I checked the BC Times for the time period--online on BC Library site under databases--and here's one of the articles. https://www.genealogybank.com/doc/newspapers/image/v2%3A16559E52C53A8520%40GB3NEWS-165E90EA77DE9A15%402418335-165D9B264B36E9F0%404-165D9B264B36E9F0%40?h=7&fname=frank&lname=vanderbilt&fullname=&kwinc=&kwexc=&rgfromDate=&rgtoDate=&formDate=&formDateFlex=exact&dateType=range&processingtime=&addedFrom=&addedTo= Apparently Jennie was one of two bears and had a little bear!!
