CHAMPOEG CEMETERY
compiled by Stephenie Flora
Champoeg Cemetery was established in 1853 with the burial of Eugenia Mathiot Bichenot who died June 15th of that year. A plat survey of the cemetery was done in 1860 and it became incorporated in 1873. Throughout the years there have been numerous readings done on the cemetery. During the 1970s Helen E. Austin of St. Paul, Oregon, with others (including Ruth Maitland, Doris and Howard Freeman, Evelyn and Leighton Whitsett, Ralph Yergen and Ruth McBride Powers), attempted to find the approximate location of about 100 unmarked graves at the cemetery. They marked the location of 85 of the graves. In 1986 Norman L. Jette took the research notes of that group and put it into a typed document. I have incorporated their findings with my own to present to you the following information.

"The Tragedy At Champoeg--John D. Fain Shot At An Early Hour Yesterday--In Front Of His Door--Died From The Effects Of The Wound In A Few Hours--His Former Business Associate, J.F. Markley Charged With The Deed-The Inquest Held Over The Remains By Coroner D. F. Lane--The historic little town of Champoeg in the northern portion of Marion county, was the scene of another tragedy early yesterday morning, and the result is that John D. FAIN, a resident of that place, is dead, while his former business partner, J. F. MARKLEY, is held in the county jail in this city, charged with the murder of his former business associate.
The shooting occurred at 5 o'clock, at the home of FAIN, and the latter passed away at 7:30 o'clock after suffering intense pain from his wound. Before dying FAIN told a number of his neighbors, when realizing that he had to pass away, of the whereabouts of his relatives, and also arranged his business affairs hastily.
He stated to a number of his neighbors that J. F. MARKLEY had shot him, out of the back door of the
latter's store, and at a distance of about 25 feet, after telling FAIN, that they might as well have a settlement now, and he (FAIN) should take his medicine.
Immediately after the neighbors found the wounded man, who had crawled into his house and fallen on the bed, a physician was sent for, but before medical aid could reach him the wounded man passes away. Before dying FAIN asked for a minister, and being informed that none oculd be securred short of several hours, and that the Catholic priest would be the nearest, he remarked that he had been raised a Methodist,
becoming unconscious immediately and dying soon after.
At 10 o'clock Drs. W. W. and B. F. GIESY, of Aurora, arrived, but too late to be of any benefit to
FAIN. Deputy Sheriff B. B. COLBATH also arrived at that time, and placed MARKLEY under arrest,
bringing him to Salem.
*****
The two men, Markley and Fain, were in business together in Champoeg for the pas ten years, their
merchandise store standing on ground owned by Fain, and the latter's residence, a small cottage, stood
immediately in the rear and about 65 feet away from the store. About a year ago the two men dissolved
partnership, Markley retaining the stock of goods and store building. Both men were bachelors. Markley
living in a house on the hill above the store, though sleeping in the store; and Fain lived in the house in the rear of the business house.
Sometime after the dissolution of partnership, it is said, Fain offered to sell his land to Markley, but the
latter refused to buy, and Fain, early this spring sold it to C. W. A. Jette, another neighbor. This was said to have caused some ill-feeling, and deceased, it was shown at the inquest held yesterday, had told several neighbors that about May 1st Markley had demanded a deed for the land on which the store stood, giving Fain 36 hours' time to make the transfer. The deed was not made, and on Tuesday evening of this wee (the evening preceeding the tragedy), Jette, the purchaser of the land, is said to have served written notice on Markley, through F. Reavy, to move the store off the ground inside of six months.
Fain's statement of the trouble, made to his neighbors before death ensued, was to the effect that he had
started from his house to the barn below the store to attend his chores, when on passing within about 25 feet of the back door of the store, Markley opened it, and said: "We might as well have a settlement now, and you had better take your medicine," whereupon he fired, Fain falling to the ground.
When the neighbors reached the scene, Markley was on the front steps of the store, about 125 feet from
where the wounded man was lying on his bed. Asked as to the trouble, Markley said that a shot had been
fired, and he believed some one had tried to rob Fain. After he was told that Fain was shot and accused him of the deed, and asked if he would not go to see the wounded man, Markley replied that he had better stay away under the circumstances. He did not appear particularly excited, but frequently inquired as to the condition of his former associate. He attended to business in the store up to the time of his arrest, and
submitted quietly to coming to Salem, and he emphatically denied the shooting.
