While I was doing research for my paper on my Great Great Grand Uncle William Tucker, I made contact with a cousin whose family had immigrated to New Zealand in 1877 He was a descendant of the grandchild (Mary Ann Emily) of my Great Great Grand Uncle Job Tucker. He contacted another descendant of the other grandchild (Florence Grace) who was part of the family that had moved to Australia.<br />
<br />
I just finished doing a USB drive for the Australian cousin and am trying to finish Family Group Sheets for her to use to track everyone. The two granddaughters of Job were abandoned by their father Job Jr. and their mother Emily Hampton Tucker. The couple with the two youngest children Percival and Herbert disappeared off the face of the Earth. Not one of the four has ever been found anywhere.<br />
<br />
Her grandmother, Florence Grace Tucker, was born at Church Street, Godalming, Guildford, Surrey, England in 1873 and so was just three years old when she traveled to New Zealand. Their way was paid as part of a movement to bring settlers to New Zealand. Job Jr. had worked as a laborer and most probably knew nothing of farming. It is believed that he gave up farming at the time he disappeared.<br />
<br />
The family story is that the sisters were found abandoned at the Marton Railway Station some time after Herbert was born in May 1878 and before September 1879. Neither girl spoke much about their parents and there seemed to be a lot of resentment. During times of hardship it was not unusual for other families to take in children who were not their own so it might have been that and not abandonment. The fact remains though that there are no records anywhere for Job, Emily, Percival, and Herbert after that time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208243268994304709.post-7026967844176472662015-08-21T20:56:00.000-07:002015-08-21T20:56:00.147-07:00What does a Bored Kitty do In the Middle of the Night?<br />

also have two large volumes on my dresser about the Crimean War (made
famous in the poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade") - it was the first
war fought with modern technologies - explosive naval shells, railways,
and the telegraph - and it was also a complete logistical, tactical,
and medical failure due to gross mismanagement - and in spite of that -
the English, French, and Ottoman Empire won. Russia was doing then -
just what it does now - attempting to take over territory belonging to
someone else. Two of William and John's brothers fought as marine gunners in the
Crimean War - Isaac died from disease in horrible conditions and Job
survived. I have already

night - the paper was 74 pages long and with footnotes, bibliography,
appendices etc it was a total of 220 pages. I have a mess to clean up, a
house to clean, flower beds to weed and a garage to clean out. The
class was great but it took a lot of time. I wouldn't mind taking it
again though, but it would be a lot easier to do retired.<br />
<br />
I learned a lot about research and new ways to search the internet and even got back to searching microfilm images which is what we did in the 1980s. A lot of information still hasn't been indexed so it is still the only way to find some of the records.<br />
<br />
My paper was on my Great Great-Grand Uncle William Tucker. My Great-Grandfather William was named after him. Uncle William joined the British Army in 1845 (you enlisted for 21 years) and my Great-Great-Grandfather John immigrated to America in 1851 and came to the gold fields in California in 1852. John then helped settle Lewis County in Washington Territory in 1865.<br />
<br />

I almost finished the book at the Impress last Saturday night. I just had a couple more flowers to glue on and the pictures to print out which I did today.<br />

I know nothing more about that man then when I started. It is so frustrating!<br />
<br />
I am going to have to finish and post my last eight posts for "52 Ancestors" probably next year. I have to do my last two homework assignment that are due January 8th now because I have to have hernia surgery on the 23rd of December and with only a week to recover before I go back to work - going to work is all I will have the time and energy for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208243268994304709.post-8754734611031478582014-11-08T18:59:00.001-08:002014-11-08T19:00:27.487-08:0052 Ancestors - #44 William Tubbs Graves - My Double Great Great Great Great Grandfather<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">According to James McGee

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My
great grandfather William John Tucker was born 152 years ago today on October 30,
1862. William was born to an Englishman turned California gold miner turned
farmer John Tucker and a former Kentucky/Missouri girl – Mary Graves Hardesty.
John and Mary had met shortly after she arrived in Honey Lake, California in
1861 and they were married on January 21, 1862. John had been in America since
1851 when he made the perilous journey from the East Coast to the California
gold fields. John and Mary's first child William was born on their farm in
Susanville, Lassen County, California. As John had a brother William who was
five years older than he was, it is likely that this was who they named their
eldest son after.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">John
had two dreams, to go north to Canada to get back under British Rule and to buy
a farm where God did the irrigating. He never made it back to British territory
as he was unable to convince his wife Mary to ford any more treacherous rivers
after they had lost a team of horses and a wagon crossing the Cowlitz River
near Toledo after their arrival in Washington Territory.The family spent two
years of renting a farm on the Cowlitz Prairie.Will’s sister Mary Elizabeth was
born while the lived on the Cowlitz Prairie farm on April 8, 1865. John
realized his second dream in 1866 when he hewed his log home out of the
wilderness of the Silver Creek area. At that time Silver Creek was a 2000 acre
valley of fertile soil with no roads and very few clearings because the land
was covered with a hardy growth of timber. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For
the first two years at the Silver Creek cabin it had no door - just a large and
heavy canvas and then with the birth of each of the next six children John would
add a room to the cabin. William’s younger siblings were Sarah Ellen born in
1867, George Henry born February 1, 1872, Agnes Jane born September 12, 1874,
Albert Henry born May 23, 1876, Alfred James born May 28, 1879 and Frederick
Rollyn born December 28, 1882. When Fred was three years old their sister Sarah
Ellen died August 9, 1886 at age 19 of a ruptured appendix and was one of the
first two people buried at the Salkum Cemetery.</span></div>

cousin Loren Tucker, the son of William’s youngest brother Fred, was born in

was a good blacksmith and Dad often sent me over to his place with a horse to
shoe or a plow share to sharpen. He was large and had a mustache. I think in
later years he had diabetes or dropsy. I can remember him show Mom how badly
his legs were swollen. I also remember Aunt May and her tremendous garden. I
never knew Uncle Will’s first wife. In fact I never knew until I was grown
about her. I remember Dee Bell but she never fit in very well with my family so
there was no close relationship.”</span></div>

tobacco. Seemed always easy going. Whenever I saw him, he would take me into a

Royal Neighbors lodge which was a fraternal beneficiary society founded in 1895
by nine women when women were not allowed to vote, couldn’t own property, or
have life insurance. The society provided life insurance for women and stood
firmly behind the women’s suffrage movement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In fact, the 19<sup>th</sup> amendment giving women the right to vote
had just been ratified nine days before Rosetta died. Royal Neighbors were one
of the first to insure children and to recognize mortality schedules
establishing that women live longer than men, and to reflect that difference in
their premiums. </span></div>

had paid Mrs. Ben Williams $3 to give her a ride from Licking which was 35
miles. Licking itself was 12 miles north of Raymondville where she lived. “I
feel all right will leave on the 3:55 train. I have a room where I can rest
good. I tried to sleep but could not. Now don’t worry about me I will get along
all right.” She admonishes her husband to take care of Ruby. “Don’t let her
have to draw any water or lift or be on her feet. I do hope she will keep up
and get better.” And now, for my favorite line of the whole letter “Don’t
forget the chicken shut up in house.” She also instructs him to get eight
pounds of unslacked lime and to “put 2 or 3 # in cistern and to put some in a
jar of water and to pour some every day in closet and keep the rest closed
tight in something tight you could put quite a bit in ½ gal fruit jars. You see
the lime kills all germs.” Rosetta closes her letter with “Love to all & a
big kiss for Baby. Now Ruby, take good care of yourself. Bye bye. Mother”</span></div>

