Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Ottilie Lou (Kepner) Markholt was a white, female labor unionist, labor historian, and author who spent most of her life in Tacoma, Washington. She was born on February 25, 1916 to parents Alfred Silverthorne Kepner and Clara Reissennweber Kepner in Candle, Alaska. Her family moved first to Chicago in 1919 and then to West Seattle in 1921 where Ottilie spent the remainder of her childhood and adolescence. She attended West Seattle High School, working on the school newspaper, and graduated in 1933 as class Valedictorian.

After high school, Ottilie attended the University of Washington from 1933-1935. It was in college that she became active in leftist political organizing, joining the University Unit of the Young Communist League in 1935. Ottilie did not graduate college, leaving, according to the Preface of her book Maritime Solidarity, “to become a full-time revolutionary.” It was through the Young Communist League that she met her first husband, Bob (Robert) Dombroff. They married on December 7, 1935. Bob was also active in leftist organizing and the labor movement when they met. They were both members of the Communist Party but dropped out in 1936.

Bob Dombroff was a sailor and an active member of the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific as well as the Maritime Federation of the Pacific Coast (MFPC), a short-lived organization founded in 1935 to build solidarity amongst the different labor unions representing maritime workers. During this time, Ottilie helped form the Seattle Women’s Maritime Auxiliary of the MFPC, compiled the Union Labels for Union Men booklet in 1937, and helped recruit author and activist Ralph Chaplin, Jr. to work as Editor of the MFPC’s newspaper, the Voice of the Federation. Both Ottilie and Bob were openly critical of International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) President, Harry Bridges.

Bob and Ottilie had two sons, Bob and Lee. Bob was born in 1937 and Lee in 1939. After Bob Dombroff and Ottilie divorced in 1941, she relocated to Tacoma with her sons and temporarily worked a unionized waitressing job. She began working for the Tacoma Metal Trades Council in 1943 where she joined the Office Employees International Union Local 20360 which later became the Office and Professional Employees International Union Local 23. Ottilie worked for OPEIU Local 23 as Office Secretary beginning in 1949 until her retirement in 1981. She was also actively involved in the union itself, including attending the 1962 international convention as delegate and serving as Secretary-Treasurer in the 1960s.

Ottilie met her second husband, Halvor Markholt through Local 23. He worked as a timekeeper at the shipyards. They married in 1943, and Ottilie as well as her sons assumed the last name of Markholt. The family moved to a farm south of Tacoma in 1945. Ottilie and Halvor divorced in 1953.

Ottilie’s Research & Writing

Ottilie spent many years researching and writing scholarly articles and manuscripts on a variety of topics, primarily related to the labor movement. Her published book Maritime Solidarity: Pacific Coast Unionism 1929-1938 emerged from expanded research beginning with her work on the Sailors' Union of the Pacific manuscript, completed in 1942 and originally credited solely to co-author Peter B. Gill. Ottilie conducted extensive research and worked on multiple drafts of Maritime Solidarity for many decades, including versions detailing earlier time periods. Ralph Chaplin, Jr. was an influence in encouraging her to resume research and writing in the 1950s, and labor historian Archie Green encouraged her to publish it in the early 1990s. After rejection from a number of publishers, the Pacific Coast Maritime History Committee was formed, initially as a part of the Pierce County Central Labor Council and composed of members of the labor community, to coordinate the publishing. Through community donations, including contributions from labor unions, enough money was raised to publish the book in 1998.

In addition to Maritime Solidarity, she researched and wrote several other manuscripts, including The Concern of All: Tacoma Working People and Their Unions, 1883-1895, sponsored by the Pierce County Central Labor Council in the 1980s; a biography of her parents called Alaska Homestead, completed in 1947; Nome, Alaska’s Early Union Movement on early union organizing in Nome; and her autobiography, Against the Current, completed around 2001. She also assisted others in their research, including Ronald (Ron) Magden and A.D. Martinson for their 1982 publication, The working waterfront: the story of Tacoma's ships and men as well as Captain Harold Huycke in the early 2000s in writing a history of ILWU Local 90 in San Francisco, California.

Additionally, Ottilie wrote for a variety of local publications during her lifetime, including the Tacoma Labor Advocate when Ralph Chaplin was Editor in the 1940s. She was also Editor of the Tacoma NAACP newsletter in the early 1960s and the Pierce County Central Labor Council Education Committee’s newsletter, The Labor Educator, which ran from 1985 to 1997.