*****
At 2 p.m., Coroner C. F. Lane began the inquest, before the following named jurors: J. E. Eldreidge, E.
A. Vandainme, W. R. McKay, Patrick Geelan, G. A. Eberhard and A. J. Buyserie. Deputy District Attorney J. H. McNary was present and examined the witnesses, and at the conclusion of the inquiry the jury brought in a verdict, finding that John D. Fain came to his death by a gunshot wound, the shot being fired by J. F. Markley, and that Fain was 43 years old, and was a native of the United States.
Coroner Lane, after the inquest gave instructions about the proper burial of the remains of deceased.
Following is a synopsis of the testimony given by the witnesses at the inquest:
*****
The Testimony
C. W. A. Jette--A resident of Champoeg: Both men had been residents of Champoeg for 15 years. Were in business together for nine years. Markley was in business at the time of the shooting, the firm having been dissolved about a year ago. Witnesses did not see the men before the trouble occurred. He heard shot while in bed; heard Fain scream, and looking out of the window saw smoke, when some one arose from ground and walked around corner of house. It was Fain. Hurried over and found Fain had been shot. Asked Fain who shot him; deceased answered, Markley shot him when passing back of the store toward barn. Markley told him "you might as well take your medicine now," and shot him. Before dying Fain stated he had money in First National Bank, Ladd & Tilton and Bank of British Columbia, of Portland; he said his sisters were Sarah L. Hunter, Clinton, Mo; Alice Jones, Leesville, Mo.; he realized he was dying. He told the men, that he was dying. Only one shot was fired. Fain was on his bed when witness came, and he died there at 7:30 a.m. Deceased had rifle in room. He was not armed when shot. The shooting occurred at 5 a.m. Saw Markley after the shooting. Markley made no statement when arrested. Had gun on the counter, an old-type shotgun, muzzle-loader. Deceased stated positively that Markley shot him. Witness bought land from Fain, and Markley's store stood on land. Markley told Fain he would give him 36 hours to deed land to him, (Markley). This was the statement made by Fain to witness. Neither man was married. Fain was 43 years old. His father was John Fain, and was in Los
Angeles, Calif., when last heard from. After shooting-- an hour after--Markley left store, went up the road, was gone a half hour, and returned, staying in store until arrested. Fain died at 7:30; Deputy Sheriff Colbath arrived at 10 a. m. Witness well acquainted with Markley, and never saw anything wrong with him.
J. A. Jette--Witness lives near Champoeg, knew Markley and Fain. Came down 15 minutes after
shooting, after hearing of it. Found Fain in the house; Fain called witness into the house and stated he was shot by Markley, when he (Fain) passed by back door of the store to barn, Markley opened door of store, and saying: "Now is the time to take your medicine," he fired. Markley stepped out of the door of the store and asked, what was the trouble; witness said, he came over to see; when Markley said: "I have heard no noise around here". Markley spoke to several parties; said he thought there were burglars around and shot Fain. C. W. A. Jette, ? Terhune, John Shieck and John Scotland were present when Markley made the statement. Fain told witness he was done for. Witness never heard threats; Markley had two guns in the store, and said both were loaded.
Frank A. Jette--Knew Mr. Markley. Came over after the shooting with C. W. A. Jette. Saw Fain in his
room; did not hear statements made to C. W. A. Jette. Markley was on front porch of store. Markley asked, if witness found him (Fain), when witness went to telephone. Witness returned later, and Fain was
unconscious. Witness knew of no threats. After deputy sheriff came down, witness entered store.
Colbath asked if the shotgun found was the gun with which the shooting was done, when Markley denied
having fired a shot.
Arthur F. Jette--Did not see shooting. Came over five minutes after. Saw Markley on store porch, and Fain on the bed; heard Fain say, Markley shot him; that Markley came to the door and told him to take his medicine. Fain said he would surely die. When witness left the house, Markley asked how Fain was resting. Later witness heard Markley and Richard Terhune discuss a hop yard.
