"He (George) had married Mary S. Jackson, whose people were also on the original wagon train and were among those who remained at Liberal in Clackamas County. She had attended the first Sisters' School in Portland as indicated on a "sampler" which she made while still there. She played the organ and owned a small one which accompanied the family on each move, and she was the one who played for social events as well as for church and for funerals. At these times, weather permitting, she wore around her shoulders the embroidered silk shawl that had been a part of her trousseau. Born to George and Mary at Aumsville were Volney; Nettie (Blinn); Rice, and Clara (Mrs. V.C. Belknap)."
"Concluding his business with Mr. Coolidge who then went into banking with a Mr. McLane, McHaley moved his family to a site on Cotton Creek about three miles from Monument in Grant County. He ran cattle, sheep, and horses and did very well despite the water problem controversy he got involved with the Hamilton family, the family after whom the town is named. Mr. Hamilton had arrived a year before Mr. McHaley and undoubtedly had prior claim. Born at Monument were Inez, (Mrs. J.H. Fell); Rodney T.; and their last child , Anne (Mrs. W.W. Wood). During the years at Monument there was trouble with the Indians and during one general uprising the settlers were forced to take refuge in the fort at The Dalles."
"In the meantime McHaley had become attracted to the John Day valley leaving the northern Grant ranch to his oldest son Volney, he moved to Prairie City about 1881. His wife Mary died shortly before moving to Prairie. He purchased the Buckingham ranch which was adjacent to the town of Prairie. He called it the "home place" and built a white frame house of colonial design. The family brought over the body of his wife about 1907 (30 years after her death) to be buried on the hilltop overlooking the valley with the majestic Strawberry Butte as a backdrop."