I drove up to Bothell/Mill Creek and picked them up and took them down to the Puyallup fairgrounds to go to the Doll and Bear Show. They had been corresponding with and talking to <a href="http://www.debcanham.com/" target="_blank">Deb Canham</a> who designs and makes bears that Theresa collects. Deb is a very nice lady with an English accent.<br />

There was definitely not enough time to get all the sewing done. After an exhausting week at work, the class on Saturday. and then a private movie screening of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3396166/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">The Last Rescue</a>, got home late and then had to get up for class.<br />
<br />
Linda was still absent so the owner of <a href="http://www.quiltbarn.com/" target="_blank">The Quilt Barn</a> Pam took over. We worked on the the pieces that connect with the rings. I didn't get many done and my left arm that I broke when I fell almost 5 years ago was hurting so bad I ending up stopping around 3 and heading home.<br />

I imagine this quilt is going to take me several years to finish so meanwhile look at this picture and you will see how far I have to go - and mine is going to be seven rings by seven rings.<br />

Francisco earthquake of 1906</span> struck San Francisco and the coast of Northern
California at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18, 1906. Devastating
fires broke out in the city that lasted for about four days and with the
infrastructure destroyed there was no water to fight them. The Navy ran water
lines from the bay to help with the firefighting efforts. As a result of the
quake and fires, about 3,000 people died and over 80% of San Francisco was
destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The earthquake was estimated
between 7.8 and 8.3 on the Richter Scale. California has not had one that
strong since. The violent shaking lasted for only 40 seconds – it started and then
paused for 10 seconds and then continued again stronger for 25 seconds.</span></div>

28,000 buildings and 500 blocks were destroyed. It was the world’s first major
natural disaster to have its effects recorded by photography. Not surprisingly,
a later grand jury committee found that some insurance companies had used
doctored photographs to avoid paying valid claims.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The earthquake was caused by the North American and
Pacific tectonic plates moving past each other by more than 15 feet (annual
average is two inches). It </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">created
a surface rupture along the San Andreas Fault which extended continuously for
200 miles and sporadically for another 80 or 90 miles. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 1989 earthquake only created a rupture of
about 25 miles. The mouth of the Salinas River where it emptied into Monterey
Bay was moved 6 miles to a new outlet. It impacted an area of 300,000 square
miles along the San Andreas fault, stretching from southern California to
western Nevada and on up to southern Oregon. It shifted the ground at an
estimated 4 to 5 feet per second, while the rupture traveled at about 5,900
miles per hour. It also caused 24 feet of lateral surface slippage near Point
Reyes Station.</span><br />

city in the United States and the largest on the West Coastwith a population of
about 410,000. San Francisco was the financial, trade and cultural center of
the West and had the busiest port on the West Coast. San Francisco was rebuilt
quickly, but the disaster diverted trade, industry and population growth south
to Los Angeles, which during the 20th century became the largest and most
important urban area in the West.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have in my possession a letter that Louisa wrote
her sister Mary just three weeks after the earthquake on May 8, 1906.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> Upon hearing the news about the earthquake Mary had written
Louisa to make sure she was alright. “My Dear Sister I received your letter of
inquiry and will say we are all saved and been on duty until the last few days.”
Louisa is staying in Petaluma 15 miles south of Santa Rosa with her daughter
Orie and her husband Herman Weber and their two daughters Lisette and baby
Melba Janet just five months old. Petaluma had minor damage with fallen
chimneys and a few brick walls collapsed. She goes on to say, “Mary, I can’t
tell what I have went through. I can’t write it and if I was with you could not
tell you of my experiences with all our loss. I am glad to say we are alive and
so far have had our usual rations daily at our own experience our richest men
before the quake are now standing in line for their rations and I wonder when
it will stop. The earth is still in a swing and every day and night quakes. I
wish it would stop. It makes one feel that we may go down every time. To say
the least it is a perilous time. We do not and never will know how many were
killed in Santa Rosa and as for San Francisco they are taking the dead out on
barges and dumping them in the ocean by the thousands.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Orie’s sister Polly and husband Frank Berka
and two daughters Rita and Reyna also lived in Santa Rosa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About them Louisa says, “Polly and family are
on foot now of them very well.” (“Are on foot” is used to mean homeless.)
“Frank lost in the quake but has his business. My old houses are all standing
chimneys down and filled with refugees of San Francisco. They have taken the
parlour and sitting room and bedrooms for kitchens. Can’t help myself as the
town is under martial law.” The letter ends with “This letter is for all with love
and kisses I remain your loving sister Louisa J Boettcher.”</span></div>

Mary on June 29, 1910, she writes that they are still feeling the economic
effects of the earthquake. Louisa has several empty rental properties and with
all the empty houses the taxes keep going up and the property owners were being
charged street repair costs. </span></div>

daughter Orie’s house of which six weeks were due to being quarantined –“had a
hard time but all better now.” On February 14, 1914 she writes again to her
sister Mary, “My husband has been dead 18 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do feel sad and the longer he is dead the
more I miss him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A true and noble

prior to Mitch leaving for John Day, Rosalie and Mitch repainted the truck
light green on top and dark green on the bottom. On October 2, 1956, Lionell
was in John Day, Oregon looking for a house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He had taken a job with the US Forest Service working as a radio
technician for the Malheur National Forest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The family was planning on joining him October 27<sup>th</sup>. Rosalie's brothers Jack and
Arnold were driving the moving truck down and Laura was driving her car with
Stella and Rosalie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arnold and Laura
were to join us in the area when they also went to work for the Forest Service.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">While
in John Day for five years, we lived in three different houses as housing was
extremely limited and there was nothing available on Government Hill, the
Forest Service compound. The only thing that Mitch could find when we moved to
John Day was what we termed “The Cement House” which was all concrete block
construction on </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Highway
395 at 821 S Canyon Blvd</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can remember Aunt Stella telling me how
horrified she was when she saw the house and how bad she felt for her sister. Terry told me he cried himself to
sleep the first night. Living there was also our introduction to rattlesnakes
and Marc would go into the hills and shoot them and bring home the rattles to
terrorize the women folk with.</span></div>

