South Hill History: The Last Covered Wagon Immigration up to South Hill:
On Aug. 12, 1921, the Ole Gabrielson family left Pocatello, Idaho, in a covered wagon and were bound for South Hill [Washington]. They would settle near the intersection of present-day 152nd Street and 86th Avenue. They traveled the entire way by covered wagon. The family consisted of Ole, his wife, Emily, and a 6-week-old daughter, Margie.
Unlike earlier immigrants who used oxen, this wagon was pulled by two horses named Jake and Fly. Fly, a female, had a 3-month-old colt with her. For the most part, the party first traveled on the old Oregon Trail and subsequently on the Naches Pass Trail. They did not go through Naches Pass, however, but instead crossed the mountains through Snoqualmie Pass.
The family first went to Arlington and rested with a relative. Then they continued the trip to South Hill. Diary records show that it took 43 days to travel between Pocatello and Arlington. While records do not exist, it is estimated it took another five days to reach South Hill. So the entire trip took about 50 days. It was about 850 miles or roughly 17 miles per day.
The family apparently made the trip in fine shape. Emily Gabrielson is quoted as saying, "Baby was 3 months old when we arrived ...not a cold or anything else wrong, not even a diaper rash."
