The Oregon Pioneer Certificate is issued to people who can prove descent
from someone that was here before October 1872.
I believe the reason for that is because the trains reached Oregon in
October 1872. The Iron Horse not wagon trains.
I know my Bates family arrived in the Corbett area by train in the late
1880s. They hired a boxcar, stuffed the family and all their possessions
inside and came out from Nebraska.

father(Duane Cecil Goodman) was born in 1897 in Lyons Oregon. My
Grandfather (Prince W. Goodman) was born in 1876 in Linn Co. Oregon. My
grandmother Goodman (Corabelle McLane) was also born Linn Co Oregon in 1878.
OK, The question is--How did they travel out to the West? Did the Railroads
extend to the Oregon Washington (Oregon Territory) during that time? Or did
they most likely come most of the way on the Oregon Trail by Wagon? It
appears to me that my Father's family was out in Oregon considerably earlier
than the Dyes.
