Rev. John Dollarhide A Pioneer Family of Northern California, Oregon, and Washington Prepared by William
W. Dollarhide First Generation 1. Rev. John1 Dollarhide, son of Jesse Dollarhide, Sr. and of Nancy Jane Pierson, born 1 Nov 1814 in Harrison Township, Wayne County, Indiana; died 22 Dec 1869 near Lodi, San Joaquin County, California; and buried Dec 1869 at Woodbridge Cemetery, San Joaquin County, California. He was married 3 Mar 1836, near the present town of Battleground, Tippecanoe County, Indiana to Lucy Reynolds, daughter of Philip Reynolds and of Sophia Hill. Lucy Reynolds was born 25 Dec 1820 in Miami County, Ohio, and died 22 Nov 1892 in Dayton, Butte County, California. John Dollarhide was the first child of Jesse Dollarhide, Sr., who had migrated to Indiana from Virginia by way of Kentucky in about 1813. Jesse Dollarhide, Sr. was a son of either John Dollarhide or Hezekiah Dollarhide -- both men lived on the Clinch River of Southwestern Virginia from about 1795. Before that, they had lived in Randolph and Caswell Counties, North Carolina. John and Hezekiah were sons of Francis Dollahide, III, who had come to North Carolina about 1746 from Baltimore County, Maryland. Francis, III was a grandson of the immigrant to America, Francis Dollahide, I, who had come to Anne Arundel County, Maryland in 1680. Francis Dollahide, I immigrated to America from County Dublin, Ireland, and was probably a son of Andrew Dollehide, an English landlord with a large estate near Dublin, Ireland. John Dollarhide was raised on a farm in Harrison Township, Wayne County, Indiana until about 1827 when the family moved to Fountain County, Indiana. His brothers were Jesse, Jr., born 1816; William, born 1820; and Joel, born 1828. His sisters were Elizabeth, born about 1822; and Mary, born about 1824. His father purchased land in Tippecanoe County, Indiana in about 1835 and died there in 1840 at about the age of 55 years. John Dollarhide was an owner of land as early as 1836 in Jasper County (now Newton Co.), Indiana. By 1850, the sons of Jesse, Sr. (John, Jesse, Jr., William, and Joel Dollarhide), were all married with children, and all had adjoining farms in Jasper County, Indiana near the town of Morocco. John Dollarhide was shown as a head of household in the 1850 census, along with his wife, Lucy, seven children, and his father-in-law, Philip Reynolds, who was living with the family. By 1852, the family was located in Illinois, based on a birth record for one of his children. The family also lived briefly in Dane County, Wisconsin, which was given as the grantee's residence on a deed record dated 1853 for a Fayette County, Iowa, land purchase made by John Dollarhide. However, since at least one of his children was shown in census records as being born in Illinois in 1854, the family may not have located permanently in Iowa until about 1854/55. John Dollarhide was an ordained minister with the Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) and also filled in at Methodist churches. As a circuit rider for the EUB he conducted services in communities along the Rock River of northwestern Illinois and southwestern Wisconsin. He was the pastor of a Methodist church in West Union, Fayette County, Iowa from about 1855 to 1860. Rev. John Dollarhide and family left Iowa in the Spring of 1860, joining a wagon train to California. The youngest son of John and Lucy, Israel Dollarhide, was born during that journey (9 June 1860) on the Platte River Trail in Nebraska Territory. In California, Rev. Dollarhide was a Home Missionary for the EUB, and he traveled all over the Central Valley of California. He was responsible for organizing several EUB churches for new settlements in the area. He was prominently mentioned in Evangelical United Brethren conference minute books as one of the faithful preachers of the gospel in the home mission front. (He was once recorded in the minute books formally apologizing to church superiors for his "comments made in anger..." but his comments were not recorded). John Dollarhide was a land owner and farmer in Indiana, Iowa, and California, in addition to his duties as a minister. He supported his travels in California's Central Valley by selling and trading merchandise to farmers, then trading produce for goods in the nearest towns. His family lived on a farm near the community of Paradise in Stanislaus County, California from about 1864, and after his death in 1869, the family continued to live there until the mid 1870s. Family tradition tells the story that John Dollarhide died from a heart attack while in the middle of a sermon. He was conducting an open-air service near the town of Woodbridge, San Joaquin County. He was buried at Woodbridge Cemetery, information based on an extant record book for the cemetery dating back to the 1860s. There is no grave marker today. Children of John1 Dollarhide and Lucy (Reynolds) Dollarhide were as follows:
