April 12, 1911 Surveyor's Statement
This copy of a 1911 statement by Benson County Deputy Surveyor, Joseph Ganong, contains a rare reference to John C. Hunter, a pioneer land owner in Soap Creek Valley. Hunter's claim (Cash certificate 1956) included the south half of the southwest quarter of Section 28, Township lOS. range 5 W. W.M. It has been owned by Starkers Forests since the 1950s.
State of Oregon County of Benton
I, Jos. A. Ganong, Dep. C.S. do hereby make the following statement appertaining to
the Survey known as County Survey #91.; in Tp 10 & 11 South, Range 5 W. of Will. Mer. in Benton County: Survey began at the original N.W. corner of the A.Writsman D.L.C.#47 Ran thence South on said line to the S.W. corner thereof. Reestablished said corner; thence N. 89°-58'E to the original corner of said Claim, thence North to Interior corner of said Claim, At this time appeared Joseph C. Hunter, a former owner who gave testimony and pointed out to me the position of the original stakes made reference to in a certain deed from J. C. Hunter, Irene, Ira, and Martha A. Hunter to A. H. Perham6 on March 9, 1872, recorded on Book I, page 612, also in Book N, page 384, same Grantor and Grantee, Record of Deeds, Benton County, further verifying the above statement by uncovering a stone set by the Yew stake on the East end of the line and positively identified a yew post on east end of said line as the original post recited in the call of above deed, and in conformance with the testimony thereof, I set stakes on the D.L.C. lines at the intersection with said line between above mentioned points. The area was calculated by Latitude and departures of lands inclosed within the green lines shown on accompanying plat, the areas outside being taken as per deed. Mr. Cook, not wishing to inclose the isolated tracts, consisting of approx. 80 acres in Sec. 5-Tp.11, S-R5 W. and 128 acres in Sec. 33, Tp. 10S.A-5, W. excepting however that the lines on this tract were run as shown on plat, the creek not having been run.
Signature (Joseph A. Ganong) Deputy Co. Surveyor
6 The name is possibly A. S. Perham as spelled in the 1910 Deed and in the 1911 Warranty Deed. A. H. Perham instead of A. S. Perham could be a typo.
