Description
English:

Handwritten on verso: Burrows house at Burrows landing. Destroyed by fire in 1890's. A family group in the 1880's. This house was located at the lake end of S.E. 15th. The lady wearing the hat was Bellevues first teacher in 1884. PH Coll 141.13

In 1882, Albert Burrows (1837-1896) moved his family from Des Moines, Iowa, to Seattle, Washington, where he got a job in a sawmill. He met George Miller, who had homesteaded with his family at Beaux Arts (area of present-day Bellevue) in 1883 and was looking for other families to settle nearby in order to organize a school. As a Civil War veteran, Burrows was entitled to a homestead, and Miller led him to the 160 lakefront acre homestead at Killarney (area of present-day Bellevue), where Burrows built a cabin and later a more substantial house. Albert Burrows served in the 1894 state legislature and died of bronchitis in 1896. Calanthia Wyoming Burrows was Bellevue's first schoolteacher in 1884.
