Abstract
"One of the most familiar characters in North Yakima is Susie the subject of this sketch, whose likeness is shown below. Susie is a squaw, just a little wrinkled old Indian squaw, feeble, tottering like a last year's reed in the breeze, the light that once illuminated her eyes fading with the years that have brought to her heart joys and sorrows, pleasure and pain as they do to women and men of every race. Susie is a landmark of the past which she helps to connect with the present in the minds of the early settlers of the valley. She was here before the white people came, she looked as old when they first saw her in many respects as she does now; she washed for them assisted in their housework; she was considered a reliable and trustworthy helper when many of the grown men and women of today were laughing, blue-eyed babies in their mothers' arms."
