David D. Davis, his wife Hannah Donahoe, and 8 children left Iowa in 1847 traveling West in the Oskaloosa Company. He led the 47 wagon train on the Southern Route known as the Scott-Applegate Trail. They were attacked by Indians in Fandango Valley. Daughter Hannah Ann, 14, was hit by 2 arrows and then fell into the camp fire. She survived the ordeal. The Davis party settled their DLC on Soap Creek, near present day Corvallis, Oregon. They were buried on their farm until 1943 when their graves were moved for the convenience of the US Government, to the new English Cemetery in Polk County south of Monmouth, Oregon.
