Oden When the caravan got to Salt Lave City, some of the group stopped and at Boise, Idaho, the party split, part going south to California and the rest into “Oregon and Washington. Mr. Oden went on to the coast, then came back ‘to Klamath county and homesteaded a place at Dairy, where they raised their family. In 1930 Hamilton Oden went to live with his son, Waid Oden, and family in Reno.
