Jasper Workman was the son of Joseph and Elizabeth (McNeely)(Elkins) Workman. He first married Martha Gore (Chambers) Workman, and after her death married Arrisba (Hinchman)(Ballard) Workman. He ran a saw mill on Pond Fork, Boone County, West Virginia. When his family decided to move out west, he disassembled the mill and put it on the train to Oregon. When he got to Oregon, he put it together and the trees were too big and wouldn't fit thru the mill. Jasper Workman was a Sergent in the Civil War for the North. He was bush whacked at some point during the war and his mind started to slowly deteriorate over the next 50 years.
