1847 - 1891 (44 years)Nellie Hoskinson grants right-of-way to railroad, 1888
"Twenty-five instruments dedicating land, some for the right of way of the Seattle, Lake bore & Eastern Railroad Company, and others to the city for Railroad avenue, according to the ordinance of the city council, were filed yesterday. C. P. Stone and wife. Nellie M. Hoskinson and husband, and William Ashworth and wife signed warranty deeds giving the railroad company right of way upon condition that it stop ail local and suburban trains on signal at Edgewater." Unclear what "and husband" means here given Stuart and Nellie divorced in 1888. Was Stuart Involved or did she do this on her own? Stuart files a court case against Nellie in 1889 for something that is later dismissed in 1890 for failure to show up in court. See article below.
