Biographical Note

Indiana-born Fendel Sutherlin arrived in Portland in 1847. Returning from the California gold rush in 1849, he persuaded his landowner father, John Franklin Sutherlin, to migrate to the Umpqua Valley in western Douglas County, Oregon. His donation land claim later became the town of Sutherlin. Fendel married Lucy Richardson in 1854. Their daughter, Anne, married Frank Waite.
