Here is the list of those people who arrived in NPC in 1869.
This was printed in "Growth of Lake County, Oregon", by Georgie Ellen Boydstun Stephenson.
Immediately after the treaty with the Indians had been worked out by General Crook a large number of settlers came to Goose Lake Valley including John O'Neil who had been in charge of a pack train at Camp Warner in 1868. When John was released from military duty, he came to Goose Lake Valley and took up a claim near the state line.
Others who came in 1869 include:
Eli Craven Mason
E.P. Bodger
A.Z. Hammersly
William Hamersley
The Hammersleys came from the Willamette Valley with:
Joe Robnette
T. Reed
William Tandy
Robert Tandy
Milton Brown
A.F. Snelling
H.M. Henders
Three men known only by last name: Spark, Stone, and Bogue
Coming in the same party with the Hammersleys were Mr. and Mrs. Matthew G. McCulley. When this party reached Drews Valley, they laid over a few days
until Billy Hammersley was born. Preparations had not been made for his arrival at this time, so the ladies of the party made clothes for him out of flour sacks.
Alexander Reed and T.B. Reed also came in 1869.
Mrs. Horace (Nancy C.) Myrtle was the first white woman to settle in Goose Lake Valley. She had crossed the plains in 1852 with her family and located
near Eugene OR. She married Horace Myrtle in 1869 and they moved immediately to Goose Lake Valley.
Other 1869 arrivals were:
A. Tenbrook
Samuel Crane
M. Cogswell
Alex Cooper
Ben Warner
Oliver Shaeffer
Ira Cogswell
Frank Cogswell
Alex Contner
B.F. Lewis
John Clark
William Greenman
August Miller
Only three of the people who came in 1869 settled outside Goose Lake Valley: D.A. Lambert, Michaael McShane, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew McCulley
1869 marks the beginning of NPC. The first business there was a general store owned by Desible, Powley and King. A man named Darling was placed in charge of it.
A gristmill was built by Andrew Z. Hammersly in 1871 for Joe Robinette. Joe had moved to the Willamette Valley from Missouri in 1850. He had taken up choice land there, as a donation land claim. Before setting out to the Goose Lake Valley he sold his property. The sale gave him a substantial financial base for
investment in this new raw land.
Andrew was a third generation gristmill builder and operator from Indiana, Iowa and Pennsylvania. He purchased the mill in 1875 and operated it until 1879. He sold it and bought a ranch at the mouth of Hammersly Canyon, just north of Lakeview, (which included the hot springs area now known as Hunter's Lodge.)
