Description
  • John James Burton, the progenitor of the Burton/Lake/Garton families, was an Oregon pioneer, establishing a farm on his donation land claim in Yamhill in 1844. Although the collection contains family papers of the Burton/Lake/Garton families, the collection will be of particular interest to scholars of Asian immigration in the West, and the work of Kate Burton Lake and Margaret Lake Garton to help Chinese and Japanese girls and young women through their work in the Methodist Episcopal Church's Oriental Home in San Francisco from ca. 1896-1903, and the Portland Industrial Home in Portland, Oregon from ca. 1913-1920. The collection contains correspondence, reports, newspaper articles, ephemera, artifacts, and photographs that reflect the Christian missionary work of Kate Burton Lake and her daughter Margaret Lake Garton; and the family life of the Burton/Lake/Garton families.
  • Handwritten notes
  • Report related to Kate Burton Lake's and Margaret Lake Garton's work in Women's Home Missionary Society Homes in San Francisco, California. The Oriental Home and School in San Francisco sheltered abandoned children, rescued slave girls, and advocated in the legal system for the Chinese. This report contains notes about the number of women, girls, and boys in the home and some of the costs associated with its operation.
