MARTIN LUPER
a farmer three miles south of Norwalk, is a native of the Keystone State, born in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in 1817, and is a son of Jacob and Nancy (McMurtry) Luper. His father moved to Huron County, Ohio, when Martin was twelve years old, and there followed farming until his death. Mr. Luper went to Illinois when a young man, and there, on October 24, 1841, married Margaret Robinson, who died April 11, 1844, leaving one child. He married Frances Dunbar, April 14, 1846, with whom he crossed the plains in the early days of California, coming with three two-horse wagons and eighteen yoke of cattle, about half of them being cows, and one span of mules and one of mares. They were on the way from April till August 27, 1853. His wife died May 16, 1859, leaving five children. He followed farming very successfully in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, till 1878, when he moved to Los Angeles County. Since coming here he has also been very successful. He owned a fine farm near Downey till recently, when he sold out at a handsome profit and bought 160 acres of land where he now lives. He has built a very commodious residence and barn, overlooking the finest scope of country toward the ocean that can be seen in this county. On this ranch he has two fine artesian wells, and has planted some fine orchards of bluegum, oranges, peaches and apricots; and in his wide and fertile pastures may be seen some of the finest horses in this or any other part of the State. Mr. Luper married Mary Gosner in Los Angeles, February 8, 1889. She is a native of the Buckeye State, being born near Mount Vernon, and is a daughter of Dr. Joseph and Sarah (Plue) Gosner. Her father was of Pennsylvania Dutch origin, and her mother of French. Her father was a farmer in his early life, but later a practicing physician. Mr. Luper has been a man of energy and eminently successful. He is one to whom " Nature has been kind," and in his old days, which are now beginning to come on, he will be able to extract as much comfort from life as any man living.

Notes:
REMINISCENCES OF TRIP ACROSS THE PLAIN
By JANE LUPER DOUGLAS
Now, as Uncle John Luper has crossed the Plains, I will see what I can think of, or see if I can freshen up my memory of those childhood days out on the Plains where we saw Indians, Buffalo, Rocky Mountain Sheep, Sage Hens and Rabbits.
It was in the Spring of 1853 that I remember well of leaving the old Home place in McDonough County, Illinois, for Oregon.
My father had three large wagons loaded with provision and clothing besides a large spring wagon that Ma and us children rode in. This wagon was drawn by a span of large mares, and the large-loaded wagons were drawn by oxen. We had several cows that were broke to yoke and hitched to the wagons the same as the oxen, but I don't remember of seeing the cows put into the teams with the oxen.
After bidding all the friends and relatives good-bye, we drove up to Uncle Issac Butler's to stay that night. And after supper there, we went over to my Grandfather Robinson's and there ate another supper, though my supper there consisted mostly of biscuit and honey and I don't think that I have ever tasted honey that was half so good, and that too with big fat cream biscuit. My, I can almost taste them yet.
Well, after bidding those relatives good-bye in the morning, we started on, and it seemed to me only 2 or 3 days till we reached the Mississippi River that we crossed at Burlington. There we stopped for awhile. I remember that Ma went into the store and done some shopping. And I sat there in the wagon and watched the fashionably dressed women. It seemed to me that I never saw so many pretty women. I am surprised now that our men didn't all stop there - according to my childish fancy they were something grand.
Then on and on we traveled, through the state of Iowa through storm and mud. When almost across that State, we saw the first Indians
98
out in their war paint, great tall, strapping big fellows that made us children crawl back into the wagons and cover up our heads.
The Indians came out to meet the emigrants, holding out their hands, begging for money. Before we reached the Missouri River, we stopped at Council Bluff to load in provisions that had been shipped on ahead from some point near our old home, I think Canton. After Pa and the men had loaded in their freight, we drove on and I believe crossed the Missouri River that afternoon, late. There on the steamer that crossed us over, I saw the first Negro that I ever saw. And that scared me almost cold, for as he pulled our hack on deck, I thought he was going to pull us into the river. But we were all cold that night for we had to crawl off to bed with just crackers and hardtack for our supper. I remember of complaining over that night's lodging too. The river was rising fast and the men had to get some teams together and haul the wagons up out of the river bottom into the woods that was higher land; and there tied their teams to the trees ill morning. There is the spot where Omaha now stand. Then, after driving out into the open prairie, a pretty spot I thought, they made a fire and cooked eur breakfast. I don't remember anything of importance for a long distance, only the long tedious journey. It was travel all day. Stop and camp. Cook and eat - the next day the same thing over. And so on to the end.
