Snohomish County Tribune 6-4-1896 Mr. Henry Dubuque, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Dubuque, of Machias, died Friday evening, May 29, 196. The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon, and were attended by a very large circle of personal and family friends at the home. Later at the Machias school house by almost the entire community. Everyone who knew this young man, who had just passed his majority, feels a personal bereavement in his early and unexpected death. As a son, duitful and affectionate; as a freind, true and helpful, as a young man, clean, upright and manly, all feel that a character of strength and worth has ended its early career. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.C. Merrit, of Snohmish, a comrade in the Grand Army with Mr. Nelson Dubuque. That sweet hymn "Nearer My God To Thee", was sung, a few verses were read from John xiv, with brief remarks and prayer, were the simple services held at the home. At Machias, the school house could not cantain all who attended. The music under direction of Messers John and Monroe Matthews, was full of comfort, Scripture, address and prayer all breathed the gospel message of love, life and consolation, and the body was interred in the cemetery. This is the first death that has come in the large family of twelve children, and found a shining mark in Henry. But if sweet, found memories of the departed and the genuine, heartfelt community can assuage in any degree the bitterness of their sorrow, Mr. and Mrs. Dubuque have these consolations.

MONROE MONITOR TRANSCRIPT 4-29-1910 OLD VALLEY PIONEER IS NEARING DEATH Old James Duval, one of the earliest settlers of the Snoqualmie valley is seriously ill in the Pacific hospital at Seattle and the physicians have grave doubts as to his recovery. "Jim" Duval will be recalled by every old settler in Snohomish and King counties as well as by a large percentage of the present population as a most forcible and interesting character. He came to the Sound when still a yourth, conducted one of the first logging camps in the vicinity, and built the first boom at the mouth of the Snohomish river. He is now 77 years of age and until his recent illness was as straight, spry and roubust as in the prime of life. Duval's early logging operations were not successful from a financial point of view and his strenous methods and pugnacious character made him many friends and enemies. When Duval settled in the Snoqualmie valley and began logging operations, the nearest base of supplies was Port Madison across the Sound. All supplies were taken up the river by Indians in canoes. On one trip up the river, his indians struck for more pay. Abandoning the canoes at the forks of the river., the Indians made camp and amused themselves playing games on a wide gravel bar at the riverside. Their demands resulted in a quarrel which could not be arbritrated; they refused to work under any consideration and advised Duval to get some other tribe to finish the voyage, and showed him the trail which led from the forks of the river to Mukilteo. Duval headed down the trail but returned a few minutes later with a vine-maple about six feet in length, freshley cut and peeled and, wielding it in the air, ordered the redskins to man the ships. He made a success of the "big stick" policy forty years before Roosevlt, for the strike ended and the Indian crew lined up to work without further trouble. A few weeks later the Indians in the valley formed an expedition and marched on Duval's loggers took to the woods' but Duval, with peavey in hand, walked out to the bank of the river and declared his intentions of cleaning up the whole outfit. A few days later they smoked the pipe of peace and made a contract with Duval, pledging their friendship and assistance and establishing a wage schedule which held for many years, during which time Duval had a monopoly of Indian labor on the river. The quarter section which Duval homesteaded in the early days is the spot which the Great Northern Railway Company and the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway Co. have selected for station grounds at Cherry Valley, and many requests have been made to the railway companies to name the new town in honor of the old man. Duval was well versed in the topography of Western Washington and from the very earliest pioneer days was firm in his conviction that the first transcontinental railway from the east to Puget Sound would be constructed through Snoqualmie Pass and down the Snoqualmie valley to Port Gardner Bay. The Northern Pacific made a survey in that direction as early as 1878. When the Northern Pacific failed to utilize that pass, the Great Northern made a similar survey in 1897, but later adopted the Stevens Pass and Skykomish river route. The Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound have now adopted the Snoqualmie Pass, which is said to afford a shorter route and much easier grades than exist on the other railroads over the Cascades, and a route to the Sound down the broad Snoqualmie. The Duval homestead, traversed by both roads, was sold to the Cherry Valley Townsite Co., two years ago. Duval, in his personal appearance, bears a striking resemblance to the latest pictures of Mark Twain, even though in some respects he more closely resembles Jacquin Miller. He has done much to develop the country and will always be remembered as a forcible Western character. During his career he has made few close friends and will probably be more appreciated in the years to come.
