"No person who attended the exercises at the Lewis and Clark Exposition was of more importance on that particular occasion than Mrs. Martha Wood Meriwether Lewis (sic). On that date the memory of the great explorer was honored by a special event, and every person who was in Portland on that day who claims kinship to Captain Lewis was also present at the function.
"Mrs. Trabue came to Portland last month from Kinsley, Kan., where she had resided since 1879, and she expects to make her home here for the remainder of her days. She is residing with her son, Haskin Trabue, in Fulton Park. She has another son in Oregon, Aaron Trabue, who lives at The Dallas. Of late years she has been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Marian Trabue McCanse, at Kinsley. Her daughter accompanied her to Portland.
"Both parents of Mrs. Trabue were first cousins to Captain Lewis. Her father was Henry Wood Meriwether and her mother, before her marriage, was Jane Meriwether, themselves cousins. Eleven children were the fruit of this union. Mrs. Trabue being the tenth child. Henry Wood Meriwether married again after his first wife died, and his second wife who was Dorothea Lewis Hill, bore him nine children. Henry Wood Meriwether was the son of David Wood Meriwether, who married Mary Lewis, an aunt of Captain Lewis. The famous Captain's mother was a Meriwether.
"Mrs. Trabue was born near Russellville, Todd county, Kentucky, October 4, 1826, and will be 79 years of age next month. Her name appears in the family record giving the genealogy of the Meriwethers in America.
"Way back in Todd county, Martha Wood Meriwether was wooed and won by Fenelon Trabue, himself a decendant (sic) from a well known family. His original American ancestor was Antione Trabue, a Huguenot refugee from France during the reign of Louis XIV, who fled first to England and from there came to America, settling in Virginia, near Manikin, on James river.
"Fenelon Trabue was a prosperous young farmer of Todd county when he married Martha Meriwether, and soon after his wedding be moved to a farm near Carlinville, McCoupin (sic) county, Illinois. From there he moved to a farm near Kinsley, Kans., in 1879. He was 81 years of age when he died.
"Despite her age, Mrs. Trabue is very bright mentally. She takes a keen interest in the Lewis and Clark fair and is proud of the great exhibition that has been erected here on the banks of the Willamette in honor of the great man of her family.
