Mementoes Bring Memories From Local Demecrals
Life Of Former Union School Teacher
By Ethel Dalby
UNION We are the honored
recipient of a letter from a very
dear old=time friend, and former
resident of Mason County, Mrs.
Jean Todd Fredson and of late
of Yakima. The letter included two
rather priceless keepsakes Mrs.
Fredson's epic poem entitled "A
Legend of Sthuootdus" and which
was written by her many years
ago, and also lost for a period of
20 or 25 years.
The lost poem was found when
Mrs. Fredson moved from her
home in ShelLon. and on packing
her belongings, to the home of her
daughter Betty Austin at Yakima
with whom she now makes her
home. "The Legend of Sthuook-
lns" consists of 28 verses, and is
based upon ,an early Indian leg-
end she heard as a young woman.
when she first taught school at
Union.
The poem also as do many In-
dian fables deals in fantasy, and
also some of historic happenings
of early times. The tale cente/-ed
upon a large rock. located on the
beach at Union. south of the for-
mer Jessie Pritchard cottage.
According to old fables of the
Skokomish people, the rock was
said to have a power. Ttie ancients
on passing the rock in their large
old cedar canoes, somethnes came
close to shore. "sometimes patting
it. and murmuring in delate--
"South wind blow" when they xieret
on their way to Tahuya, or the
north shore bf Hood Canal, where
they had excellent clam beds. 2tnd
also cainpihg places vhere they
dried the clams they dug, while.
ehj0ying a camp out in thor
klisquis, or rush Shelters. "Little'
Flyb!ow '' and "FlyBlow" ih the
narrows, having been a couple of
their favorite camp grounds as
late as 40 years ago old Hudson
Bay trade beads and arrow heads
were found scattered in the area
of an 01d-time Indian barrel ptace,
under the large old madionit trees,
by others and also ourselves.
The other rare old time relic
is a faded old snap shot Mrs.
Fredson Look at the float house of
the Slocums at Oakland Bay, in
1900 or thei'e abouts. Slocum was
said to haw Been the fouhder of
the Shaker religion, and which be-
lief is now wide spread in Indian
tribes of the Pacific Northwest Of
the old-Lime snap shot Mrs. Fred-
son writes briefly, A snap shot. I
Look of "Auhty Slocum" and "her
man" way back in the 1900's or
thereab0uts, when they lived in
their floaLhouse at Oakland Bay".
The later famed religions leader
and discbverer of the Shaker
church, is pictured as he sat bare-
footed, with an old slouch felt hat
atop his head of long dark hair.
and worn as long as the pageboy
hair style.
In his hands +he held a stout
cane. His gaze is directed at the
camera." Aunty Slocum" as Mrs.
Fredson called his wife is of neat
appearance, clad in dark hotise
dress and with hair pinned back
and wo up. She wears a shawl
draped across her right shoulder,
and although her feet are hidden
by her somewhat crouched posi-
tion, one feels the lady is wearing
shoes. She also has light colored
beads on, they show a little at
the neckline of her dark dress.
The entrance to the. float house
is open, and a piece of fish net,
perhaps gill net. hangs from a pro-
jecting rafter.
We rather imagine.the member
and leaders of the Skokomish Sha-
ker church would appreciate see-
ing this old-time print, of their
revered leader and founder of the
Shaker chm'ch,
The poem "A Legend of Sthuoo-
klus" begins and also ends with
the same Verse. Quot:

All on a shimmering autumn af-

Evoked from out the shadows of
the past.
This story of "Sthuooldus". The
stanzas in between are dramatic.
and colorful, and also beautifully
expressed and written. It is in-
scribed to "The Dalbys and Un-
ion"-, perhaps Mrs. Fredson real-
ly meant--the early name Nell
Andersen prefers, Union City.
A-little past 93 years of age,
this remarkable and loveable old-
time school teacher of Union and
Mid Skokomish schools of yester-
years and at one time County Su-
perintendent of schools is mentally
as keen and alert as many a youn-
ger person Her keen sense of hu-
mor makes life enjoyable dispite
the faeL that she is having a little
eye trouble, and which somewhat
limits her painting of delightful
aod dainty miniature landscapes
of the rural scenery she glimpses
from tier window and porch at Ya-
kima. It may be said--4he song "I
Love Life" expresses the attitude
of rs. Jean TOdd Fredson Her
former pupils of Masoh County
and their children, have a deep
regard and affection for this lady.
THE MEMORIAL Day weekend
which started so lovely and als0
