Classification: Query
Surnames: Potter/ Belcher/Dana
My family was logging ~1933 in WA state...They were living in Nespelem on the Colville Indian Reservation and doing logging.. their or nearby I don't know.. they were their no more than 2 or 3 years. My g.grandpa, Dave Potter, was friends with the conservaton officer, who came by for supper. (My Gggma, assisted by Ggma, was the camp good and said to be a good cook).

My grandmother Mescal Potter was a little girl there, she very fondly recalls it and had a beautiful necklace made with seedbeads (sadly the stringing rotted and it fell apart).. She wore a buckskin play dress, and I have photograph of her, with a doll also wearing a buckskin dress. Also there was gggma, ggma, cousin Bart Belcher. There is a photograph of Bart Belcher with 'Dan Dana'. Dan Dana is not a relative that I know of... is he someone's family in Colville?

Would anyone have a clue regards logging in Nespelem area and how I might obtain any additional information about my families presence there.