Activism and Organizational Involvement

Ottilie was active in labor, civil rights, and social justice organizing, participating in a variety of organizations throughout her lifetime. In addition to her involvement in the Communist Party and OPEIU Local 23, she organized against “Right to Work” Initiatives 198 and 202 in Washington State during the 1950s. In 1964, Ottilie traveled to Buffalo, New York for research where she ended up volunteering in the office of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). She later joined the Tacoma-Olympia Branch of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in 1971 and served as Branch Secretary for a number of years.

She was also actively involved in promoting and educating the community on the importance of labor history, including serving as the first Chair of the Pierce County Central Labor Council’s Education Committee and coordinating research and writing for a pictorial history exhibit and the publication of To Live in Dignity as a part of the Washington State centennial celebrations in 1989. Along with her son Bob who was teaching labor studies courses at the Tacoma Community College, Ottilie made efforts to integrate labor history education into community college curriculum in the 1970s and 80s. She was also a founding member of the Pacific Northwest Labor History Association (PNLHA), joining in 1979 and serving as Vice President for several years in the 1990s as well as attending and presenting papers at the organization’s annual meeting.

End of Life

Ottilie passed away on November 25, 2004 in Tacoma, Washington. A memorial was held on January 30, 2005 at the Local 23 hall of the ILWU in Fife, Washington.

  • SERIES 10: CALENDARS, 1971-2003: Ottilie’s 1979 and 1980 annotated calendars as well as other assorted labor union, labor history, social justice, and leftist themed calendars. Includes annual calendars from the Pacific Northwest Labor History Association (PNLHA).

  • SERIES 12: ARTIFACTS AND TEXTILES, 1930-1999: Labor-related apparel, buttons, and pins as well as Ottilie’s OEIU paper case with her signature on it and a shopping bag from the 1964 International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) "Don't Buy Judy Bond Blouses" boycott campaign.

RECORD GROUP 2: MARITIME LABOR DOCUMENTS AND RESEARCH MATERIALS, 1912-2000 comprise files from a donation of ten boxes arranged and inventoried by Ottilie Markholt herself, likely compiled and used during her research for the book Maritime Solidarity and possibly the Sailors' Union of the Pacific. These materials are listed as a separate records group to maintain the context of how they were originally used and described by Markholt, though there is overlap with the research materials in SERIES 1, Subseries A: Maritime Solidarity.

This records group is divided into two main series and contains:

  • SERIES 1: MARITIME LABOR ORIGINAL RECORDS, 1922-1956, 1983-1984: Files documenting West Coast maritime labor, primarily during the 1930s, including the activities of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific, affiliated district councils, and the Editorial Board of their newspaper, the Voice of the Federation, as well as federation convention proceedings. Also included are records of a number of West Coast maritime labor union locals; the personal papers of Bob (Robert) Dombroff, Ottilie Markholt’s first husband, who was a member of the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific and actively involved in the Maritime Federation of the Pacific; and additional subject files on maritime labor. These records likely came into Ottilie’s possession from Dombroff.
  • SERIES 2: RESEARCH NOTES AND RESOURCES, 1912-2000: Photocopies of archival material from other repositories, books, and articles along with Ottilie’s extensive research notes on West Coast maritime labor. If consulting Markholt’s original inventory, please note that materials listed in the original Box 7 as containing additional research notes on early maritime labor history were not located during processing.

See the arrangement note for a full list of series and subseries in each record group. More detailed scope and content information for the materials in each series is included in the box and folder inventory below, as needed.

