Historical NoteReturn to Top
In 1890 Idaho was declared a part of the United States of America, at that time the population was 88,548. Many families came to the west to have land and homestead off it in hopes of raising children that would be a part of a growing community. John Herman Stanford and his wife Mary Jane Nelson did just this. They moved to Idaho in 1888 with their children, where they began their new life. They began to farm and homestead from the land. The family started a long lineage who have still to this day stayed not only in the pacific northwest but in Idaho as well.
Donated by Tina Cutler, whose great grandfather homesteaded there in 1903. Also sent genealogical information stored on digital drive.
