Genealogical Society donates $1,000 to depot

Whitman County Genealogical Society July 15 made a $1,000 donation to the Pullman Depot Heritage Center in honor of the late Dorothy Sevier Matson (1920-2002).

Sevier Matson was a lifetime member of WCGS and donated money to the organization before her death.

Some of this money was used to establish an endowment with the Innovia Foundation, the interest from which is used to fund a scholarship each year to a graduating Pullman High School senior who writes an essay about their interest in family history, Pullman history or history in general.
