Excerpts from Mary Richardson Walker's diary related to the Forest Grove Indian School, 1879-1885. Mary is best known as one of the earliest missionaries in the Oregon Territory. Along with her husband Elkanah Walker, she went west in 1838 and settled on Spokane land at Tshimikain for ten years. After the Whitman Massacre, the Walkers moved to Forest Grove and became involved in the founding of Tualatin Academy and Pacific University. By February 1880 when the Forest Grove Indian School opened, Mary was 68 years old. Her daughter-in-law, Belle Putnam Walker, became a teacher at the Indian School. Mary visited with and hired Native students from the school, particularly Spokane children who were related to Natives she had known at Tshimakain. Her diary provides information about how the students' lives intersected with the lives of white Forest Grove residents. Transcribed by Pacific University Archivist Eva Guggemos in 2017.
A portrait of Levi and Belle Walker and their daughters Leva and Elda, probably taken around 1901. The Walkers were a prominent family in Forest Grove, Oregon, that had helped to found Pacific University. Levi's parents, Elkanah and Mary Richardson Walker, were two of the earliest missionaries in the Oregon Territory, having arrived in 1838 and founding a mission among the Spokane. Many members of their extended family were involved in missionary and educational work. Levi and Belle, who were both graduates of Pacific University, worked at the Forest Grove Indian Training School in the 1880s. This portrait was probably made around the time when the two daughters, Elda and Leva, graduated from Pacific. They would go on to earn Ph.D.'s. The sisters became professors of botany at the University of Nebraska.
