Lotta was so interested in the Cemetery that she made molds and cast in cement, all the headstones. It seems a tragedy to us that in the end, I~otta and her brother Melvin Sutton were not buried in the cemetery they created. There are nearly two dozen graves in this little cemetery and in order to read the inscriptions, it is ncce~ary to scrape the moss away. Even to get into the clear- ing, one must wade through the huckleberry and salal brush. May- be this is not Harstine News to some, but it may be to others, so we plan from time to time to print the result~ of our research and eventually get it into a small book form. Probably few people on Harstine realize that the living room area of the present home of the John Hitchcocks was formerly the BaN low School House. Built by John Hitchcocks father, W. A. Hitch- cock.

In 1944 the Fosters mov- ed to Tacoma, where he became Director of The Washington State Historical Society, which position he retired in 1959. Mr. and Mrs. Foster were given a three months trip to the Holy Land and Europe by members of the Society Board and others. They are now living in a cottage at Wesley Gardens and are frequent visitors on Har- stine. According to Mable Haskel Har- riman (Mrs. Earl Harriman) our former Ferry Captains wife, who we used to call Mrs. Ferryman, for she was a veritable, "Tug Boat Annie", serving as deck hand when no one else was available, the first school on Harstine was at Jarrells Cove near Helen Simons present house, lVfable came to Harstine in 1900 by boat from Tacoma. She landed at Ballow and came to the Haskel land, now Saegers, by horse and wagon over rough logging roads, oxen type in those days Mable attended school at JarrelL, cove except in summer, when she went over to Ballow school, which had summer school. Don't think for a minute she commuted back and forth on a Honda, from her home near Jarrells Cove to BaN low! She went over to Ballow ant stayed the three summer months WHILE OVER VISITING with the Dale Peughs and seeing all their activities, garden, cabinet shop etc. we strolled up the beach to the adjoining properties.

If anyone has any trash or trea- sures to give away, take them to the Nurses home next to Shelton General Hospital, where things are being collected for the Annual Trash and Treasure sale at the PUD Building Nov. 19. While de- positing things was shown a most beautiful treasure for sale, a hand woven and embroidered linen ta- ble cloth which just arrived from Germany. New and never used, the donor cannot use it because of clash in decor in her home. Even if you have no intention in buying, worth going to sale, just see the table cloth. Mr. and Mrs. H. E.
