LifeSketch: The Scio Tribune September 18, 1919e death of Benjamin Franklin Munkers, which occurred September 8 and of which we made short notice last week, the last of five pioneer brothers passed away, of which this writer has written obituaries. The Munkers family came to Oregon in 1844 and three of the brothers located in the vicinity of Scio. Preston, Thomas M. and the subject of this sketch, Benjamin F, Uncle Riley, another brother located in Marion County. The only member of this very early pioneer and most respected family, Mrs. Elizabeth Estes is now living in Portland. The Munkers brothers were strong factors in the development of the eastern section of Linn county. They were men of sterling qualities and of the metal necessary to develop a new country., and came to Oregon as above stated in 1846, when he was a lad of 15. In 1848 he and some of his brothers went to California when the first news of the discovery of gold reached Oregon. He remained but a year or so when he came back to Oregon via sailing vessel and was a full month making the trip. In 1851 he located on the donation homestead upon which he died. Munkers Station is located on this homestead. With a few months thereafter he married and settled down to spend a long life and to raise a most respected family of children. The children, W. R. Munkers of Lexington, Or., Mrs. Mary E. Neal of Black Rock, and I.N. and J.P. who reside on the old homestead, all of whom have families. No more exemplary citizens than this pioneer family of 1846 ever came west. They endured all the hardships of the pioneer and have lived quiet, unostentatious lives They were kind men that wield a law abiding influence among the pioneer settlements and who developed Oregon Territory to the period of statehood. Their families of honorable upright boys and girls are evidence that they gave the right teachings and examples of right living.
