Notes for JOHNSON MONROE WILLARD:

JOHNSON MONROE & MARTHA WILLARD

Written by Mrs. E.S. Hill, Daughter

Furnished by Fern Hill Henry, Granddaughter

In April 1864, Johnson Monroe Willard, with his wife, Martha, and two small children came from Iowa and joined a wagon train at Independence, MO, to come west.

He had two oxen which pulled a covered wagon, and at least one milk cow. Some of the people coming at the same time were the Marion Dorothy family; the DeHaven's; and the Demaris'. They got here in the early fall, being four or five months on the way.

The Willard family settled near the forks of the Walla Walla River, near what was since known as the Dorothy Bridge; about 4 0r 5 miles from Milton, where he had a blacksmith shop for a number of years. He then took up a homestead north of the North Fork, on the Government Mountain District. They lived all their lives there, had nine children; seven of which died during a diptheria epidemic in 1878.

The children and parents are buried in the Bowlus Cemetery, except one, Mrs. E.S. Hill.

==========================================

Tragedy Strikes

In an article for the Milton Oregon Eagle in 1924, Lewis reiterated the history of the great scourge of diphtheria from 1875 to 1878, when many of the children of some local families died. According to his biography, "on the Mississippi canyon in a stretch of three miles near his farm, three in one, two in another, three in another and two in another died. In the Willard family, seven out of nine were taken."
