Oregon Daily Statesman January 20,1870
Passing away-We have news by private dispatch of the death of two more of 
Oregons pioneers.Captain John H Couch,well known to all old settlers ,died at 
his residence inPortland.The Captain was in Oreogn in 1832,when he conducted a 
vessel under his command over the Columbia bar and up the river.When Oregon 
was opened for settlement,he was one of the first to make his home in this 
country,and since has lent a hand in many a project of improvement.A retired 
son of Neptune,he retained the bluff and hearty ways of an old salt to the 
last,and will be remembered as a man with his heart in hand
Hiram Smith,who died in San Francisco on Monday last,came to Oregon in 
1845,returned to the East in '46,and came out again in '51,in company with 
several persons who are now residents of Salem.Among them ,we are informed,was 
Hon.E.N. Cooke,State Treasurer,himself a relative of Mr Smith.He made several 
trips "to the states" and back,and was instrumental in bringing out a great 
many citizens of our State.
