Postcard - Morton, Washington

"Morton, Washington. Morton, home of the Morton Loggers Jubilee each August, boasts national recognition because of the event. Here is seen a 'Blue Ribbon' load of logs."

Birthplace of Prohibition Party Presidential candidate (2004 & 2008) Gene Amondson (born in 1943).

This postcard is probably from the 1970s.

Phone photo 2302

Graves of Rev. Robert Edmund Dunlap (1850-1938) and Nellie R. Dunlap (1851-1940), Vashon Island, Washington.

Rev. Dunlap was active in the Prohibition Party and ran for Washington State Governor under that banner in the elections of 1896 and 1900. He also ran as the Prohibition Party candidate for Governor of Arizona in 1916.

Vashon Island was also the home of Prohibition Party presidential candidate Gene Amondson (1943-2009) who ran in 2004 and 2008. I interviewed Gene in 2007.

Vashon Island Bicycle in a Tree



I do not know the history of this small bicycle lodged inside a fir tree on Vashon Island, Washington. Apparently the original front wheel and handlebars were vandalized and replaced within the last decade. Unless you know how to find it, you won't know how to find it since it isn't graced with any signage. It's about 7 feet from the ground.

Vashon Island was the home of Presidential candidate Gene Amondson, who ran as the standard bearer of the Prohibition Party in 2004 and 2008. The Island was also home (and burial place) to Prohibition Party candidate for Governor (1896 and 1900) Robert Edmund Dunlap (1850-1938).
