Malcolm (Mallie) Carothers, b. 28 July 1865 in Clarence, Missouri, d. 1945 in Oregon, Missouri

Father: Captain Louis Ferree Carothers, b. 14 November 1816 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, d. 14 July 1871 in Clarence, Missouri
Mother: Angelica Miller, b. 1822 in KY, d. 1 January 1871 in Clarence, Missouri
Both of Mallie's parents died when she was 5 years old. Part of the time she lived with her mother's brother, Malcolm Miller. Later with her brother, Rev. Sam Corothers. When he came to Oregon to preach, she came with him.

Mallie was a very good cook. They ate on white linen table cloths and the table was always completely set. She never put any dish on the table that wasn't prepared perfectly. No scorched, under cooked, watery or overly seasoned food ever left the kitchen. The portions were served according to the worker. Uncle John got the largest piece of pie, then Grandpa got the next smaller, then Ruth got the third size, then Grandma and Aunt Ida got small helpings. She washed nearly everything by hand using homemade lye soap.

Mallie had one of the first pressure cookers in the county. The Farm Bureau had them for sale as an experiment. T.O. bought one in 1922 for $15. It held three quarts. Mallie canned meat, green beans, beets and corn in it. All other things were canned in a copper boiler. They butchered their own beef, pork and mutton. They raised chickens and sold enough eggs at the grocery store to pay for their groceries. Mallie even made the cracked whole wheat cereal they ate for breakfast. It was roasted in the oven and cooked a long time on the back of the stove.

Mother: Elizabeth Steele Jackson, b. 8 January 1835 in Connellsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, d. 9 May 1911 in Oregon, Missouri
T.O. and Mallie probably met at the Methodist Church in Oregon. Mallie's brother, Sam Carothers, was preaching there at the time. Thomas was a Republican and a Methodist. He was one of the better farmers in the county. In February, 1914, he and Will Pennel went to Omaha to buy purebred Holstein livestock. He terraced the steepest hills, dammed up a spring fed creek, dug a well near the spring, erected a windmill and always had a supply of water for the livestock, even in the driest weather. He built a drainage system to filter and store water that ran off the barn in a large cistern.

Thomas Orrick was 5’8" tall and weighed 150 lbs. He had fair complexion, brown hair and blue eyes. The Kreeks always had a collie dog.

John Carruthers (10), b. 1739 in Antrim, Ireland, d. 21 February 1798 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania

Father: Robert Carruthers (3), b. 7 April 1690 in Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland, d. 1771 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
In America, Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania was settled principally by Scotch-Irish. The Scotch-Irish immigrants organized the old Silver Spring Presbyterian Church about 1730. For elections, military training and all public meetings, the church was the central point for several generations. It was about this time that some of the Carruthers family began to change the spelling of their name from Carruthers to Caruthers or Carothers.

John came to America when a child around 1745. *He was listed among the early settlers and had a farm on the east side of Hoge's Run, where it empties into the Conodoguinet Creek and on the south side of the Conodoguinet Creek. Opposite him on the west and up the Conodoguinet Creek, was William Douglas, and in the same neighborhood were John and James Armstrong.

He served in the Revolutionary War as a Lieutenant of Cumberland County from 1777 to 1779 and Captain of the Seventh Company, Third Battalion, 1780-1781. In "Egles Notes and Queries", Volume 6, page 111, we find under "Famous Men of Cumberland Valley": "John Caruthers: Was the son of Robert Caruthers, born 1739. Took an active part in the Revolutionary struggle, and was County Lieutenant, from August 11, 1777 to October 2, 1779. He was elected to the General Assembly in 1782, 1783, and 1784. On the 27th of September 1786, the Supreme Executive Council commissioned him a Justice of Peace, and a Judge of the Common Pleas Court."

The circumstance which resulted in John Carothers' death and a tragedy in his family was this: A young girl, named Sarah Clark, living in the family of John Douglas, contracted a strong attachment for Mr. Douglas' son, who was at that time paying attention to Miss Ann Carothers, daughter of John Carothers, who lived near Silver Spring and was a neighbor of Mr. Douglas.

Sarah Clark, overcome by her infatuation for young Douglas, determined to destroy the life of Ann Carothers and gain the object of her affections. With this aim in view, she hired as a servant in the house of Mr. Carothers and bided her time. Having no ill will against the family, she desired to poison only Ann, and with this in view, she purchased some arsenic. But no suitable opportunity offering, she grew desperate and put the arsenic in a pot of leaven.

The family all ate of the bread and became sick. Captain John Carothers died on the 26th of February, 1798, and his wife, Mary, died soon afterward. Ann Carothers, the intended victim, survived. Andrew Carothers, her brother, also survived, but was a cripple for life. Sally was tried, convicted, and hanged at Carlisle.

John Carothers was a member of the Silver Springs Presbyterian Church. He, with his wife and several children, is buried in the old church graveyard at the Silver Springs Meeting House.
