Possibly Pendleton and surrounding area newspapers:
East Oregonian or Pendleton Record.
The story of a trek across country is told in a diary recorded by John Brown, grandfather of Ada Brown, 218 S. W. 9th.
Among those of the family who survived these early hardships was John D. Brown,---father of Ada Brown, who came from Lane County to Pendleton in 1887 where he lived for 41 years till his death.
The late John D. Brown was for many years caretaker of the Round-Up Park and he was a favorite with the children who always wanted to know "when's the nat going to open"?
Ada purchased and had Headstone installed for her parents, abt 1964, Plot#301
