1. 708.057 - Letter from Dorothy Scott responding to inquiry about Homestead Valley. Map of homesteads, genealogy, notes on Scott family in Alaska. Homestead Valley Homesteaders: Scott, Thomas C. & family, John Carl, Albert, Dorothy, Rose, Bill, & Jim. Holdridge, Elmer Scott Murry, KG. Ellis, Ed Ellis, Bill Schledrew (Photographer) Scott, Holdridge, and Murry came out from Nome, Alaska in the year 1910 they had taken part in the Gold Rush. Scott proved up on two mines. He injured his lungs due to the cold and had to move south. Many paned for the gold of Nome. I believe Tom Scott's mines were Placer mines from the pictures I have. Tom C. Scott, and Jennie, My husband's mother and father, met and married in Nome, Alaska, at the time of the Alaskan Gold Rush. My husband Albert spent a lot of time conversing with his father about the years the family lived in Nome. John, Carl, and Albert were born in Nome. The family moved back to the state in 1910. Dad Scott proved up on two mining claims and came out a well to do man. His reason for leaving was due to his lung problems that were caused by the rugged climate. Dad also had a lumberyard at Nome, and a schooner that supplied it from Seattle. Murry was Tom's bookkeeper. I believe Holdridge was also an employee. I'm not sure of the connection between the two. They apparently came out together and decided to homestead. I'm not sure the year, but John Scott, Tom's eldest son was in politics and was able to get the bill through the D.S congress. The bill was to get the title to the Holdridge heirs. The settlement was split between Holdridge heirs, Scott, and Lawyer. (Roger Healy was also a Holdridge heir). They were told at the land office in Tacoma that anything that hadn't been surveyed was open for homesteading. The settlement was probably in the 1950's. The Scott's had moved from their claim to the Holdridge claim when Elmer took a job as track walker for the Milwaukee railroad. This made it possible for the Scott children to attend North Bend schools. It was approximately a mile hike through dense forest to reach the one room school situated on the north side of South Fork River across from camp 8 near Weeks Falls. They missed many days of school because of the deep snow. They were true pioneers. The boys always carried a gun and were excellent hunters.
