CHEUVRONT FAMILY

Another pioneer on Left Fork of Sandy was Isaac Cheuvront, who came to Jackson County in 1831. He lived at a little village long known as Buttermilk Station, a name bestowed on it when it was a logging camp and sawmill site, about 1870. When the timber had "fled the country", and an oak or poplar tree had become a curiosity, the name remained , and the name of "Buttermilk" is even now far better known than the more dignified one of Lockhart.

Isaac Cheuvront was born August 24th, 1802, and died March 22nd, 1896, aged ninety three years.
