  I can of course provide a better, high resolution picture if you want to, preferably by mail.
  
  So far I have noted this about the picture:
  
  I am not sure where this is, but it may be in Clallam County, west of Seattle. These «Reduced rates to Seattle» as the banner mentiones are probably boat tickets. There was a railroad in Clallam Co as early as 1907, but the term «roundtrip» indicates that this is about a boat trip.
  
  Sign: «PORT ANGELES SUITS US – CLALLAM GRAIN CO. - HAY, GRAIN, FLOUR, ..EED». It may therefore be in the county seat of Clallam County, Port Angeles.
  

• Re: Is this a picture from Port Angeles?

  Is it a sign for "Hotel Pershing" there left of the damaged part of the picture?

  When did the port of entry eventually return from Port Townsend to Port Angeles and how did that come about ?
  Thanks -
  Birgit

• Re: Port of Entry
• Posted: 2012-01-19 09:34:03 PST By Kathy Monds
• Hi Birgit:
  If you are able to get a copy of Port Angeles, Washington: A History by Martin & Brady, it has detailed information about Victor Smith's extensive plan to have the Port of Entry moved from Port Townsend to Port Angeles.
  Smith corresponded with Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, for months about moving the Port of Entry. Smith went to Washington, D.C. in May of 1862 to further press his case. On June 18, subsequent to the Senate Commerce Committee's strong recommendation, the U.S. Congress enacted legislation transferring the Port of Entry from Port Townsend to Port Angeles. The Customs House was oficially moved to Port Angeles on September 30.
  The Customs House was returned to Port Townsend in September 1866.
  Hope this helps!

  My Great Grandfather Charlie Kemp was the Sheriff of Clallam County for two terms. I am looking for photographs, news clippings, or anything related to him, his wife Iva, or their grandchildren Diane and her brother Charlies
  
  The time would be from like 1940-1963 when he died.
  
  My mother had passed on down to her a lovely scrap book but sadly it was stolen and I am attempting to reconstruct this for her as it was incredibly important to her and our family.

  Yours is the second request for this information, although yours includes a longer time period.
  Please e-mail me directly at artifact@olypen.com.
  
  We do have information and photos about Sheriff Kemp. We also have all the bound newspapers through 1964. However, they are not indexed, so a review of them would take a lot of time.

• Lenora Lillian Bankson and Westfal County Home
• Posted: 2011-12-27 16:16:28 PST By Mary A. Haynes
• I now have my grandmother's death certificate. She died at the Westfal or Westful County Home In April of 1940, in Port Angeles. Are there any record regarding a county home? I can't find anything on-line. I would think many more died of Tuberculosis after Camp David became Camp David and not a sanitarium.

• Re: Lenora Lillian Bankson and Westfal County Home
• Posted: 2011-12-28 08:52:54 PST By Kathy Monds
• Hi Mary:
  We are still working on your previous query about how tuberculosis was viewed. There should be a response later today.
  Your query about the Westphal Home is easy. This response is from Port Angeles, Washington: A History by Paul Martin and Peggy Brady Norris.
  
  Hans (Henry) Westphal died August 20, 1902, leaving land (on Mount Angeles Road) and money for a home for the indigent. With additional money provided by County Commissioners, the Westphal Home was erected in 1904 and provided more than 60 years of service to the Port Angeles community. During the 1920s, it carried the unfortunate nickname "Pest House," when it served as a haven for patients with tuberculosis and other contagious diseases. Later, it was known as the County Poor Farm, and still later as the Port Angeles Nursing Home. The building was razed in 1966.
  
  Hope this answers your question.

• Hi again, Mary:
  We have records from the Clallam County Health Department, and the following information is from their annual reports and scrapbooks of news articles.
  
  1936 - 27 cases registered. Some sent to a place called Laurel Beach and others to the County-run tuberculosis sanitarium (we assume Westphal, but a name is not mentioned)
  
  1937 - 16 new cases found and 15 cases received sanitarium care
  
  1940 - 30 reported cases
  
  From 1934-1939, the average number of deaths in Clallam County per year was 14
  1940 was a peak year with 24 deaths
  1941 had 12 deaths
  By 1943, 18 people were hospitalized but there was only 1 reported death
  
  Regular "chest clinics" were offered by the State Department of Health every 2 months. Only x-ray equipment that had been certified by the State could be used. It was noted that the cooperation of the Indian Service in reservations areas was greatly appreciated and invaluable.
  
  The Clallam County Tuberculosis Association sponsore essay contents in the local schools.
  
  We hope this helps. If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to ask.
  Thanks so much for your query!

• Re: Blue Mountain School

• Dear Kristen,
  I am a volunteer for the Historical Society, and in my studies of the area I have spent a lot of time at the school house. I do believe that there are spirits there, but I don't like the word haunted to describe it. I have taken pictures where a mist has appeared and then in the following picture there is nothing, sounds of kids whispering, and in the cemetery behind the school I once saw a spirit in a white Victorian-style dress and hat who quickly darted into the woods. Many of the gatherings the settlers had took place at the school house, so I do personally believe there are residual "hauntings", but there doesn't appear to be anything negative there. I hope this answers your question.

• Is there any rammed earth structure from the 1920s or 30s built by or according to the instructions of Karl Ellington still standing in your area? Rammed earth (Terre de Pise) is difficult to identify because it looks like cast concrete. It is not adobe but raw dirt (loam) that is compacted in removable forms. The exterior must be protected from water so the exterior is usually painted or stuccoed. Ellington, a Swede, seems to have lived in Port Angeles. Any information or source would be appreciated.

• Hi Erendira:
  
  Here are two legends/stories.
  
  A sea serpent, Edizgigantis, is said to have made appearances in the waters inside Ediz Hook in the 1930s. A story in the January 18, 1934 Port Angeles Evening News said 15- 20 men saw something alive in those waters. They described it as 10-15 feet long and 5-6 fee wide with a head like an alligator. Mill workers reported seeing in again on April 6, 1934.
  
  Lady of the Lake: Hallie Illingworth disappeared in December 1937. Her body floated to the surface of Lake Crescent and was discovered July 6, 1940. Her body had saponified--or turned to soap. "The lake has strong alkalis which work on the fatty substance of the flesh and, with a purely chemical reaction, turned the body into soap."
  It was determined that her husband had murdered her.
  
  Hope these are helpful.

• Greetings,
  I am an Urban and Regional Planning master’s student at Eastern Washington University writing a thesis on the effects of federal and state policy on the timber and logging industries of the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, I'm interested in the milling and wood products industry: when and where the mills were and are, if they still exist or when they shut down, the amount of board feet or other product they produce/d annually, and how many people these mills were able to employ. Information on this subject is sparse in more widely published literature, especially when dealing with pre-1950's forestry operations. I would love to start a dialogue with you, and hope that you may have some resources, references (talking to someone on the phone about their own understanding of history in Clallam County is also an option) or information that would be helpful in my pursuit of mapping and publishing this information.
  
