Isabel Roseburg

Isabel Roseburg was born March 4th, 1926 to Christopher (Chris) and Mary Matheson of Ellensburg, WA. Her father Christopher, a Scottish native, was a well-traveled man who first immigrated to United States in 1912. When World War I broke out, Christopher enlisted in the British Army and the Scottish Highlander division, eventually meeting his future wife Mary, who was a nurse in London. Mary was born in Australia to Scottish parents, and immigrated to Scotland with her parents at the age of 7. Chris and Mary migrated to the United States shortly after marrying, and settled in Ellensburg, WA where they bought a farm. They had three children, Isabel, Christopher Alexander (Allie), and Katherine (Rasor,) of which Isabel was the oldest. Isabel enjoyed the rural lifestyle, but often talked about the difficulty the Great Depression caused for the family. Upon graduating high-school in 1944 Isabel attended Central Washington University, and eventually went to work for the Bonneville Power Administration, which was building out electrical transmission lines at the time. Like many women of the time, she wanted to prove that she could be a "career woman" and stand on her own two feet.