Second Generation 3. Nancy 2 Dollarhide, (Rev. John1), born 18 Jan 1839 in Tippecanoe (?) Co., Indiana; died 31 Jan 1879 in Los Banos, Merced Co., California; and buried Feb 1879 in Los Banos, California. She was married 16 Feb 1860, in Fayette Co., Iowa to Samuel A. Smith, son of Louis Smith and of Elizabeth Porter. Nancy and Samuel Smith are considered the founders of Los Banos, California, where they bought a large farm in about 1862. There are oil portraits of Nancy and Sam prominently displayed in the Los Banos Museum, honoring their position as early pioneers there. They had a large family, but their descendants beyond their children have not been identified yet. (See CA 98, "S. A. Smith was the first area sky farmer", newspaper article about early Smith and Dollarhide families in Los Banos, Calif.) This family was mentioned in a biographical sketch in History of Merced County, California (CA 46), by John Outcalt (1925): "Samuel Smith, born near Rock Island, Illinois in 1839... came to Fayette County, Iowa in 1856. In 1862, crossed the plains to California. They spent the first year in Yolo County, Calif., then Solano County for several seasons. They finally reached Merced County October 1878. Samuel married in Iowa Nancy Dollarhide, who was born in Indiana, the daughter of John Dollarhide, who had come to California in the pioneer days, settling on the Sacramento River. Nancy died in 1879, leaving seven children: Oscar E. Smith; Jasper Smith, of Soquel; Grant Smith, now deceased; Frank Smith, of Los Banos; Charles P. Smith, of Los Banos; Alice, and Amanthus Smith. Three children died prior to Nancy's passing." Samuel Smith died 5 Jan 1923 in Los Banos, Merced Co., Calif. His death certificate gives his birth as 14 Feb 1839 in Illinois. He was a resident of Los Banos, California for 55 years, and was buried 7 Jan 1923 in Los Banos. (See abstract, in CA 77 and see CA 45 for Los Banos Cemetery records for this family). Cemetery records reveal some names of children: Nettie May Smith, an infant, died 1877; Mabel and Maud Smith (twins) died as infants, 1878 and 1879; and Amanthuse Smith, born 19 Oct 1864, died 15 Jun 1929. Children of Samuel A. and Nancy2 (Dollarhide) Smith were as follows:
4. William Henry Harrison2 Dollarhide, (Rev. John 1), born 30 Oct 1840 in Jasper Co., Indiana; died 1896 near Fall River Mills, Shasta Co., California; buried 1896 in Pine Grove Cemetery, McArthur, California. He was married 1860 in Fayette Co., Iowa to Lavina A. Reynolds, daughter of F. Reynolds and of ---- ----. William H. H. Dollarhide's early life was spent on the family farm in Jasper County, Indiana, when at about the age of 15, the family moved to Illinois, then soon after to Iowa. He traveled with his new bride to California in the Spring of 1860, making his home first in Solano County, and then near the town of Los Banos in Merced County. By the late 1870s, he moved his family to Shasta County, California near the town of Fall River Mills. The Dollarhides were involved in timber and mining interests. William appears in the Great Register of Voters for Merced County, California, first registered on 1 Apr 1871, with a comment, "certificate from Santa Clara County". He last appeared in the 1875 voter list. Lavina (Reynolds) Dollarhide was born 7 May 1908 in New York. She was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, Shasta Co., Calif. (See CA 62 for an abstract of her death certificate). Children of William Henry Harrison2 and Lavina A. (Reynolds) Dollarhide were as follows:
