1. Edmonds, WA was not ALWAYS called Edmunds ! Read why: Ref. THE HERALD - Everett, WA. Date: Sun Jul 15, 2001 Section: NW Life Page(s): D2 Author: Ted ALLEGRI, contributor Site: http://www.heraldnet.com/search/ Article:Edmonds got its name in odd way COMMENTARY: Read this fascinating about Puget Sound, American Indians and their meaning of their word "wulge"; Capt. George VANCOUVER in 1792 & the Straits of Juan de Fuca, etc. info about our part of the World back then. I learned, also, from this article that the famed Capt. James COOK had taught Capt. George VANCOUVER the art of chart making, aka cartography - map making, and reading navigational maps. Names of persons, places such as Mukilteo are covered in this two column article about our area which in those times took a lot of doing, and must have been quite an experience to those who took part in its discoveries. * * * 30 * * * 2.

In these times when we are concerned about the desecration, vandalism, utter neglect of our various CEMETERIES in our region, and all regions, for that matter, we need to be AWARE of what IS going on about us, and what we all can DO about it. COOPERATION, CONCERN, and ACTION to PROTECT our cemeteries from such defacement should be acted upon by the CITY, COUNTY, STATE, and its PEOPLE so that such things are protected and preserved in tact. * * * 30 * * * Carroll in Snohomish CLARK Line ENG >MA1637,CT 1638,>NY>IN>OR 1847>WA Terr. 1865>SNOHOMISH 1924 . & ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
