Quarry Section of Applegate Trail: 1856 Samuel Trimble 1864 Samuel Trimble’s Hugo Cash Entry On October 20, 1864 Samuel Trimble was issued a cash entry patent for 40 acres in Hugo, Oregon (Patent No. 141).1-2 This acreage was purchased three years after Robert and Clementina Trimble purchased the Turner 169.89 acre military warrant which was approximately two miles north of Samuel’s cash entry. Both tracts had the transportation access of the Applegate Trail, the only through road in northern Josephine County. The relationship between Samuel and the Robert and Clementina Trimble family is unknown. 1861Turner Military Warrant "Military Bounty Land Act of March 3, 1855, Roseburg, Oregon. May 9, 1861 Military Warrant #92568 in the name of Rice Benson has this day been located by Anson Turner..." Turner sold the warrant to Robert Trimble one day after he received it from the United States. Samuel Trimble, A Hugo Pioneer: ca., 1860s - 18?? Hall’s Draw Why did Trimble purchase 40 acres at the north end of Hall’s Draw?7 His cash entry is a relatively early purchase about the same time the good prairie and pasture land to the north and south in Schoolhouse and Harris creeks were being located. Applegate Trail The Trimble cash entry was located on the Applegate Trail which is clearly depicted on 2007 Josephine County Assessor maps for the forty.
This same trail location is almost exactly the title used on the 1856 GLO map. "Road from Willamette Valley to Jacksonville" The trail continues through the park to the northwest over I-5 down Schoolhouse Creek. JA-7 The GLO field survey note JA-7 is located in the 40 acre cash entry. Two other GLO survey points are located close to the south. General Land Office (GLO) Field Survey Notes For Applegate Trail
Page 9. Subdivisions of Township No 35 South of Range No 6 West North Between Secs 13 & 14
All three of the GLO points have been located in the field. Want more information? Contact an officer of the Hugo Neighborhood on how you can become involved in your community history and land use. ______________________________________________________________