there we moved to “The White House” next to the S&M Motors – a Chevrolet
dealership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“The White House” which was
at 142 NE Dayton only had two bedrooms so Marc and Terry slept in a bunk bed
and Lisa and I slept in a Twin/Trundle bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For Christmas that year, she purchased bride dolls (that had wedding
rings) for Lisa and I and made them both complete wardrobes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christmas was always a lot of fun. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When
we lived in “The White House”, Rosalie learned how to decorate cakes. This was
when she made the doll cake she sent to Chris for her 14<sup>th</sup> birthday
on May 19th. Rosalie sent it by way of the US Postal Service from John Day,
Oregon to Puyallup, Washington.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She put
it in a box with a clear top; the Puyallup postman very carefully walked the
cake to Chris’ front door. The doll cake arrived unscathed with only one small
piece of frosting disturbed on the back of her doll dress. I remember wanting a
cake with pansies on it for my sixth birthday. Rosalie also took sewing classes
(she was a talented seamstress) and learned how to make tin ornaments, and she
always loved to read.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can remember her
sitting and reading at the kitchen table and Lisa and I asking her to make
Fudge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would finally say “Maybe” and
then we knew we had her and we would run around her shouting “She’s going to
make fudge!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According
to Terry (aka Humphrey), Rosalie continued to experiment with casseroles that
were a continual source of amusement and dismay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He remembers one called a “Shipwreck
Casserole” – so named because it was made of layers of different ingredients
like the decks of a ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He remembers
Mitch commenting on how the name was appropriate for more reasons than that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Terry recalls that even though her casseroles
sometimes were lacking (at least in her men folk’s eyes) that her split pea
soup was to die for as were her baked beans, Hungarian Goulash, Spanish Rice
and the venison steaks when we lived in John Day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Rosalie
was always very active in community affairs in John Day. Once she helped
decorate a float for the annual parade to go along with the song “Purple People
Eater”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She helped make a “Purple People
Eater” mask that Terry then wore and they had a record player playing the song.
I still remember being so impressed that she had help create all this but I was
more impressed at the time that Terry got to be the “Purple People Eater”. He
was less impressed because it rained before the parade was over and he actually
wound up purple.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
the spring and summer, we spent most weekends in the Malheur Forest having
picnics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mitch, Marc, and Terry would
target practice getting ready for hunting season in the fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Terry gave up the target practicing in the
summer once they built the city swimming pool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Marc also enjoyed the pool and managed to break his nose when he was
diving.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During
the summers, Rosalie worked in the snack bar at the John Day Drive In and that
meant that we got to see all the movies for free. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately she didn’t catch enough of “The
Blob” to know what it was about and we were terror stricken for weeks after
seeing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Blob resided under Lisa’s
bed for what seemed like years and it even followed her to Portland.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
1960, we then moved to the big old “Pink Farmhouse” next to the Elks Club in
John Day. The Elks held an annual barbecue that kept the whole family awake
late into the night. It was the first time I had ever seen flaming batons throw
into the air – they certainly know how to have barbecue in Eastern Oregon. The
farmhouse had a very nice area that Mitch used to make his famous home
brew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As with each previous house,
Rosalie painted and wallpapered the inside and made new curtains. Our phone
number in John Day was “235” and when you picked up the phone you told the operator
what number you wanted to call.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Marc
graduated from Grant Union High School in June 1961 and Rosalie cried tears of
joy that he had made it. He had given her a “few moments” of worry during his
high school years. Terry had completed his freshman year, Maevè the second
grade and Lisa first grade. That summer we took our only family vacation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The six of us piled into the 1957 Mercury and
headed for the Grand Canyon and Arizona.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rosalie (who now had a thing about heights since the 1934 incident)
stayed in the car while the rest of us climbed a 100 foot lookout tower while
in a national forest in Arizona. The entire family decided to take a short hike
in Bryce Canyon that took us hours and hours; we never thought we would ever
get out of the canyon. We came out of Bryce Canyon about six miles from the
car. Marc and Dad hitched a ride to get the car.</span></div>

in John Day for a year to work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
bought a brand new house in a sub division in the Rockwood area – 18930 NE
Davis Street, off of 188th.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our address
was Portland, but our phone number MOhawk 5-9471 was Gresham.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember once finding colored pencil

</span>Rosalie was downtown during the Columbus Day Storm 1962 when the store
windows were bowing in and out from the wind. As soon as she could she headed
home to make sure we were all right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
our neighborhood various homes had different kinds of damage – fences down, shingles
lost, windows broken, we only had a few Mitch’s giant dahlias blown over.</span></div>

were not going well with Ike (Lisa and I had nicknamed him “Ick”) so she

come open in the Winlock School District Office as District Secretary. Rosalie
saw this job as an opportunity to start over so after 18 months in Chehalis (and
living in three different places) we moved to Winlock to the farmhouse off of
State Highway 505 (then 603) by the junction with Cemetery Road. We again
painted and wallpapered the entire interior but this time Lisa and I were old
enough to help. Rosalie divorced Ike shortly thereafter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By this time Marc had graduated from college

cupboard or shelf if we couldn’t find something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From these trips came the phrase that Rosalie
made famous, “Lock the doors, Girls – we are in a rough section of town!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rosalie had a lot of phrases that she liked
to use. When something we tried to cook turned out well, we were told that we
had gotten “a good do on that.” If we were suffering while combing our hair, we
were told “it hurts to be beautiful” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and
once we were older “Honestly Girls!” Occasionally, she would use a phrase that
had to be from the 30s “Now you’re cooking with gas!” while she snapped her
fingers and did kind of a Cha Cha step. She also thought things looked real
“schnazy”. Her most favorite swear word in the world was “Shit” though she
sometime used Grandma Mattie’s favorite “Sugar Tit”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> She would also say "Hell's Bells" </span>when she was annoyed. We would spend hours playing card games and
word games such as Boggle or Scrabble. For some reason she had a few names that
she would confuse and we were always teasing her about her use of “Creammate”
for Coffeemate Creamer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rosalie would
always do a daily crossword puzzle. It was also during the 60s that she
imparted “The Rules for Ladies” to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
three Tucker sisters – Stella, Rosalie, and Vina passed the “Ladies Don’t”
rules down to their daughters, the five cousins – Rita, Chris, Cheryl, Maeve,

cross words instead I remember smiles, hugs and laughter. Grandma always looked
so well put together. Her hair always looked like she just left the beauty
parlor, her clothes freshly pressed, and her make-up done just perfect. I
remember her love for cards for she always had them set up in the kitchen. This
may sound strange, but grandma always had orange juice in the refrigerator. I
always looked forward to going to grandma’s house. There was always something
fun to do.”</span></div>

always kidded her about – whenever she referred to Vina she would say “My
Sister Vina”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would tease her
unmerciful about this making sure she wasn’t taking about “Her Cousin Vina” or
“Acquaintance Vina” since, after all, Vina was such a common name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would just shake her head and say, “I
don’t know why I do that.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After Vina’s
death, Rosalie missed Vina terribly and dreamed of her often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rosalie was very happy though that Vina, who
had also remarried, had spent a weekend in Redmond with her shortly before she
died. </span></div>

