    Small pox outbreak on Bainbridge Island 1877
    Small pox outbreak on Bainbridge Island 1877
    Interesting article about a small pox outbreak on Bainbridge Island, about the same time the Hoskinson's were arriving in Seattle, and only a year before they moved to their homestead on Bainbridge Island. Stewart Hoskinson's 3rd wife Nellie Burnett Andrews lost three children ages infant, 3 and 5 years in 1878 in Seattle while with her first husband Stephen Andrews. Small pox may have been the cause. The article contains a lot of racism and fear-mongering re potential spread by local Indians: "SMALL POX - ...the outbreak of small pox at Port Orchard is proving to be quite a serious matter; like a prairie fire in the West, there is no telling where it will end....Two white men and several half-breed children at Port Orchard are down with the disease, while two Indian have already died of it....Indians often come direct from the homes of their sick friends to Port Madison and Blakely and mingle with people and other Indians (note Indians are apparently no people!) there, we are further informed...Indians are naturally very cautious in exposing themselves to contagious diseases. But though they regard such pestilence with a sort of superstitious horror, and are generally disposed to give infected neighborhood a wide berth, their fear is that of crude ignorance, and as they are entirely uncontrolled by reason, they act in such case very much on the same principle as panic stricken beast during a fire, which in their terror have been known to plunge headlong into the flames, when every effort was made to abet their escape. Therefore it is but folly to claim that the natural fear the Indians entertain of this disease will prevent a spread of it among themselves, or their communicating it to the white population...The authorities of Kitsap county should at once blockade Port Orchard harbor, and shut in the diseased Indians and white men so effectually as to prevent the possibility of their communication with other Indians in any manner. Unless this be done the smallpox is certain spread, and, as we said before, there is no knowing where it will end." The clipping goes on to relate a story about a doctor investigating a small death at Salmon Bay, north of Seattle, where another outbreak was expected.

    Riley M. Hoskinson homestead and surrounding area ca. 1884-1886
    Riley M. Hoskinson homestead and surrounding area ca. 1884-1886
    This photograph was taken of the Hoskinson homestead by Riley Hoskinson's son Stewart. In the foreground left is a barn. If you look closely you can see a horse drawn buggy parked in front. The trees behind are the fruit orchard Riley planted and writes about in his many letters, particularly his letter to the Cloverdale Reveille, 30 Sep 1880: "Last spring a year planted, 200 fruit trees, of apple, Pear, Peach. Quince, Plum, Prune, and Cherry, also Currants, Gooseberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, and Strawberries, besides many other articles to tedious to mention." Note that the photo was likely taken in Spring as the fruit trees appear to be in bloom. The house behind is presumably Riley and wife Martha's. It looks to have been added on to several times since the Hoskinsons arrived on Bainbridge Island in 1878. To the right of the house is windmill (it looks black in this photo) with a three tiered white structure in front believed to contain Riley's instruments for recording the weather (temperate, barometric pressure, etc.) As a member of the Signal Service of the US Army and Dept. of Agriculture, Riley recorded local weather conditions and reported them to The Seattle Intelligencer and the federal government throughout his time on Bainbridge Island. There appear to be other houses behind the Hoslkinsons, presumably the homes other homesteaders. It is interesting to note the palisade-style fencing that borders the road and surrounds the barn and other buildings. This would have been quite an undertaking to construct, involving thousands of individual boards. All along the right side of the photograph the land has been cleared of trees and burned. This is perhaps the land Riley began offering for sale in Nov 1883 and was still offering for sale in Feb 1886. In 1883, he was offering 80 acres. In 1886, he offers lots of 5, 10 or 20 acres, perhaps to attract smaller buyers. Note the price has increased substantially from $10/acre in 1883 to $30/acre in 1886. The 1886 advertisement notes the land has been logged and burned, but is not yet cleared. Finally, note the tree stump in front of the barn. This gives an idea of the size of trees felled to clear the Hoskinsons land. The stump is roughly the same width as the length of the buggy in front of the barn, which would make it 10+ feet in diameter and 15-20 feet tall. The burned stump near the road at the the bottom left of the photo looks to be from a tree only a bit smaller in diameter.
