Mrs. c. B. ("Aunt Lucy") Ide, the only contem­

poraneous document in existence, which is now

in the keeping or the '-dsconsin Sta ta Historical

Society, has been used as the basis of this

narrative. To this acoount I have added such

supplementary incidents from my own porsonal

racollections as seem to me to add interest and

historical -value to the story.

As has often bean stated t~are ware forty-two parsons

in this party when it left Mondovi, but I have yet to see ln

print the statement that it cnmntually arrived 1n -.,·.aeh.ington

Territory forty-three strong, the party having been augmented

en route by the advent of Gifford, Jr., the son or I-,~r. & :\irs.

John Gifford, who was born on August 2nd nt tha foot of the

weighing from 1500 to 1600 pounds per horso. Six or seven

members of the party had been members or the choir or the

Baptist Church 1n Mondovi, so we never lacked for music.

On our third night out, at -..~·1nona, "tclinnesotn, where

we crossed the Mississippi River, there was wind and rain and

some snow and we were permitted to camp in the Fn1r ground

enclosure and put our horses in the barns;. a few of the

party later going to the hotel for tho night.

Snow and wind, so we went only five miles, camping

in a pasture with a barn for the horses, after which the waa·thor

cleared. The next day being Sunday wo ramainad in camp, as we

had decided to make Sunday a necessary day of' rost for both

ourselves and horses.

1·.e a.tarted in the rain and jmll'nayed through a nice

farming country for t..rie noxt three days, camping on tho night

of the 8th at the Eager farm belonging to a brother of Luther

Euser, which was a little ~ouch of homo, espoe!ally for tho

women of the party. euring the next two days we travnllod

about .forty-five miles, takins us into Iowa on :,!ny 10th. It

rained and the roads V1are men~ora.bly r.mddy 1-111 tho ,,;ay f .. oross

Clear Lake nnd li'ort Doc~ge, whteh was thon a nice 11 ttle city

of 6 1000 people, with beautiful buildings.

May 17th I""""\

Heedless to say thore were no highway sicns in tb.ose

days and small choice as to whi c..'11. ro.ads to take • Los. ving

Fort Dodge we rook the wrong road and had to turn back, finally

camping 6 miles from our starting point. Hare we had the hardest

thunder and rain storm to date, which soaked everything 1n the

wagons tbru and thru, including, please note, the beds. Accord­

ing to Aunt Lucy Ide, as Mrs.C. B. Ide was affectionately called

b~- all, she was blue. when she saw the oond.itlon o~ hor own wagon

but cheered when she found everybody else also had a wet bed,

and her sunny disposition got and made a lot of fun out of the

incident,

May 20th ~e saw our first hill in the State of Iowa and, again

ace ord.ing to Aunt Lucy Ido, were so thrilled v:e fal t · like kiss­

ing it. Fro~ t..~are on we had continual rain and muc until. the

24th• ~t1hen we stopped for supplies at Dunlap, a 11ttlo town

remembered for its fine churches and nice residences.

The night of tho 25th we camped near ,·;oodbine, nnd the

noxt n1Lht oarepec1 on the banks of the Boyer rivGr, which stream

-.~·e followed all tho way to Council Bluff a v,i thout much 1no1den t.

·,·.a were thus 15 days crossing the thsn muddy state of Iowa.

May 28th v·,o crossed the muct.::y looking Missouri River in box cars

over a ra:llroad bridge, into Oma.ha, Uebraska, whero wo GOt our

first ::1ail and news from ho~-ne. Accordlng to the dla r;,/ of Au..vit

Luc.;r Ide it ·was thero we hac oysters, lobstor.3 1 otc. on our

not be tal-::an as indication of our daily fare, but wh1.ch r:!a.de a

real bat of our Omaha stay.

on the banks of the Platte river. Scarcely had wo set up our

tents when a sudden wind and rain storm flattened them into

so 1!'.any wet and sodden heaps. It was all in tho day's wo:rk up

to set the cold and flopping shelters/again and occupy them.

'He again camped 011 the Platte, a wide, m-:..1nc:; looking

river, flov1ing thru the dead level plains of Nebraska.

