[Pg. 24]
"It was here that Kavanaugh met Tol Stola, widow with a small son. Her mother, Guila-Can, daughter of a Swinomish chieftain, died early. Tol Stola was reared with a white family, named Mr. and Mrs. Edward Eldridge of Bellingham.
She liked the ways of the white people, and S. J. Kavanaugh had often heard her tell about her part to bring feeling and understanding between the Indians and the first white settlers. Her father was Sil-Wis-Os, another chieftain, (orsub-chief of which there was one to every sub-tribe) known later as the Fidalgos, but really on of the Swinomish.
Sil-Wis-Os was a peaceful Indian and thought well of the white settlers. Tol Stola (known to the white people as Caroline) and her sister, Annie, were handsome, black-eyed girls, just growing into womanhood when Lieutenant Davis, nephewof Jeff Davis, joined the garrison at Marietta (Whatcom Country). It is related that the first time he saw Caroline he lost his heart, voice and appetite, and right there decided if he could not have her for his won, life would not beworth living.
Before this time, her father, Sil-Wis-Os, had already visioned white husbands for his daughters, and at a huge potlatch he ordered every man under him to 'leave off' killing white men. Continuing, this Indian man of vision said, "You maybe spilling my grandson's blood."
Of course, Lieutenant Davis knew nothing of this, and , realizing that she meant more than all the rest of him, experienced much doubt and discomfort. They were married, however, and went to live at the garrison, where Caroline hadservants to wait on her and the finest clothes money could buy. The Civil war came and passed into history, and with it Lieutenant Davis."
[Pg. 25]
"Soon after this, James Kavanaugh appeared on the scene. He too fell for Tol Stola's black eyes and beautiful manners. During her years at the garrison she had received a white man's education at the hands of the Catholic Father andothers living there. She spoke English fluently, was intelligent and will read. So she married James Kavanaugh and came down from her station with its servants and fine clothes. Her new husband was a man of courage and position - U.S.marshal in the Northwest, and was later elected sheriff of Whatcom county. ..."

"... Caroline Kavanaugh - From 1860 to the time of her death in 1919, she used her married name and was no longer called Tol Stolah in public, that would have been an insult. ..." <>
