Biography

Jackson County (Ore.) is the southernmost county in that state. Apart from the Rogue River Valley, a region well-suited to deciduous orchard crops, it is largely mountainous, forested terrain. The county, one of the last in Oregon to be settled, was organized (1852) following a gold strike. Its 19th century county seat was Jacksonville, near the present-day city of Medford. Most of the documents in this collection bear the signatures of long-time County Treasurer, David Linn (1855-1867), or of one of two early County Clerks, William Hoffman (1860-1866) and W.H. Hyde (1867-1870). Local businesses such as: J.A. Brunner, Sachs Bros. and Anderson & Glenn [dry goods]; T.S. Pomeroy, Henry Denlinger and B.F. Dowell [printers]; and, Comstock & Cawley Livery Stables are frequently represented by bills for goods delivered. Many early residents are named in lists of road crews and delinquent taxpayers.
