Notes

From: Source:Reedy, 1994:303-304

One of the students of the Trivette school, who long held the reputation of having traveled farther than anyone else in Dickenson County, was a Mr. Barlow Willis, son of James Willis. It is told that he did not seem to find any interest in the majority of his studies, but seemed to want only to study geography and such maps as he could secure. When the Klondike Gold Rush began, he had never seen a train, and knew nothing of the world beyond his kin by personal experience, but without warning he started for Alaska. He seems to have had a migrating instinct, likewise his brothers, most of which now live in the state of Washington. Willis reached the Klondike, but for a long time no word came back, and it was supposed that he was dead, but after two or three years he appeared in Lebam, Washington, and at wide intervals visited home. He now lives in the same place.