  Sincerely,

I have also seen title papers stating he was owner of "jump claim" but they have been mislaid.

  The 1890 sale is a different issue. It was called "Jumping the Reserve" as a Squatters Association was formed to claim land that had been tied up when Port Angeles was declared a Military and Naval Reserve.

• Hi Fred:
  We do not have copies of the Jimmy Come Lately newspapers, but the Sequim Gazette does have the bound issues. We would be happy to go look through them, but it can't be until after our garage sale which is the first two weekends in September.
  Also, you say about 1978. Do you have a more specific date?
  Please let us know how to proceed.

• I need some historical info from 1917 thru 1936
• Posted: 2011-08-07 18:57:06 PDT By Bret Ticehurst
• My Father was born and lived in Port Angeles. As far as I know they lived on Peabody street, My Grandparents Names were James and Amy Ticehurst, my Father James, his brother William and sister Ruth.
  
  Now my Dad left us a set of tapes of his adventures growing up (some really cool stories).
  He had planned on writing a book but pasted before doing so now I find myself filling in the blanks and whould be very greatful if I could gather the info to make his story as accurate as possible.
  
  I am going to be intereseted in dates the weather, schools, teachers. The paper mill(which if I understand right my uncle owned or ran) The elwa dam I understand he also had something to do with building or designing.
  
  The years during the depression which seemed to mold a lot of my Fathers quirks and superstitions. He worked in the CC camps, Then had a charter boat in Nea bay. His life long Friend Gorden Mathews had a tackle shop into the 70's or longer, but I'm not sure how long. He and his wife (I believe her name was Elsie)I am sure lived in PA there entire lives.
  
  My Grandmother died tragically in the house on peabody on jan 25 1936. My Dad didn't go into much detail about it, ut I am pretty sure she was electrocuted.
  
  I am not sure if you are the right ave to this info, I am sure that the book will be an outstanding historical read when I am done. The city of PA has a great story and my father had a lot of great stories I made him tell over and over, so I hope we can work on this together.
  
  Thank you Bret Ticehurst

• Hi Bret:
  We found some information about the Ticehurst family through their obituaries.
  Yes, your grandmother Amy died at age 50 from electric shock; a wire came in contact with the bathtub. Their home was at 11th and Albert.
  Gordon Matthews was a logger for a number of years and then opened Gordy's Herring & Tackle; he died in 1995. His first wife's name was Joyce.
  We have a lot of information about that time period, but we would have to have some very specific questions to answer. There were a number of mills in town and also several CC camps.
  See if you can get a copy of Port Angeles, Washington: A History by Paul Martin and Peggy Brady. It has a lot of good information and photos. Maybe you could get an inter-library loan.
  Please let us know how to proceed.

• My family has extensive Lake Crescent history. Supposedly my Great Grandmother Mary Laeger Hansen was the first white woman to homestead Lake Crescent and my Great Aunt Crescentina Hansen was the first white baby born on the lake. The story has come down from my Grandmother, who was there, that at the Health Spa, Qui Si Sana the statute of the Goddess Hygeia (sp) was posed for by my Great Aunt Crescentina. She is the one standing with the torch. Is there any way to confirm this?

• Hi Leanne:
  Accounts in Jimmy Come Lately refer to your great grandmother Mary Hanson being the first white woman to live on Lake Crescent and all six children of Mary & John were born on Lake Crescent.
  The obituary for Crescentina (referred to as Christina in the obit), says she died on December 25, 1911, after being ill for a year.
  Jimmy Come Lately and an article in Pacific Northwest Quarterly, "Qui Si Sana, Finding Health on Lake Crescent," both state that it was Meah who was the model for Hygeia, "a maiden in the full bloom of health."
  Hope this is of some help. We have further information on members of the family, but we don't know how much more you might like have.

• Hello all.
  I am searching for what i belive to be an ancestor with family that set of from here Helsingborg (Sweden).
  
  His name was Peter Grubb, born 1856 and arrived in the US around 1880. He was married to a woman named Betsie and they had 2 children what i know of named Annie T and Fredrik P. Any help would be appreciated.

• Re: Questions about an ancestor from Sweden
• Posted: 2011-07-25 15:44:58 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hello Gengt:
  We just love it when we are able to find information about our query subjects!
  According to Jimmy Come Lately and Mr. Grubb's obituary, Peter Grubb was born on March 26, 1855, in Sweden. In 1905, he operated a small lumber mill at the Elwha Bottoms, but his main business was as a hotel operator. Her operated the Merchant's Hotel and then owned and operated the Commercial Hotel. In 1910, he purchased a 4-cylinder Cadillac to be used in conjunction with his hotel work. He also had a contract with the Stanley Steamer Company to run a daily auto stage between Port Angeles and Lakes Sutherland and Crescent in 1910.
  He came to Seattle in 1883; his obit says he came to Port Angeles in 1890--another source says 1893.
  Peter was a charter member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and was a city councilman.
  Peter died onSeptember 2, 1943.
  Peter's wife Betsy died in 1945 in Delaware where their daughter Anna Theresa was living.
  Son Fred was born in 1887 and died unexpectedly on February 22, 1920 from the influenza. Fred's wife Lucy Bayton was a teacher and superintendent of schools. She died February 13, 1978.
  Hope all this is of assistance. If there are any other specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

  I'm a fiction writer and I'm working on a novel that will be based in 1920s Port Angeles. I've heard some old family stories of men using boats to transport booze from Canada into P.A. Do you have any information about such activity or was it too hush-hush to make it into the history files?

• Hello and thanks in advance, ladies!
  I am in the midst of a home remodel of our mid-1930's built home here in PA . My builder has unearthed lots of lumber bearing the stamp "J.L.Epperson Lumber Yard".Looks like that is where all of the lumber came from to build this place we call home. I have googled 'JL' *think his first name was James or Jim* and found a tiny bit, but would appreciate anything else you can tell me about him. I was also told that the man who built our home was the first president of what is now Peninsula College. I know he also built a house in the Cherry Hill neighborhood. If you could find out his name, I would love it!
  Kathy--I don't know if you remember me, but I am Katie Gruver's mom.

  Of course, I remember you. Jessie and Katie spent a lot of time together, and Jessie always had nice things to say about you and your family.
  
  James Allen Epperson died at age 76 in 1936. He came to Port Angeles in 1906 and learned the business of cabinetmaker and contractor. In 1917, he started the J.A. Epperson & Sons sash and door factory. His sons took over the business and ran it until selling to Nailor Lumber Company.
  
