Description
-
Letter from Mary Brown Lewis to her sister, Liberta Brown Schoch. Mary discusses several stories including: the 'travelling nursery' that transported plants on the Oregon Trail by the Lewelling Family; photographs of Brown Family members and the portrait of Tabitha Brown (now kept in Old College Hall at Pacific University); public interest in Tabitha Brown's story.
Liberta was the great-granddaughter of pioneer Tabitha Moffatt Brown, who settled in Forest Grove, Oregon. Tabitha Brown helped found Pacific University and is known as the 'Mother of Oregon.' Liberta graduated from Tualatin Academy in 1899, received her Master's degree in Education at Columbia University, and married Alfred Diehl Schoch.
