    Notes:

    Name:
    Sheriffs of the County

    The first Sheriff of Pocahontas county was Oscar Slosson, who was elected March 15, 1859. On Jan. 1, 1860, Henry Jarvis succeeded him and being re-elected in 1861, 1864 (for one year - an unexpired term) and in 1865, filled that office seven years, 1860 to 163, and 1865 to 1867. For the term commencing Jan. 1, 1864, he was not a candidate, and Abiel Stickney, who had been elected, having resigned the office March 21, 1864, Edward Hammond, by appointment of the board of supervisors on that date, performed the duties of that office until the end of that year.
    It is of interest to note that Abiel Stickney was the one candidate in this county who was elected by the soldier vote. At the general election of Oct. 13, 1863, the home vote for the candidates for sheriff was as follows: John A. James, 16 votes; Abiel Stickney, 14, and John A. James was declared elected by a majority of two votes. But one month later when the four soldier votes were canvassed and all of them were in favor of Stickney, they gave him a majority of two votes and he was then declared elected.
    On Jan. 1, 1868, Oscar Slosson became the successor of Henry Jarvis, and being re-elected in 1869, served four years, 868 to 1871. At the general election held in the fall of 1867, the contest for sheriff became a very spirited one and each of the candidates, Oscar Slosson and George Spragg, received 50 of the 100 votes polled in the county at that election. On drawing cuts the tie was decided in favor of Oscar Slosson.

    Pioneer Period, 1855 to 1869 - Other important events

    At their meeting held Jan. 2, 1865, the board agreed yo pay a bounty of $900 to each volunteer who would enter the army or navy of the United States, and the later records show hat Dennis Quigley and Thos. Quigley were recipients of this special bounty. This volunteer 'bounty' fund was raised by an assessment of four mills on the dollar during the year of 1865. A soldiers' 'relief' fund of two mills on the dollar had been raised for the benefit of those who had enlisted at the beginning of the war, namely:
    A.H. Malcom
    Oscar Slosson
    Chas. W. Jarvis
    W.S. Fegles
    Henry Cooper
    Henry Tilley
    Hiram Evans
    John Gayler
    Andrew Mills

    'For those true men who fought to lift
    Our country's banner high in air,
    Wreaths of lilies we weave and bring
    Roses and star-eyed pansies fair.'

    During the war, Pocahontas county furnished eleven men, which was one-third of the able-bodies residents of the county at the time. This was her full quota and there was no need of a resort to a draft.

    Four of those named above, namely A.H. Malcolm, Henry Cooper, Hiram Evans and Oscar Slosson enlisted at the same time - Sept 2, 1861, at Fort Dodge - and became members of Co. A, 11th Pennsylvania Volunteers, under Capt. Franklin A. Stratton, of Fort Dodge. This company went by stage to Cedar Falls, the nearest railroad station, and in due season arrived at Dubuque where they were mustered in, September 21st, following.

    Notes:

    Name:
    Fred Slosson is an example of what will and pluck, supplemented by an application to work in hand, can do. Out of the woody wilderness of Puget sound he has literally carved a handsome competence within comparatively few years. Born in Pocahontas County, Iowa, in 1872, the son of a veteran of the Civil War, young Slosson has med his way since thirteen years of age. Oscar Slosson, his father, was a native of New York, but went to Ohio when eighteen years old. In 1854 he removed to Iowa and followed farming. In 1862 he went to Pennsylvania and there responding to the call of President Lincoln for volunteers, enlisted in the Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry and served throughout the war with that command. After the grand review and muster out, he turned his face once more to the plains of Iowa, where he remained until 1878, when he went to California. Hearing of the Puget sound country Mr. Slosson left California after a year's residence, came to Skagit county and settled on a farm near La Conner, where he continued until his death in 1904. Julia (Touslee) Slosson was the other of nine children of whom Fred is the seventh. Mrs. Slosson was a native of Ohio and died at La Conner in 1904. Fred Slosson received his education in the schools of Skagit county, but did not have the opportunity of pushing his studies to the extent he desired. His father being of infirm health, the young man was earl called from school to the sterner duties of life. For the greater part of his life young Slosson has made a business of clearing land of the big forests, doing a contract business, in which he as gained an enviable reputation. When he first commenced his operations that section of Skagt county where he resides was a huge forest. it was during these years that Mr. Slosson cleared his present farm of sixty acres. Among the contracting enterprises which he successfully carried to completion was the construction of four miles of the Gray's Harbor branch of the Northern Pacific railroad, which work was finished in seven months. With the exception of one business trip to Chicago Mr. Slosson has remained on the sound since he first reached there.

    In 1895 Mr. Slosson married Miss Ethel Touslee, daughter of Horace Touslee, a veterinary surgeon of New York, who came to Tacoma in 1889 and one year later moved to Skagit county. he is now making his home with Mr. and Mrs. Slosson. Mrs. Slosson's mother, Sarah (Cable) Touslee, a native of Iowa, is living in Chicago, where she is in the millinery and dressmaking business. Mrs. Slosson was born in Iowa in 1877 and received her education at St. Paul, Minnesota. She was married when eighteen years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Slosson have an adopted daughter, Gladys, a native of Skagit county. In politics Mr. Slosson is a republican. His farm is all in a high state of cultivation and includes five acres of fine Orchard. Mr. Slosson is a lover of cattle and has seventy head on his place. He is contemplating raising cattle on a larger scale. His home is modern in every way, with ample buildings and every convenience, showing taste and enterprise. Few men of Mr. Slosson's age, starting under similar circumstances, can give better evidence of their success from a material standpoint than is displayed on his well kept place, and his value as a neighbor and citizen is as fully evidenced by the respect and esteem in which he is held by his fellow-citizens.

    Fred married Ethel Blanche TOUSLEE on 17 Apr 1896 in Dimas, Washington. Ethel was born in Oct 1877 in Charles City, Iowa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    BANDIT PAIR BRAZEN IN CITY'S NINTH HOLDUP

    Vancouver, B.C - Using a new, more brazen approach, two armed bandits Friday night held up Grant Slosson in his east-end home and escaped with his wallet containing about $100 cash in Vancouver's ninth holdup case in eight days.

    Slosson said he was entertaining three friends when someone knocked at his door. He was confronted by two men who first asked for a drink of water. Then one produced a gun and said: 'This is a stick-up, fork it over.'

    After frisking Slosson, they forced him and his friends into a bedroom, and one was heard to remark: 'I wasn't in the army for nothing.' No attempt was made to rob the others.

    Slosson's $100 brought to more than $5,400 the loot in cash jewelry and checks from holdings here in the last eight days.

    Notes:

    Name:

    John Fredrick Mattern died Saturday, February 10, 2018 at Vineyard Heights Assisted Living. He was 94 years old.

    John was born September 1, 1923 in Lemoore, California, to Fredrick and Dora (Ornduff) Mattern. They moved to Newberg, Oregon when he was a young child. A few years later, they moved up to Chehalem Mountain.

    John attended a small grade school there and most of his classmates were girls. He looked forward to the end of the school day to get home to his dog, get his gun and go squirrel hunting. He told a lot of good stories about growing up on the mountain.

    John moved back to Newberg as a young teenager and started a paper route to earn money for a bike. He attended Newberg High School for a short time. He decided to quit school so he could go to work on his sister's farm. He always said he loved every minute of his years working on the farm. He loved his horse that he spent every day with on the farm.
    In the mid-1940s, John met and later married Helen (Freuler) Baker. John was an instant father to Helen's 3 year old daughter, Penny. Later they had three more children; Kathryn, Mike and Scott. He remodeled the family home from top to bottom. It took many years, but it is still home to all of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

    John was a hard worker all of his life. He worked for Yamhill County Road Department on the bridge crew. He retired after 30 years with the county at the age of 70.

    John was a hunter and fisherman in his younger years. After his retirement, he and Helen bought a 5th wheel trailer and went on many camping trips to the beach. After a few years they decided to give that up and travel by car and airplane. They took many trips to Reno, Las Vegas, Alaska and Hawaii. John was a lifetime member of the NRA. He had an amazing love and respect for guns.

    John lost his one love (as one of John's grandsons said), Helen, in 2013. They had been married for 65 years. They were loving parents and generous in every way. We are thankful that John is now free of pain and suffering.

    John was preceded in death by his wife, Helen; son, Mike; son-in-law, Tom; and stepgranddaughter Dixie.

    John is survived by daughters: Penny and Kathryn; his son, Scott; grandchildren: Jeff Piper, Lisa Piper, Jason Piper, Trevor Dix (Elizabeth), Katie Bowdle (Brandon), Sarah Ogsaen (Brandon), Amanda Mattern (Matt), Maya Mattern, Cara Guidici (Nicholas), Whitley Mattern, Madelyn Mattern, Coy Mattern; stepgrandchildren: Denae (Tim), Teresa (Devin), Jared and Amanda; great-grandchildren: Christopher, Stephen, Justin, Megan, Ryan, Halle, Zachary, Phoenix, Maddix, Dillon, Taylor, Aiden, Ivy, Alisa, Aliah and Nica; and many stepgreat-grandchildren.

    Services will be held at Macy & Son Chapel on Monday February 19, 2018 at 11:00am. Private family interment will be held at Mt. Olive Cemetery in Hillsboro, OR.
