Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Oliver Scott Van Olinda, a career newspaperman and early resident of the Pacific Northwest, was born in La Salle County, Illinois, in 1868. In 1884 he traveled with his family in a covered wagon from Bedford, Iowa, to Sidney, Nebraska, where he learned to set type at the Redington Press at age 17. Van Olinda moved from Nebraska to Vashon Island, Washington, in August 1891. His father, Elmer Eugene, sister Mattie, and brother Charles also relocated to Vashon Island. Later another sister, Jessie, was born. Eventually Van Olinda married Vashon resident Ida M. Anderson, with whom he had two children, Myrtle and Andrew Eugene.
Van Olinda and his father ran numerous businesses on the island, including the Island Home newspaper, published from 1895-1897, and the Vashon Island News-Record. His brother Charles served as the first postmaster on Vashon Island, opening the Portage Post Office on May 18, 1903. For three years Oliver S. Van Olinda published another weekly paper, the Stanwood Press, in Stanwood, Snohomish County. Starting about 1900, he also maintained a house on Whidbey Island, where he was the editor of the Island County Times, a Coupeville newspaper. In addition to his newspaper work, Van Olinda managed a commercial wireless station in Olympia for a short while and served for 18 years as historian of the Vashon-Maury Pioneer Society. He was an adept writer whose lively stories of Puget Sound pioneer life for both adults and children included the book History of Vashon-Maury Island, published in 1935.

Names appearing in the inventory: Elliston and Chautauqua are names for the current location of Ellisport, the land near Tramp Harbor on the east coast of Vashon Island. The Ram Pasture, believed to have been Oliver S. Van Olinda's first home on the island, was initially a one-room house; it was later renovated into a larger building.

Steamship
Princess Royal Caption on image says "Princess
Alice '14," but the steamship has been verified as the
Princess Royal.The Princess Royal , an all-wood vessel, was built
in 1906 for Canada Pacific Railway by B.C. Marine Railway in Esquimalt, Canada.
By 1913, her light grey hull was painted black, and in the late 1920's, her
vertical clearance was increased to accommodate automobiles. After a 27-year
career serving Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver B.C., she was sold in 1933 for
scrap. (Robert Turner, The Pacific Princesses).