5. Mary Jane2 Dollarhide, (Rev. John 1), born 15 Jun 1842 in Jasper Co., Indiana; died 4 Jun 1910 in Plumas Co., California. She was married 3 Apr 1860, in Fayette Co., Iowa to Miles Tanner. An obituary appeared in the Plumas National-Bulletin, town of Quincy, Plumas County, Calif., Monday, 6 Jun 1910, page 1: "Death of Mrs. Miles Tanner at Crescent, One of the Old Residents of Indian Valley Answers Final Summons." "The not unexpected death of Mrs. Miles Tanner occurred at an early hour yesterday at her home in Crescent Mills. Late last fall Mrs. Tanner was prostrated by a most serious illness, and for more than a week her life was almost despaired of. Under the skillful care of Dr. Rutledge, however, she improved, but in consequence of her advanced age and debilitated condition, she had been an invalid until the recent attack resulting her death. "Mrs. Tanner was one of the older residents of Indian Valley, and for many years she and her family made their home at Greenville and Crescent Mills. She was the wife of Mr. Miles Tanner and the mother of several children who have since grown to womanhood and manhood. The children living are Mrs. Minerva Brown of Greenville; Mrs. O.A. Wheelock of the same place; Mrs. Thomas McRorie and Mr. George Tanner of Crescent Mills. "Desceased was a devoted wife and mother always endeavoring to do her duty in life's long struggles. To the bereaved husband, children and grandchildren we join in words of kindly sympathy. The funeral ceremonies were held at Crescent Mills this afternoon and were attended by a large number of neighbors and friends." Children of Miles and Mary Jane2 (Dollarhide) Tanner were as follows:
12. Loretta Lucy2 Dollarhide, (Rev. John 1), born 21 Feb 1854 in Illinois; died 27 Mar 1929 in Oroville, Butte Co., California; buried in Oroville, California. She was married 5 May 1870, in Butte Co., California to David S. Keener. Children of David S. and Loretta Lucy2 (Dollarhide) Keener were as follows:
13. Lawrence2 Dollarhide, (Rev. John 1), born 9 Apr 1856 in Fayette Co., Iowa; died 6 Sep 1911 in Fall River Mills, Shasta Co., California. He was married 23 Dec 1888, in Shasta Co., California to Sophia Tanner, daughter of Miles Tanner and of Mary Jane Dollarhide. Lawrence married his own niece. Sophia was a daughter of Lawrence's sister, Mary Jane Dollarhide, who married Miles Tanner. (See vitals for No. 5 above). All of the children of this union had genetic birth defects. Children of Lawrence2 and Sophia (Tanner) Dollarhide were as follows:
14. John Conrad2 Dollarhide, (Rev. John 1), born 17 Mar 1858 in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa; died 7 Jun 1934 in Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington; buried 10 Jun 1934 at Oceanview Cemetery, Pt. Angeles, Washington. He was married 18 Sep 1887, near Pittville, Shasta County, California to Addie McNamer, daughter of John Hurley McNemar and of Amanda Jane Mayfield. Addie was born 20 Mar 1868 in Salem, Oregon; died 19 Feb 1944 in Seattle, Washington. John Conrad Dollarhide was one of fifteen children. In 1860, at the age of two years, his family traveled from Des Moines, Iowa to Dixon, California via wagon train. He was raised in the San Joaquin Valley near the community of Paradise, Stanislaus County, California. When his father died, John was twelve years old, and one of only four children still living at home. He stayed at home caring for his mother and younger brothers and sister, working the farm. He acquired skills in working with horses and was to follow the trade of teamster most of his life. He drove stage coaches and freight wagons, working with large teams of horses at a time. At the age of 29, he met his bride-to-be, Addie McNemar, while driving a stage coach (for her father) near the town of Fall River Mills, California. They nurtured their courtship at the local Grange Hall dances. Addie was a slender, dark-haired beauty, but was a victim of a childhood accident which left one of her legs stiff for her entire life. A daughter of John McNemar, the famous Wells, Fargo Messenger, she knew of many adventures as a young girl. Her father was known in Northern California as the man who was the first to stand up to the bandits stopping stages in the 1870s. John McNemar went into the stage business in Northern California, which took him and his family to the area where John and Addie first met. McNemar shot and killed a would-be stage robber early in his career, which gave him a notoriety that