| Title | Campbell and Corliss families near tents at Chautauqua, 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.
This 1890 photo shows a group of people gathered near some platform tents at Chautauqua, Vashon Island. James Corliss stands in the center, and his wife, Mary Jane, sits on the platform just to the left. Judging by other photos in the collection, the woman seated to the right of Mr. Campbell is Eva M. Corliss. The two remaining people are Laverne Campbell and Jessie Reeves. Search under "Corliss family" or "Campbell family" for related photos. |
