 Lucie Isaacs as potrayed by Liz George
Walla Walla Public Library's Children's Services Librarian Liz George portrays Lucy Fulton Isaacs, who arrived in the Willamette Valley by wagon train in 1847 a few months before the Whitman tragedy. She married Henry Isaacs in 1860 and two years later the couple moved to Walla Walla where he established a flour mill. At their home on Brookside Drive, Mrs. Isaacs entertained suffragist Susan B. Anthony, in whose cause she worked, and participated in Walla Walla’s first Women’s Club, the Ladies Park Club, the Walla Walla Art Club, the Reading Club, the Education Club, the Humane Society, and the first meeting of the symphony. She was also a poet and essayist, writing under pen names. Mrs. Isaacs also served as correspondent for the Washington Equal Suffrage Association and the National Council of Women Voters.
