This photo of Rasmus and Charlotte Petersen, and their son, Alexander, was taken at the Seattle World’s Fair in 1909. According to the family, “Charlotte was obviously a fiercely independent woman with a great sense of adventure. She left her family and followed her new husband to be a pioneer woman and agreed to spend time on Tillamook Rock – her tomboy upbringing and determination giving her the fortitude and skills to survive four weeks at the lighthouse – more than some men!” (Courtesy of Elizabeth Petersen Bottemiller)
