Charles and Eliza Ann Pearson migrated to Oregon in 1894 and settled at Hudson, later Leona, Douglas County. They died at Cottage Grove, Oregon. The author's maternal grandfather, William Coddigan Miller (1833-1918), was born at Crawfordville, Indiana, and migrated to Oregon in 1848. He married Rudama Walters (1846-1933) at Salem, Oregon in 1863. They had ten children, 1864-1887. Their daughter, Rhoda Miller (1864-1942), married William J.
