheyenne as one of the drivers, and then returned to Oregon. On this trip, while they were crossing the trail near Boise, Idaho, they were attacked by the Indians, and for twelve days the fight continued, the stockmen finally being able by dint of almost superhuman endurance and the most intrepid daring and perilous fighting, to get away with the entire drove of cattle. Later he took another trip through Nebraska and Colorado, and then returning to Oregon took up the stock business. In 1884 Mr. Arnold went to the Coeur d' Alene country and commenced his career of driving stage. He handled the ribbons there for two years and then came to this section and has since operated in the staging business. In cold and heat, amid storms and sunshine, he has taken his seat on the well-known concord vehicles and guided the horses over the trail for nearly twenty years, and there is not a man in the entire region that has so many warm friends and is so widely known as William Arnold, the capable, faithful, and courageous stage driver of Elgin.

Mr. Arnold was married to Miss Cinda, daughter of Jackson and Martha Graham, on June 1, 1887, and four children have gladdened this happy union, as follows: Earl, Mable, Guy and Lolace. Mrs. Arnold was born on September 9, 1868. Mr. Arnold makes his home in Elgin and is operating the line from that place to Joseph. He is affiliated with the A.O.U.W. in Elgin. Our subject is held in high esteem by all who know him, and his figure is familiar at all points along the line, and friends are everywhere, and we are pleased to state that his upright life and kind demeanor have fully merited all these enconiums bestowed by admiring friends.

GUY ARNOLD
Guy Arnold, Pioneer Descendant, Stricken
Guy R. Arnold, lifetime resident of the Grande Ronde Valley and John Day, died Monday at his home in Summerville at the age of 70. Arnold was born in Elgin. His father, William Arnold, came to La Grande in 1877. In 1884 he began driving a stage between Elgin and Joseph, a career for which he is still remembered. History books describe him as "the capable, faithful and courageous stage driver of Elgin." Green Arnold, Guy Arnold's great uncle, is also remembered in history books as one of Union County's early pioneers, as was his great aunt, Hannah Arnold Chaplin. Her husband, Daniel Chaplin, is given credit in history for location of the railroad in La Grande. He donated the land which made it possible.

WW I Veteran
Arnold had spent the last few winters in Yuma, Ariz., and had just returned to this area when he died. He was a World War I veteran and a member of the Christian church in Elgin. He also belonged to the Elks Lodge in John Day and the American Legion in La Grande. Survivors include two sons, L. Glenn Arnold, Concord, Calif., and Guy R. Arnold, Pendleton; a stepdaughter, Lavada Snyder, Alameda, Calif.; one brother, Earl Arnold, Spokane, Wash.; three sisters, Mabel Brack, Athena, Wilma Smith, Portland; Lois Arnold-Witty-McGoldrick-Smith, North Powder; five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Funeral services will be Thursday at 2 p.m. at Crippin and Daniels Chapel with concluding services at Elgin cemetery.

Re: James Elliott Gentery

Eellitta — 2009-08-20 04:55:59Z

I found a newspaper article that might possibly be your James Gentry:

The Oregonian newspaper
April 27, 1887
page 4

Mr. James Gentry of North Powder, on his way to the timber last Friday morning, and while riding upon the running gear of the wagon, his legs suspended in close proximity to the ground, his right limb came in contact with a stump in the road, breaking it just above the ankle. Gentry was brought to Baker City and is now under medical treatment.

Date: February 15, 1903
Location: Oregon
Paper: Oregonian
page 7

Perry Cavin and George Poyster were arrested by Sheriff Brown in Pendleton, Thursday, on the charge of burglary. They stole a lot of grain sacks from J.E. Gentry last week, and after selling them to a second-hand man, the young culprits discovered that the officers were on their trail and skipped out for the West. Sheriff Brown followed and captured them at Pendleton as stated. Both boys are over 16 years of age, and if convicted will be liable to imprisonment in the penitentiary.

I am not related. I just like to do research.

There is not a genealogy club persay in Baker County that I am aware of. We are very fortunate to have the Baker County Library in Baker City as it has excellent publications and documents to use for ones own genealogy or relative or friend. The LDS History Center at the church is another excellent source of information as well.
We have a very good website that has a lot of information on Baker County as well as the rest of the Eastern Oregon counties. It can be accessed at www.oregongenealogy.com. We also have the Baker County Historical Society which is another very good group to belong to.

Can someone tell me if there is a genealogy society or club in Baker County that is currently active. I'm new to the area and am interested in joining.
Thanks.

Thanks Gary. I've used your website often and have it bookmarked.

After I posted my query I found the marriage record I was looking for. Keith Graves married Margaret Mead in Idaho on November 15, 1925.

Thanks again. And thanks for the offer to get the marriage license for me. I also live in Baker, Keating actually. We transplated here from Burns a little over a year ago so I am learning the ropes as far as what is available research wise at the library and the courhouse. I volunteer to do lookups for others. This query was for my own family research.
