<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Does anyone know where the Kincaid donation claim about
four miles south and east of Eugene's City was in June of 1888?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Gregory Toftdahl mailed me the article on David Watkins
death that was in the Oregon State Journal...in this article is mentioned that
after Watkins and his family settled on the Siuslaw and were run off by
squatters, they moved to the Kindcaid donation. He died there within a
short time after settling on the Kincaid claim.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>"He went to bed in the little log house on the south
side of the hill and never left it until his body was taken out by kind
neighbors in a winding sheet and placed in the tomb" Very poetic of the
times. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>His family was not mentioned by name.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Also, is there any diary or records of the Reverend C.
M. Hill of Eugene who was a Baptist minister in this era?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Watkins was buried in the Masonic
Cemetery.</FONT></DIV>
