Bayview’s centennial celebration has arrived. The Spokesman-Review will run a series on Bayview’s history. Starting this month, we will feature a four part series in the history of Bayview. We’ll arbitrarily start about 1860, with apologies to the Native Americans and trappers who were here before that. I have found that researching material more than 100 years old is not a task for the weak-willed. We’ll feature pioneer families and many of the descendants still living here. The Haddons were the first known settlers, with their eventual homestead located between Merryweather Road and part of Cape Horn. Other featured families will include the Pucketts, Napiers, Wilcoxes, Russells, Gassmans, Danielses, Burroughses, Feeleys, Bests, Bockstrucks and Blakneys.
