[or-roots] Unearthed remains linked to Lane County pioneer

[Leslie Chapman]

Nancy;

There is an article in the register guard this morning with details, four
bodies, one adult about 40 and three children I believe, descendants named
Moody involved, definiteley the Stevens family. * bodies were removed to
"pioneer Cemetery" in 1901.

Headed for work now, but if you can't find the item online, I can get it for
you from the paper.

This is just fascinating to me.  The family's name may have been STEVENS. My
Stevens settled Howell Prairie, Marion Co., OR

Only two other settlers lived in the area at the time -- Eugene Skinner, the
founder of Eugene, and Elijah Bristow of Pleasant Hill.
Stevens was likely the first settler in present day Springfield, Ore. He
died in 1860 in a farm accident.