James E. Smith--Witness came to the scene at 5:30 or later; corroborated testimony of former witnesses
regarding statement made by deceased, as to Markley's shooting. Witness saw Markley on front porch, asked what was the trouble. Markley said some one was shot, he believed Fain was shot by burglars; asked why he did not go to see the wounded man, Markley said Old Man Jette had accused him of shooting Fain, so he would not go over. At 10 o'clock, (after the shooting) witness paid Markley a bill, the latter saying nothing about Fain; witness saw gun lying on the counter. Usually the gun was under the counter or in the corner. Gun was a double-barrelled shotgun muzzle-loader.
John Terhune--Went to Jette's store where he heard that Markley shot Fain, when deceased told him
Markley shot him. Started for St. Paul where witness phoned to Dr. C. S. White. Found White had gone to Portland. Met Markley; latter said someone had attempted to hold up Fain, and shot him. Markley did
not come over; witness asked him to come, but Markley refused to see wounded man. Markley was not told that Fain was dead. Markley had talked of property he wanted where the store stood, but made not threats in hearing of witness.
A. Jette--Came over after shooting, 6 or 7 minutes; heard the shot at 5 o'clock, and heard man shout; he at once came over; went in front of Markley's store; Markley asked what was the trouble, some one was
shooting; went to Fain's house, and Fain stated "Markley shot me." Fain was suffering considerable;
Markley did not come over; but asked witness, as latter went away, what the trouble was, and he was informed that Fain accused him of the shooting. Markley appeared excited; said nothing about burglars. Witness came to take wounded man to his house to care for him, but could not move him. Witness saw Fain in trying to enter the house after the shooting fall on the porch. When he came to the house, Fain was in bed.
J. A. Jette, recalled--Did not go into Markley's store often; was at the house first; Fain was at window of bedroom and called witness.
Dr. B. F. Giesy--Called to see Fain, arriving at 10 o'clock, 2 1/2 hours after man died. Witness and Dr.
W. W. Giesy performed autopsy. They found deceased to be about 43 years old, and had died from the effects of a gunshot wound. The shot entered the left side, four inches below the left nipple, and one inch to the left of the nipple; penetrated the abdominal wall, piercing the spleen, stomach and liver; buckshot and wadding passed through from left to right, lodging under the skin on right side, 6 inches below the right nipple, and 3 inches to the right of the right nipple. One buckshot lodged about 2 inches to the right of the wadding, and two buckshot were found in the wadding lodged under the skin, the wadding--a rag--having partially penetrated the skin. There were no powder marks; the wound was fatal, death resulting from the wound. Mrs. Elizabeth Jette, wife of C. W. A. Jette--Heard shot and heard Fain scream; saw smoke from gun; saw Mr. Fain falling on porch. The smoke was at back door of Markley's store. Saw Fain attempt to enter the house by the rear door, and fall several times. Fain told witness a short time ago that Markley gave him 36 hours to give deed to ground on which the store stood; this conversation occurred 3 or 4 weeks ago.
C. W. A. Jette, recalled--Saw Fain first between house and store; Fain was getting up and passed around corner of the house. Saw smoke right at back door, drifting away from the store; it was such a smoke as would be caused by a charge of black powder fired from a shotgun.
John Shick--Witness saw Fain before he died; Fain said, he was dying; that Markley had shot him. Fain's hands were cold, and wounded man could hardley see witness. Witness went to watch Markley. Markley asked twice if Fain was shot with shotgun or revolver. He thought some one was trying to rob Fain of his money, Markley asked where Fain was shot.
J. A. Hamar--Resides three miles from Champoeg. Knew Markley and Fain. Came to town and heard Fain was dead. Talked to Markley. Witness asked Markley about the disturbance was, Markley, replied, some one had tried to rob Fain. Markley was quite nervous. Fain recently (about May 1st) told witness that when he had sold his place, Markley had threatened to kill Fain, if latter would not deed him property, on which the store stood. In conversation Markley made derogatory statements about Fain.
Mrs. Margaret Jette--Heard shot and Fain's shout about 5 a. m. Corroborated testimony of her husband
regarding the occurrence. About 250 yards from Jette's house to scene of shooting.
Miss Lilly Jette, daughter of A. Jette--Saw Fain fall off porch on south side of the house about four feet;
later saw him rise.
A. Jette was recalled and testified to the distance from his house to that of Fain's, estimating it at 300 yards.
*****
Feeling in Champoeg
Fain and Markley have both lived in Marion county for a number of years. The former has been a resident of Champoeg for the past 12 years, and Markley has resided in and near Champoeg for 35 years. The latter is about 55 years old. Both men have been well respected citizens of that section, and none of the witnesses yesterday testified to the knowledge of any serious trouble between the two men or between
Markley and any one of his neighbors. Both men were well-to-do and were considered good business men.
