On this day in 1930 – Fishing without a license, Prairie Club

black-woman-girl-thinking-white-cartoon-writingEntry from Journal #1: July 4, 1930

A. Schaffer, Wm Rumping, Miss May Iverson, went up to the Shokipee mine, and myself.  I caught my first fish to-day and sure put it in my pocket as I had no license.  A party of people of the Prairie Club are spending the summer in Marysville staying at the Drum Lummond Hotel.

This is a photo of Mary taken several years after this journal entry – but it seemed like the perfect time to share it.

Happy 4th Everyone!!

George and Mary

This photo of Mary and George was taken in 1898 in Wilborn, Montana, which is about 13 miles northwest of Marysville.  It may be the only photo we have of the two of them together prior to their wedding in August, 1900.
