SIMON KENTON HATCHER is the owner of eighty acres of improved and developed land in Coos county, Oregon, Which constituted a part of his father's original homestead. He follows general farming, gives a great deal of attention to his dairy and is ranked among the enterprising and representative citizens of his district. He was born in Iowa in February 1860, and is a son of John R. and Emily Smith Hatcher, the former native of a Indiana and the latter of Tennessee. His father came to Coos county in 1877 and settled on the tract of land which his son is now operating. He followed agriculture with success until his death in the summer of 1887, and had long survived his wife, who passed away in the year 1877. They were the parents of nine children: William A., of Arago, Oregon; Delany R., of Curry county; Simon Kenton, of this review; James A., of Fairview, Oregon, who is married and has ten children; Robert O., of Myrtle Point, Oregon; Perry C., also of Myrtle Point, who has two sons; Rebecca, who married E. M. Clayton, of Gravelford, by whom she has two children; and Perry, who died in infancy.
Simon Kenton Hatcher was reared upon his father's farm and was educated in the public schools of Coos county. He became familiar with the details of agriculture by personal experience early in life and has always operated his farm along the principles learned in his youth. He started active life for himself when he was twenty-two years of age, working for some years in the employ of his father. He now owns eighty acres of the original homestead which was his share of the estate, a brother owning the other half. Mr. Hatcher is almost entirely responsible for the high development of his property. It has been cleared and improved since his father's death, has been fenced, tiled and equipped with labor-saving machinery. He has built new buildings upon his property and has planted his fields to oats and other grain. He engages in general farming and has won success in this field of activity on account of his careful and conservative management and his specialized knowledge of the details of agriculture.
On August 30, 1884, Mr. Hatcher was united in marriage to Miss Ida J. Stillwell, a native of Iowa and a daughter of Russell B. and Olive Ann Walton Stillwell. Her father died on July 1, 1907, and her mother is living at Mayville, Oregon. To Mr. and Mrs. Stillwell were born eight children: William, who resides at The Dalles, Oregon; Russell, of Portland, Oregon; Viola and Edmond, both of whom are deceased; Sidney Everett, who lives with his mother in Mayville; Leona, the wife of Fred Moreland, of Washington; Olive S., the wife of George Eads, of Mayville; and Ida, the wife of our subject. To Mr. and Mrs. Simon Kenton Hatcher have been born six children: Bertha J., whose birth occurred on August 28, 1885, who was educated in the district schools of Coos county and who is at home with her parents: Lucinda, born August 1, 1887, who was also educated in the public schools of her native district and lives at home: Archie, whose birth occurred on the 20th of June, 1889, who attended the district schools of Coos county and who now makes his home with his parents: Sylvia Merl, who died in infancy; Clarence C., born February 11, 1894; who lives at home; and Ernest O., born December 1, 1901, attending school. Simon K. Hatcher's politics are consistently democratic and while he has never sought office his public spirit has led him to accept the position of school director and road supervisor where his efficiency and ability have ranked him among the useful servants of the community.
