JOHN VERNON
Rickreall, Or., Aug. 9.
John Vernon, an old and highly respected pioneer of Polk County, died at his home three miles east of this place, last evening. He had been in poor health for the past two years, and his death resulted from a complication of troubles. The remains will be buried tomorrow at Salt Creek.
John Vernon was born in Cole County, Missouri, May 28, 1830. In 1853 he crossed the plains to Oregon. Being without money he drove a team for his board, arriving at Oregon City in the Autumn of 1853. Early in the following Spring he moved to Polk county, settling near Buell, where he resided until 1863, when he purchased the farm where he has since resided. In 1856 he was married to Miss S.J. Byerley, a native of Indiana, and a pioneer of 1852. In addition to his widow, Mr. Vernon is survived by eight children, all of who are grown. They are: Mrs. J.A. Allen, Mrs. J.W. Allen, Mrs. John Young, Alfred and Alice, of Rickreall; Mrs. J.W. Buster, of Independence, and John H., of Oregon City.
Deceased served in the Indian War of 1855, and under the late Colonel J.W. Nesmith.
