The Schwerin and Kelly Families Photographs and Writings, which dates from 1889 to 1980 consists of writings and photographs from two apparently unrelated families. Etta Studley Schwerin’s writings include her childhood memoirs, genealogical information about her siblings, and a Neuenschwander family tree. Elizabeth E. Peiffer Kelly’s writings describe her childhood in Kansas and young adulthood in Washington, her experiences as a farm wife and mother, and a brief history of Dixie, Washington. Researchers should note that the writings are photocopies of original documents. The photographs depict turn of the century homesteads in Western Washington, members of the C.A. and Etta Schwerin family, and agricultural equipment and processes of early twentieth century wheat farming.
