A trip to the Historical Society on Friday yielded a picture of the Gailey property from a perspective I never knew could exist;
A photo taken from the now gone Yeomalt Dock titled:
"Gailey Tent Camp, July 2, 1913"
also gave a view into the history of the property next door,
"Lot 11."
This post is for them. And the house.
1869 - 1889:
Renton/Smith acquires from the United States and then divides and sells the 63 acres later to be known as "Yeomalt Point" in multiple transactions, which I'm still tracking. All parties are seemingly "related" by business or birth.
Renton/Smith is also affiliated with the Port Blakely Mill Company (A California Corporation) and gives power to "cut and remove said timber in such time as to him shall seem meet" in August of 1871.
October 18, 1889:
C.L. Dingley purchases a total of 38 acres described as "Lot 4".
April 13th 1893:
C.L. Dingley sells to H.H. Dingley (for $5.00) all 38 acres as previously purchased. (I'm assuming H.H. Dingley is his son) and plats the land into 39 parcels.
November 27, 1905:
"H.H. Dingley"
Sells to
"Yeomalt Point"
"3 acres of land above high water" This plat contains lots or tracts 1-39 inclusive."
January 11, 1907:
"To have and to hold with appurtenances forever"
Charles W. Smith purchases Lot 11 from H.H. Dingley for,
$10.00. (still working through this one.)
September 27th, 1909:
Lot 11 is sold to "The Seattle Land and Improvement Company" for $2100.00.
October 4th 1909:
(less than ten days later?)
The Seattle Land Improvement Company sells to
Jay M. Graybill,
the property for $2100.00.
May 6, 1926:
Lula H. Graybill sells Lot 11 to Wyle Hemphill for $3,000.00
April 24, 1934
Wyle Hemphill sells to Carl & Violet.
To be continued.....