Container(s) Description Dates
SERIES 1: RESEARCH MATERIALS AND MANUSCRIPTS
This series includes subseries with files on the following published and unpublished manuscripts:
  • Subseries A: Maritime Solidarity: Pacific Coast Unionism 1929-1938: Published as a book by the Pacific Coast Maritime History Committee in 1998. Files include earlier drafts with unpublished segments on maritime labor in the early 1900s to World War I.
  • Subseries B: The Concern of All: Tacoma Working People and Their Unions, 1883-1895: Sponsored by the Pierce County Central Labor Council and researched and written by Ottilie in the early 1980s. Manuscript details the early history of Tacoma labor unions.
  • Subseries C: Against the Current: A Social Memoir, Ottilie’s unpublished autobiography, completed around 2001. Research files in Sub-Subseries 1 contain photocopies of primary sources and notes related to her parents, Alfred and Clara. It is clear from the format of the materials and dates on several items that this research was conducted during a later time period and presumed to be related to research for Chapter 1 of this memoir and not Alaska Homestead.
  • Subseries D: Alaska Homestead, an unpublished biography of Ottilie’s parents, Alfred Silverthorne Kepner and Clara ​​Reissenweber Kepner and their life in Alaska, told in the first person using letters passed between the couple and oral history interviews conducted by Ottilie. Ottilie completed the book in 1947 and was unsuccessful in getting it published.
  • Subseries E: Nome, Alaska’s Early Union Movement: An unpublished manuscript on the early 20th century history of labor organizing in Nome, Alaska prior to World War I. Ottilie researched the book in the 1980s, including visiting Alaska for several research trips which are documented in this subseries. She completed the manuscript in 1996.
  • Subseries F: The Sailors' Union of the Pacific, published in 1942. Although originally credited to Peter B. Gill as the primary author, Ottilie was actually co-author of the book, a process she describes in her autobiography on pages 143-148 and 153 as well as the Preface of Maritime Solidarity. Additional evidence of Markholt’s authorship can be found in the Administrative Files sub-subseries containing correspondence and records of payment for her work as well as the Research Files and Drafts sub-subseries containing notes, outlines, and manuscript drafts.
The remaining three subseries contain administrative files, research materials, and drafts of articles, essays, bibliographies, and other writings directly related to Seattle and Tacoma labor history, other labor history-related topics not specific to Seattle or Tacoma, and other research and writing, including an unpublished novel called Walk Into the Ghetto; a high school term paper; poems, some personal and others directly related to Washington labor and politics; reflections on her personal life, possibly journal entries; and two articles published in 1966 and 1967 issues of Negro Digest (later re-named Black World) on the role of white progressives in the Civil Rights Movement.
Subseries B through F are subdivided into two sub-subseries, Administrative Files and Research Files and Drafts except for Subseries A: Maritime Solidarity where the drafts have been separated into their own sub-subseries due to volume. Subseries C only has three files and has not been subdivided.

Project and event files include drafts, graphics, correspondence, meeting minutes, flyers, and handouts regarding publication of the illustrated booklet To Live in Dignity: Pierce County Labor, 1883-1989 featuring written contributions from 32 affiliated local unions and the Pierce County Central Labor Council Picture Project, an exhibit of 50 poster-sized historical images documenting labor in the county. These two projects were coordinated in conjunction with broader efforts to celebrate the centennial of Washington’s statehood in 1989. Ottilie was a member of the Labor Centennial Booklet Committee and also helped to coordinate the pictorial exhibit. Also included are records from the annual Solidarity Day event which Ottilie co-founded as well as May Day, Labor History Month, and the annual Ralph Chaplin Memorial at Calvary Cemetery held on Labor Day.

SERIES 7: LABOR STUDIES
This series includes proposed curriculum, lesson plans, and reading suggestions as well as packets from labor studies workshops. There are also several files from Bob Markholt’s labor studies courses at the Tacoma Community College in the 1970s and notes and publicity material from labor history talks given by Ottilie. Some of these materials may be related to efforts of the Pierce County Central Labor Council to integrate labor studies into community college curriculum, but it is unclear, so this is broken out as its own series.

SERIES 8: OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL INVOLVEMENT
Records of the Tacoma NAACP in Subseries A relate primarily to newsletter drafting while Ottilie held the position of Editor during the 1960s. The Three Stars Education Club records in Subseries B contain bylaws as well as financial records of the organization. The bylaws suggest that the club was formed by members of the Tacoma-Olympia Branch of the IWW. Financial records indicate that Ottilie was in charge of the bookkeeping and that the club was active from the early 1970s into 2001.

SERIES 2: RESEARCH NOTES AND RESOURCES
Ottilie filed her notes and resources into three main categories: “Early”, “1929-1934”, and “1929 and After”, divided similarly to the different time periods covered in her book Maritime Solidarity. Some of the files on “1929 and After” are subdivided into different topical areas, such as “1936-37 Strike” and “Seamen”. Ottilie’s original inventory also listed the individual primary and secondary sources consulted for the notes contained in each file of this series. This item level description is maintained in the inventory of this finding aid under the description for each file. There are also actual copies of primary and secondary sources in these files accompanying some of the notes, most of which are photocopies; however, there are some originals. When applicable, the item level description for that resource indicates whether it's a photocopy or an original in brackets.
