is made possible by permission of King County Library System and the
heirs of author Arline Stokes Ely Andre’:
Casey Stokes Miller and Kelly Stokes Hettinger.
Our
Foundering Fathers
was a 1975 Bicentennial Project by the Kirkland Public Library and
Arline Ely. The young
daughters of Arline Ely, Casey and Kelly, often accompanied their mother
as she researched for the book and interviewed the elderly settlers of
Kirkland.
Casey
even helped by suggesting names for the chapters.
Casey considers the chapter “A Town Began to Flourish” her
chapter because she named it. Our
Foundering Fathers
was rushed to print in 1975 and a few errors were later discovered.
As Arline Ely continued to do research, she also learned
additional information. These
edits had been submitted to the publisher in the event Our
Foundering Fathers
was reprinted. Kirkland
Heritage Society has
these
original edits and they have been added to the text using italics
when a change was made. Editor’s
notes have also been added to the photo captions to bring some of
Kirkland’s history up-to-date and to help clarify locations.
The
book has been scanned and is text or word searchable.
The photos are scans of the original photos.
If the original photo was not available, a scan of the books
photo is included.
