"Mr. and Mrs. Hungate's memories of Priest Lake: notes on conversations made at Beaver Creek Camp in 1957" Typescript, circa 1957

Joseph W. Hungate (1882-1971) graduated from the State College of Washington (later Washington State University) in 1902. He received an M.S. degree at Cornell University in 1910, and later was the Head of the Applied Science and Arts Department at the Eastern Washington College of Education (later Eastern Washington University). In 1903 he married Winona Terpning of Dayton, Washington, and had five sons.

Beaver Creek Camp was a summer camp in Priest Lake, Idaho. The camp was organized and owned by families of Washington State College faculty members, staff, and administrators. The camp was originally founded by College President Wilson Compton in 1947 when he and his wife, Helen, bought 52 acres of land. The land was then rented out to members, who were faculty or attendees of the State College of Washington.