  Epperson's son Fred became mayor of Port Angeles after selling the business.
  
  John Maier was the first president of Peninsula College. In 1962, his residence is listed as 505 East Vashon Avenue.

  On a recent visit to the Joyce Museum I saw a photocopy of a map(s) of the region from the Elwha to Majestic which was labeled "1913 survey of Clallam County. The map was a wonderful source of information on old railroad roadbeds (pre Spruce Tree Railroad) old roads, and areas which had been already "logged and burned" by that time. Is there a way I can get a copy (preferably digital) of this map? Does the Historical Society have a copy? If one exists but is not digitized, could I cause that to happen?

• What was Charles Barnes' geographical description of the Olympic Mountains?

• Re: Charles Barnes
• Posted: 2011-05-23 14:11:28 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Deborah:
  This is from Exploring the Olympic Mountains compiled by Carsten Lien. It is from Chapter Four. Geology and Natural History, Observations Made by the Press Explorers.
  
  "The most striking geological characteristic of the Olympic mountains is the newness of their upheaval This fact is evident on every hand. The sharp, jagged ranges, their unworn sides, the eater courses, the cascades and many other features all indicate that these mountains are the youngest of the American family of mountains.
  The vertical stratification gives an extremely sharp outline to the ranges. Many of them have an outline like the teeth of a saw. From this saw-tooth edge there are frequently sheer perpendicular precipices of from 1000 to 2000 feet of naked rock. Where the sides are less precipitous they are torn and broken beyond description. The effects of frost, and the wearing of the elements is conspicuously absent, indicating recent upheaval. The beds of the streams, even of the larger ones are but little worn. Deep canyons are frequent on the rivers, but these are fissures which the streams have followed and washed out.
  In an old upheaval, or even in one comparatively recent composed of strata so nearly on edge, but few or no cascades would be expected. Yet in these mountains cascades are frequent, many of them plunging over soft slate rocks. The three illustrations given of waterfalls are all of this character. A recent geological period must therefore be assigned to the making of these mountains."
  
  We hope this information is of help.

  Your query brought back many memories. My daughter was a student at Miriam's for a few years in the 80s.
  Miriam grew up and studied dance in Chicago. She opened her studio in Port Angeles in 1960 and taught until her retirement (at age 80) in 1987.
  The first Miriam's School of Dance was located at 922 East 4th Street. In 1972, she was at 206 East Front Street; in 1973, she moved to 118 1/2 East Front, and that is where she stayed until retirement.
  Miriam died at age 89 on July 14, 1997. Her obituary states that her family requests, "Remember Miriam by planting a rose, her favorite flower."

• Gas Explosion
• Posted: 2011-04-27 08:24:18 PDT By Douglas Pearman
• I'm a Port Angeles native, PAHS and Peninsula college grad, living in Woodinville.
  
  I'm trying to find some details of the downtown gas explosion (I believe it was a failed propane distribution line) that happened sometime in the late 1960's. The building at the northeast corner of First and Laurel (now a parking lot) was destroyed.
  
  Any chance you could dig up some news stories about the event and send them via e-mail? I'm looking mainly for the date, cause, damages caused, and any injuries or casualties.

• Hi Douglas:
  Our research librarian relates that there were two fires/explosions downtown.
  In 1965, there was a fire at the Aldwell building at First and Laurel. The fire started in the kitchen grease duct and went up between the floors. When it got to the second floor, it caved into the center. (Port Angeles Evening News, Dec. 15, 1965)
  On October 1, 1971, Haguewood's Cafe and Olympus Hotel exploded. The cause of the explosion was two large commercial size hot water tanks were fed by the main gas line. The 3-4 inch line went under the sidewak along the building and into the basement of the hotel. The gas company increased pressure on the line by 3%. The old line had corroded and the pressure was more than the line could handle. The building did not burn. 38 people were injured; one woman lost her leg and one man died.
  Hope this helps to answer your question.

• 1887
• Posted: 2011-04-23 15:16:37 PDT By John Liscano
• Dear Librarian,
  
  My entire family history for the 19th century is located in and around Missouri. However, somewhere in the late 1880s my great great grandfather relocates to Clallam County with with new bride. I can seem to figure out any other information on what type of work or even for how long he might have lived there. His name is Sherman Anderson, wife named Annie. Any information you might be able to uncover would be immensely helpful. Thank you for your valuable time.

• Re: 1887
• Posted: 2011-05-23 14:20:24 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi John:
  I wish we were able to better assist you. The only mention of Sherman and Annie Anderson is that they were living at Port Crescent in 1887.
  They are not listed in the census or pioneer files for that time period.
  The only information on ancestry.com was from the 1880 Census for Haw Creek, Morgan, Missouri. There he is listed as being 15 years old and working on a farm.
  We will keep your request on file; and if anything else comes to light, we will let you know.

• I have a photograph of PA town leaders, including my grandfather and grandmother (Fred and Nellie Epperson), standing in front of a new DC-3 airplane on the day when West Coast Airlines first flew into PA. Are there other photos available of this event? I'd be happy to share my photo with you and I'd really enjoy knowing who else was in the photo. My grandfather was PA mayor at the time and he served from 1945 through 1948. I also have a friend who loves DC-3s and would love to know what the tail number was on the DC-3 that flew in and out of PA. I have other photos from the 30's, 40's taken in PA that I'd like to also share.

• Re: Written History of Pysht, Washington?
• Posted: 2011-04-04 15:36:34 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Stephen:
  What an interesting query! Your family names are well-known in the county.
  
  We are not aware of a history of Pysht written by Mildred, but we have a copy of her story about Amand Stange and a run-in he had with a man by the name of Pat Carrigan.
  The Gus referred to in the letter was Amand and Margaretha Stange's son Gustave. Gus was killed by a logging truck in July 1977.
  
  Gertrude Fernandes, Hedvig and Joseph Stange's daughter, wrote about Pysht for a book the Historical Society published called Jimmy Come Lately. While the book is no longer in print, we have a copy of the original manuscript she wrote for the book.
  
  We are following one other lead and will let you know if it comes back with something of interest.
  
  Also, Jimmy Come Lately says that Otto and Maggie Pontine had a post office and school at their home. According to Postmarked Washington, Margaret Pontine was given the postmaster commission on June 29, 1902. John Green was named as the postmaster on May 15, 1905.

  Thanks

• Re: GG
• Posted: 2011-04-04 14:46:50 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Lynn:
  In the winter 1990 issue of Strait History, a publication of the Clallam County Historical Society, Florence Gehrke Johnson wrote about her childhood growing up in Port Angeles. Christian and Christina Lollick were her grandparents.
  
