JAMES BYBEE. James Bybee, eighty-three years of age, is still giving personal supervision to the conduct of his farm of one hundred acres in Clarke county. His has; been a well spent life and frontier experiences of every kind are familiar to him, for he dates his residence upon the Pacific coast from 1850. A native of Kentucky, Mr. Bybee was born in 1827 and was reared in Monroe county, Mis- souri, where he lived upon a farm until 1850. He then joined the emigrants who were making their way to California in an almost endless wagon train across the plains. He journeyed with mule teams and pack horses and after reaching his destination remained until November on the middle fork of the American river, engaged in mining. On account of the illness of his brother, William Bybee, he came to Oregon, the trip being made by sailing vessel to Astoria, from which point they proceeded up the Columbia in a small boat to Portland. 12 THE CITY OF PORTLAND Indolence and idleness have ever been utterly at variance with the nature of James Bybee and he at once sought opportunity for the exercise of industry and diligence — his dominant qualities. He rented land on Sauvies Island, where he and his brother raised potatoes, which they shipped to California. So few people were then engaged in farming that all grain and market products brought a high price and the brothers made two thousand dollars a piece that year. James Bybee afterward lived upon a farm at the mouth of the Willamette, where he took up a claim and engaged in the dairy business. He then went to Jacksonville, Oregon, on a mining trip but remained only a short time and in 1862 proceeded to eastern Oregon, settling at Auburn on Powder river. There he conducted a store and did freighting but after six months he sold out there and returned to his farm, upon which he remained until 1868, when he removed to Clarke county, Washington, trading his claim for three hundred and twenty acres of land in Clarke county. This was mostly covered with timber but he cleared one hundred acres and at the same time continued general farming as the land was prepared for the plow. Prospering in his undertakings, he also added to his holdings, purchasing another tract of two hundred and thirty acres. Plowever, he has since sold all of his land save one hundred acres upon which he resides and which constitutes one of the valuable properties of this locality. He has eight acres of fruit upon his place and other good improvements but expects soon to leave the farm, for he is building a residence in Vancouver which he intends to occupy. In 1855 Mr. Bybee was married to Miss Eudora Sturgis, of IlHnois, and of the nine children born to them seven are yet living: Gay, a resident of Van- couver; Mrs. Carrie Westfall, of Idaho; William, who is located in Sacramento, California ; Mrs. Minnie Matchett, of Portland ; Mrs. Addie Seward, also of Portland ; Mrs. Eudora Snorer, at home ; and Charles, of Vancouver. The wife and mother died in 1894 and in 1900 Mr. Bybee married Mrs. Ellen Day, of Portland, a native of Indiana. His home is situated ten miles from Vancouver, on the middle road, and two and a half miles from Fisher's Landing. His has been a busy, active and useful life and his success is attributable entirely to his own labors and his recognition and utilization of opportunities.
