This collection consists of historical studies written by Jean Carol Davis, as well as a Truax family history compiled by Davis and Truax family photographs. The papers written by Davis cover regional history of the Johnson, WA area, an area settled by the Truax family. Davis compiled the Truax family history from extensive research notes taken by her mother, Gladys Truax Davis. It covers a period from approximately the 1830s to the 1960s. The Truax family photographs date from 1868 to 1949. They were received with descriptive notes by Davis written on separate slips, and these were transcribed onto the verso of the photographs during processing.
This collection is open and available for research use.