  "Christian and Christina Lollick, my grandparents, came to Port Angeles from Portland in 1887. They first lived down on the beach near the present site of the Bayshore Inn. Their neighbors were Indians with canoes lined up along the beach for trips to Seattle and Victoria. In later years, my grandparents moved up on land on the Elwha, now camp Elwha in the Olympic National Park. Their nighbors were (Doc) Ludden, the beekeeper; Griffin, owner of the first sawmill; (Bert) Herrick, owner of Herrick's Store; (Harry) Coventon and (Dewey) Sisson. Most all were farmers, and their only means of travel was by horse and trail, but shank's mare was used mostly. Their farm was called Lollick's Bottom. Grandmother was a midwife, walking to Port Angeles to bring babies into the world. She would take the Black Diamond Road from Little River, down Pine Hill into first valley, then up again to Tenth and Oak, our home. One day, as she was leaving to go home, the sky looked threatening and mother tried to keep her for the night. But, with lots of pioneer spirit she said, "No, I must go home to your father. I'll be all right." She ran into a snow blizzard before she got to the Elwha and it blinded her as she struggled on and on. Exhausted and lost, she fell down and was content to lie there and die when she felt something under her hand--it was a cabbage head under the snow. She knew then she was near a house, and it was her own back yard."
  
  We can continue to look some more, but we thought you would enjoy this bit of information.
  
  Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  Are you interested in just the building or the Elwha Theatre itself?
  We have some vertical file material about the theatre. A February 6, 1931, news item announced the building of the theatre and it opened on June 9, 1931. The first feature was "Cracked Nuts," a Wheeler-Woolsey comedy.
  I was not able to find a photo of the theatre in our photo archives, but there is a photo of it in Tum Tums from the early 50s.
  Please let me know if this is the info you are looking for or if you are more interested in the building itself.

  We found 8 (I think) of the original lights still installed above the false ceiling. Randy took one down and rewired it and it works! All of the lights are missing the shades (like the one you showed us). It is our hope to use at least 5 of the fixtures in parts of the building but we need to re-create the shades.

We were hoping to stop by today if that works for you. We are still not quite sure what our plan is for recreating it, but having the measurements will allow me to research further.
  
  I will call before we show up and confirm this works for you.

• Aircraft Warning Service Observation Tower in Agnew

• Hi,
  
  I am planning a visit to Washington in the summer and plan to take a few days to see Clallam County. I am bringing my father with me from the UK and he has an avid interest in aviation, especially military planes and buildings.
  
  I was hoping to take in a few sites relating to this and found the 'Aircraft Warning Service Observation Tower' in Agnew on the National Register of Historic places.
  
  I have searched high and low for information online on the tower but can't find any history of the installation, not even a photograph! Unfortunately, being on the wrong side of the Atlantic this is all I can do. I'm aware that the site is private and we would not be allowed to enter the building itself but I would like to drive past and give my dad some details on it.
  
  Any information on the site at all on it's history, facts and figures, or even a photograph would be much appreciated.
  
  Thanks in advance, and sorry for the length of the request!

• Hi Paul:
  I hope you will let us know when you are in Clallam County this summer. Perhaps we could "dig up" some other information about World War II's impact on the County. There was quite a bit of activity because of our strategic coast line setting.
  I found a bit of information about the tower for you. I will check out its location and accessibility later.
  According to historical Harriet Fish, the tower was located at the southeast corner of Kitchen Road and the Old Olympic Highway. "...it was located here by the patriotism of the late Jean Cook and some 300 volunteers climbed the stairs to man a 24-hour watch, day in and day out for several years, while Jean herself assumed the chief observer's post for this Agnew-Carlsborg, Dungeness defense post."
  I will look for a photo, but at the moment all I find is a sketch made by Harriet.
  Please direct further inquiries directly to artifact@olypen.com.
  I hope this is of some help; and as I said, we could provide more information about WWII activities if requested.

• Hi John:
  I find no descendants. Lathan and Martha had one daughter, Daisy. Daisy and her husband Clarence Brown had two children: a daughter Dorothy and a son Stewart. Dorothy never married. Stewart married a woman named Daisy, but his obituary did not mention any children.
  Hope this helps!

• Posted: 2010-12-06 13:17:18 PST By sandie barnhart
• I am looking for early photo(s) of a house at the corner of W. 10th and Oak Streets in Port Angeles. It is directly west of Queen of Angeles School. It was constructed in the mid-1920s, just prior to the time the school was constructed. The address is 202 W. 10th. Just curious if you might have any photos of it or photos of the school or Catholic Church that might also show the house. Will appreciate any help you can provide.

• I am trying to get a photo taken by George Ellis of La poel Camp on lake Crescent. I think Mr Ellis used his photographs for post cards. The photo has a number Ellis 3326. I pulled a copy of a site
  craigmagnuson.com. I need a copy with highest resolution possible as I want to enlarge the image.
  If it is not possible to obtain this image, are there any other images of the La poel camp circa1920-1940?

• Hi Bryan:
  We have a photo of John Elwood Beam (it was taken in Olympia). Our normal charge to scan a photo is $20, but we provide the service to family members for $10 per scan.
  We have been unable to find any photos of Judge Filion, but we do have a newpaper article from January 12, 1963, when he retired. The photo with the article is grainy, but it is the best we have.
  Please contact me directly at artifact@olypen.com if you would like the Beam photo scanned and a copy of the newpaper article ($1.00).

• Homestead dates
• Posted: 2010-11-08 15:42:54 PST By Lucy Carey
• I wish to find the date that my grandfather, Samuel Woodcock, filed his homestead claim in Clallam County. The claim might have been made with his brother, George, too. The property was located along the west side of the Dungeness between what is now Woodcock Rd., Cays Rd., and Old Olympic Hwy. I believe it was in the 1890s but have been unable to find any reference to it online.
  Thanks!

  Your family is listed in the Sequim Pioneer Family History book on pages 270-271. Samuel came to this area in 1889.

• Chinaman's Cave
• Posted: 2010-10-28 17:08:02 PDT By amber
• There is a cave or a mine that I have been to, along the beach under the bluffs. It is out past the Port Angeles Gun Club. It has been referred to as Chinaman's Cave, and supposedly many Chinese people were killed while digging the tunnel, as a rogue wave came in and took thier lives unexpectedly. I believe this might've taken place in the 1800's. I have no proof. I would love to read about what happened. Do you know of such a story?

• Re: Chinaman's Cave
• Posted: 2010-11-03 14:15:03 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Amber:
  There are lots of stories surrounding "Chinaman's Cave," but most of them are local legends. What I'll relate here comes from a description of the cave that was completed for an historic property review in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
  
  "The Lake Farm Tunnel is a man-made excavation located two miles east of Port Angeles...It is a gothic arch shaped opening 20' wide, 30' high at the peak...
  
