BIO:
MARCUS M. CAHOON. Marcus M. Cahoon was born in Benton county, Oregon, August 29, 1849, and now lives on a farm nine miles northwest of Ellensburg. His father was Mark Cahoon, born in Virginia, November 16, 1810. He, too, was a farmer, and removed from his native state to Ohio, thence to Indiana, and later to Missouri. During 1847 he came to Oregon in the capacity of captain of a wagon train, having in line one hundred and fifty wagons. In 1858 he went to Jackson county, Oregon, and in the spring of 1860 went to Yolo county, California, and from that state, in 1865, came to Lewis county, Washington Territory. In 1877 he removed to Yakima county, and in the spring of 1878 he came to the Kittitas valley, where he died in 1890. He was of Irish descent. Our subject's mother, Ann (Modie) Cahoon, was born in Ohio, of Scotch and German parents, and died May, 1852. The first eleven years of Marcus M. Cahoon's life were spent in school in Oregon, in Benton and Jackson counties. In 1860 the family removed to Yolo county, California, and thence, August 8, 1865, to Lewis county, Washington, and engaged in farming. November, 1877, Marcus left Lewis county and came to Yakima county. In the spring of 1878 he removed to the Kittitas valley, and in May pre-empted a quarter section of land, which he later homesteaded. He has been improving this land ever since, and now has the major portion of it in cultivation. His brothers and sisters are: Adaline E. Simmons, born in Missouri, 1837, now of North Yakima; Jenette Ford, Liddie A. Ford, Cynthe J. Hawkins, and J. W. Cahoon, of Ellensburg, all born in Missouri, and only the first and last named are now living.
In Lewis county, Washington, December 6, 1875, Mr. Cahoon was married to Miss Emma Barton, daughter of Jackson and Belinda (Calvert) Barton, the former a native of Ohio, born in 1824, and the latter of Pennsylvania, born in 1833. Mrs. Barton died in 1873. Jackson Barton was a farmer who crossed the Plains in 1853 and settled in Lewis county, Washington, where he still lives. Here Mrs. Cahoon was born, December 6, 1857, and was educated in the common schools of her native county. She was married in her eighteenth year. Her brothers and sisters are: Effie Kieth, born September 6, 1864; Grant, June 14, 1867; Alvin, February 13, 1870; Clinton, October 17, 1874; Mary Sidel, born in Missouri, July 16, 1851; Clark, born in Umatilla county, Oregon, en route from Missouri, July 24, 1853; Amelia Davis, July 4, 1855; Harvey, January 7, 1860, and Ella Harrison, June 13, 1862. They were all born in Lewis county, Washington, with the exception of Mary and Clark, and all but Clark, Harvey and Alvin, who are now deceased, reside in the Evergreen state.
The children of Mr. and Mrs. Cahoon are: Clinton M., born in Yakima county, January 3, 1878; Effie A. Moen, born in Kittitas county, September 5, 1882; Marcus E. and Nora E., both born in Kittitas county, June 22, 1884, and February 19, 1886, respectively. The children all live in the vicinity of Ellensburg. Mr. Cahoon has, besides his land, forty head of cattle, and a sufficient number of horses, implements, etc., to successfully cultivate his farm. He is an active worker in the ranks of the Republican party, is a foremost leader in all movements put on foot for the betterment of surrounding conditions, and is universally respected and regarded as an industrious and conscientious citizen.
