As a pioneer of limited resources Michael Hanley came to the coast in historic '49, and during the years that intervened until his death in 1889, at the age of sixty-four, he arose to popular esteem as a farmer, large land-owner, freighter, Indian fighter, fraternalist. humanitarian, and general promoter of the material, moral and political welfare of Jackson county. No more representative man made his way through the times when order and government were being established on the frontier, or more closely identified his fortunes with the varied and changing conditions by which he was surrounde His was a character which instinctively permeated every phase of county activity, leaving everything in his wake the better for his strength of courage and high purpose. A hard and self-denying youth was the early portion of Mr. Hanley, for his father died when he was about nine years old, leaving his mother with the care of a large family of children. Michael Hanley was born on the home farm near Marietta, Washington county. Ohio, June 24, 1824, and at the age of seventeen struck out in the world as a flat-boater on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Associating with men from all parts of the country, and representing as many occupations, his opportunities for observation were large, and afforded him insight into both character and work. He went often to New Orleans, and there noted the excitement incident to the discovery of gold on the coast, and, having nothing to detain him in any particular place, he decided to follow the tide of emigration westwar Embarking at New Orleans in the spring of 1849, he reached California via the Isthmus of Panama, and until 1851 engaged in mining and prospecting on the Yuba and Feather rivers. Not realizing his mining expectations he came to Jackson county, Ore., and at Jacksonville engaged in the meat business with John E. Ross. In the fall of 1852 he took up a donation claim of three hundred and twenty acres in Douglas county, two and a half miles north of Myrtle creek, on the Umpqua river, and resided there alone until his marriage, December 13, 1854, with Martha M. Burnett, a native of St. Louis, Mo., and daughter of John S. Burnett, one of the prominent men of Douglas county. Mr. Burnett is given credit for the many undertakings in which he has been engaged since crossing the plains in an ox-train first in the spring of 1849 and again in In 1857 Mr. Hanley and his wife removed to Jackson county, and bought a section of land comprising the Clinton and Welton donation claims, two and a half miles northeast of Jacksonville, where they lived until Mr. Hanley's lamented death. In time he added to his original property until he had accumulated several hundred acres, much of which was devoted to extensive stock-raising, and he also engaged in freighting in the early days, later on furnishing supplies to the troops in the Cayuse and Rogue River Indian wars. He was an enlisted soldier in this memorable campaign, and participated in many combats with the Indians. Energetic and far-sighted, he was one of the promoters of the general prosperity of the country. Years of patient labor added to his wealth and gave him countless opportunities for well-doing, and many are the instances still recalled of his

9 unstinted generosity to those less fortunate than himself. He was especially liberal to church organizations, a fact evidencing the breadth of his mind, for he himself never became a member of any church. As a Republican he took great interest in local affairs, and while developing his vast property held a number of local offices. The lodge of Masons at Jacksonville had no more popular or more helpful member. Mr. Hanley was eminently social in his tendencies, and inclined to look on the bright and hopeful side of life. He made many and lasting friends, and his departure from the scenes which had known him so long left a void in the hearts of many of his fellow-townsmen. Mr. Hanley's character was especially shown in his home relations, and the children born into the family came to look upon their father as the personification of manliness and honor. He gave them good educations, and taught them his code of life, watching their developing traits with pride and expectation. John A., his oldest son, is deceased; Alice E. lives on the home place; William D. is a stockman in eastern Oregon ; Edward B. is living in Alaska, and is the partner of Jack Dalton, of mining fame; Ella E. is the wife of Harry Bush, a mine operator of Valparaiso, Chili, S. A.; and Michael F. is engaged in stock-raising near Central Point, Ore. The large estate left by Mr. Hanley has been divided among his children, but the home place is owned and operated by his daughter, Alice E., an excellent business manager, and most estimable and popular woman. Miss Hanley devotes her property principally to alfalfa, having two hundred acres in all, eighty acres of which is under orchar It is doubtful if many daughters have inherited so many of their sire's personal characteristics, or are so well fitted to carry on the work to which they devoted the greater part of their lives. Miss Hanley has cherished innumerable memories of her father, whom she recalls as worthy her tenderest thought and most exalted appreciation."
