Clipping from the Fossil Journal of September 1905 - DEATH OF AN EARLY PIONEER - Wife of Archibald Wilkes - Mahala Glenn Wilkes

"Died at the home of Wm. Thompson on Alder Creek, Wheeler County, Oregon, September 9 , 1905 , Grandma Wilkes , a pioneer of Oregon, who crossed the plains with an ox team from Missouri in 1845. She was 81 years of age at the time of her death.
Thus passeth away another of the pioneer people of Oregon and none other of the writers acquaintances has filled a larger, or better, place in the pioneer history of Oregon than she."