February 1, 1994, her first Great Granddaughter ShellSea Rosalie was

Nicole to her orthodontist appointment in Centralia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they were done, they went back to Winlock
and had lunch with Grandma Rosalie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nicole said that they had turkey sandwiches on white with potato chips
and milk. She said that during lunch Grandma was gushing about how great she
was feeling and that her hands were a little bothersome with arthritis, but
aside from that she hadn’t felt that great in a long time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had such a great lunch that Nicole <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">really</i> didn’t want to go back to school

9<sup>th</sup> started out as a typical Wednesday with a lunch at the Winolequa
Senior Center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They then went home and
starting cooking for a church potluck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rosalie started feeling very badly and Frank called an ambulance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would be the last time she spent in her
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was taken to Providence
Hospital in Centralia and then on Friday night transferred to Capital Medical
Center in Olympia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We met Lisa at the

Sunday February 13<sup>th</sup> during the last 14 hours of her life, she
finally got to see ShellSea Rosalie for the first and only time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was no longer able to speak except for a
few whispers but she thought the baby was just beautiful – that was Rosalie --
gushing to the last. (We used to always tease her about her overly enthusiastic
ways.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I left Lisa and Frank at the
hospital that evening and headed back to Winlock because Marc and Nicole had
school the next day and I planned on returning the next morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At midnight, exhaustion overcame Lisa and
Frank and they decided to rest in the visitors’ lounge. Lisa whispered in her
ear that they would be close by if she needed anything. Frank woke up suddenly
just before 2:00 a.m. and walked into her room as she died. It seemed as if she
called to him to say goodbye. At 2:03 a.m. Frank woke Lisa up and told her Mom
was gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lisa went in to say goodbye.
Lisa said, “The most striking thing I noticed was how peaceful and youthful her
face looked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While she looked younger
than her 71 years, she appeared even younger with death. No more strained or
painful expression - just peace and contentment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was ready to move on.” They then called
me to tell me she was gone.</span></div>

had very happy memories of the short time she had with her father who died when
she was 4 1/2 years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When her mother
would get upset about something, her father would take her by the hand and tell
her “Let’s go for a walk Elva and when we get back Mama will be feeling
better.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also remembered her father
taking her and Stella and Arnold to the movies; she would get to sit on Daddy’s
lap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the scary parts, Rosalie
would hide her face under the lapel of his jacket and then she would peek out
when he would tell her it was all right to look. Rosalie said once, “He loved
movies and he loved good music too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
bought the Victrola – a hand wound Victrola and bought some very good records
... beautiful music.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alvie loved kids
and would entertain the whole neighborhood with fireworks on the Fourth of
July. He had a way of making each of his children feel very special and they
all adored him. “You won’t find anyone that will give you a bad word of any
kind about him,” Arnold said about his father. Rosalie remembered that her
father was “Tall, handsome with a very sweet disposition.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
1927, they were living in Aberdeen and purchasing a house on Simpson
Avenue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alva had forgotten to mail his
life insurance premium and gave it to his sister Calla in Seattle the day they
sailed for Victoria BC. Calla also said that he asked her to look out for his
family if anything happened to him. It was not Alvie’s turn to go out but he
only went as a favor to the owner of the company who had been Alva’s boss at
the mill in Aberdeen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Captain had
insisted on sailing in spite of bad storm warnings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tug went down during a horrible storm in
the Strait of Juan de Fuca on May 24, 1927 in the early morning hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had been last been sighted near Protection
Island, and a woman in Port Townsend reported hearing a whistle and then seeing
the lights go out in the water at 2 a.m. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When
the men from the Tugboat Company arrived in Aberdeen to tell Effa of Alva’s
death she pushed Rosalie’s head onto her lap and covered Rosalie’s ears saying,
“Don’t let Rosalie hear this!” When the children were told of their father’s
death, Arnold took off to be by himself – he felt as if he had lost his best
friend – his hero.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stella cried and
screamed for her father – her loss was unbearable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rosalie stopped speaking and did not speak
again for months – the light was gone from her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alva’s heavy woolen mackinaw was found on the
beach and brought home to the family. It was hung on the line to dry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stella picked the sand out of the pockets and
found a notebook in the inside pocket – he had written a few words about each
child in it the night he had died. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Stella
had this to say about Rosalie as a small child after the death of her father,
“she was very shy, so quiet and her eyes were big and dark—so sad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember the Walter Keane paintings?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I bought one when we visited his gallery in
San Francisco because it reminded me of Rosalie. She was too young to grasp
what had happened — we were all grieving; it was a terrible time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had a little rocker and she would sit and
rock and suck her thumb and sometimes she would cry, silently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was always obedient — never made waves
except when it came to eating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Coffee
and toast were her main diet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mother
would make a big issue of it because she was painfully thin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mother always had good, tasty meals and the
rest of us flourished.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think she
embarrassed the rest of the family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
no doubt told you about the toothpicks and salt — in spite of that and sucking
her thumb.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved her a lot and always
felt protective of her.”</span></div>

Alva’s death, Effa lost the house and moved back to Mary’s Corner with her four
children – Vina Louise had been born on March 22, 1927 and Alva had only seen
her once at the nursing home when he had taken Rosalie to see her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My Mom remembered the visit to see her new
baby sister. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He asked

herself as “obnoxious and disruptive” and the teachers at the two-room
schoolhouse definitely earned their money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She was very bright and intelligent and in an effort to keep her
challenged they ended up promoting her twice ahead of the kids her age and even
had her tutor other children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
Rosalie was caught talking and entertaining the others, she would be ordered to
write, “I will not talk in class” on the chalkboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would do so with great gusto holding two
pieces of chalk in her left hand and one in her right and writing three
sentences at a time when the teacher would leave the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since she was left handed, it was easy for
her as was writing upside down and backwards.</span></div>

liked the three of us so he got a package.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

was determined to graduate from high school AND to get her teeth fixed even
though her mother had wanted her to stay home and help her take care of the
younger brothers and sisters. As
Stella says, “Mother made the same mistake with Rosalie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She didn’t think high school was needed;
girls didn’t need an education to get married and have babies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By now I was married.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a nice roomy apartment and when Russ
heard that Rosalie wasn’t going to finish school, he suggested she come stay
with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were on Capitol Hill in the
Broadway High School district.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had
gone to summer school there and it was so dreary — like a dungeon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By now Calla knew she was with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I had been such a disappointment to
Calla).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, she took charge and I’m
glad she did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She bought Rosalie
clothes, enrolled her at Garfield High and found her a place to live with a
nice family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She did chores and mostly
took care of their two sons.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rosalie
worked as a nanny for room and board for the Westbo family who were very well
to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She played tennis with the Westbo
boys, helped them with their homework, and absolutely adored them and they
her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She attended Garfield High School
and played on the Girls’ Basketball team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is how she injured her knee that bothered her in later years with
arthritis.</span><br />

