Martha B Lewis, Sacramento
A photo of Martha B. Lewis at Dickmans Gallery in Sacramento. My grandmother arrived in San Francisco about 1861 with her sister Mary & brother Emmit. They went up the Sacramento River and were met by Uncle Thomas. Mary & Martha worked on riverboat at first for a man from Illinois. He gave all the Barker sisters a gold buckle. I still have her scrapbook of poems and clippings 'bought on Jan 12, 1862.' My cousin Eula still had one of the buckles when she died.
