One the the historical notes of the Bayside neighborhood is the Samuel's house. Jennie, John and their son Wesley were an African-American families that help contribute to equal treatment of the Black Community in Everett. Jennie founded the Women's Club Movement in Washington and they were official homeowners on the 2200 block of Wetmore Avenue. The Samuels family moved to Everett around 1897 and by 1900 owned one of the first homes built on the 2200 block of Wetmore Avenue. After a brief period employed as a railroad cook, John Samuels switched to working as a custodian, a career that would support his family until his retirement. In addition to being a homemaker, Jennie Samuels became increasingly involved with social and religious affairs in Everett and Snohomish County. She founded the Nannie Burroughs Study Club, named for Nannie Helen Burroughs (1879-1961), an African American educator, feminist, and civil rights activist. The Study Club discussed papers and other works related to the improvement of Black lives in America. Club women were also heavily involved with providing aid to children in lower-income households, and to housebound individuals.