to her niece Rita, “I have the distinct honor of being Aunt Rosalie's first
born niece and from all accounts by my mother, Stella Long, I did not
disappoint her. She was only 17 years old when I was born thus enabling her to
spend her free time doting on me. While I don't remember specific details, I
know we spent time having picnics and playing at Volunteer Park while I was
very young. I'm sure the abundance of love she gave to me from the very
beginning is what made our bond so special.”</span></div>

forever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we got out of the theater,
our eyes were red and bleary — Bettie Davis always made us cry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our treat was hamburgers at a hole in the
wall cafe — it didn’t seat more than ten at a counter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The good part was they only charged 5 cents

they were <u>so</u> good.”</span></div>

baby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aunt Calla was with me and she was

the Music Hall Theater downtown Seattle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

met Lionell Mitchell when she was attempting to purchase her favorite candy
bar. The clerk kept trying to persuade her to buy something else and she was
quite persistent about what she wanted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Lionell admired her spunk and struck up a conversation with her. I am
not sure when this happened but they were in love and writing letters to each
other when Rosalie went home to her mother’s in Toledo in late October
1939.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs. Westbo had become jealous of
Rosalie’s relationship with her sons so Rosalie went home to help her mother
who was expecting another child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Myrna
Lee was born November 13, 1939. </span></div>

had met Lionell and approved of him and the family was eager to meet him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While in Toledo, Rosalie and Vina would
attend the local dances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arnold and
Stella would go with them when they visited. By early December 1939, Effa was
urging Rosalie to do something with the scholarship so she could be independent
and have a career (this change of mind might have had something to do with Effa
just having her ninth child).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lionell
was in Seattle and looking for work since they couldn’t be married until he
found a job. By the middle of December, Rosalie was planning on returning to
Seattle in January 1940 to work and to start attending school, but she was
needed by her Grandfather JT to help take care of her Grandmother Mattie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mattie was very ill with a “toxic goiter”
which they were not able to operate on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mattie was sent home from the hospital since there was nothing to be
done for her and she was not expected to recover.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

early March 1940, Rosalie was still at her grandparent’s house at Mary’s
Corner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lionell was still unable to find
a job in Seattle and had been thinking about heading to Texas to find
work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mattie died March 21, 1940, and
Rosalie returned to Seattle after that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It must have been during this time that she used her scholarship and
attended Business College in Seattle since she was unable to afford a four-year
college. </span></div>

precious! To me, she was more like an older sister than a
"sister-in-law". I was only about six years old when she married my
oldest brother Lionell. And I was lucky enough to live only a few blocks away
from their apartment.” They didn’t move again until September of 1941 when they

that she allowed me to play with. I still remember removing the record from its
jacket, placing it on the turntable and then ever so carefully lowering the arm
and placing the needle in the first groove. Kind of a tricky thing to
accomplish while the record was going round and round.”</span></div>

one record that I couldn't seem to get enough of was of Marion Anderson singing
Ave Maria. The sound quality of the record left much to be desired but I loved
it and played it over and over and over. In hindsight, I'm sure I was the
reason the sound became so scratchy. I think if it had been anybody else, they
would have hidden the record from me but she never admonished me in any way.”</span></div>

April 1947 Mitch went into business for himself doing work on radios. In
January 1948 the Mitchells moved from the Galer Crest Apartment after six years
there to Northwest 92<sup>nd</sup> Street in the Crown Hill neighborhood which
at that time was outside the Seattle city limits. They lived there until April
when they moved in at 1214 East Columbia Street with Lionell’s mother Ruby
Champlin who was a widow now. Once they moved to a house, Rosalie put a stop to
the midnight socials with Terry and after he cried most of the first night in
the new house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that he then slept
every night straight through or at least played quietly alone. </span></div>

the street. They moved to 14310 24<sup>th</sup> Place NE in Lake City before
Terry started First Grade in 1952. The house only had two bedrooms so Mitch
built a room in the basement for the boys. As Rosalie always did, she painted
and wallpapered.</span></div>

touch of green, brittle split ends and fuzz or frizz (lots of that).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She called me one morning after one of our

going to kill myself!’ (Joking, of course).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

friend of Lionell’s had a little girl and Lionell thought she was just
enchanting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rosalie took this
opportunity to convince him they should try again. As with both the boys, she
was horribly sick with morning sickness all day long. Rosalie’s 1939 Plymouth
Coupe had broken down so Mitch had sold it to make sure Rosalie had cab fare in
case she went into labor. Stella would come over and visit Rosalie at least
once a week. Rosalie was now one week overdue and Stella spent the evening with
her – they made fried chicken, had a couple of beers (after debating on whether
or not they should) and laughed a lot. She went into labor that night and Maeva
Rosalie was born at Virginia Mason Hospital on March 1953 at 5:30 a.m. Rosalie
was absolutely thrilled to finally have a daughter, but she didn’t quite
believe the news.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the nurse handed
me to her, Rosalie laughed and said, “She would have a nose like mine!” (I had
scratched my face and nose soon after birth and it had swollen.) The nurse then
threatened to take me away if she wasn’t nice. The nurse cautioned her not to
un-wrap the new baby, but Rosalie un-wrapped me the minute the nurse left the
room to make sure she had a girl with 10 toes and 10 fingers. Her nurse also
convinced her not to spell my name “Maevè” and to use “Maeva” instead so it
would be easier to pronounce.</span></div>

moved to Auburn and learned to drive because as she said, “I had to see Rosalie

permanently. Those were great times—we seemed to agree on everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We never quarreled or had bad feelings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both loved good books, movies and could
talk for hours about everything and everyone!!” I remember a story that Stella
told me once about my mother. Stella came over to visit and found Mom making
Lisa and I new dresses. Why? She didn’t want to iron the ones she had washed.
Rosalie was famous for hating to iron. Stella ended up taking several baskets
of ironing home with her to iron to help Rosalie get caught up.</span></div>

