Note the alternative spelling of his given name.
The obituary of Dillos D Earp mentions service in the Union Army during the Civil War, and coming to Oregon in the 1870's. He fought in the Indian War, was an artist of no mean ability, story teller, and city marshall of Weston, Oregon.
His wife's [Miranda Ella McGrew] obituary contains the following information: when the Earps and the McGrews came West, they made the trip from San Francisco to Portland by steamship, a stormy voyage of six days. Sailing up the Columbia River, Mrs Earp was standing on deck when her leghorn hat blew off. Three gallants, standing beside her, immediately sailed their own hats into the river.
The trip to Eastern Oregon, in 1878, was by steamboat to Celilo (now the site of Booneville Dam). Passing the portage there, Mrs Earp and her young son continued by boat to Umatilla Landing, where Mr Earp met them and they continued on to Weston by stage. Mr Earp, who had been a police officer in Monmouth, doubled as city marshall and carpenter in Weston several years, eventually going into the music business.
