Samuel N Medaris 
Samuel was born about 1845 in Indiana. Samuel's father was Ithamer Thomas Redmond Medaris and his mother was Elizabeth Stone. His paternal grandparents were James Davis Medaris and Levisa King. He had two brothers and five sisters, named William, Rufus, Mary, Francis, Indiana, Elizabeth and Merty. He was the fourth oldest of the eight children. He died in 1922 in Oregon.General Notes
Samuel moved to Oregon sometime before 1908. Samuel was apparently employed by the Forest Service in 1908 and was part of a tree planting group. Samuel's grave is along a remote mountain road in the Coast Range of Oregon. It is located just west of his son, Lyman's grave (about 6 miles). Samuel's grave is located on Tenmile Creek which empties into the Pacific Ocean about 10 miles south of Yachats. His grave is marked by a pile of stones and a wood marker. The marker has the following information:
S N A Medaris
Died 1922
The grave is surrounded by a wood fence, put there in recent years. It sits 7.5 miles up from Highway 101 on Ten Mile Creek road. This is the area that Samuel was living in at the time of Lyman's death. I suspect that the grave is on or close to land that Samuel homesteaded. There are no homes close by at the present time. It is, however, a beautiful spot up in the coast hills.