  This tunnel was constructed to drain a lake that was formerly located at the top of the cliff. Bagley tunnelled into the bottom of the lake, once it was drained. The ground was still swampy. Several drainage ditches wre dug, leading to the head of the cavern. During the wet winter months, a small creek enters the cavern through the ditch. This creek is eroding headward, and along the walls of the excavation providing the only alteration to the site since its construction. The dried lake bed above the tunnel is now a 40-acre field. The mouth of the cavern is not readily visible from the surface of the lake bed. It is covered with brush, making the approach hazardous as the edge of the drop has been hidden by the years. Many animals of all sizes have fallen into the hole, giving the Lake Farm Tunnel a sense of the macabre, in keeping with its mysterious past."
  If you live in or near Port Angeles and would like to see other information, our research library is open on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment.
  Thanks for your request!

• I am trying to lacate information on our old red barn at the Olympic Game Farm. I have been told it is 200+ years old but I have pictures of it back to 1942. My grandfather, Lloyd Beebe, says it was here when he bought the farm with his dad and it was old then. Since then it has become a studio barn for filming by Disney and the old movie sets remain. I do know the barn has had a few additions but the center has remained the same with hand hewn beams.
  
  How can I trace its actual age?

• CGAS Port Angeles 1945
• Posted: 2010-05-24 08:53:57 PDT By 365
• Hello!
  
  My name is Nora Chidlow. I am the archivist for the U.S. Coast Guard, based in Washington, DC. Occasionally I research and write about historical topics relating to the Coast Guard for our office's website. I'm presently working on a story and am seeking local information, if available.
  
  On 14 January 1945, a Navy bomber became lost and ran out of fuel in a snowstorm over what is now North Cascade National Park. A search party comprised of the Navy, Coast Guard, Forest Service, Army, and the National Ski Patrol set out to find the six crew members who had ditched the plane moments before it crashed. The Coast Guard crew came from CGAS Port Angeles. This search and rescue was the first case of the newly formed Air-Land Rescue Unit at the station. I came across 31 photos of the search while re-processing our Disaster files; they had been misfiled and did not contain enough information for proper filing sequences. My research for ths basic filing information revealed a unique story, and I am now putting it together.
  
  I am looking for any background/local information on this rescue. There were 12 Coasties involved in the search; I only know the name of the Air-Land officer in charge of this party - LT(jg) John W. Jay. I would be interested in any newspaper accounts of this crash and any information on CGAS Port Angeles and its activities during WW2. Additionally, I'd love to find out the names of the entire search party, though I know a very long shot.
  
  Please email me at Nora.L.Chidlow@uscg.mil if you have anything.
  
  Thank you so much!!

• Re: Place names
• Posted: 2010-06-21 12:41:33 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Dick:
  I apologize for the delay. I had hoped to have all the answers but this reply will only address the names found in "Gods & Goblins: A Field Guide to Place Names of Olympic National Park" by Smitty Parratt.
  
  Hole in the Wall: The source of this name is unknown. Referred to by early white settlers as "Tunnel Rock," the landmark, now called "Hole in the Wall," is a natural wave-carved arch in a large shoreline rock monolith. Local tribesmen say that many years ago the Quileute Tribe was badly defeated here in a retaliatory raid by the Nitinat tribe of Vancouver Island.
  
  First Beach: Is so named because it is just that: It is the first stretch of pacific Beach found south of the Indian Village of LaPush. It is separated from Second and Third Beaches by impassable headlands.
  
  Second Beach: Unknown but see above.
  
  Third Beach: This is the third beach south of the Indian Village of LaPush, Washington, each separated from the next by impassable headlands. In 1902, an attempt was made to drill oil at this site.
  
  Morse Creek: Originally called Chambers Creek for early settler Frank chambers, Sr., this stream which empties into the Strait of Juan de Fuca just a few miles east of downtown Port Angeles, now carries the name of the two men who homesteaded there in 1863: Eben Gay Morse and his brother, David W. Morse. The men came to Port Angeles that year from Nova Scotia, began buying property, and soon owned all of what is now the 80-acre Four Seasons Ranch, a residential area with a nine-hole, par three golf course.
  
  We will see what we can come up with for the other places you have named.
  Thank you for your patience.

• Re: Place names
• Posted: 2010-06-23 08:59:27 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Dick:
  
  Here is information about two other names. The information is from Tracks, Trails and Tales by Harriet U. Fish.
  
  Travis Spit: The name of the rest of the spit today is written as "Travis," about which I have a theory. In studying the title progression of this and its surrounding lands, we find the names of Robert W. and Sara Travers having held land patents in this area as early as 1882. It would have been an understandable error to change the "ers" to "is" at the end of the name. My guess is that this is the origin of "Travis."
  
  Kiapot Point: Kiapot was the early name given by white man to the tip of the natural sand-spit which protrudes from the east, reducing in size, the water's exit at the mouth of Sequim Bay. This name appears early, on an 1841 map prepared by the American exploration expedition led by Charles Wilkes, which first surveyed Clallam County. So this name has been long in use.
  No doubt the word's origen came from white man's interpretation of the spelling of an unwritten Indian word, meaning "to stop, leave off, enough" and recorded in the chinook dictionaries as "Kopet."
  
  Hope this is helpful!

  Do you know Sherma Whitehead? She is the step sister of Bessi, Elsworth and Lewis Whitehead(I think those names are correct.) Anyway she is my Aunt and is 86 years old. My grandmother(Norma Nelson) married Wyman Edwin Whitehead and was his 2nd wife We have been doing some Ancestry searching and would love to see any photos you might have that concern that branch of the family. You might not be a relative at all but Whitehead is not a common name so I thought I'd ask. Best Wishes,

• Dear Query Ladies,
  
  I'm an author having fun researching the Destruction Island Lighthouse for a book I'm writing. I didn't know about the History Tales lecture by Ginger Nichols, on Jan. 3, 2010, until I saw a notice about it on your website today. If the event was taped, I would love to purchase a copy of it on DVD, if possible.
  
  Thank you for your help!

• Hi Linda:
  Unfortunately, we did not start taping our History Tales lectures until after Ginger's program.
  I don't know if you live in Clallam County, but Ginger is asked to give her program to other groups.
  Please let me know if you would like us to talk with Ginger about any upcoming programs she may be presenting.

• There is an article, "Canoes from Cedar Logs: A Study of Early Types and Designs" in an issue of the Pacific Northwest Quarterly (April 1955:33-39) by George Durham. The bio on the author is that he "is a librarian of Clallam County Library, Port Angeles, Washington". Was this gentleman also known as Bill Durham who wrote Canoes and Kayaks of Western American (1960)? Thanks for you help and any further biographical info about Mr. Durham(s).

