"Francis M Pearson - Truly the west has reason to be proud of her sons, and one of the most enterprising and wife awake business men among them is the estimable gentleman whose name is at the beginning of this article, and it is with pleasure that we are constrained to grant him a representation in this volume of chronicles of the leading men of Grant county. A son of the occident, and one worthy of the boundless west, he has found here the scenes of his labors and the place of his home, believing in its unlimited resources and the conditions of prosperity that nature has so lavishly bestowed for the hand of man.
Yam Hill [Yamhill] county is the native place of Francis M., and his birth occurred in 1860, being the son of Joseph and Ella (Eads) Pearson. The father was a native of St Joseph, Missouri, whence he came across the plains in 1850 to Yam Hill county, which was the native place of the mother. This worthy couple were among the sturdy pioneers of that time and the father now lies buried at Palouse, WA, and the aged mother is still living at Fletcher ID.
At the age of 24, our subject stepped from under the parental roof and began the voyage of life as captain of his own craft. The first venture that was to attract his attention was buying and selling horses, wherein he was successful, and also in the art of agriculture, that he took up at the same time. In 1886 he took a government quarter where he now resides, 20 miles south of Canyon City, near Seneca, and gave his attention to subduing and improving the same, and also to raising sheep. In addition to these industries, his business ability to handle successfully a number of enterprises, and it is but right to say that Mr Pearson is one of the leading business men of this section, being recognized as such by all.
Mr Pearson and Miss Delia, daughter of Samuel S Smith, of Pilot Rock, were married at Pilot Rock, and they have become parents of 5 children: Austa, Olney, Ada, Edna and Fred. Mr Pearson's fine practical knowledge and his capabilities were brought into play for the benefit of his fellows recently, he being chosen stock inspector, and so successful was he in this line that he was chosen as his own successor. Fraternally, he is affiliated with the IOOF, at Canyon City, and is held in high esteem there as well as in all his walk among his fellows. It is of note that Mr Pearson, senior, was one of the active participants in the Cayuse Indian War, and there rendered faithful and valiant service. Our subject was a volunteer in the Bannock and Piute war of 1878 and did good work in the battle of Beasley's mill, near Pilot Rock."

1847-48 HIST OF INDIAN WAR 1847-48: History of Umatilla and Morrow Counties of Oregon, by William Parsons about 1900, pg 55-62:
"During the summer of 1847, measles, introduced by the immigrants [Dr. Marcus Whitman and other whites to his mission at Waiilatpu, 6 miles west of the present Walla Walla WA], became epidemic among the Cayuses. A Cayuse chief and Joe Lewis, a renegade half-breed, who wandered to the [Whitman] mission, had been befriended by Whitman, then... became a prime mover in the murdurous plot [to kill the Whitmans]. Their native method of treating anything of a feverous nature...and Whitman...faithful and unremitting in his ministrations...many died. At this critical moment the wretch Lewis...made the Indians think that Whitman was poisoning them.
The Indians determined to make a test case of a sick woman, giving her some of Whitman's medicine and agreeing that is she died they would kill the missionaries. The woman died, and the plot came to a focus. At the warning of Istickus of Umatilla, Mrs Whitman felt the darkening of the approaching tragedy...the doctor told her he would arrange to remove down the river [Columbia] at once. But the next day, 29 Nov 1847..., a number of Indians entered [the mission], and...the work of murder thus begun. The next day Gov Abernethy... called for volunteers to rescue the prisoners [many whites were taken prisoner from the mission] and punish the Indians.
[After negotiations] On New Year's Day, 1848, Rev HH Spalding with 10 others... arrived at Ft Walla Walla under escort of 50 Nez Perce Indians [paid for their safe delivery]. 3 days later... the captives in boats... started to Ft Vancouver... arrived safely at Oregon City. [After further negotiations]the Spokanes announced their conclusion...[to] defend them [the missionaries] with our lives. The Nez Perce made the same decision. The Umatillas, the Nez Perces and the Spokanes,...the Hudson's Bay Co, were all against them [Cayuse Indians]...the provincial gov't at once entered upon the work of equipping 14 companies of volunteers by an act of Dec 9.
Cornelius Gilliam was chosen colonel of the regiment. Companies of Capt Thompson, Maxon, English, and McKay [war fought on Umatilla River, pgs 60--62]..., 11 soldiers wounded... the Indian loss was severe. "

1847-1850 HIST: Wendell M Stark email Aug 2001: "The Pearson family written up in 'In the Footsteps of the Pioneers' by Will M Kidwell [see below], 'History of the Pacific Northwest' by Edward Evans, and 'A History of Baker, Grant, Malheur and Harney Counties' of Oregon:
Joseph Nathaniel Pearson came to the Oregon area in 1850. While living in Oregon, he fought in the Cayuse Indian War of 1847 and 1848, from 9 Jan 1848 to 5 Jul 1848 as a private in Co' 1st Regulars of Oregon Riflemen, under Capt Maxon, English & Shaw, commanded by Col C Gilliam.
Francis Marion Pearson was a volunteer in the Bannock & Piute War of 1878 and was in the Battle of Beasley's Mill near Pilot Rock, Oregon.
William Perry Pearson and Nancy Kasia Cox, my greatgrandparents, homesteaded at Westmond ID, as did my greatgrandparents, Newton Alexander Finley and Susan Hartsaw. WP and Nancy later purchased what was named the Pearson Hotel in the old town of Vollmer ID, which is now Craigmont. They ran this up and until their retirement.
All the legs of the family migrated from Missouri, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Germany. Some originated, as far as we know, in England and Ireland, but as of this writing, we have been unable to document just exactly where.
I hope that this will clear up some mistakes in the family history and fill in some gaps that some may have. I am by no means a professional genealogist, but I have done this because of a deep interest of my family history and wanting to leave a legacy to my children and future descendants (wrote ancestors). I wish to thank everyone that has spent untold hours compiling all of this information, and that they are willing to share with any and all."
