AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF CENTRAL OREGON—Embracing Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, Lake, and Klamath Counties. Western Historical Publishing Co, Spokane, Washington, 1905. p 1020
William S. Hoagland, who is a farmer and stock raiser, residing some nine miles southeast of Bonanza, has certainly shown himself to be an active builder in the great commonwealth of western United States. He was born on March 6, 1837, in Holmes County, Ohio, the son of Arod and Margaret [Anderson] Hoagland. The father was an early pioneer of Illinois then came in 1844 with his family to Coles County, being among the first settlers there. Later he moved to Moultrie County in the same state and there remained until his death in 1854.

Our subject accompanied his parents to Coles County and in that frontier place he was reared and received his education. The schools were very primitive and he had to travel four miles to a little log cabin where his studying was done. He remembers well the days when thy traveled fifty miles to mill.

On July 7, 1861 in Douglas County, Illinois, he enlisted in Company H, Twenty-fifth Illinois Infantry as regimental wagon master. They were transferred to Missouri immediately and he participated in the battle of Pea Ridge. In 1862 he was at the evacuation of Corinth, Mississippi and then was with General Buell at Louisville, Kentucky. He was at the battle of Crab Orchard and through exposure was paralysed before but he continued with his command until they got to Crab Orchard and there was discharged on account of disability in October, 1862.

In 1864 he was engaged by the government as wagon master for a supply train at Raleigh [this most likely should have been Rolla], Missouri. After this he took up farming, then sold his property and moved to Barber county, Kansas, in 1883.

In the spring of 1889 he journeyed west again and came this time to Klamath county and in 1897 he purchased his present place. He has a quarter section of good land, one hundred acres of which are in cultivation. The place is supplied wit a good residence, large barn and Mr. Hoagland makes a specialty of raising grain and hay and also handles some cattle.

He is a member of the G.A.R. and also of the I.O.O.F. In 1898 he was elected assessor on the Republican ticket and served two years. In December, 1899, Mr. Hoagland married Miss Frances Bear.

A point of early history in his life is of interest and we append the same. In the spring of 1859 he started from Illinois journeying west to Atchison, Kansas. There he joined a freight outfit and went as far as Salt Lake City wit them. The train consisted of thirty-one wagons, each of which was supplied with six yoke of oxen. He drove one of the teams but a Odgen, he parted company with the freight outfit and engaged to assist in driving a band of cattle through to California. Later he returned via the Panama route to New York City and back to Illinois. Mr. Hoagland has considerable experience on the frontier and has also shown himself an industrious and substantial man.