followed him the rest of his life. John Dollarhide often said he married the "belle of the valley." The young couple lived near Pittville for only a couple of years, then traveled to Siskiyou County, California, where they bought a large boarding house in the town of Fort Jones. John continued his trade of teamster, while Addie operated a Hotel/Boarding House. The first six of their nine children were born in Northern California. The business never went well after a new mountain road was built some 20 miles to the east of them -- and after working in the coastal mountain areas bordering California and Oregon, John moved the family to a new homestead in Washington State in 1905. John was never much of a farmer, but worked with his team in the wheat harvests and doing general hauling in the town of Dayton, Columbia County, Washington. The family raised their own garden and kept milk cows, and other farm animals. They were never rich, but they were never hungry, either. John Conrad Dollarhide was a mild mannered man, usually with a pleasant smile on his face. He was a quiet person to strangers, but to his children he was a gentle and caring man -- and they all loved him dearly. He was a very talented singer and played the guitar. His daughter, Mable Hartman, recalled her father sitting in a rocking chair strumming his guitar and singing songs. In 1917, he had two sons who were soldiers in France during World War I, and the old songs he would play would bring tears to his eyes. The whole family would be affected by his music. After the winter of 1921-1922, John saw his daughter Zelma die from typhoid fever, and several of his children taken ill. The family decided to sell the farm and move across the state where jobs and opportunities abounded. He sold the farm and moved to Port Angeles, Washington, where he and most of his sons took work in the local sawmills. He spent a comfortable retirement in Pt. Angeles until his death in 1934. His son, Rev. Albert Dollarhide, officiated at his funeral, and John Conrad Dollarhide was laid to rest at Oceanview Cemetery overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca. His wife followed him ten years later. (See WA4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 [obit], 11, 13 [death cert]). Obituary (WA11), from Port Angeles Evening News, 21 Feb 1944: "Mrs. Addie Dollarhide, 76, widow of the late John C. Dollarhide of Port Angeles, died at Seattle February 19. Funeral services will be held at the Assembly of God church here Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. W. E. Keller officiating. Burial will be in Ocean View cemetery.

58. Rev. Albert Raymond3 Dollarhide, (John Conrad2, Rev. John1), born 19 Apr 1905 near Oakland, Douglas County, Oregon; died 18 Mar 1977 in Blaine, Whatcom County, Washington; buried 24 Mar 1977 in Crown Hill Cemetery, Seattle, Washington. He was married 18 Jan 1930, in Puyallup, Pierce County, Washington to Marjory Watkins Wiles, daughter of Elmer Ross Wiles and of Julia Angeline Watkins. Albert Dollarhide was born during his family's covered wagon journey from California to a new homestead in Washington State. He chose the town of Oakland, Oregon for the event, and the family remained there but a couple of days before continuing on their journey with the new infant. A birth certificate for Albert indicated his name as "Baby Boy Dollarhide", and the attending physician included a note, "These people left the county soon after the birth." Albert was raised on a farm near Dayton, Washington. His father, John C. Dollarhide and his oldest brother, Charles Leonard Dollarhide, had entered homesteads of 160 acres each on adjoining lands, about fifteen miles south of the town of Dayton. Albert attended school at a log cabin called the Dollarhide School on the Touchet River, some twelve miles south of Dayton. It was a one-room schoolhouse, and the teacher was the daughter of the County Judge, a Miss ------. The school got its name from the fact that most of the students were his brothers and sisters, as well as his nieces and nephews, all named Dollarhide, obviously. During the summers, Albert, from age 12, worked in the wheat harvests of the rolling hills near Dayton, Waitsburg, and Walla Walla, Washington -- the most productive wheat-growing region in the world. Before