When Angeline was a very small child
her parents christened her kick-is-om-lo
Sealth. and she managed TO worry along
with this name until she was about %
years OF age. when she got married 10 an
Indian with the euphonious cognomen or
Dokue Cud. when she. OF course. became
kiek-is-om-io Cud, or Mrs. Dokub Cud.
Three children were born TO her while she
bore the name OF Cud, One OF them died
very young, one married clerk in Plum
mer's store. and the other married Fos-
ter, the father OF Joe. Early In the fifties
Mrs. DR.. Maynard came to Seattle, and
meeting the dashing Widow Cud, asked
her name. The daughter of Seattle re-
piled, in the Nbest Chinook at her COM
mand. that her friends and acquaintance
all knew her as Kick-is-on-lo Cud, widow
of the late Dokub Cud. Mrs. Maynard
laughed and replied: ''You are too good
looking a woman to carry around such
name as that, and i now christen you
Angelina" Mrs. Cud took kindly to the
change. and from that time to the day OF
her death she was known by all as Ange-
line Mr.. W. w. White. in speaking OF
the old woman yesterday, said: II came
TO Seattle in 1853 and have known Ange-
line ever since that time. and she is the

In conversation with Angeline ons day
I asked her how she occupied her time
as girl. She replied that her girihood
was very happy and was spent largely in
the woods. among the beautiful flowers.
She said her father had large number
OF slaves who performed all the mental
labor about the home. and that she had
nothing to do but enjoy herself. Why"
said she, II never washed dish nor dug
a clam until after / was married, and I
did not even know how TO open oysters.
All such work was done by her fathers
slaves that he had captured as prisoners
or war. My father never allowed my
mother or any of his girls TO soil their
hands with work, but after I became a
widow, with children TO support, had to
learn to work. Mrs. Maynard and Mrs
Collins taught ME how to work, and be-
fore broke my arm could make my own
dresses. wash, iron and do all kinds OF
hard work. My mother died many years
ago. and Mr.. Denny and Mr.. Bell made a
coffin for her to be buried In. Ny father
died afterwards. and he was buried by
the side Of my mother at the Old Man
House reservation. near Port Madison,
and some of the old settlers erected a
beautiful marble monument over his
grave"