Champoeg was excited yesterday morning, there was some talk of mob violence, and it was even said that once a party had secured a rope, but this portion of the community soon quieted down, and was willing to let the law take its course, and yesterday afternoon the residents of Champoeg stenuously denied that any threats of mob violence had been made.
Markley will be brought before Justice of the Peace J. O'Donald at 10 a. m. todays, when he will be
arraigned, and the time of the preliminary hearing will probably be fixed for Friday." Oregon Statesman June 26, 1902.

The Hall Family
The third generation of the Hall family in Oregon is
ably represented by A.D. Hall, one of the progressive
and very successful agriculturists of the vicinity of
Willard. He was born on the old Benjamin F. Hall
donation claim near Woodburn, September 6, 1857, a
son of Benjamin F. and Mary Ann (Johnson) Hall,
natives respectively of Missouri and Illinois, the former
born at Liberty, Mo., October 19, 1826. His mother
was born in Tazewell county, Ill., July 2, 1829.
James E. Hall, the founder of the family in the
northwest, and the grandfather of A.D. was born in
Virginia in1798, and by trade was a stonemason. He
was reared on a farm and educated in the early
subscription schools. In his native state he married
Cynthia Grooms, who was born in the Old Dominion
state in 1804. At a very early date these young people
removed by horse teams to Missouri, the journey being
a long and tiresome one, but they finally found a fertile
farm in the wilderness of Clay county, where they made
a home and lived in comparative comfort until crossing
the plains to Oregon in the spring of 1845. In the
spring of 1846, they settled at Champoeg, Marion
county, where the grandfather took up a donation
claim, upon which he lived for many years. He was
one of the familiar figures in his neighborhood, a good
farmer, excellent man, and the personification of
industry and frugality. During the latter years of his
life his wife and himself lived with their children, he
attaining the age of eighty, and she the age of ninety-
four years. THey raised a family of nine children, to
whome they gave every advantage in their power, and
whom they taught to lead upright and worthy lives.
Benjamin F. Hall corssed the plains with his parents
in 1845, and assisted in clearing the pioneer farm near
Champoeg. In 1848 he went to California, where he
prospected and mined with indifferent success for a few
months. Returning to Oregon he took up a claim near
Woodburn. In 1853 he married Mary Ann Johnson,
who crossed the plains with her parents in 1851, her
father, Rev. Neill Johnson, being one of the pioneer and
best-known ministers in Oregon. Mr. Hall has up to the
present time lived on his original farm, where he has
since engaged in general farming and stock-raising.
From his first voting days he has been a Republican,
and has taken a keen interest in the undertakings of his
party in this state. The following children have been
born to himself and wife: A.D.; Sophrona, wife of
G.W. McLaughlin, of Buena Vista, Ore.; Elmer N., of
Buena Vista; Edwin T. of Salem; Charles C., of
Woodburn; Edith E., the wife of John Haller, of
Woodburn; and James J. of Woodburn.
The youth of A.D. Hall was uneventfully passed on
his father's farm, but after his marriage in 1886 with
Julia S. Smith, a native of Columbia, Mo., and a
daughter of Jacob Smith, he located on a farm near
Woodburn, which continued to be his home for about
fifteen years. He then bought his present home of two
hundred and two acres in the Waldo Hills, twelve miles
east of Salem, where he has more than realized his
expectations as a general farmer and stock raiser. For
the past fourteen or fifteen years he has interested
himself extensively in Jersey cattle, and for many years
has derived additional income from the management of
a threshing machine during the harvest season. Mr. and
Mrs. Hall are the parents of six children: Hubert N.,
Annie M., Agnes S., Oren, Alice (deceased), and Alma
F. Mr. Hall is affiliated with the Republican party, and
has several social connections, among them being the
Ancient Order of United Workmen, in which he has
held all of the chairs, and the Grange at Macleay. In
religion he is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, and contributes liberally towards its general
support. Mr. Hall is a broad minded and well informed
agriculturist, and keeps abreast of the times on all
topics which appeal to wide awake and progressive
members of the community." Portrait and Biographical