~~·e camped a 11 t tle way from tha town of . Columbus#

where tho time changed for the first time. At this point we

had another experience with a thunder and lightnins storm,

tents being blown doim uround our heads before we ht:1d finished

:raising them. While there we had .many callo1~s ur£1ng us to .

also walked thru camp and discussed with each other the wonder­

ful freight wagons. Finally one of them addressed the heavily

armed fellow, who turned to him to answer a question. At

that instant the second man asked him a quast1on and when the

heavily armed fellow turned to answer him he found himself

looking into the muzzle of a six-shooter and heard the eom­

man~ ''Stick •am up," which he immediately did. These two

men thon dlsarmed him, showed him their badges as officers,

hand-cuffed and put an Oztegon boot on him, put him in a hack

and took him off to jail. It seamed he was wanted for killing

a man about 100 clles from Cheyenne.

Started on our way at 9:00 o'clock, accompanied by

1:r. and Mrs. Prank Hu."lter of Cheyenne went wi tt. us five miles

heard celebration cannonading et Fort s~nder aJl the time.

Drov-:1 22 miles and camped naa1• the Little La.ramie Ri var.

Had to cross the river at this point., but found

tha toll brid~e would be quite an expanse for us so, lad

by a man •;:ho had been dri vlng along w1 th our train for a

fm1 d.ays, we attemped to ford the river. Thts man was

driving six mules anrl two wagons tandem. Ha crossed first

s.n~ than as each wagon reached the opposite aide he hitched

his mules on in front of our horses and pulled tho wagons

up the bank. Just as the wagons started across,the owner

of the toll-bridge rushed upstrea~ and began thro~ing rail­

road ties into the river, hopin; to foul the wagon~ nnd •

horsos anc:. stop our crossing. Mr. Gardner sftzed his gun

and rushed over a!1d thraa tanec hil!t, succeeding in sto;;ping

hirr. from throv1ing the ties in, and we were able to got across

and continue on our way.

Crossed a spur of' tho mountains o.n!.1 got on one of

the worst pieces of r•oad eacou.i"ltored op. tho whole trip •• ·~t

tirr~os 1 t took five or rdx mon to lrnop the wagons right side

up. At the foot of the hill we came to Rock Creok, anc1 had

to pay 30¢ a team to cross.

safely over.

~ July 12th Passed thru Bridger's Pass. This was a sand mou:1tain

standing between two green clad mouJ1tains. It looked more like

a splendid picture than refility.

July 12th ~ie came to another= toll bridge asking 50_i a team.

This bridge was built over the ~ld ford, so after going out

and thraatoning to tear the bridge up and go over we were

allowed to pass fo~ 10¢ a teum.

July 13th Started at the usual time. Our Dakota friends with

tho mule team left us thero and haaded for Calir"ornia. In

the afternoon wa had the hardest experience of the whole trip.

'/;e came to Bit tar CraekJ reputedly a poison s trear:i. ~':o wore

told not to stop there nor usa the water for ou.rsulves or . horses, so we had to travel on all night long; a beautiful

1Y!oonlight :1.lght. One or the horses got loose and drank his

flll, tvith n.o ill effects. 'This was a gloomy mountain road

thru deop cliffs, with tov•er.ing ~"'oaks and 11 ttle valleys with

great beds of alkali.

July 14th All vary tired, and so were the tea.ms after the all-

night drlvo. It was Sundal arid we rested. ·During tho p!'a­

vious afternoon and night wo had travolled. over f:O ~ilos.

July 15th

It was probably a long time before the Rocky Mountains

echoed again to the voices of so many good singers r-ogether.

Going :bhru deep ca:·1yons 1 past rugged rocks·., we

t1~avalled 18 miles before camping, but stopped on the way at

a cave large enough to hold a couple of hundred Jl.)rsons,

wl~era ·,~a carved our names as many had dona before.

July 17th We came to Goose Creek, in which they had put a

lot of boulders to make forcins impossible, and ~here thora

was a vary swift current. Thero was a toll bridge tharo

·!!!th a gate locked with heavy chains and a padlock •:.:hich

they would not open unless y;e gave thom -ino.oo a wa.0on.

Our captain, Clint Gardnor, offered ~:l0.00 to pass all the

taa!l'l.s ovsr, and said if they refused he would cut the ga to

open and cross free. Tho man n t th0 ga ta then called 1:is

Clint Gardner, our captain, leveled his Maynurd rifle on it

and wo hs.d venison for several days. Ha was a wonderful

shot at moving objects - t·"ha best I ever saw, and our camp

was greatly indebted to him for many a supply of frosh meat

and gama.

