    Centralia Massacre

    Notes

    When Charles Chamberlain and his family moved to Centralia in 1918, they stayed at the Queens Rooms downtown. They also witnessed the Centralia Massacre on November 11, 1919. Their rooming house was searched after the event, as soldiers searched for men who had been involved. Inscription: "This is where we room. Those two big double windows with the screens are ours & the one northwest of the fire escape. The north end is the bedroom & the other window is to the kitchen."
