Sidney Reese Porter was the fourth and last child born to William Porter and his first wife, Sarah Coffee Porter. He was a very small child when his family left Illinois and moved to Aumsville, Oregon, a trip that lasted about six months. They faced many hardships, not the least of which was the sickness and eventual death of his mother shortly after arriving in Aumsville. His father then remarried his mother's sister, Martha, and Sidney was raised in a family that had 7 children altogether.
