Basket Maker Bios

Mrs. Susan

life dates unknown

Unfortunately, little is known about the basket maker Mrs. Susan. Information received from the donor Mary Peters indicated that the maker of basket 996.2.1 was Mrs. Susan, wife of “old Louie” from Chehalis. The couple lived on Nieaman Island. Susan died in the1950s or 1960s.

The Langley Centennial Museum would appreciate any leads on the identity of Mrs. Susan, wife of “Old Louie” or Louis of Nieaman Island.
