In 1868, William Milton and Narvesta Steen, with the help of a hired boy, drove 500 sheep from Salem Oregon across the Cascade Mountains to Walla Walla in search of a home and fortune. They selected a location on Dry Creek where there was summer water for livestock, and a promising strip of land between the creek and the hills that appeared to be suitable for farming. The property with a log cabin on it was purchased in 1867 from "Billie" Winn, and the start of the Steen ranches was made. The sheep were winter-pastured on the bunch grass hills between Dry Creek and Pine Creek and taken to Mountain Meadows in the summer. This operation continued until someone found that wheat could be raised on the dry hills. Then the sheep were sold and wheat raising became the major farm enterprise. A spur line railroad was built to Blue Mountain Station from Walla Walla in 1880. A stage station was set up at the end of the rails, and much wheat was delivered by team and wagon to be loaded and shipped.

Will Steen recalls seeing one 16-mule and 4-wagon outfit coming from beyond Weston.

William M. and Narvesta were the parents of seven children: Frank B., Claude W., William H., Jessie May (Adam Rothrock), Ralph C., Grant G. and Grace G. (Hugh Murray). To the Murray’s six children were born: Howard, Mildred, Martha, Donald and Marion and Bob (Twins). William H. Steen married Beryl Barnes. Their two children were Eva Steen Shannon and Lowell Steen.

Mr. Steen was born October 11, 1915 in Milton Ore. He graduated from Oregon State University and was married to Kathleen Phillips Steen for over 50 years until her death in 1987.

He was the descendent of a pioneer family who homesteaded in Milton-Freewater area in the 1850's. Mr. Steen farmed the family land with his father, raising cattle, wheat and peas. He was one of the founders of Key Equipment Company, now Key Technology, and Umatilla Canning Company.

Mr. Steen was a pilot and co-founded Steen Flying Service early in World War II, to train pilots for the Army Air Corps. He was active in the Republican Party and represented Umatilla County in the Oregon State Senate in 1951-56. He also served as President of the Oregon State Farm Bureau. In the 1960's he was appointed to the Governor's Planning and Development Commission and was Chairman of the Oregon State Board of Parole and Probation.

Following his move to Lake Oswego in 1964, he worked as Field Administrator for the Oregon Synod of the Presbyterian Church. He was an active supporter of Lewis and Clark College and was a life trustee of college. He also received an honorary doctorate from Clarke College in Dubuque.

He was married to Charlotte Gamble Steen for seven years until her death in 1994.

At the time of his death Mr. Steen was owner of a real estate brokerage firm specializing in ranch properties, and a member of the board of Security National Life Insurance Company.

Survivors include his wife Carol Starr Steen of Portland; daughter Nancy Lieuallen of Tigard; son Bill Steen of Waldport, and daughter and son-in-law Patricia and Duane Iverson of Lake Oswego; six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son Dennis.
