This is a bit before my time (1924) but "Teddy" Roosevelt and Charles "Plucky" Lindbergh were among the idols of our early days in Snohomish: Travel Leisure Sunday May 25, 2003 Herald - County Clips (usually History - CC.) Teddy comes to town by Sally Birks Saturday, May 23, 1903, was "Everett's Day of All Days," according to a headline in the Everett Daily Herald: President Theodore Roosevelt came to town, the northern-and westermost stop on his grand tour of the Wild West. The front page that day was the full-page tribute pictured here, lauding him as "a teacher and a preacher, a writer and fighter." New stories inside said thousands of people were converging on Everett by train ans steamer from "half a score" of Puget Sound cities and rom "the interior." The city was decked out in red, white and blue bunting and flags, and Indian canoe races were planned for TR's entertainment. All the stops on his long tour by train, which began 53 days before, on April 1, were practically whistle-stops. He actually arrived by steamer from Seattle and was in Everett only for two hours, long enough to be intriduced by the mayor and given a key to the city, no doubt. Teddy must have added the key to his mounting collection, since Everett was one of more than 75 stops he made on the three-month odyssey. * * * Tuttle Ancestry of William (1609-1673)and Elizabeth Tuttle come down thru the Jonathan Edwards, Stoddard, Pierrepont, Aaron Burr, Tylers to Edith Carow, dau of Charles Carow & Gertrude E.

I have a cast iron Teddy Roosevelt bank that I was given by my parents from Weeds Variety in Snohomish when I was age 5, 73 yrs ago. I have a friendship with Max Weed and his sister Maxine Weed (don't recall her married name & lives in the Kent or Auburn area these days). Max Weed, retired, lives in Snohomish. It was his parents whom were very good friends when I was growing up in Snohomish. What fond memories of the Weed Family, Ave. A and 3rd St., NE corner. Every Halloween, we'd hit their doorbell buzzer and then run. A guy wire from a telephone post got me on one occasion. Now their former store location is an English Tearoom called Mrs. Pennycooke's today on First Street Snohomish. Did I wander far enough from the original Subject ? Carroll in Snohomish * * * 30 * * *