Dorothy – “By the time Maevè and Lisa arrived, I was already married so,
unfortunately I didn't have time to do much baby-sitting for the girls. But
Rosalie would call often and invite Dick & me to join them at "the

all! Most of all, I remember that sweet sound of Rosalie's laughter - I miss

following is from my Cousin Chris. “I’ve had eight aunts that I’ve known and

of them (that I knew) to one degree or another — sometimes more, sometimes
less, depending upon my age and circumstances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But one always — from my earliest memory — stands out as the favorite
and she is my Aunt Rosalie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just the act
of writing that down makes me tear up. I’m sure my love for her has a lot to do
with her relationship with my mom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
always had <u>such</u> a good time together, with lots of laughter, that I’m
sure I decided early on that she was FUN!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And that is the foremost attribute that I ascribe to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I’m sure she had more good qualities than
you could shake a stick at — but when I picture Aunt Rosalie I see her laughing
(and often smoking) and just being full of fun.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“There
were two things she gave me that stand out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was trying to determine why they made such a big impression on me and
I think it was because they both took a fair amount of work and that told me
she loved me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had visible, tangible
proof that my favorite aunt cared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
I was about 10 I got sick and was out of school and in bed for about three
months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rosalie gave me a storybook doll
for which she sewed and crocheted several outfits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I absolutely LOVED it and spent countless
hours during the illness playing with that doll.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>so</u></i>
careful with her; I didn’t even mess up her hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cherished my doll, kept it and saved it and
when I had Melissa I wanted to share it with her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I deemed her old enough, I let her play
with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think she only got about two
chances and then I just had to take it back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She simply wasn’t being careful enough with it — that doll demanded
reverence!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know that I ever even
showed it to Ashley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At any rate, I
still have it, safely put away, long untouched but still cherished”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“The
other gift was a special birthday cake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again it was a dark-haired storybook doll. Its ‘dress’ was a decorated
cake a la Gone with the Wind — full, bouffant skirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t remember how old I was, but Mom and I
both knew it was far too beautiful to cut and eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we never did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We just admired it for some time always
keeping it safely wrapped in plastic for years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve wondered if it was Rosalie’s intent for the cake to be eaten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope she wouldn’t be disappointed that it
wasn’t, but there was no way we could have taken a knife to that gorgeous
frosting dress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eat it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unthinkable!!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Chris’
older sister Rita had this to say about her Aunt Rosalie. “I remember times
spent with Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Mitch and my cousins, Marc and Terry,
sometimes at their home but mostly at big family gatherings like the 4th of
July picnics held at a park or lake, with wonderful food and enough fireworks
to satisfy any kid. Family get-togethers also included some wonderful times
spent during the holidays. By this time my cousins Maeve and Lisa had joined
the family. There was always an abundance of food, bordering on the obscene.
All the Tucker women are good cooks and Aunt Rosalie was no exception. I
remember Aunt Rosalie as being the commander-in-chief at these functions; she
had many wonderful qualities but organization was definitely her forte. She
always seemed to know what to do, when to do it and <u>who</u> should do it.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“I'm
sure she started becoming interested in home decor right around the time she
spent a weekend with my Mom, Stella, wallpapering the living room of the house
we were living in, in Auburn. Once again, her organizational skills were put to
the test and the job was finished with a minimum of problems and a maximum of
laughter. I also remember they rewarded themselves with seemingly endless games
of pinochle and a few "suds" during that weekend. Actually, that
describes a number of their sister-fests. I always loved it when the two of
them were together. Sometimes when they got to reminiscing about their
childhood and the death of their father, it was sad, but more often than not
their tales were hilarious. Aunt Rosalie's sense of humor and her quick wit and
infectious laugh made for a great storyteller. Her zest for life was such that
even the bad times couldn't keep her down for very long.”</span></div>

things I remember reflect more on her character as a person than specific
occasions. To those who won't have the opportunity of ever knowing her, I would
want them to know she was creative, intelligent, competitive, fun,
enthusiastic, loving, fearless, tender, hard-working and a delight to all who
knew her. She definitely left her mark on our family. She was such a treasure
in my life and I miss her.”</span></div>

Six hours of card making until midnight on Saturday and then up and down to Puyallup for six hours of quilting. My left arm was just killing me.<br />

Each 42" strip of fabric will do eight "A" arcs and eight "B" arcs. I just have three 21" strips left to finish the first sets. Then a mere 104 more 42" strips to finish the arcs. I won't be even starting on them until today.<br />
<br />
The next class is on Sunday, October 5th which follows a Glacier Star quilting class Saturday 10 to 5 and a movie premiere in Edmonds Saturday night of <a href="http://www.thelastrescue.com/" target="_blank">The Last Rescue</a>. Overbooked again.<br />
<br />
Which is also what is happening the next month - Glacier Star class Saturday, November 1st 10 to 5, card making 6 to midnight and then Bali Wedding Star final class on Sunday 10 to 4.<br />

I was then curious about how the center of the quilt was going to look so I laid them out together.<br />

<br />
<br />
I then set out the blocks from technique 1 -<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Technique 5 will go in between and join everything together. I was going to do that next but I have a 104 42" long fabric strips to sew to the A and B arcs of the Bali Wedding Star quilt - in a mere two weeks - now down to one week.<br />

