~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following information was taken from the McAllen Daily Press, dated: May 5, 1930.

O. P. Archer whose long 22 year residence was ended Saturday morning by death, which followed in the wake of a lingering illness, Sunday, was honored by hundreds of McAllen and Hidalgo county citizens as last rites were held for him at McAllen High School auditorium.

Before a flower-banked stage, Mr. Archer's last remains lay in a silver casket at the foot of the auditorium. At the conclusion of services those attending filed past the casket to pay final silent tribute to the departed leader whose life span meant much to the city.

Frank G. Crow, John T. Cardwell, T. J. Powell, Stephen Jones, R. E. Horn and John W. Ewing served as pallbearers.

The services were both reverent and impressive, marking as they did the passing of one of the city's best known pioneers. Born in Garland, Tennessee, Mr. Archer came to Texas in 1900. He lived in Corpus Christi for four years, moving later to Brownsville, where from 1904 to 1908 he served as manager of the Texas and Ohio Company sugar plantation near there. In 1908 he came to McAllen, where he resided until his death. Here he was connected with various commercial and municipal enterprises. His outstanding work was his service as mayor of the city, from 1913 until 1923. Other connections included his term as president of McAllen Rotary Club and president of the McAllen Chamber of Commerce.

Surviving him are his widow, Mrs. Clara Hill Archer; two daughters, Clara Martin of McAllen and Hazle Robertson of Fort Stotsenburg, P.I., his mother Mrs. S. E. Archer of Corpus Christi, a sister, Mrs. W. P. Drake of San Benito, and four brothers, Carl C. and Allen of San Antonio, Norman of Memphis, Tenn., and Harry of Corpus Christi.

All except Mrs. Robertson and Norman Archer were present at the Sunday rites.

Mr. Archer was interred at Valhalla Cemetery which was later renamed Roselawn Cemetery.

1741 BRASFIELD

Posted by Lee Gentemann on Tue, 21 Jul 1998

Surname:

BRASFIELD, James W.--was born in Platt county, Missouri, 16 January 1840. His father Thomas W. R. BRASFIELD, was a pioneer of 1821 to Missouri. At the age of 14 our subject entered his father's store where he received his early education in the mercantile business. In 1860 he went to St. Joseph, where he clerked for 2 years; he then joined a
part of young men to seek their fortune in the Golden State, but on arriving near Fort Hall their route was changed and they came to Oregon. In 1863, Mr BRASFIELD went to Harrisburg and entered the employ of Hon. Hiram SMITH, and one year later was admitted as a partner under the firm name of SMITH & BRASFIELD. This firm continued for 10 years, when Mr. B sold out and started a store in Junction City where he did business until 1881, when he sold out and selected Yaquina Bay as his future home and at that time opened his present general store in Newport. In 1883 he purchased the well known Seal Rock property, one of the most delightful places to be found on the Pacific Coast, a description of which will be found in its proper place in this work. Mr
BRASFIELD was married in Harrisburg, Linn county, 1 January 1865 to Miss Lydia OWENS, a native of Kansas, and a daughter of Col Henry OWENS of Topeka; by this union they have an interesting family of 5 children, Arthur S., Hiram, Thomas W. R., Sank O., and Sadie.

HISTORY OF BENTON COUNTY, OREGON
Pub. By: David D. Fagan
Portland, Oregon, 1885

****************************************

The completion of the Oregon Pacific Railroad opened to capital many profitable investments, but it was speculated that "probably none, considering the outlay required, would prove more remunerative than the erection of a hotel and the improvement of grounds near Seal Rock," a challenge took up 1887 by Lydia Owens and James W. Brassfield who attempted to develop the area.

Seal Rocks Resort 1887

South of Highlands and For Far, which were developed in 1888 by William Grant, a Scotsman who was described in a newspaper of the day as a hard working tailor from Corvallis, was Seal Rock Resorts, developed by Lydia Owens and James W. Brassfield in 1887. Brassfield was born in Platt County, Missouri, January 16, 1840. His father, Thomas W. R. Brassfield, was a Missouri pioneer in 1821. At the age of 14, Brassfield entered his father's store where he received his early education in the mercantile business. In 1860, he moved to Saint Joseph, where he clerked for two years. He then joined a party of young men on their way to California, then known as the Golden State. Upon arriving at Fort Hall, their route changed, and they ended up in Oregon.
In 1863, Brassfield moved to Harrisburg, where he was employed by Judge Hiram Smith, a pioneer of 1853, and one year later he was admitted as a partner under the firm of Smith & Brassfield.
January 1, 1865, he married Lydia Owens, a native of Kansas and a daughter of Col. Henry Owens, of Topeka, in Harrisburg, Kansas, January 1, 1865. The couple had five children: Arthur S., Hiram, Thomas, W. R., Frank O. and Sadie.
The firm of Smith & Brassfield continued for ten years, after which the Brassfields sold out and started a store in Junction City where they did business until 1881.
In 1887, Lydia and James Brassfield sold out again and moved to Yaquina Bay where they opened a general store. They purchased the well known Seal Rock property—one of the most delightful places on the Pacific Coast—and filed a plat map showing their holdings divided into 600 lots.
In 1885, historian David Fagan wrote that the place, together with a large tract of land adjoining,

was then the property of James W. Brassfield, a merchant of Newport, who erected a fine residence near the beach and a short distance south of Seal Rock, where his family in the summer months resided and enjoyed the beauties of nature and the ceaseless roar of the surf, which at this place is truly magnificent; and, fortunate indeed is he who is permitted to enjoy the hospitality of the Brassfields. At this point are shell beds, indicating that it had been the home of the Coastal Indians for generations, as the beds are numerous and range in depth of one to six feet.

Three entire blocks were dedicated for hotel construction. A year later, two additions to Seal Rocks Resort were mapped.
The couple managed to build a hotel and sell a few lots before getting into financial trouble. Many of their lots were deeded to a Portland creditor. Of the few lots they sold, most were abandoned by their purchasers and sold at auction by the county for as little as $9 a piece.
The post office was established April 25, 1890, with Brassfield postmaster. Now a community post office out of Waldport, Seal Rock is on US-101, the Oregon Coast Highway. It was named for the several smaller rocks, but is called Seal Rock for the one large rock at the shoreline.
In the past, a pedestrian-friendly community with well-organized streets, parks, and public gathering places was, for the most part, a sales pitch. The vision of developers is being rekindled in many Lincoln County communities, and people are now actively working to make such improvements a reality.
Today, the chainsaw sculptures of Ray Kowalski and Brian McEneny are featured prominently at Seal Rock.
