IMPRESSIONS AND OBSERVATIONS OF THE JOURNAL MAN
By Fred Lockley
William Jacob Faubion, is postmaster at Faubion postoffice, near the foot of Mount Hood. When I interviewed him recently at his home at Faubion, he said:
"This postoffice was established about 12 years ago. It was named for me, and I was appointed postmaster and have been postmaster ever since. No, Faubion is not a French name, my folks came from Holland. As far back as I can trace, the menfolks in our family have been artisans and ironworkers. One of my ancestors, in Virginia, was a blacksmith. I worked at that trade when I was a young man.
I was born in Missouri, April 21, 1865. My father, William H. Faubion, was born in Illinois. My mother's maiden name was Lydia Hess. There were eight boys and three girls in our family. All of my sisters are dead, and three of my brothers. My father was a Civil war veteran and for many years received a pension. Right after the close of the Civil war, when I was a year old, we started by wagon for Oregon. Today you can go at 40 miles an hour around Mount Hood and never exceed a 5 per cent grade. When we made Laurel hill we had to let our wagon down with ropes. Some of the people in our wagon train locked their wheels, and others tied trees back of the wagon to serve as a brake. My son-in-law, F. E. Andrews, who is with the bureau of public roads, helped lay out the present road.
"My father bought a place on the Clackamas river not far from Gladstone. After a few years he sold it and bought a quarter section about a mile and a half from Boring. He lived there 25 years. Father was a paper maker by trade so when we moved to Camas he and I both worked in the paper mill there. I learned my trade in H. L. Pittock's mill on the Clackamas river just above Park Place. Father worked in the Camas mill 16 years. I worked there 17 years.
"When I took up this place, in 1907, my nearest neighbor was a mile and a half away. Now the whole country surrounding the southern slope of Mount Hood is like a big village. I think there must be at least 3000 summer homes or permanent homes located here. The government opened this land to settlement in 1907. My place is in the national forest. I have sold 68 acres of my quarter section, mostly in small tracts and lots. Many of the homes here are built on half-acre tracts leased by the government at $15 a year.
"I was married the day before Christmas in 1889 to Anna Lang. My wife and I ran a hotel here 16 years. Since my wife's death I have lived here alone, for our four daughters and two sons are all married. I have nine grandchildren.
"A few days ago I saw 14 deer grazing on Zig Zag mountain. In 1908, I killed five cougars. I have killed hundreds of bobcats and lots of bears. Last year I saw a deer running, so I took my gun and went out to see what it was running from. I found a big timber wolf was chasing it, and I killed the wolf. There's another timber wolf running the deer this year. I have seen its tracks and have seen the deer running from it."
"About 40 years ago Murray Gilbert and myself, with our packs on our backs, hiked in from Detroit to the foot of Mount Jefferson and camped for 10 days or so on the banks of Lake Pamelia, at the southwestern base of Mount Jefferson. Fishing in lake Pamelia in those days was remarkably good. We camped for a few days at Independence prairie, which was named by John Minto, who, with his surveying party, camped there on July 4, 1874. John Minto named Pamelia lake after Pamelia Ann Berry, who was cook for the surveying party of which her father was a member."
"FAUBION--July 7, William J., late of Faubion, Or., father of Mrs. Jennie Welch, Mrs. Mildred L. Simmons, Mrs. Naomi Andrews, Mrs. Aneita Brown, David P. and Aunald J. Faubion. Friends are invited to attend funeral services Monday at 1 P. M. at the Holman & Lutz Colonial Mortuary, N. E. 14th and Sandy Blvd. Interment Lincoln Memorial Park."