<span style="color: black;">On May 25, 1927, her young life
would change and be forever influenced by a tragic event: her father, Alva, who
by all accounts was a good, kind man and who provided well for his family,
drowned when the tugboat he was on went down at sea.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Photos taken May 1927
with Big Sister Elva, and Mom being held by beloved Aunt Mayme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Had there been a funeral, I would say these
were taken on that day, but perhaps there were taken on the day of the drowning
or in the following days.</span></i>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Mom and her older siblings who
could have expected moderate advantages in life, were rather quickly thrust
into poverty and all of the social and economic issues that accompany that
circumstance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grandma and her children
moved to Mary’s Corner in Lewis County on or near the property where Grandma’s
parents, Mattie and JT Graves lived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">By all accounts, others were sad
for Mom because she had no chance to know her loving father, which resulted in
two things. First, she was doted on and probably spoiled to make up for a
missing father, hence, the debate about whether or not she was a wonderful
child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, she was adorable with
white-blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes, full of sunshine and life, just the
type of child who may have been doted on anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Secondly, Grandma had a lovely large
photograph of Alva, 2-year-old Stella and herself in an oval frame that always
hung on her wall, even two husbands later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was as much a part of Grandma’s house as the beautiful clock, the
family bible and a few other memorable pieces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This photograph belonged to Mom, and there was never any doubt it would
go to her upon Grandma’s death. It did,
and it continued to hang on the wall, but now in Mom and Dad’s bedroom. When I
walked to the kitchen, I would glance into the bedroom and imagined Grandma and
my grandfather watching over me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
day, as I was passing through, I suddenly saw how much my brother, Jeff, looked
like our grandfather.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom was pleased to
discover this, and from that moment on, we all knew the photo would always
belong to Jeff. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Mom loved music and dancing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She sat at the pump organ at church and
taught herself to play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She played by
ear and taught herself to also play the piano and accordion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The love of music and dancing was such that a
dancer in Mary’s Corner gave her lessons in tap and acrobatics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s unclear if this was done out of the
kindness of her heart, or if Mattie or Grandma found the money to channel Mom's
passion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s highly unlikely it was
Mattie, because anything expressive done with the body was the work of the
devil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">The transition from living near her grandparents to having
a new step-father, Warren Nixon, is a bit hazy, and an issue Mom didn’t really
talk about in terms of time frames.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within
a couple of years, Grandma married Warren Nixon, and had a son, Jack, but that
marriage ended when Jack was a toddler.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Mom had 2 more younger siblings in addition to Jack as a
result of a relationship Grandma had with a man she hadn’t married. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>The
shame from this situation, as well as a legal issue involving this man and Mom caused
a split in the family when Mom was 8.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
carried the burden of her older siblings’ anger and inability to forgive their
mother over this situation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Older siblings were moving out and three younger siblings were
being born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One can only imagine the
chaos and instability she experienced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Poverty was still an issue, and Mom’s family was so poor that she was
unable to attend school for a period of time because she had no dresses to
wear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She never forgot how her brother,
Arnold bought her two dresses so she could return to school. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">The stress of too many children and too little money resulted
in the kind of anger in Grandma that only fear can produce and she and Mom
started having conflicts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom was 14 and
in her own words, was a little too big for her own britches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When her mother told her to leave, she had no
idea where to go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She went to the docks
(not sure where) where her aunt, Irma, was living on a boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a somewhat frantic tone, Irma told her she
had to get away from there because it wasn’t safe for her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Irma didn’t know where Mom could go, but she
told her she could not be at Irma’s boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Mom grew up and put the pieces of rumors together, she realized
that Irma was desperate for her to leave the docks because Irma was a “working
woman.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When other family members wanted
to pooh-pooh the rumors about Irma, Mom was quick to confirm that Irma was
indeed a woman who was generous with her body.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Mom didn’t say whether or not she went back home or stayed
someplace else, but at 15 she became pregnant and married a soldier, Larry
Bortell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were living in Michigan
when her son, Larry was born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Enough
said about this mess.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">After Mom obtained a divorce, she was living in the
Longview area with Larry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She needed a
fresh start, and wrote to her beloved Aunt Mayme who had long ago divorced Mom’s
worthless uncle, Vern Graves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mayme had
remarried to Bob Nelson, and had two toddlers, born almost exactly a year
apart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She could use the help, and
invited Mom to come to Packwood, WA and stay with her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Enter the tall, dark, handsome semi-stranger:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mayme had a ”baby brother,” Teck who had been
home from the war for a year or so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mayme introduced Teck and Mom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Music played, fireworks filled the sky and quite possibly within 48
hours, they were an item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Needless to
say, Mayme didn’t get much help with those two toddlers.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Dad, Mom and Larry lived in the Packwood area while Dad
worked in construction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After Dad
injured his foot, they moved into a cabin on the Cowlitz River on the Carr Road
property owned by Dad's <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>brother,
Eddie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom’s younger sisters, Myrna and
Cleta stayed with them there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That same
year, Dad heard about a job opening in Mt. Rainier National Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He applied and got the job which became one
of their best experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom also got
a job at the park, and between the two of them, they earned $21 a day, which
was a wage they could live on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad, Mom
and Larry camped out in a Quonset hut that had a cook stove and running water.
Mom’s sister, Rosalie and her sons, Marc and Terry, stayed in the park with them and then
Rosalie’s husband, Mitch joined them on the weekends. They had numerous
experiences with Mother Nature, including an encounter with a hungry bear that
decided to relieve them of some of their vittles.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">There were challenging times and good times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grandma Chris died on December 20, and that
same year, two of Dad’s brothers drowned in a car accident on Christmas
Eve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to his grief, Dad and
Mom were both dealing with his misunderstood and undiagnosed PTSD from WWII.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The difficult pregnancy with Jeff was caused by the placenta separating, and Mom required complete bed
rest, trying to avoid further separation until the baby could develop enough to
survive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During that time, I was 2 and
was sent to live with Mom’s sister, Stella.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Larry stayed in Seattle with Mom’s brother and his wife, Arnold and
Laura.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeff was born 2 months early,</span>
and thrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ten months later, Mom was
pregnant with Steven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had not yet
recovered from the stress of the previous pregnancy, and although this last
pregnancy was uneventful, it was followed by a severe postpartum depression
and psychosis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Always a mother who
fought for her children, Mom refused to be hospitalized and stayed home to care
for her family as best she could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
later confessed that she was terrified that if she agreed to be hospitalized,
she would never get out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given the
times, that fear was not irrational. Her doctor was unsympathetic, and she
struggled for 5 years to recover.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
A
significant contributor to Mom’s recovery was that she was asked to apply for a
job at the Packwood Lumber Mill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The job
required her to calculate board feet of lumber and she didn’t think she could
do it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a reflection of her
insecurities over having an 8<sup>th</sup> grade education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, her friend and neighbor, Jean Russel
convinced her she could do it, and said she’d work with her until she mastered
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom interviewed with the General
Manager, Larry Ostrom, and he hired her!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was grateful to Larry and when we prepared to move away from
Packwood to Battle Ground to be closer to Dad’s job, Larry was sorry to lose
her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He convinced her to come back and
work the following summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She may not
have had an adequate education, but she was definitely smart, and Larry’s
invitation to return for the summer was the confirmation she needed.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Despite those challenges, the house was filled with
musicians, music, singing and Mom’s tap dancing across the kitchen floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both Mom and Dad were self-taught musicians
and their voices were beautiful together. Mom loved being surrounded by beauty, and
would not only paint and hang wall paper, but was also known for giving home
permanents to neighbors who also wanted a bit of beauty for themselves. She sewed, and I especially loved it when she
made doll clothes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Saturday evenings,
Mom would whip up a plate of peanut butter fudge and make buttered
popcorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The trick was to accomplish
both in time for all of us to gather around the television and watch “Twilight
Zone” and the “Alfred Hitchcock Show.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">A remnant left from Mom’s childhood was evident.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad worked in the woods, and Mom frequently
expressed to her children that she didn’t want him to go to work with angry
words between them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She always said if
something happened to him in the woods, she wanted to know that she had kissed
him good-bye.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It made me wonder if
Grandma had been angry the last day that Alva had left for work and had not
kissed him before he left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other
issue that I suspect was connected to her father’s drowning, was that she was
terrified of water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we waded in any
body of water up to our knees, she could be heard yelling at us to go no
further.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad was no fan of water either
and it’s no small miracle that my brothers and I managed to dog paddle, let
alone swim and dive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Falling trees was dangerous work, and one day while I was
at a friend’s house, an ambulance went past us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had an eerie feeling, but was too young to understand what that
was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Mom called me home, (by
yelling, not by telephone), she told me that Dad had broken his arm. To me, this meant his arm had broken off, and
I was scared that I would be afraid of him without an arm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It turns out he was struck by a “widow
maker,” two limbs crossing over each other and coming down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Typically this was a fatal event, but Dad
survived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was time to leave the
woods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad then worked in the mill, but
that was shutting down, so he got a job at a new International Paper plywood
mill in Chelatchie Prairie, WA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We left
everything and everyone familiar and moved to Battle Ground. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Although there was a lot of love and grace between Dad and Mom,
life caught up with them and their marriage ended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They couldn’t live with one another and they
couldn’t live without one another. Despite divorcing, they continued to see each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only way Mom could figure out how to make
the break was to impulsively marry someone she had known for only 3 weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One day she was living her life, and the next
she was calling from Reno saying she was married.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black;">This third husband, Bob Patterson, proved to be Mom’s
demise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Too late, she discovered that he
was a controlling, abusive, compulsive gambler.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She became a woman controlled by fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was Bob’s daughter, Sharon, who called Mom out and exposed the cover
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Mom reported she had been in a
car accident and hit her face on the back of the seat causing extensive bruising,
Sharon said, “You haven’t been in a car accident.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My dad did this.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom had been a strong, confident
woman and it was hard to imagine her staying in this situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I begged her to leave and stay with me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She wouldn’t because she knew Bob would come looking for her and she was
afraid he wouldn’t be satisfied just killing her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was afraid he would kill me and my
children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As always, she was still
looking out for and fighting for her children.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">However, a bright spot was that she still loved to dance,
and said she heard about a tap class for adults.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I convinced her to sign up for the class, and
on about September 12, 1979, we shopped for her new tap shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the shoe box under her arm, she moved
down the sidewalk with more joy that I had seen in a long, long time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Living in fear took its toll; regardless of numerous
changes in medication, her doctor was unable to get her blood pressure under
control.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On September 19, 1979, at 52, my
mother died from a massive heart attack. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Eleven days before Mom passed, her second granddaughter,
Chivonne, was born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom and I had gone
to Packwood to visit Aunt Mayme and Uncle Bob.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stopped by my brother Jeff’s on our way home to meet this beautiful
baby.</span><br />

