Snoqualmy falls is a wonderful sight to see, a large river and sutch a heavy sheet of water falling 280 feet in a deap canyon winding its way for many miles away a fine rainbow is seene all the time when the sun shines, our son is living at the falls they have 2 little girls, the other picture was taken in Balboa Park here in the city, a lady friend and hur 14 year son was down from washington they spent a weak or 10 days with us and she had a camera and took it in the park, now in regard to those questions I have answered I would not vouch as for there being all of them being rite up to the year day and date, but have gave it my careful thoughtful study cince receiving them from you and it is the best I can do for you, you see the moste of it hapened while I was verry young, can onley just remember of seeing mother lying in the cofin in the cold icy arms Death and a large company of people gathered there and they took hur away, that was the last of poor mother but I hope to see hur again where parting will be no more. Father went back to Canada in 1855 and went by the way of Painsville, Ohio to see his sister and hur name I think was Patty, and hur son came to us and settled in Minnesota that is the way he came to get aquainted with Mary Dexter, there was arangements made the folks there to ceep hur while she lived as aunt Paty owned the place, Hazelton was their names.
