I made two quick stops in Sequim at Rite Aid and Walgreens. Was hoping to find a curling iron like the one I have that blows hot air like a hair dryer. They must not make them anymore because I've hunted in three or four places. Finally just bought a hot iron roller thingie. Stopped at the library in Port Angeles as I had a book in. Life among the Modocs from the 1930's. They borrowed it from another library for me.
I did a little bit of research on one of my grandpa's brothers -- James Summer. (Or Sumner, I'm not sure which) Anyhow, I had this picture that was labeled James and his friend, John Moore. I can't find the picture anywhere so now I don't know for sure where I even saw it. Perhaps online. Anyhow, I researced John Moore to see if I could find him in a census with my James and I did!
They were loggers together in Dayton, Mason County in 1910. Jim was listed as an engineer and John was a skidroad.
I may do a little more searching on John later, just for the heck of it. I haven't been able to find much on James but do know he died in Eureka in 1949 and did some goldmining. I've probably already mentioned this before. It sounds familiar at any rate. Jim is on the left.
Guess I'll turn off the computer and settle down in front of the tv for a while. I'm tired and will probably have to tape both the 10 pm shows I wanted to see. Going to a memorial service tomorrow. Hope the weather doesn't get too nasty.
