Note	"Columbus Wilkes was a cripple and being unable to walk they kept one horse for him to ride and fed it the bread they so badly needed for themselves." Source: By an Oregon Pioneer Fireside Citation details: page 21
Note	"Columbus was killed in the destruction of John B. Jackson's mill in 1857, about eight miles north and two-and one-half miles east of Hillsboro, a little above what is now known as the Jackson quarry. Columbus and a man named Huff were grinding wheat to take to Oregon City to trade for goods. This was against the advice of Jackson, who warned them that the mill was in a dangerous condition and begged them to stay out of it. It was raining very hard, the stream was swollen, and the dam had shown signs of giving away. The mill pond was full of logs, the flour mill being directly below the sawmill. About 11 o'clock at night, Jackson who was unable to sleep, but sitting by the fire heard the crash and said to his wife, "My God, Sarah, the mill has gone." Nothing could be done in the darkness except to send messengers to rouse the neighbors and by daylight all the people for miles around were at the scene. The wreckage was strewn for miles down the ravine. Of the heavy mill frame no two timbers were attached and few were left whole. A box of burr picks was found sitting on a stump a hundred feet above the bottom of the gulch. The bodies of the men were found almost two miles below and a water soaked kitten was plaintively mewing in a tree hard by." Source: By an Oregon Pioneer Fireside Citation details: page 33, 34
Note	NEWS PAPER ARTICLE - HILLSBORO ARGUS , AUGUST 5 , 1915 JACKSON FALLS VISIT RECALLS OLD TRAGEDY Two men were swept to death Grist and saw mill washed away in winter freshnet in 1856 A visit to Jackson Falls, yesterday, Jackson Falls is located about 2 1/2 miles northeast of North Plains . Revealed one of natures famous beauty spots , for a half mile the little stream cataracts over a solid rock bottom. At the head of the falls there is a precipitation of about fifteen feet. Several hundred yards down from the fall , lays an old iron mill casting, and this strange curio naturally started a query, and the following imformation: John B. Jackson, in the early 50's built a saw mill and flour mill at these falls. In 1856 , two men were working for him , Jas Hough and Jesse Columbus Wilkes, a brother of Jabez Wilkes , and an uncle of B. P. Cornelius. On the night of December 8, 1856 , the two men were running the grist mill on night tower, to grind for delivery at Oregon City, next day. John B. Jackson, realizing that the big freshnet was on went to the mill about nine o' clock at night to warn the men to leave the building as he feared the property would be swept away. Just as he entered the causeway to the mill the waters swept men and building into the torrent. The debris of the mill was carried a mile below into the valley and both men lost there lives. they were found the next day and buried in one grave in the Harrison Cemetery near the present Dersham Station on the United. The mill was never rebuilt. J. C. Wlikes was the father of A. P. Wlikes of Near Scholis. He married twice, and A.P. is a son by his first wife. Wlikes second wife was a daughter of the late Flem Dobbins. There was a daughter by the second wife , but the heir was not located. The beautiful glen, as famous as any in Scotland is now visited by many each summer. But the feast to the eyes gives no hint to the tragedy that cost two human lives nearly 50 years ago.

Note	"In 1849 or 1850, Arch, Columbus and Jabe became afflicted by the gold fever and went overland to California. We have but few details of that trip. There was a considerable party and they had trouble with the Indians on the Rogue River, but I think none of the party was killed or seriously injured. Nor do we know how long they remained in the land of gold. Father (Jabe) returned by sailboat and had a long, stormy passage of thirty or forty days. How long "Arch" and "Lum" remained or how they returned we are unable to say." Source: By an Oregon Pioneer Fireside Citation details: page 34
