RE: Information on the Life of Aurilla Furber
Introduction:
The South Washington County Telecommunications Commission (SWCTC) contacted staff
with interest of producing a video centering on the life of Aurilla Furber. Ms. Furber was a
19th century author, editor, and activist from Cottage Grove. The SWCTC provided staff
with a link to Ms. Furber's Wikipedia page below. However, Staff has been unable to locate
any information on the life of Ms. Furber in City records and is seeking the assistance of the
ACHP for any information on her life.
https:Hen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurilla Furber
Discussion:
The ACHP should discuss any known information on the life of Aurilla as well as provide
any resource suggestions for staff to utilize. The information will be sent to the SWCTC in
order to produce a short video about Ms. Furber's life.
Recommendation:
No action is required for this item.
