The freaks consisting chiefly in upsetting out-houses moving a little personal property and tearing up a few crossings. The freight was uncoupled and the engine run up the track away before it was found out that the caboose was left, which caused a little extra cussing on the part of the conductor, otherwise no serious damage was done." |

| 1281 |  | Hector Peabody arrested for operating non-union jitney 1921 Hector must have operated a cab or small delivery truck (jitney) in 1921. Per this article, he gets caught up in a dispute between Seattle city officials, the Sound and Transit Company, and the Auto Drivers Union. Apparently, the city chose to only issue jitney licenses to members of the Sound Transit Company, who required a $100 fee to join. The Auto Drivers Union took legal action over what they viewed as favoritism by city officials for licensing only Sound Transit Company vehicles. Caught in the middle were members of the Auto Drivers Union arrested for operating jitney's without a city license: "Jitney drivers arrested Wednesday included the following: E. Ford, A. E. Dye, F. Manhoffer, J. Jensen, Claude Matson, W. J. King. Hector Peabody..." |

At one time it was thought the bone was fractured, and such may yet prove to be the case. The pain was so severe, that one night the physician was called as it was feared that lockjaw was about to set in." Lockjaw, a sever muscle contraction of the jaw, is caused by tetanus, suggesting the kick became infected. |

| 1291 |  | HIs old friends gone 1919 A sad article about Stewart return to Seattle in 1919 and finding none of his former friends. Almost sounds like he died of a broken heart. "After an absence of 20 years S. F. Hoskinson, age 75 who first came here in 1875 on his way to California, failed to find on his arrival October 10 any of the friends of 40 years ago. Today he died after sudden illness at a Sister's home (Ida. L Anderson) in Port Blakeley. Hoskinson lived in California from 1877 to 1899 (not true). When he returned to Seattle to visit Mrs. Ida L. Anderson, a sister. Even the police appealed to could not assist him in finding the old friends." |

| 1292 |  | Historic Bainbridge Island Water Tower "...The tower was built by the son of one of Bainbridge's earliest settlers, Riley Hoskinson, who had come to the island from Illinois in 1878 after serving in the Civil War. Hoskinson was one of a handful of homesteaders who cleared the Winslow area of trees and established farms and orchards. Water towers were an integral part of farming in the late 19th century, with numerous historic photographs depicting them in settlements around the island. Falling out of use with the improvements in utilities and plumbing, the tower is one of about four left of its kind in the county, according to Warren. Hoskinson's 113-year-old home, which sat a few feet from the tower, was demolished in 2005 to make way for a new commercial and residential development that is now undergoing city review. The property's previous owner got no takers on an offer to hand over the home for free to anyone willing to haul it away. The house was the most recent of many historic structures pummeled, paved over or pushed aside to make way for the island's growing population, Warren said. The tower likely would have met the same fate if the commission and other historical preservationists hadn't come to its rescue...." |

His father, Riley, was the second settler on Eagle Harbor, on the shores of which Winslow was founded. Today, a road from the "Old Dock" to Commodore Bainbridge School divides the properties of Hoskinson and Grow. It was Carrie Grow who became Winslow's first school teacher (at $35 per month) when School District 6 was formed on the north side of Eagle Harbor in August, 1881, The district was approved by the county superintendent after a petition by R. M Hoskinson resulted from complaints it was too far to row students across the bay to the Port Blakely School. After setting up a school, growth of the community was slow and steady, with the Congregational Church being built in 1896 (at a cost of $1,050), and seven years later getting its name...." |

| 1298 |  | History of Winslow church History of the church shown in this picture, built by Riley and Fred Grow. "...the history of the church goes back to two pioneer settlers in the area, Riley Hoskinson who arrived on the island sometime in the 1870s from Kansas, and Ambrose Grow, who cam in 1881. Both settled on adjoining sections of land. In 1882, the men organized the schoolhouse services. From Dec 31, 1882 until April 8, 1883 when members voted to change the name to the Eagle Harbor Congregational Church, the congregation was known as the Eagle Harbor Church association. The Congregational denomination was decided upon because members of the community belonged to several different faiths....On Dec. 31, 1888, The Rev John F. Damon preached in the Eagle Harbor School House, known as District 6, County of Kitsap, Washington Territory. Following the sermon, he read the articles of creed and church policy. The members present agreed to both as future regulations of the church organization, and signed them, thus incorporating the church. Charter members were M. Riley Hoskinson, Martha Hoskinson (the Grow family, Mary Taylor, Cecelia Fryberg, Harvey Thompson, Cora N. Fich) and Edith G. Garrison. After the incorporation, A. D. Grow donated land for the parsonage and church. (The parsonage was completed prior to 1891 with lumber from the Port Blakely Mill.) ...After completion of the parsonage, Ambrose Grow and Riley Hoskinson decide to canvas the community to asee what could be done to secure a permanent church....The planned for a church costing $1050. Again Port Blakely Mill Co. aided the congregation by supplying the lumber....It was completed and dedicated in 1896....In 1924, the first addition was added....In 1960 it was moved back from the road and turned one quarter....(In 1966 a second larger addition was completed.)" |

| 1299 |  | History recap of Port Blakely 1884 Another update on the Washington Territory. Riley writes against the railroads seeking land grants and right-of-ways, again voices his support for women's suffrage and prohibition, and notes the Puget sound mills are back running at capacity after a downturn. He ends with a recap of Port Blakely's history: "Six years ago, James Ryan, his family and mine were the sole occupants of this beautiful region around Eagle Harbor; no roads, no church, no school, while now we have all of these, together with twenty-six families and two steamboats each making two trips a week to and from, carrying passengers each way between this and the city of Seattle, at fifty cents per capita. Large manufacturing establishments are expected soon to be erected on this water, the necessary lands having been secured sometime ago. Weather splendid, Emigrants still pouring in, and still there is room for all those who are willing to work." The expected large manufacturing establishments became the Hall brothers shipyard. Built by Winslow and Henry Knox Hall, the Hall brothers shipyard was by the late 1880's "the world's largest sawmill under one roof." (Port Blakely Mills & Mill Town - Historical Buildings/Cultural Resource Survey, Port Blakely Mill Company, Apr 1992) "Between 1881 and 1904, the Hall Brothers launched 77 vessels of every size and rig, including barks, barkentines, three-, four-, and five-masted schooners, steamers, a tug, a government revenue cutter and several yachts. Hall Brothers was largely responsible for building most of the schooners for the Pacific Coast lumber trade" (White, Gary M, "The Port Blakely Years," Hall Brothers Shipyards, Charleston, SC: Arcadia Publishing, 2008, pp. 8–9) |

| 1300 |  | Homestead Certificate No. 1358 to Riley M. Hoskinson, Bainbridge Island, Kitsap Co., WA, 1882 This certificate apparently formalizes ownership of the homestead the Hoskinson's moved to in 1878 composing the "north half of the southwest quarter and the south half of the northwest quarter of section twenty-six in township twenty-five north of range two east of the Willamette Meridian in Washington Territory containing one hundred and sixty acres." Today this land would be north and west of the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal in Eagle Harbor, roughly centered on location of the present day Bainbridge Island Farmers Market. See plat map below. Interestingly the document is purportedly signed by Chester A. Arthur, President of the United Sates of America! Almost certainly signed on his behalf by S. W Clark, Recorder of the General Land office, instead. |