<li><span style="color: black;">I think that each of Mom’s
children secretly believes s/he was her favorite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s an amazing mother who can accomplish
that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span><span style="color: black;">Her homemade cinnamon
rolls were an act of love, and to this day, if I walk past a Cinnabon store and
smell that fragrance of yeast dough and cinnamon baking, I’m flooded with the
feeling of being loved. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">She was the peacemaker
in her family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before Grandma died, each
of Mom’s older siblings re-established a relationship with their mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom could release the burden. </span></li>

that beautiful last memory of the joy she found in buying the tap shoes and
anticipating the opportunity to resurrect her love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></li>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9HNZVvpl-is/VBuuWbWc3xI/AAAAAAAABT8/WYkCzITPLts/s1600/DSCF2036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9HNZVvpl-is/VBuuWbWc3xI/AAAAAAAABT8/WYkCzITPLts/s1600/DSCF2036.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And then by Wednesday night I finished the other half -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5q_zyCVkKRE/VBuui5xUE3I/AAAAAAAABUE/B1hsnYC85zU/s1600/DSCF2038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5q_zyCVkKRE/VBuui5xUE3I/AAAAAAAABUE/B1hsnYC85zU/s1600/DSCF2038.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now all that is left is to sew the two pieces together -<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6K3l2O9rvY/VBuuyNim1QI/AAAAAAAABUM/LfzfnxJPHfE/s1600/DSCF2040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6K3l2O9rvY/VBuuyNim1QI/AAAAAAAABUM/LfzfnxJPHfE/s1600/DSCF2040.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It should look roughly like this -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sDf_htN4idI/VBuu8zrsICI/AAAAAAAABUU/O2vR6i18f9s/s1600/DSCF2039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sDf_htN4idI/VBuu8zrsICI/AAAAAAAABUU/O2vR6i18f9s/s1600/DSCF2039.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And then I need to sew each one to the end of these -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Tonight I was working on trying to put pictures in tomorrow's blog post my cousin did for her mother - sometime Blogger is just a little unfriendly. I hope to sew these together and then piece them to the end of the other two blocks tomorrow night.<br />

Franklin Harrison Usher and Georgianna Katherine Ragan Tucker ran off together
on January 21, 1897 they took Annie and William Tucker’s baby Edwin Monroe
Tucker with them (he was 8 ½ months old – born May 7, 1896) and left Henry (7
years old) and Alvie (5 years old) home alone. They left Silver Creek, Lewis
County, Washington and headed to Del Norte County, California where they later
married. William Tucker was awarded custody of all three boys but Annie never
brought Edwin back. William Tucker did not see Edwin again until he had grown
up.</span></div>

1900 Frank and Annie Usher were living at Columbia City, Columbia, Oregon with
one year old Sidney and four year old Edwin. Three sisters were also born but
one died at six months, one at two and one at age three. Their fifth child and
fourth daughter Clara Ella Usher was born on December 1, 1907 at Houlton, on
the Yankton Road, Columbia, Oregon. Houlton is now part of St. Helens, Oregon.
In April 1910 they are living on their own farm in Columbia County, Oregon. Ed is
not listed with the Usher’s on the 1910 Census. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Ed’s
youngest brother George LeRoy Usher was born on August 4, 1910. </span>Ed was raised as an Usher with the Usher name. Edwin did not find out
he wasn’t an Usher until he was almost grown up and was very upset about it.</span></div>

(Stillwater, King County, Washington) 416 Aero Squadron Construction 1 BAP
(Bureau of Aircraft Production which was part of the Spruce Production Division)
until July 16, 1918 when it became Detachment 33 Spruce Squadron. While in the
Spruce Division, Ed worked at getting out Spruce tree logs to be made into
airplanes. It is very tough wood. According to Finn J.D. John of Oregon State
University, “at least one out of three Allied fighter planes built during 1918
were made primarily with Oregon spruce. The wood is extremely rigid and
lightweight. Furthermore, as it turned out, it wouldn’t shatter when hit with a
rifle bullet. Early plane builders had discovered that old-growth spruce
especially Sitka spruce was the best wood to use. Germany had access to Norway
spruce and the Allies had massive stands of Sitka spruce on the Central Oregon
Coast.” The second largest stand of Sitka spruce was located in Clallam County,
Washington with other stands located throughout Washington, California, and
Alaska.</span></div>

Washington. On September 24, 1918, Anna Usher wrote Ed’s brother Alva a letter
while he was stationed at Aviation Camp 2, 866 Aero Squadron at Garden City,
Long Island, New York. Anna asks her son, “Did Edwin send you a picture of his
sweetheart. She looks to be a dandy fine girl. They tell me she is a good
Christian and that will help Edie to be a better boy as there is a lot in the
company one keeps.”</span></div>
