Oregon Pioneer of 1847.
Irene E. Eaton was born in Connecticut to Samuel Eaton and his wife (name unk.) on March 29, 1791. She married Elam Young on Oct 24th, 1808 at Otsego Co., New York. She came with her husband, Elam, and sons Daniel, James, Milton and John Quincy Adams Young in 1847 across the Oregon Trail to live in Washington County, Oregon, arriving Oct 8, 1847 after a five month, 2,000 mile journey. She and Elam filed for 640 acres of rich fertile land in Washington County, Oregon Territory in 1847, DLC#OC 0040. Sadly, her husband of 46 years passed from this life on Jan 9th, 1855. Following his death she went to live with her son, John Q. A. Young and his family on their farm near the township of Beaverdam in Washington County, Oregon until she also passed away ten years later, in 1865. She was buried next to her husband with whom she had spent so many years and traveled so many miles to live in the Oregon Territory. She had watched the territory become a state in 1859 and seen towns spring up and grow between 1847 and 1865, helping make Oregon the great place it is today. May she and her Loved Ones Rest in Peace in Paradise.
