There was something about the way the hair was parted - the boys hair was usually parted in the middle which helped, too. However, the photo that was hanging for many years on my grandmother Alice (Hardy) McKee’s wall was definitely of a little boy and a pretty little girl with long curls; a fancy bow in her hair; a lovely “dressy” dress; and button-up type shoes. I often heard the story of this photo which Grandma treasured and which is now hanging on the wall in my home. Grandma was a tiny woman - just over five feet tall and about 98 pounds, “soaking wet,” as it was called then. Her first child was my father, Archie Leroy “Roy” McKee born March 17, 1898. The birth of this 10-pound son was almost more that Grandma’s little body could tolerate. But two years later she gave birth to their second son, William George “Will” McKee, a red-headed boy born June 4, 1900. Grandpa George Elden McKee wanted a daughter to complete their family so three years later they had their third and last child, another boy. Leonard Elden McKee was born June 4, 1903. After Grandma recuperated from the birth of their third son, she borrowed a girl’s pretty dress and shoes from a friend, and the fancy boy’s suit possibly from the photographer. She combed her red-headed son’s long hair into curls, after dressing him as a girl and putting the ribbon in his hair - the finishing touch. (It’s too bad this photo couldn’t have been in color!) The photographer took the photo of the two brothers - 5-year-old Roy and 3-year-old Will. The photo was covered with glass which has a brass chain attached as a frame & hanger. The background around the photo is dark red. When the photo was all finished, Grandma presented it to Grandpa with the comment, “George - here’s the girl you always wanted.” That “girl” sufficed until they became my guardians after the death of my mom in 1934. I remember my Grandpa as a kind man. He died in 1938 when I was seven years old. I remember him fondly as the one responsible for my love of math to this day. I was playing Cribbage by the time I was in the second grade. in the little mountain valley town of Amboy, Washington. That game takes a lot of counting and adding figures in my head and it was thanks to him teaching me the game that I was able to play it since a young age. Editor’s Note: The Editor has two uncles who were dressed like a girl and knows boys were dressed in girls clothing – my uncle Euel wore a dress in a family photo and in another photo my uncle Dave had beautiful golden curls and was in a dress. Both were at least younger than four at the time of the photos and had older sisters. 4 Trail Breakers – Vol. 40, July 2013 to June 2014 Clark County Genealogical Society, Vancouver, Washington Celerating 40 years of the Trail Breakers About two years after the society was formed the Old Train Depot and Providence Academy it was decided to do a quarterly, the fourth with Maxine Inman as editor.

Glenn Harrison took on the added responsibility of updating the chapter This day was the same as most days in the Columbia Bylaws.

The Raffle, held just before the lunch would soon be here. However, today there was a big break, brought into the chapter difference at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center; some 60 plus Northwest chapter members attended the first meeting of the year. Chapter President Lethene Parks called the meeting to order and the minutes for last years meeting were accepted.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • What's in a Name? John Swan and Swan Creek Park
    What’s in a Name? John Swan and Swan Creek Park By Claire Keller-Scholz Art, Culture, & Heritage Administrator for Metro Parks Tacoma Park History On the border between southeast Tacoma and the Puyallup Tribal Reservation is a 373 acre park named for the creek that runs through it. Swan Creek Park is going through the midst of a Master Plan update process this year, and the public had questions about the origins of the name. Most of the written history of the park focuses in the 1930s and ‘40s, when the city built housing for war workers in the greenspace along the south east edge of Tacoma. The Salishan neighborhood extended into what is now Swan Creek Park, with 1,600 units of housing built by 1943. The houses were never intended to be permanent residences, and in the mid- 1950s many of them were pulled down. But how did the creek get its name? A rumor recently emerged that the park was named for an “Indian Agent” who interned Native Americans during the 1850s Treaty Wars. There was a man named John Swan who was put in charge of Fox Island when it was used to confine non-combatant native peoples during the period in question, but he was not the man for whom the park is named. Research indicates that Swan Creek was named for John and Jane Swan, Puyallup tribal members who lived nearby the land feature in the 1890s. [Author’s note: since this article was first published, it has come to the author’s attention that there is an additional source of the name “Swan Creek”.

  • 264. (3) the Creation of the Territory Of
    IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES T HE CREATION OF THE TERRITORY OF IDAHO Number 264 March 1969 Prior to 1868 the region destined to become Idaho passed through several territorial reorganizations. For five years (from August 14, 1848 to March 2, 1853) it was included in Oregon Territory. Then it was divided between Washington Territory and Oregon Territory until February 14, 1859. Oregon then became a state, and the entire Idaho area was attached to Washington. At that time, the land that became Idaho was expected to remain unsettled for another 50 years or so. That would have been some time into the twentieth century. Then an unexpected Idaho gold rush, a year after Oregon's admission to the Union, changed the whole situation. Miners came by the thousands, and within two years the Idaho mines (as the country was known in 1862) had gained a population a lot greater than the older settlements of Washington. When gold was discovered at Pierce, September 30, 1860, the eastern part of Washington Territory (which included all of what now is Idaho) was undeveloped politically. The Idaho portion made up part of Spokane County, which no one had yet bothered to organize. Anticipating the Clearwater gold rush, the Washington legislature established Shoshone County, which included all the country south and east of Lewiston. In the territorial election of July 8, 1861, Shoshone County cast the largest vote in Washington, and in 1862 the Salmon River gold rush made Florence by far the biggest community in the territory. Older, more stable settlements such as Olympia and Seattle just did not compare with Florence that season.
