On this day in 1927, the following excerpt from an interview by Fred Lockley with Frazier Ward, an Oregon pioneer of 1853 appeared in the Oregon Journal: "I mined the Sterling Mine during '58 and '59. In 1859 I bought a place at Melrose, six miles west of Roseburg. I was postmaster at Melrose more than 20 years. "I was appointed Justice of the Peace, but didn't like it and resigned. It seemed like too quarrelsome a job. Either the people were fussing with one another or at me because I didn't fix up the fusses the way they wanted, so I wouldn't serve any longer.
