She was the daughter of Almon and Marcia Blackman. Almon was a first cousin to the 3 well known Blackman brothers. Almon came out to Snohomish county about 10 years after these 3 cousins. Lillian Blackman married Walter P. Bell in 1890, they lived in Snohomish and they also had a cabin on this beach on Whidbey. From my family I inherited several photo albums which have many pictures of this beach, the people and cabins from the very early years of the 20th century. The pictures are in very good condition and most contain captions providing information on when the pictures were taken and who was in them. What is every bit as interesting is Lillian's daughter Doris (born 1897) kept diarys during this time and I have all her diarys where she talks about the people and happenings on this beach and in Snohomish in those early years.

I have referenced it several times already in conversations with my children. In fact, my kids asked me a question the other day that I could not answer...maybe you can. We went to Pilchuck Park and they asked if it was named after Pilchuck Julia. Or, was she named after the river that she lived along?" This message via email from Heather Norris:
