Ardis M. Jamison, Foster family collection

Collection contains two volumes. The first is a photocopy of an original journal kept by Susie Foster. The second volume includes a transcript of the journal, a history of the Foster family by Olive Foster Clark, and photocopies of family letters and photographs.

Susie Foster's journal begins with an entry in 1886 in Texas and then records family life in California, 1891 to 1898. The family left California for Lewiston, Idaho in 1898 where they lived before filing a claim on Craig Mountain. They remained in Idaho until 1899 when they moved to Tekoa, Washington.