I can look back now and see so many little things that are only "memories" now.
And I don't wonder that the men got too lazy to wash their faces when we struck camp-even refused to wash before they ate. I remember one evening that Pa told them there was no supper for them unless they washed and cleaned up a little. And just think of the dust and heat. But we were all there and had to keep moving if it was tiresome, and so it was. I remember of crossing Green River, a rough, rocky stream but the water so low that we forded. And after crossing safely, I got the worse scare that I encountered on the whole trip with an old Indian.
I was riding in Uncle John's wagon and an Indian came sneaking up along beside the wagon as we were waiting for other teams to come on;
and the off ox, Old Buck that would not let any of us children come near him was so very kind that he let that old Indian come forward between him and the wheel to look in and see what was inside of that wagon. Of course he saw a rifle strapped on each side of the wagon bows. Well, maybe I did not let out a yell loud enough to raise the dead on those plains, and I gave Uncle John a scolding besides. To this day I have no love for an Indian nor do I like to read Indian stories
Well do I remember old Fort Laramie where Pa came near turning one of his men away for taking something that did not belong to him. I wrote my name on that Independence Rock that Uncle John mentions in his diary, and I tried to do what I saw others do, except to plunge into some stream and try to swim.
99
I also remember a big snow storm on Bear River on the 4th of July. I also remember Hot Springs and crossing a small stream where the water was hot enough to wash clothes. One spring they called Humboldt that was huge like a great boiling kettle. On Platte River I saw a herd of buffalo plunge into the river and swim across to the other side. We heard thunder storms in that country that were hard to beat. So along in that country it was thunder storms and Indians. One time as soon as our cattle were turned loose, they swam across a stream and into the woods' they went, seemingly on an Island I know. I rode there day after day, reading the Guide Books to see where would be our next camping places; those books which tell the names of streams and mention the camping places and if there was grass or not. Pa made it his business to walk on ahead towards evening to hunt up a camping place where there was water and grass - and wood if to be had.
Well, finally we drifted on over the Cascade Mountains into Oregon, or better yet, into the Willamette Valley and on into Linn County where Pa bought out Avery Smith's Donation Claim, paid him $500.00 in gold - yes, in 50 dollar "gold slugs" that I never forget. There we were in a house again and how glad to have an earthen plate to eat on once more. Now you know all the rest. So, good-by till we reach the other country.

Notes:
Letter written by Grant Lupfer.
April 10
It took my father six months in 1853 to make only a part of that trip - and to write a little history. My Father had Jane-10; Lewis-5; James-3; George-1; when they crossed the plains. My mother's family: Father and Mother-50 and 49; Oscar Warren -22; Lansing-20; De Lavantia Elizabeth-18-my Mother; James- 14; William-13. My father got thru well - but my mother's folks when they arrived at the Fort Hall location in Idaho near Boise were so badly off that they took the rear wheels of their wagon and made a cart of it and used the best yoke of oxen from there to the Portland area and the two remaining oxen to be killed for food. And all the children walked barefoot from there to the end of the trip and only carried what had to be for absolute needs. My mother had some sheets that she had woven and carried them until she had to throw them by the wayside - she was so little - never weighed more than 108 or 110.
In later years my father's wife died and my mother had married and had Raleigh, David and Vesta Anne and became a widow. Grandmother Warren kept house for my father a while, then my mother moved in with her three children and they were married. And when I look back on that hardship, I wonder how they stood it. And my mother had the most wonderful discipline. One of our real sins was to snuff our nose instead of using our hankies. At the table once when we were all seated - help and all - about fourteen, help and all, I snuffed my nose (I was probably six) - I heard my mother's foot tap on the floor. I looked and caught her eye. A side-wise nod of the head that meant leave the table - and I quietly left until the meal was over and then I finished my meal but no one except myself and mother knew what had happened. And there were very few "don't's" in my childhood. I was allowed a lot of leeway. One day while on the old ranch, a man passing by while I was out in front, stopped to pass the time of day and asked who lived there, etc. And asked me it I was a good boy. I told him I "minded my mother". He said, "Well, you are a pretty good boy if you mind your mother."
My early childhood was a very happy one - we were never "hard up" - good horses, cattle, sheep, wagons, etc., well-kept fences, barns, harness, etc.
