"This was Minnie Adams Scovells' fathers' sister-- her aunt, also born in Tillamook County, however." "Kate Kjurha was daughter of Chief Tose-tum, last of Clatsop county chiefs. He was nephew of Chief Cobaway, who Louis & Clark wrote about in their journals. Kate Kjurha was daughter of Chief Illga's wife Maggie's brother. So Maggie Illga Adams must have been sister to Chief Tose-tum." --Letter of Mrs Tuthill, 4/12/66.