motorized farm implements, the giant wheat harvesters were pulled by as many as thirty horses, and it took a crew of fifty men to swathe, furrow, cut, and collect the wheat; plus they used a dozen or more horse-drawn wagons to load the grain alongside the harvesters. Albert worked at several different field jobs and followed the harvest in the region with a crew of workers, beginning as a water carrier for the work crew, and later, as a teenager, working 12-hour days as part of the harvester crew. His family moved across the state of Washington to Port Angeles, Clallam County in 1919. He began working as a logger at the age of 16 years. For several years he worked at logging camps located in the rain forests of the Olympic Pennisula, the site of the largest cedar and spruce trees in the world. Some trees required loggers standing on "spring boards" some twenty feet above the ground, and using long, two-man cross-cut saws to cut down the gigantic trees. A team of eight or more men was not unusual to cut down the giant trees. A typical old-growth cedar was several hundred years old, three hundred feet in height, and as much as twenty-five feet across at the base. To bring down such a tree, it would often take a crew of sawyers over two weeks of sawing. Albert began work as an oiler, an entry level job involving the care of the tree-felling crews by providing oil for their saws and other necessities. But a short time later, he became a tree feller himself. At the age of sixteen, Albert was six feet tall, about 190 pounds, and could match up physically with just about anyone. Logging camps in the 1920s were notorious for rough and ready characters, fond of liquor, and quick to fight. Albert was involved in a few brawls, but was always able to hold his own. In the late 1920s, Albert spent time traveling and working at various jobs in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana, using the hobo method of travel -- jumping freight cars. In 1926, Albert went to church with his mother in Port Angeles, who attended the local Salvation Army chapel regularly. Albert became a born-again Christian, and felt a call from God to be a minister of the Gospel. He was ordained a minister by the Assemblies of God in 1928. Rev. Albert Dollarhide was capable of delivering intense Bible-thumping and fire-and-brimstone sermons, but was also known for his sincerity and humbleness. He was a gifted public speaker, and often brought his audience to laughter and tears within the same sermon. His best sermons were those in which he talked about "the love of God" and used colorful illustrations from his own life experiences to get his message across. His children often accused him of having only 52 sermons, because the family seem to move every year. His first church was in Enumclaw, Washington, and it was during his first term as a pastor that he met and married Marjory Wiles. They had the first two of their seven children in Enumclaw. Rev. Dollarhide then took a church in Aberdeen, Washington, followed by churches in Eugene, Corvallis, and Salem, Oregon; and later in Moses Lake, Spokane, Brewster, and Winthrop, Washington. He retired to live in Blaine, Washington in 1967, where he lived until his death in 1977. Marjory Watkins Wiles was the oldest of three daughters born to Elmer and Julia Wiles. The three were only fifteen months apart, and were raised like triplets. Her childhood was comfortable, living at home with her mother and sisters, while their father was on the road often. He was a traveling salesman. They moved frequently, and her father followed his dream of being an independent business owner. He failed at several different businesses -- but thrived when he took work as a salesman. The family lived in Topeka, Kansas in 1910 and later in Atchison, Kansas. They also lived in Malvern, Iowa and in Minot, North Dakota. In 1919 the family moved to Seattle, Washington, where a cousin had lived for several years. Marjory's father worked in the shipyards in Seattle for a few years, then went back into sales. She learned to play the piano at an early age, and by 16 was playing for church services in Seattle. She met Albert Dollarhide at a church service in Seattle, where he was the speaker. Children of Albert Raymond3 and Marjory Watkins (Wiles) Dollarhide were as follows:
