<DIV></DIV>Fields: Thank you so much. I would appreciate any of the

Ray co., Missouri d. 1880 Marcola, OR. (I can't verify this or find the
cem. on line, Johnson Crk. Cem. Marcola, OR) His parents> Thomas
Fields and Rebecca Riggs. He marries Elizabeth Carter 19 Dec. 1853 she was
b. 1834 IA. and died 1880 or 1887. Their children that I have: Melissa
Caroline Fields b. abt. 1856 Linn co., OR., Mary M. Fields b. 14 Dec. 1873

John Fields b. 09 Mar. 1869 d. 1936 Lane co., OR., Robert Henry (my
ggrandfather) b. 25 Nov. 1873 d. 29 Oct. 1951 Scio, Linn, OR.(haven't found obit
to verify) He married Phoebey TN. Barnard 30 Jul. 1895 Scio, Linn co.,

death index, and couldn't find anything. I tried the WA. digital index,

abt. the site, almost froze my computer. I had nothing but errors
from internet explorer. Thank you again for your help,

antelope and buffalo. The men or <BR>boys would kill them for meat. Crossing the
rivers was quite a chore. They would <BR>have to raise their wagons several
inches, attach ropes to the front so that the <BR>horseman riding along could
help if it was needed to urge the teams into the <BR>water. Some places the
roads were so sandy, that they would be knee deep in

the trail, they’d stop and reload <BR>what they could get by with. They’d have
to stop, feed and rest their cattle and <BR>horses. At this time they would do
various other things, such as reset their <BR>wheels as they had to be taken off
and soaked over night to keep them from <BR>falling off. They also had to grease
the wheels and brake blocks had to be built <BR>and

<BR>to Tygh Valley, to the Cascade’s and crossed over the Barlow Road. The cost
to <BR>go over the Barlow Road was $5.00 a wagon, 10 cents a head for cattle.
Some of <BR>the pioneers sold their rifles, quilts or anything they could use
for payment. <BR>The ones that were flat broke were able to use IOU’s. This
Barlow Road saved the <BR>pioneers from going down the Columbia River, on the

drowned. There were some <BR>terrible places </B></FONT><BR><BR><FONT size=3

was called Laurel Hill. It was the worst part of this road. The way <BR>the
pioneers got down this hill was by cutting a tree down and chaining a tree
<BR>behind the way for it would slow the wagon down. Even then some lost their