• Hi Alan:
  No luck so far in determining whether George & Bill were one and the same. The only information we fund about George was in a 1954 Polk City Directory. George W. Durham is listed as a librarian with the county library. He does not appear in the 1956 directory nor do we have an obituary for him.
  Have you tried getting in touch with the Washington State Historical Society or the Museum of History and Industry?

• Hello,
  I write a column for the PDN about the West End and was posed the question how and when did the community of Beaver get its name? Trapping or Beaver dams would be my guess but maybe not. Have you got any ideas or documents about this? Thanks so much, Christi Baron

• Re: Beaver
• Posted: 2010-04-02 09:40:42 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Christi:
  We love your column in the PDN! The photos and information are always so interesting.
  According to June Robinson's "Why Do They Call It..." booklet about the West End,
  
  BEAVER: A creek was so named because it flowed out of a lake (Beaver lake) that drains into the creek through a large swamp that was created by a beaver dam many years ago. The general area and the community, including the school, were named "Beaver" in the late 19th century.
  
  I'm not sure where June got her information, but we'll do a little more checking here.

• Mt. Pleasant schools...
• Posted: 2010-03-16 15:36:44 PDT By 266
• Hello, ladies. We are of the Epperson, Boyd, and Dorr families who came to P.A. in the first decade of the last century. The old Mt. Pleasant school burned down, and apparently the students all transferred to the new school, at the corner of Mt. Pleasant Road and Draper Lane. Do you know what year it was that the old school was destroyed by fire? Thanks, Richard K. "Max" Martindale 16 March 2010

• Re: Mt. Pleasant schools...
• Posted: 2010-03-17 10:49:11 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Max:
  A preliminary search of the usual sources didn't come up with an answer to your question, but I'll turn it over to another one of the Query Ladies tomorrow.
  According to Jimmy Come Lately, the 3rd or 4th schoolhouse to be built in the county was the one-room log house on the then called Mount Misery (now Mount Pleasant) road. In 1906 a new school was built at Mount Pleasant, District 43. W.A. Lewis was the contractor. It was a small frame one-room building, measuring 12 feet by 16 feet. Mrs. Inez McLaughlin taught 16 pupils in this school in the early years of the century. On September 12, 1951, children from this school started attending the new Monroe School.
  Mt. Misery school was created as School District #12 in 1888; in 1889, it was listed as having 22 scholars.
  Consolidation of Port Angeles #7 and Mt. Pleasant #43 was finalized on September 13, 1949 and called Port Angeles School District #17.
  This has nothing to do with the school, but seeing the names you listed, I thought you might enjoy these items from the Port Angeles Tribune Times, January 3, 1913. News from Mt. Pleasant:
  Mrs. Fowler and Miss Bessie of Angeles, the families of Wm. Conway, J.W. Boyd and Mrs. Piper spent the day with Mr. Wm. Dorr.
  Henry Boyd went to Angeles to be with his sick wife in the Taylor Hospital and who, under their skillful care, is progressing nicely and will soon be able to be home again.
  Mr. E.A. Epperson came home from the Canyon to be with his family Christmas.
  Hope we can have more about the school tomorrow.

• Good day ladies,
  
  I am currently working on a painting for my grandmother who attended the Mt. Pleasant School in 1929. Basically, I am trying recreate the school as it looked back then.
  
  There is presently a boarded up white building on the grounds where the school once stood, and that building appears in the background of a few undated (but old) photographs.
  
  Was that white building there in 1929? If so, what was it used for?
  
  Thanks so much for your help!
  
  My best,

• Hi Eric:
  You wouldn't think this would be so difficult, but it appears there were the two school buildings. When the first schoolhouse (built in 1901) became too small for the growing families, another building just east of the first one was built in 1905.
  According to one source, by the late 20s/early 30s, grade levels were split between the two structures.
  We will mail you what little we have in our vertical files about the schools.
  Hope this is somewhat helpful.

• Hi Diane:
  We have 9 issues of Spruce, a newspaper devoted to the Spruce Division in Clallam County. One of those is quite large--the Victory Edition--which gives an overview of all the operations in the County.
  We will be more than happy to have you read these on your visit. We also have all the newspapers from that time period. The newspapers are not indexed, but you would be welcome to choose a time period and start perusing. As you well know, the problem with looking through the old newspapers is that it's hard to stop once you get going!
  We also have some photos of the Spruce Division.
  Please let us know when you are coming so we can have the material ready for you.
  I think you will really enjoy reading the Spruce newspapers. Most of them are only a few pages, but the articles give you a good idea of what was going on at the time.
  From "Gossip of the Camps" in the September 15, 1918, edition:
  "An advertisement nailed to a tree near Johnson McDermott's camp reads as follows: 'Wanted one moonshiner:must be kind, sound and gentle. Large salary paid. No questions asked.'"
  Looking forward to meeting you!

  The Genealogy Ladies and I had fun with this one. Virginia remembers the Mulholland Music Shop!
  Your great uncle is listed in the 1926 Polk Directory as having a shop at 110 South Laurel where he sold musical instruments. His home was at 209 East 9th Street (which is the block where my home is, so I will see which house it was on my way home tonight). His wife's name was Mary.
  In the 1936 and 1941-42 directories, his business is listed as Mulholland's Music & Radio Shop at 114 East First Street, phone number 439-W. His merchandise included appliances as well as music.
  By 1946, the shop became Swindland's.
  Our genealogy society has the obituaries; there is a charge for those. If you look up the Clallam County Genealogical Society on line, click on Obituaries 1891-current, print off the form and mail it to them. Mr. Mulholland is buried at Ocean view Cemetery; there is a tombstone picture available at findagrave.com. You may also find some military information at media.digitalarchives.wa.gov.
  I hope this is of some help to you. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  Thank you for responding to a previous request on the forum. We have always hoped that other people reading the queries will respond if they have further information.
  We have not found any additional information about the guns at the west end of 5th or 6th Streets. In Dorothy Crowell's booklet, Clallam County 1941-1945, she says a resident recalls a machine gun nest installed on a point of land at his parents' place, but she does not identify who told her this story.
  We have audio tapes of WWII memories, but they have not been transcribed. They are, however, available for listening to at our Research Library.
  We have one photo in our collection that states "Guns at 6th Street, 2/15/42."
  There is another photo which states "mobile coastal gun with camouflage net; could be as far west as Neah bay but most likely Camp Hayden. notice sandbag bunker around trees."
  We will continue to check, but I hope this is of help to you.

