An outdoor portrait taken in 1881 or 1882 of twelve male students from the Puyallup tribal agency who were attending the Forest Grove Indian School. Those pictured appear to be from the first group of students from Puyallup who were admitted to the school on February 25, 1880. Notes penciled on the back of the photograph identify several of them as: Augustus Kautz; Nugen Kautz; David Brewer; Henry Sicade; Peter Kalama; and Jerry Meeker. The Kautz brothers are the two standing in the back row, wearing similar darker-colored suits. A descendant has also identified Samuel "Spott" McCaw as the student sitting furthest left on the bottom row.
The remaining students probably include five of the other seven boys who were admitted in the same cohort from Puyallup: Charles Ashue, Samuel Ashue, Edward Richard, Andrew Richard, Peter Stanup, Harry Taylor, and Willie Wilton.
The back appears to be signed by Henry Sicade, who was one of the most successful former students of the school. This copy is water-damaged. This portrait was taken on the grounds of the Forest Grove Indian School by a photographer from the I.G. Davidson Studio, whose office was in Portland. It is part of a series of photographs of the school that were shot, sold and distributed by the Davidson Studio, with a portion of the sales going to support the school.
A group portrait of Tualatin Academy graduates, taken on June 1, 1886 in Forest Grove, Oregon. Tualatin Academy was a college preparatory high school attached to Pacific University. The students are wearing formal clothes and are wearing ribbons and/or corsages, and are holding their diplomas. The photographer's mark is obscured by the print, but based on matching photographs from the same period, it is identified as the work of the I.G. Davidson Photography studio, which was based in Portland.
The students are identified on the back in handwritten notes, with some omissions and errors. The names listed here are corrected, based on a list of graduates of the class published in the Pacific University Catalogue (1886). Starting with the top row, left to right, the students are: 1. William Macrum (see note below); 2. Charles O. Roe; 3. Clay McNamee; 4. G. W. Nelson? (see note below); 5. L. E. Wilkes; 6. John W. Smith; 7. Lincoln McLeod; 8. L. I. Bush; 9. Arle Watt; 10. John Lee; 11. Henry Sicade (see note below). In the bottom row, left to right: 12. Jessie Samuels; 13. Katie C. Smith; 14. Allie Samuels; 15. Nellie Lee (see note below); 16. Olive Kiger; 17. Mary Patton; 18. Mattie Koontz.
Note on student 1: The handwritten notes indicate that this is Newell Macrum, but he was in the class of 1887, while his brother William Macrum was in the class of 1886. This is more likely William.
Note on student 4: The handwritten notes do not identify this student, but based on school records, this is most likely G. W. Nelson.
Note on student 11: Henry Sicade was a member of the Puyallup Tribe who had formerly attended the Forest Grove Indian School before entering Tualatin Academy. He is the first confirmed Native tribal member to graduate from Tualatin Academy.
Note on student 15: The handwritten notes identify her as "Mary Lee," but school records show her name as being "Nellie Lee."
