JAMES F. CAUTHORN.-This well known and highly respected grain merchant of Corvallis is a native of the "Sunny
South." Born in Essex county, Virginia, July 7, 1838, in 1840 his parents moved to Missouri, where our subject
grew to manhood, and found employment in his father's store until 1865, when he, with his parents, crossed the
plains to Oregon, and to Benton county. The first three years of his residence in Benton county were spent in teaching
school. In 1868 he was elected County Surveyor, and in 1870, embarked in his present extensive warehouse, commission
and shipping business. Mr. Cauthorn was twice married, first, in 1862, in Missouri, to Miss Fraokie Payne; secondly,
to Miss Martha Mulkey, daughter of Johnson Mulkey, a pioneer of 1844, by which union they have two children, Maude
and Paul.