  I was rereading the posting from 2010-02-05 16:00:48 ie "mobile coastal gun with camouflage net; could be as far west as Neah bay but most likely Camp Hayden. notice sandbag bunker around trees"
  
  The only mobile coastal guns that were emplaced from Port Angeles westward were the two railway guns in Port Angeles, a smaller 37mm gun battery at Ediz Hook and the four 155mm guns emplaced at Elwah East.
  
  If the picture in question shows a gun on a railway carriage it should be similar to the first picture that is described above.
  
  If the gun barrell bore is 37mm or about one and one half inches, it would be the 37mm at Ediz Hook.
  
  If the picture in question shows large rubber tires, approximately four to five feet in diameter, it would be the 155mm at Elwah East.
  
  It is possible any of the the three guns mentioned above could have sandbags around them.
  
  Camp Hayden did not have any wheel mounted guns, only four guns, 2-16" and 2-6", that revolved on large steel rings embedded in concrete. The 16" had overhead concrete cover and the 6" and a steel shield surrounding the gun and carriage.
  
  No additional large guns were emplaced further westward though 4-16" and 4-6" guns were planned for Cape Flattery until construction stopped in late 1943.
  
  I would like to see this second picture if there is a way for you to post it. I should be able to narrow down the type of gun and possibly the location.

• Re: history of roads
• Posted: 2010-02-02 11:11:50 PST By Kathy Monds
• Hi John:
  If you can get your hands on a copy of Jimmy Come Lately, there are quite a few references to roads.
  In searching through the vertical file, there was quite a bit about county roads but not all that much specifically about Port Angeles.
  
  A paper put together by S.H. Morse has the following information:
  
  In 1863, a county road was laid out from Dungeness to Port Angeles as to intersect the road leading from the Elwha river to Port Angeles at the back of the Port Angeles Townsite Reserve. Road viewers were appointed by the Clallam County commissioners in February 1870 to view a county road from Port Angeles to the Elwha river. The report was approved and the board ordered this road to be opened as a public road.
  Early roads were constructed by hand labor and puncheon used as a base. Roads were narrow and met the needs of wagons, walkers and horse riders.
  
  Burlingame was a big name in early Clallam County road building. The firm built the original county road from Sequim-Dungeness to Port Angeles in 1890-91. For more than a generation, this was known as the Burlingame road. Not surfaced, it was dusty in the summer and a quagmire in rainy times and winter. Hills were so steep at Ennis, Morse and Siebert's Creeks that passengers in horse-drawn vehicles got out and walked. A second road was built by the county from the Clallam/Jefferson line to Port Angeles in 1913-14.
  Do you want information about roads going west of Port Angeles as well?

• Re: Lincoln Theater History
• Posted: 2010-01-18 10:29:45 PST By Kathy Monds
• Hi Greg:
  Sorry for the delay; things always seem to be hopping around here!
  According to Jimmy Come Lately, page. 228,
  
  Edwin and Evar Halberg, company managers of Port Angeles Theaters, Incorporated, opened the Lincoln Theater for its first night's performance on September 4, 1916. The Lincoln was said to be the finest and most artistic small town theater on the Pacific Coast complete with its $5,000 Kimball Symphony Orchestra Pipe Organ. They had costumes for the attendants of the theater. An excerpt from a 1916 newspaper review follows: "Everything about the Lincoln tends to make one sit back in his seat in a contented mood. For the sweethearts and more exclusive sets, the loges and boxes will be found attractive, while for the real movie fan the comfortable opera house chairs will be plenty good enough, for they 'fit' comfortably."
  America's Sweetheart Mary Pickford graced the screen for the Lincoln Theater's opening in her pathetic characterization of The Foundling. For the lustier fans, Spell of the Yukon was on the next bill.
  At the organ, Mrs. Mabel Douglas played "To a Wild Rose," "Somewhere a Voice is Calling" and Mrs. Victoria Porte, mezzo soprano, sang "Matinata." This musical combination continued for years at the Lincoln Theater.
  The theater was decorated in colonial style including an effect of colonial style windows when the lights were turned off. The Lincoln Theater's pure white front and elaborate lighting system made an entirely new street of First Street between Lincoln and Laurel Streets. Over the bay window was a life-size bust of Lincoln in bronze.
  Prices listed for the 1916 Lincoln admissions were adults, fifteen cents; loges, twenty-five cents; and children, fifteen cents.
  
  We have more information in our files and some photos. If you live in Clallam County, you are welcome to come in and see what we have. Our research library is open Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment.

• Posted: 2010-01-08 10:26:25 PST By Kathy Monds
• Hi Rob:
  We did not find anything to substantiate a story about a casino and brothel at Place Road, but we do know there was a lot of smuggling going on all along the coast.
  We do have information about The Place Resort. It was built by E.A. Smith in the 1930s. There was a lodge and rental cabins. The large building was made of stacked logs with 4 round windows on one side and 5 on the other side made from rings 12-14 inches thick. The building had electricity, a frieplace and double plumbing. It was featurd in Ripley's "Believe It or Not."
  There was a dance floor, food was served, and there was a small store. The family lived in quarters in one end.
  The main building was blown up in the 50s or early 60s. The story goes that men had too much to drink. The plumbing froze and dynamite was used to clear the plumbing. Two men thought it was funny. They learned a small blast would loosen the nails and made them easy to pull; but too many sticks were just too much and the whole building blew up.
  As on 2010, one cabin still stands.
  Harriet Fish wrote an article about "How Place Road got its name" for The Daily News on December 6, 1981.
  While we didn't exactly answer your question, we hope this information is of interest.

  Jimmy Come Lately also has him listed in Neah Bay with a settlement of white traders in August of 1857. Henry Webster, William Winsor, Charles Winsor, J.A. Jenkins and Charles Strong arrived and established a trading post across from the tip of Wadaah Island, but Winsor did not stay long. He is also listed as a light keeper at Tatoosh.

  Massachusetts court records also show that William was out of the state during that time, and he did not die in Massachusetts. I have a feeling that Willam W. Winsor of Duxbury and Tatoosh Island are the same person.
  
  I will investigate further, and I really appreciate the research you have done.
  
  Thank you very much for your time!

• Hi Vernon:
  Pysht Pottery is no longer in business--a pity since their work was quite wonderful.
  We have a request out to one of the former owners; we will send information when we hear from her.
  Thanks!

• Good morning, Sally:
  Our research librarian checked all the available resources we have, and we could find nothing about the Morgart Land Company. They are not listed in any of the history books we have nor are they listed in any of the directories from that time period. Do you have the names of any of the individuals involved with this company?

