     A biographical sketch published before his death said: A worthy representative of an honored pioneer family of Oregon, and one of the most highly esteemed residents of Linn county, Alanson Bridgefarmer, of Tangent, for the past thirty years has been prominently identified with the development and progress of this section of the state, and, as opportunity has occurred, he has given his influence to encourage the establishment of enterprises conductive to the public welfare. A son of the late David Bridgefarmer, he was born January 13, 1832, in Warren county, Ill., of German ancestry...David Bridgefarmer...following the emigrant pathway to Illinois, where he resided a year. Again continuing his march towards the west, he moved with his family to Benton County, Mo., where he lived and labored a number of years. In 1847 he and one of his neighbors, with their families, came to Oregon, crossing the plains with ox-teams, and being six months on the trip. They had no serious trouble on the way, but lost some of their stock, which was stolen by the Indians. After spending the first winter about nine miles south of Vancouver, David Bridgefarmer located in Yamhill county, in the spring of 1848, taking up a donation claim on the west side of Wapato lake, his land adjoining the present site of Gaston. ....After leaving the district school, Alanson Bridgefarmer assisted in the care of the home farm until twenty-two years of age, becoming thoroughly acquainted with the various branches of agriculture. Selecting farming for his occupation, he came then to Linn county, and took up a donation claim at the forks of the Santiam river. A few years later he bought his present farm a mile southeast of Tangent, where he has for overy forty years been prosperously engaged in general farming and stock-raising. During his residence here he has diligently improved his property, continually adding to its value, his beautiful homestead, with its substantial and convenient buildings, giving ample evidence of his skill as a practical farmer. He was formerly extensively engaged in the faising of fine horses, but of late years has paid less attention to that branch of industry. During the Rogue River Indian war he enlisted, in 1855, under Capt. Jonathan Keeney, who commanded Company C, and after serving on guard duty for one hundred and one days, was mustered out of service. October 6, 1872, Mr. Bridgefarmer married Susan A. Bond, a native of Iowa, and brought her as a bride to his present homestead of one hundred and fifty-five and one-half acres of land, and here they established their household. Mrs. Bridgefarmer died December 2, 1886, leaving five children, namely: Huldah I., wife of George Kuthe, of Jefferson; David S., living in Washington; Anna M; Ella F; and William A. In politics Mr. Bridgefarmer is a strong Prohibitionist. He belongs to Tangent Grange, of which he is a trustee, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.¹
