Allen Hash
Allen Hash was born in Virginia in 1819. He and his wife Elizabeth were living in Shedd, Oregon when their daughter Arminta was born in 1855. They were in Missouri when their daughter Martha Ann was born in 1847. When Arminta was about 15 years old they came East of the Cascade Mountains and settled on Coon Creek in the Grizzly area of Wasco County (later Crook and then Jefferson County).
Allen, also called John by his family, and Elizabeth raised a family of five girls: Jane Huston, Martha Ann Strait, Arminta Evans, Etta Chitwood and Mary Ellen Garrett.
By 1900 Allen and Elizabeth were probably divorced. Elizabeth was living with Jeff D. Evans family in McKay Precinct in Crook County and Allen was living in the Haystack Precinct in Crook County. Their daughters Mary Allen, wife of James Harlan Garrett, and Etta, wife of Pleasant Chitwood, were both deceased.
In 1907 Allen made his will. He left Arminta and Jane $1.00 each and his daughter Martha Ann was to receive the remainder of his estate. The children of Etta and Mary Ellen petitioned the Court to get their mother's share of the Estate.
Martha Ann Strait appears in the 1910 Crook County Census and was either divorced or widowed.
Allen died March 4, 1908 and is buried in the Gray Butte Cemetery. He left an estate but did not have a grave stone ... only a small grave marker that said only "Alln Hash".

ALLEN HASH FOUND DEAD IN HIS CABIN
Aged Pioneer Dies Alone at Mining Camp Near Hay Creek
The body of Allen Hash, one of the pioneer settlers on Willow Creek, was found in his mining camp on Hay Creek last Wednesday by a boy who carried his supplies. The old man lived at the camp alone and on the last trip of the young man who carried his supplies, a week or more prior to the day the body was found, he had complained of having a bad cold and a touch of the grippe. He was not feeling badly enough, however, to go out to one of the neighboring ranches, and said he thought he would be all right in a day or so. When the boy returned on his next trip, he found the body, Mr. Hash having been dead for several days.
Mr. Hash was one of the oldest settlers of the Willow Creek country, and was 93 years old at the time of his death. He was the father of the late Mrs. J. H. Garrett of Cross Keys. The body was interred in Grey Butte cemetery last Friday.