He proved to baa wise and capable leader of the

Company. In the next two or three days several attempts

wera ::-rade to steal some of our horses, wh1.ch attempts we

cha.rged to the men at the toll bridge.

another stage station where fortifications had been thro\m

up, windows l>arred, ditch dug, etc. in proparatlon for

Indian attack, as Indians had robbed the stage in this

section many times. Still v.·a saw none. A:b this point.,

Mrs. Ida and Elma Hun tar climbed a diffieul t rocky slope

of about 100 feet to see the source of a very beautif'ul

waterfall. Tl1ey found a shallow pool li~e a little lake,

in which there ware at least a dozen fountain -like jotD

explored tho pool but Viera afraid to go too n-aar to the

Willis Baldwin first came to Columbia County in 1865, but later 68, returned to Illinois where he was raised, Two years later he came west again and homesteaded south of Dayton. He sold that place and moved to town. In 1883 he bought 420 acres close by the Blessingers on Johnson Hollow. He made a very attractive place of it and was most proud of the 250 tree orchard he set out. Willis Jr. farmed that and additional acres long after his father retired. (Page 70)

HISTORY

OF

WASHINGTON

1894

WILLIS S. BALDWIN

Willis s. Baldwin, a prominent citizen of Columbia county, was born in Gibson county, Indiana, about three miles west of Owens­ville, March 8, 1832, a son of Greenburg and Lucy (Ruslem) Baldwin, the father a Southerner by birth, probably a native of North Carolina, and the mother born in Tennessee. The latter died when our subject was but twelve years of age, and his father's death occurred only one year later, in Washington county, Illinois, where they had moved in 1840.

Willis s. Baldwin grew to manhood in Washington county, and resided there until 1865. In that year he crossed the plains to the Pacific Northwest, following the old stage route through the south side of the Platte, Fort Laramie, North Platte, crossing Green river near the mouth of Bitter creek, thence to Granger, up Ham's fork of Bear river, and by way of Soda Springs, Snake river, Gibsons•s ferry, Butler, Boise City, La Grande and Baker City to Walla Walla. Although the Indians were quite troublesome that year, this party had little actual difficulty with them, but trains immediately behind and ahead of them suffered considerable damage from the savages. Mr. Baldwin left home April 13, 1865, and arrived in Waitsburg, on the Coppei, October 15 of the same year. He located in the Winnett neighborhood, seven miles southwest of Dayton, where he remained until 1868, and in that year returned across the plains to the East. In 1870, however, he again came to Washington, and although other means of travel were then to be enjoyed, he chose to cross the plains by wagon, arriving in Columbia county after a pleaseant trip of a little less than four months. Mr. Baldwin took a homestead in the same neighborhood where he had formerly lived, but eleven years later sold that land and moved to Dayton, which has ever since been the family home. March 19, 1883, he pur­chased land seven miles northeast of this city, and now gives his personal attention to farming that place, which consists of 160

acres of deeded land and a quarter section of leased school land. He cultivates over 300 acres of the tract, and had made all the improvements now existing there, amon which may be mentioned an orchard of 250 trees, 200 in bearing, consisting of apples, pears, plums, prunes, cherries and peaches.

Mr. Baldwin was married in Washington county, Illinois, in 1850, to Miss Caroline Taylor, who died there in 1852. His present wife, to wh0m he married in February, 1854, was formerly Miss Adaline Mitchell, a native of Kentucky, and daughter of James and Rebecca Mitchell. Our subject and wife have had eleven children, of whQm seven are now living, viz.: Sirrelda, wife of J. H. Horsey; Caroline, wife of David Evans, of Walla Walla county; Mary Vandalia, wife of Lon Nulf, of Genessee, Idaho; Ida Catherine, now Mrs. Ed. Pollard, of Stevens county, Washington; Violet ann, wife of John Nelson of Spokane county; Willis and Perry, Salem. Mr. Baldwin is a Democrat in political matters, has served as a member of the County Central Committee, and has frequently been a delegate to conventions. He enjoys the highest standing in the community, and is known as a man of whom it may be said, "His word is as good as his bond."
