1	[Ehlers Family History.FBK.FBK.FBK.FBK.FTW] Folder includes genealogical notes about the family. Pauline started at the NW Normal School at Lynden before it closed. She was in the first class of nine students at the State Normal School in Bellingham (Whatcom). She taught school for 32 years. From Effie Ehlers Fowler's University Notebook in her folder. "Pauline Jacobs Camp and husband, Harold, had a child (boy?), after Dorothy, who died very young. It was buried in a cemetery where they lived. Much later when they wanted to remove the little casket to the Lakeside Cemetery, the men went to dig up the casket. All that remained was the metal handles of the casket after the many years. I have a picture of Dorothy, Pauline & the baby." CONTINUATION OF ANNIE JACOBS' DIARY FROM CELIA JACOBS' NOTES SECTION: "August 5, 1899. Saturday Celia and I went to Antony's second clearing to pick berries there. When we were there, we Heard an awful big crack in the brush. Celia thought it must be a cow. I thought it was either a bear or the boys trying to frighten us. We thought no more about it. When we were through there, we came by the barn to pick. We were picking away when all of a sudden a pig started to squeal. I was up to my neck in brush, briars & logs. I screamed to Celia to go quick and scare the bear off. She wasn't far from where the bear was. I sailed to the house as fast as ever I could for the rifle, calling for Pauline to bring the gun. She came and away we all ran: she, Mama and I. I told here to go after the boys on her wheel, as had luck would have it, they were at the Mill. When we got where the bear was, Mama wouldn't leave me go where I could see him and shoot, so I shot in the direction. Shot twice. Celia and I both fixed it for the first shot. We had never shot it before. Just as soon as the bear heard the gun, away he went and out came the pig. It was our nice big pig. We could see the big wounds as she ran for home. Poor Bessie, she looked awful. One wound is real deep. We could see her shoulder bone. He clawed three big wounds and scratched her all over the back. We got her in the barn and she seems to be getting along very well. She walks around some and has a good appetite. We hope she gets well. We hated to kill her as she is too nice. I will take the best care of her. Mr. Bloom gave us some tar and Pauline is going to get some bichloride of mercury when she goes to town. If we keep it disinfected, she has a chance of getting well." "August 6, 1899. The pig, Bessie, is getting along very well. Freddie Ehlers was thrown from one of their horses and was hurt quite badly. Hope it leaves no evil effects." "Sunday, August 20, 1899. Yesterday evening after I fed Bessie, the old pig bit me on the leg. That is the thanks I get from her for taking good care of her. I won't trust her again." "Wednesday, August 23, 1899. This evening we got another letter from Mrs. Frasier. She has made different arrangements about the house and says it will be almost impossible for her to let us have the use of the kitchen as she is going to have boarders and the company will not allow her to rent the rooms for kitchen purposes. So we will now have to go somewhere else." "August 24, 1899. This morning when I went to feed Bessie, the pig that was almost caught be the bear, she had a family of twelve." "August 31, 1899. Mr. M. asked Pauline if she knew of a good woman who could take the Dormitory as they still had no one to take it. So Pauline suggested Mamie. Then telegraphed but so far we can get no answer. We have telegraphed twice. We are going to Whatcom Saturday anyway. School starts the sixth, so we will have to hustle." "Sunday, September 3, 1899. I am writing this in our house in Whatcom." "Thursday, September 7, 1899. We all have been very busy this weekend and still are. The rooms aren't all quite ready yet but soon will be. We started to serve meals Tuesday. We have the rooms almost full. I like the house very much and hope we don't run behind. Two of the teachers are going to stay here. Mr. Durr came Sunday and Miss Ratcliffe and her sister and brother. Gracie is here with us." "Friday, September 8, 1899. Another day has passed. The teachers came tonight. Mr. Paden has started on the partitions. Fred went home yesterday. I hope he brings a cow to us soon. We need her very much." "Friday, September 15, 1899. I am going home tomorrow to see about bringing a cow and some chickens. We can rent the barn that is back of the house for 50 cents a week. The gas stoves in the teachers rooms were put up this afternoon. The girls are scared of them." "Saturday, September 16, 1899. I went to get a cow and some chickens. Fred and Ed came Monday. They brought the cow and chickens. Mindy gave us one of her cows to milk but she won't sell he because she was Johnnie's pets. We have thirteen girls now." "Friday, September 22, 1899. Yesterday we got our telephone. Elsie is very nice. She comes every time I call her. I have turned her loose in the lot and the chickens run all around. Pauline is teaching in the training school now in place of the assistant who has not come yet." "Sunday, October 29, 1899. Friday the big reception came off. We all went. It rained very hard but in spite of the rain there was a large crowd." "December 20, 1899. I am reading Ella Higginson's poetry this evening. She lives second door to us here."
