   Palmira Eliza Trumble was born in Thompkins County, New York, April 11, 1830, moved to Kane County, Illinois, in 1840 and was married to George Masiker in 1847.  With her husband and three children she crossed the plains to Salt Lake in 1852.  On July 4, 1853, they reached Lafayette, Yamhill County, Oregon, and settled on a donation claim.  In April 1860, they moved to Wasco county.  In 1862 they moved over into what is now Sherman County, being the second family to settle in the present limits of Sherman County, where they kept a station on The Dalles-Boise road.  Mr. Masiker died in 1863, and in 1864 Mrs. Masiker was married to Samuel Price, who survives her.  In 1882 they went to Columbus, Wash., from there to near the Block House, thence to Yakima, thence to Kennewick and from there to Hood River, and five years ago to Grants Pass.  Grandma Price, as she was familiarly called, united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1858 and had been a consistent member until death.  Her surviving children are:  William W. Masiker, Walla Walla; C. C. Masiker, Hood River; Mrs. E. M. West, Otis; M. J. Masiker, Grants Pass, and Jay Price, of The Dalles.
