A 1958 Woodland, WA area history included the following:

The Silas Tucker and Jim Matthews families moved up from Puget Island to Lewis River and built their homes along the river on the D. Wells Gardner place about 1890. About 1895 the Matthews moved away and in 1897 or '98 the Tuckers moved their house and belongings including a cow on to a log float and floated down the river to the mouth and on up Lake River on a flood tide to Felida. They lived there on the float a few years then moved to a house in Felida. Columbia River fishing was the main activity of Silas Tucker and Jim Matthews. Jim spent his last years living on a boat house at the mouth of Lewis River.

Also, about Selina's son Randall,

Randolph Remington, age 80, now living at the Faith Foundation Home in Vancouver, relates a long experience on Columbia and Lewis River steamers. He worked up from deck hand to mate to pilot on the Strs. Oklahoma, George Burton and Robert Young and to Captain on the Str. Catherine, formerly called the Maria, and the Robert. He had been mate on all of these boats. Randolph proudly shows his Master's License. He also served a time in Africa in 1917 as foreman getting out mahogany timbers for shipment.

There is an Anna Remington, divorced, age 24, born in WA, father born Ohio, mother born Iowa, with her son Randolph, age 2, b. Oregon in the household of Benj. Q. Tucker (age 70, born KY) IN the 1880 census of Cornelius, Washington Co., Oregon. I don't know what relation Benj. (and his wife Clarinda) would be to Silas Tucker, but it is a pretty odd coincidence if that isn't Selina and her son. The index doesn't show any other Tuckers in that same household.

Census: 1900-1920, Whipple Creek Pct, Clark Co., WA
