transcribed from original microfilm; Onieda County Court House held with the County Clerk; who searched through their records and made copies. (91) According
to the Maple Valley Historical Society, per phone conversation, there was no direct train route from Maple Valley to Shelton in 1910. Daily trains ran from Maple Valley
to Seattle. Through an indirect route, a train did run from Seattle to Shelton; it is probable that Nettie and Alma went by train, due to the time of year they were
traveling; however, Tony Ellison remembers riding in the back of the wagon during their supply trips to Olympia, Washington, suggesting that a wagon was commonly
used. (92) Rose Gorham; descendant of Rachel (Fry) Gorich, has graciously provided information on the Fry family.
