[or-roots] re: Dr. William Gage

This family newsletter article from Martha (Gale) Hockersmith indicates "My three brothers Newton, Marion, and William J Gale, started the first newspaper in Eugene."

Might there be some information at the Lane County Historical Society about the newspaper?

    I am not aware of this individual specifically, but have heard of the "lost wagon train" that he was the leader of. A good reference cam be found on a Hockersmith genealogy site (his daughter, Martha, married into this family I guess). Here's the lin, but there is quite a bit that has been written on the lost wagon train too, which would have some mentions of the leader that might be insightful.

  Thank you for this.
  Every clue is helpful.
