Comments for Blackman House Museum, 1878 http://blackmanhouse.org HISTORIC DOWNTOWN SNOHOMISH, WASHINGTON Sun, 24 Jan 2010 02:02:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 Comment on Sunday Afternoons at the Blackman House by Ed Andersosn http://blackmanhouse.org/2009/02/sundays-afternoon-at-the-blackman-house/comment-page-1/#comment-564 Ed Andersosn Sun, 24 Jan 2010 02:02:42 +0000 http://www.blackmanhouse.net/?p=191#comment-564 Regarding Frances Wood and her book "Down to Camp", my great grandmother was born Lillian Blackman, in Maine in about 1868. 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 was very impressed with everything. I wish that more residents of Snohomish knew how interesting and fun their Historical Society is and how lucky we are to have an organization in place that is committed to preservation and offerings of interest to their community. Thank you for the work you have started at collecting oral histories from our senior residents before their stories are lost forever. Again, thank you for a class act that you put together for our general meeting on November 16. I enjoyed the video presentation and Tim Noah's beautiful "historical" song that he composed and performed. Everything was lovely and the champagne toast to our town's 150th was splendid! Gratefully yours, Ardie McLean Dear Snohomish Historical Society Board of Trustees:
