BIOGRAPHICAL (Source - Clark, pgs 276-77)
One of the energetic and successful farmers of Marion county is Clinton Tracy, who by persistent and well directed efforts has gained a high standing among the agriculturists of this locality. Mr. Tracy was born in Noble county, Ohio, on the 28th of September, 1949, and is a son of Bazzle and Elizabeth (McCann) Tracy, also natives of the Buckeye state. In 1851 the family moved to Missouri, where the father bought a ranch, on which they lived five years, and in 1857 they went to Iowa, where they lived until 1864. In that year they crossed the plains, with ox teams and covered wagons, reaching Oregon in October and spent their first winter in Grand Round [sic] valley. In June, 1865, they came to Marion county, where the father rented a farm near Gervais, on which they lived one year and then came to West Stayton, where he leased the George Neal ranch for one year. During the following two years he leased the Calvin Neal ranch, and in 1869 bought two hundred acres of land near Independence, Polk county, where he lived about five years. Selling that place, he bought a band of sheep, which he drove to eastern Oregon, and there spent most of his remaining years, coming back to Marion county shortly prior to his death, which occurred in 1898 [sic]. The mother died in 1874. They were the parents of five children, namely: Benton and Clinton, twins, the former now deceased; Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Edgar, who was born in Ohio and now lives in eastern Oregon; James, who was born in Missouri and now owns a ranch at Marion, Oregon; and Thomas who was born in Iowa.