• Thanks! On the articles of incoropration it lists F.B. Morgart, C.E. Gay, and W. M. Gay. Morgart is the President. I know that Morgart's first name is Frederick. From the description, they were dealing in the purchase and sale of real estate, as well as, construction. Additionally, it sounds that they were in the management of financial end of those transactions. And lastly, they were acting as trustees of deeds, etc. They are stated as dealing generally in real estate in Clallam and other counties in the State of Washington; the principal place of business is noted as Port Angeles. It states their Board of Trustees shall be composed of three or more resident stock holders in additional to the 3 gentlemen identified above. The instrument is dated 20 Jan 1891. Hope this helps you uncover something about the company. Thanks, again.

• I just spent 15 minutes on my reply only to have the computer say there was an error & could not send the response!!
  SO, let's try again.
  This one is a puzzler. I brought in one of our Genealogy researchers, but we still did not have much luck.
  The 1889 Census lists F.B. Morgart, age 45, white male, Teamster, married; F.Morgart, age 47, white female, married; and M Morgart, age 19, white female. None of these people are listed in the 1900 census.
  There is an obit for Fannie Morgart (Frederick's wife) who died in 1906. Her two sisters and brother filed a petition to have James Pettitt appointed as administrator of Fannie's estate because her husband "refuses and neglects so to do."
  Frederick responds that they had no children, no parents, and there is no need for an administrator.
  We still found no mention of a Morgart Land Company.
  W.R. (Wilson Riley) Gay appears everywhere in 1891 newspapers. He is listed as an attorney, U.S. Circuit Court Commissioner, and real estate agent. There are a number of half-page ads for his real estate company.
  A brief in the November 14, 1891, Times states an order admitting C.E. Gay as attorney and counselor at law in the Superior court of the State of Washington on his taking the examination and oath as required by law.
  I went through a number of 1891 papers but did not find much else. The newspapers are not indexed, and it would take days to go through the 1890s papers. If by any chance you are in Port Angeles, we'd be happy to make arrangements for you to look through the papers. They make fascinating reading!
  Wish we could have been of more assistance.

• Will make this response much briefer than the one I "lost." Your response gave me great information on the Morgart family members and they are my primary interest. I can live with what I know about the Land Company. I am so pleased to learn you have access to an obit for Fannie. She was Frederick's second wife. How do I go about getting a copy from you? Also -- I know date of death for Frederick and am presuming he died in Clallam County, also, but don't know that for fact. DOD is 8 Feb 1908. Is it possible for you to check for an obit for Frederick? Please advise me the proper protocol for these requests and I will follow your instructions.
  
  THANK YOU for your much appreciated time and assistance!

  Please go to the Clallam County Genealogy Society website, print out the research request form, and mail it to CCGS, ATTN: Susan Koehler, P.O. Box 1327, Port Angeles, WA 98362.
  Susan has been helping me with this, so she will be looking for your request. We did not find any obit for Frederick.

  One more question: Where / who should I contact to get a copy of the petition Fannie's brother and sisters filed that you mentioned?
  
  Thank you!!

• Hi Nadine:
  It's amazing how few photos there are of the Lee Hotel considering its preeminent presence in downtown. Our research librarian could find no photos from the 40s; she said it is shown in some street scenes we have from the 50s and 60s.

  We have not found anything in our files, but information about WWII crashes were not necessarily listed in the newspapers at the time.
  There was an article in the November 3, 2002, Peninsula Daily News about a man from Olympia who traces old crash sites. Are you familiar with this?

• Hi Bob:
  We've checked our photo archives and cannot find any photos of a horse drawn hearse. We checked with a retired librarian from NOLS, and she thinks there may be a photo in the public library's collection but couldn't say for sure. One of us will make a trip up there and see if we can find the photo she is referencing.
  Is there a date connected with the paperwork you have?
  If you do decide to donate the lanterns to our our collection, we would love to have them.
  Thanks!

• Hi Lynne:
  John Troy is an interesting character, although not as interesting as his wife Minerva Troy!
  I had not heard about John Troy's alleged embezzlement of money while he was auditor, but this is a subject the Query Ladies would love to tackle.
  One problem is going to be the newspapers. While we hold a large collection of them, the batch from mid-1896 through 1899 are missing.
  We'll see what we can find out.

• That would be SOOOO great. I'm writing about Troy and it seems this "incident" has never been reported upon in Alaska (where I am). Minerva??? What have you got there? All I know is that they got divorced (though I don't know why) and that she became an artist and musician. I do know that John had primary custody of their daughters, Helen and Dorothy, which seems odd for 1911. Anything you can tell me would be great! You can also reach me at:

• Hi Dick:
  Many apologies for my tardiness in getting back to you.
  The only information we could find were references to a camp in Lincoln Park; camouflaged guns on the bluffs near West 5th Street; pillboxes on Highway 101 across from Fairview Grocery and the Elwha River; and soldiers at the Dry Creek Grange hall.
  If you would like, we can post your request in our quarterly newsletter and see if anyone responds.

• Re: Army Camp in Port Angeles

• There was a railway battery of two 8-inch guns positioned in Port Angeles during the war. The location suggested at the West end of 5th street for the camouflaged guns is probably the railway battery.
  
  The Elwah River site was composed of two separate military sites.
  
  Elwah West had a dug in observation post on the edge of the bluff. The station has since fallen down the bluff.
  
  Elwah East had a dug in observation post, a radar tower and power plant, four circular gun mounts known as Panama Mounts and an observation post for the guns.
  
  Additional observation posts extended west of Elwah to Camp Hayden and further west ending at Pillar Point.

• Posted: 2009-08-31 09:31:12 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Hi Anne:
  We will check with some other resources before giving a definitive answer (if, indeed, there is one). But Jimmy Come Lately lists Walter G. Bovee as the manager of the Lee Hotel who also managed property at Lake Crescent Lodge.
  We'll dig deeper!
  The Query Ladies
  P.S. There is a very good book put out by ONP in 1983, Historic Resource Study. It is not one you can purchase, but we have a copy in our research library. Don't know if NOLS has one as well.

• Re: Bovee's Meadow
• Posted: 2009-08-31 10:55:26 PDT By Kathy Monds
• Yes, Anne, Bovee's Meadow is named after Walter G. Bovee. According to Gods & Goblins (another terrific resource which has just been reprinted),
  "Mr. and Mrs. Bovee lived in this area during the 1950s. The Bovees owned Lake Crescent Lodge, which they later sold to the National Park Service. The property includes the dead hulk of what was once the world's largest grand fir.The last building was removed in the late 1960s."
  
  The Bovees moved to California, where Walter died in 1968.
  
  Thanks for your query!

  Oh that looks like Walt's Boulevard up on Lauridsen (where Albertsons is now).
  I think they said Walt. Anyhow, they said it was torn down so at least that's a clue.
