until a week or so before his death when he suffered a stroke of
paralysis which terminated in death. The deceased was born in
Howard County, Missouri in 1825. He came to Oregon in 1854,

Andrew. The Funeral was conducted by Rev. Chas. Barlow, and was
attended by a large number of his old neighbors and many
friends. Mr. and Mrs. Hayter crossed the plains by team and
underwent all the trials and dangers of a trip of that kind, and
have done their part toward the settling of the Coquille valley.
Mr. Hayter was for many years a consistent Christian and an
ardent member of the Baptist church. Mr. Hayter was born in
Howard County, Missouri march 12, 1825. He joined the rush of
goldseekers to California in 1849, and returned to Missouri a
year later by the Panama route. In 1854 he again crossed the
plains and located in Polk County, Oregon, where he resided
until 1863. He then moved to Coos County and lived there
continuously until his death. He was a veteran of the Yakima
Indian War, having served in the Companies of Captains Burch and
Armstrong in 1855-56. His wife, who was a daughter of Thomas and
Katherine Crowley, of Polk County, died 26 years ago. He is
survived by a large family of sons and daughters nearly all of

| Others records have placed Mrs. J.C. Davis in
the Upper Fish trap cemetery, but this appears to be incorrect.
Her obituary on p.15 of Pioneers and Incidents of the Upper
Coquille Valley by Alice Woodridge, indicates she was "laid
to rest in the cemetery near the J.J. Lamb place". On p.92
of this same book, the obituary for J.J. Lamb indicates "he
settled on Rink Creek near Coquille" before moving into
Coquille City.
