In 1846 the Crowley family arrived in the valley with the first wagon train over the Applegate Trail. Martha Leland Crowley, a daughter, died of typhoid fever at age 16 and was buried here in a casket made from timber boards taken from storage boxes on the wagons. Because her grave was so near the creek, the creek received its name.
