album (1 box) ; sizes vary93 lantern slides (2 boxes) ; 3.25" x 4"Collection materials are in
English.Photographs of
and by U.S. Forest Service Ranger Rudo Fromme focusing primarily on his
forestry work in the Deschutes National Forest Oregon, and the Olympic
Peninsula, Washington. Rudo Lorenzo Fromme (1882-1973) worked for the National Forest Service
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, for 37 years. He was a Forest Service
Superintendent in the Olympic National Forest from 1911-1926. Fromme was born
July 10, 1882, in Saint Paris, Ohio, to Frank W. and Stella L. (neé Riker)
Fromme. He attended Purdue University and Ohio State University. He earned a
Master's Degree from the Yale School of Forestry in 1906 and married Ruby Ellen
Gowanlock on May 20, 1908. Fromme worked in forestry in Idaho, California,
Oregon, and Washington, with the majority of his career in the Olympic National
Forest, Washington. In 1932 Fromme married Eleanor Louise Banks and the couple
lived in Maple Valley, Washington. Supervisor Fromme retired from the Forest
Service in 1943 and embarked on a new career, doing make-up for stage
performances in Pomona, Claremont, and LaVerne, California, until his second
retirement in 1965. Fromme died in a nursing home on August 19, 1973 and is
buried in Mountain Crest Memorial Park in Enumclaw, Washington. Mount Fromme,
near Mount Claywood and Mount Sentinel, was named in 1920 by a mountaineering
party for Superintendent Fromme.
The album covers approximately 1900-1926. The majority of the
photographs are of the Olympic National Forest in Washington state. Fromme's
Yale Forestry camps, travels in North Carolina, Idaho, Oregon, California, and
Alaska, forest firefighting procedures, treks with the Seattle Mountaineers,
and a tour of the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 are also included, as well as
several photographs by photographers Billy Everett and Asahel Curtis.
Also includes hand-tinted glass lantern slides from approximately
1900-1940 of forest rangers, the Olympic Peninsula wilderness, Oregon and
Washington Cascade Mountains, and an avalanche on Mount Baker

1/1186cBody of John Tornow1915Caption on page: Torneau, the Olympic Outlaw, 1915.
Note: John Torneau (sometimes spelled Turnow in news articles)
(1880-1913), the Wild Man of the Wynoochee, shunned society and lived off the
land in the woods of the Olympic Peninsula. In 1911, he was accused of shooting
and killing his teenage nephews, although there has been speculation about the
circumstances surrounding their deaths. This spurred a two-year manhunt, during
which time Tornow killed four men who had been hunting him. Tornow was shot by
Giles Quimby, a sheriff's deputy, on April 16, 1913. Fromme wrote 1915 in his
album, which does not match the time line of Tornow's life. The photo in
Fromme's album may be a postcard of Tornow's body, which was popular during the
early 20th century. A September 17, 1972 Seattle Times article notes that
Fromme was "involved" in Tornow's shooting but information about this
involvement has not been located.

lantern slide is a positive print of a photograph on a glass slide. These were
“matted” by a piece of opaque paper laid on the slide. Then a second slide of
glass was laid atop the glass slide with the positive print and these two
pieces of glass were bound firmly together by pasting a strip of paper around
the edges. The final slides were shown in a lantern slide projector. By the
1930s and 40s, lantern slides dropped off in use as overhead projectors and
slide projectors took their place.
Fromme presented public lectures using these glass-lantern
slides. Every slide was photographed by Rudo L. Fromme unless noted
otherwise.
