Mrs. Waldron was born at Evansville, Ind., March 29, 1829, and was married to Charles Hancock in Iowa when 17 years old. In
1852 she started with her husband and three children by oxteam for Oregon and while on this trip a son was born to Mrs. Hancock.
After arriving at Troutdale Mr. Hancock and one of the children were taken ill and after a few days' illness died and they were
buried near where the family was camped. Mrs. Hancock started with her three children the following Spring for Oregon City,
where she took up a donation land claim. She later met and married Samuel Waldron, who had four small children. Ten children
were born to Mr. and Mrs. Waldron.

Mrs. Waldron is survived by 13 children, 52 grandchildren and a number of great-grandchildren.
