• Notes

  Stephen Hook of Oregon, who has been on a pleasure trip to Whiting, Iowa, is visiting his cousin, Mrs. Robert Hankinson. May 4, 1911, Evansville Review, p. 5, col. 3, Evansville, Wisconsin ****************************************************************************** The year 1843 brought Thomas Hook to section 35 where in 1844 his son Stephen was born, the first child born in Oregon. Later in the same year came Stephen Hook, brother of Thomas, C. Sargeant, Abram Kierstead and C. P. Mosley to section 12; Horace Wautrous on section 1. C.P. Mosley's house, very near where the present watertower stands, apparently became the nucleus of not only Oregon hostlery, but of Oregon village as well.
