Scope and content
Sourdough Reunion reception committee. The three women pictured went to Alaska even before the Gold Rush. They are, left to right, Mrs. William "Ma" Huson, who emigrate in 1894 with her husband, Mrs. Nettie C. Frew, 1897, and Mrs. Margaret Sargison, 1897. Mrs. Huson and her husband transported the first piano to Dawson, Alaska, disassembled and wrapped in knitting yarn. The piano was reassembled and became the wonder of the town. Mrs. Huson made petticoats with the yarn and sold them for $125 each. (T. Times 8/17/1934, pg. 1)
