| Title | Campbell and Corliss families with tree stump, 1890 |
| Photographer | Unknown |
| Date | 1890 |
| Caption | Members and friends of the Campbell and Corliss families spent part of the summer of 1890 at Chautauqua (now Ellisport) on Vashon Island. They may have been members of the Puget Sound Chautauqua Assembly which met on the island at that time. Inspired by the year-around educational activities of the Chautauqua Assembly in New York State, a local group started the Puget Sound Chautauqua Assembly on Vashon Island in 1885.
In this 1890 photo, a group of men, women and children has gathered at an immense burned-out stump. One person (third from left) peers out through a hole in the stump. Notes on the back of the photo identify only James Campbell (center) and his wife Mary Jane (far right), but some of the people occur in other photos in the collection. |
