Notes thanks to Connee Landers McCasland:

About 1870, after being orphaned, went to stay with a widow named SallyHale. Moved to Wallowa County, Orgeon, in 1909.

From cousin Doris Edwards:

Grandpa was probably about three years old when his father, Elijah, diedof gangrene. No one knows how he got the wound. Elisa then hired a man totake her and the kids in a wagon from near Springfield in Dent County toIron Mountian, Missouri. The wagon got stuck in a creek and the man shehad hired to drive got mad and left her. They huddled under the bank ofthe river and a man came by the next day and took them to his place.Elisa died shortly after. There was a family of seven boys and two girls,whose names were unknown, who died when they were quite young. I had avolunteer look in Washington County for cemetery records for Landers, buthe didn't find anything. They probably didn't have headstones. The boyshad to separate and go live with different families after the death oftheir mother.

Again, from Doris after asking why Grandpa Landers moved to Oregon:

I don't really know, but I'll tell you what Paul Landers told us thatGrandpa had told him. After Benjamin and Mary Turnbull were married hewent to work on a farm for $25 per month and a house in which to live.They later rented a farm for several years. Then they moved to Irondalewhere Benjamin went back to work in the mines. Mary died soon after, onthe 25th of June, 1908, at the age of 37, after giving Benjamin sevenchildren, six boys and a girl.

Later Benjamin married Sara Katherine Brooks (Smith). Benjamin, hisoldest son John, John's wife Essie, and their son Paul headed west andsettled in Powatka, Oregon. Benjamin then sent for Sara, three more ofhis boys, George, William (Emmett), and Jesse (Edward). His only daughterhad died earlier at the age of four while he and Mary were stilltogether. He also sent for one of Sara's children. Traveling from Wallowato Powatka meant fifteen miles by wagon or, in the winter, by sled.

Benjamin went to work for Mr. Downerd for $40 per month, including ahouse and a cow for milk. He later rented the place from Downerd andlived there for several years. He then leased a farm in the foothillsoutside of Wallowa, where he worked on the railroad, in the mill, and onseveral farms in the area.

On the 27th of September (about 1927) Benjamin and Sara moved to southernOregon, where his youngest son Clifford lived. His son George andGeorge's wife Marjorie and their daughter Auline, who was then ten yearsold, accompanied them. Also accompanying them was Benjamin's son, JesseEdward, and his wife Nancy. Marjorie died soon after their arrival insouthern Oregon at the age of thirty. Four years later, George marriedEthel Mae Hylton (Wakefield).
