Pete Anderson

Pete Anderson
and his dog Billy

Pete Anderson was a house painter from Sweden who lived up on the Lake Marie plateau outside of Fall City from the early 1900s to the 1940s. He shared a small farm with Bill Carnahan and Nels ?. He had been friends with my family and so we inherited his collection of negatives when he passed on.

This is where Osters live now.

Please note that living creatures tend to be blurry at the slow shutter speeds of old-time cameras.

This page of pictures were taken on trips and picnics. I've no idea how far he actually went. The Lake Kechelus envelope was labeled, by Jack Chisholm: "trip to Yakima & Aunt Allie Place". Since Aunt Allie is related to the Chisholms and NOT to Pete Anderson, I'm wondering if there was a group trip to her place.

Two model t's. Bill, Sam & Jean Carnahan, standing. This looks like it's at their place before leaving.

Two model t's in the mountains. Probably had stopped for lunch.

Since there were powerlines along the road, this was probably the main highway.
