Outstanding students honored by school district Search on for Super Granny NATHANIEL ROSA has been named outstanding 8th grader for the first semester. His parents are Linda and Steve Ross. ABBY WERNER was the 12th grader named outstanding student of the first term. Patsy and James Werner are her proud parents. water. By the way, The Tahuya Log was a good book to get a per- spective of what life was like in this area many years ago. There are three Mickelson headstones as follows: "In Memory of Ole Mickelson, died January 24, 1904, aged 63 years. A Father." He would have been born around 1841. NELS MICKELSON born 1866 died 1899, aged 33 years. Julia Mickelson, born 1894, died 1910, aged 16 years. Was Julia the daughter of Old? He would have been around 53 when she was born, or was he her grandfather? I wonder if we will ever know. There is one last headstone for Eliza Jane Hole, born 1863, died 1899, aged 36 years. Where is she connected to this group? And fi- nally, one marker that has no . name readable but shows the fol- lowing: AGE 62 YEARS, 8 months, 7 days, died August 1941. The fu- neral director was L.S. Pendleton of Port Orchard. I'm hoping to find who lies in that place. Mr. Bruemmer has graciously agreed to let me visit him and his wife to get more information on these people and others of the De- watto area. Mr. Bruemmer lived in and attended the school in De- watto in 1932. I'm looking for- ward to my visit and will share our conversations. I hope you en- joy this look at the past. I certain- ly have enjoyed finding this old cemetery and then beginning to find answers. If anyone has information on these families and would share, please give me a call at 360-372- 2645. My e-mail is alaska@sincere.corn, or fax me at 360-372-2581. I'd love to hear from anybody.

They're looking for a few good grannies. Safeway and the Wash+ ington State Apple Commission is sponsoring a contest to find an on-the-go grandmother from the Pacific Northwest whose lifestyle personifies the healthful attrib- utes of Washington state's famous Granny Smith apples. Cherie Myers, director of pub- lic and government affairs for Safeway, said the company is looking for help to find a special grandma who, like a Granny Smith apple, has "a-peel." "We're looking for grandmoth- ers who are outgoing, live life to the fullest, and are active in their communities," said Myers. "We'll be choosing a winner from our area in April, who will win a $500 prize and a trip to the interna- tional finals in Washington state in May." Myers said the person who nominates the winning grandma will also be invited to the finals. At the Granny finale in May, an overall "Search for Granny Smith" winner will be selected. She will be the commission's offi- cial "spokes granny" tbr the next year, appearing on supermarket posters and traveling the U.S. and Canada to promote apples and healthy lifestyles. Myers said all of the Safeway stores in Washington, Alaska, northern Idaho, and western Montana have contest entry forms available. People can also write, in 100 words or less, what makes their nominee special, and send a non-returnable photo to: Granny Smith, 203 Bellevue Way NE, Suite 164, Bellevue, WA 98004. The deadline for receiving entries in April 2. Myers said the success of the search depends totally on the children, grandchildren, spouses, or friends of noteworthy grand- mas. "Everyone loves grandmas, and we're looking forward to hearing about all the wonderful grandmas in our area," she said. By LORRAINE KELLY After my column last week, I received a phone call which led me to Mr. Henry Bruemmer. Mr. Bruemmer formerly owned the land where we found the old cem- etery. I called Mr. Bruemmer who was nice enough to spend a few minutes on the phone giving me some information on the Dewatto area and the old cemetery. He told me the place he owned was once part of the Nance homestead which is probably why the little cemetery is where it is. Mr. Bruemmer also told me that he made the arrangements for Cecil B. Nance to be buried in this cem- etery last year at the request of Mr. Nance prior to his death. Besides the Nance family buried at this site, we found two more fenced enclosures. The one closest to the Nance enclosure had two headstones: Emily F. Cunningham, born 1835, died 1904, aged 69 years. James Cunningham, born 1837, died 1910, aged 73 years. THERE WAS NO other infor- mation, so they could be husband and wife, or brother and sister. Another mystery to solve. The third enclosure has three headstones all for the Betz fami- ly. John D. Betz, born 1859, died 1922, aged 63 years. Ellonora J. Betz, born 1867, died 1943, aged 76 years. Irving H. Betz, born 1874, died 1944, aged 70 years. I HAVE JUST finished read- ing Tales from a Tahuya Log by Effie DeForest Boyer Knowleton in which the Cunninghams, Betz, and Mickelsons are all men- tioned. I suppose there could be a connection as Tahuya and Dewat- to aren't that far apart by land or i North Mason Area Churches North Mason .....

She will be the commission's offi- cial "spokes granny" tbr the next year, appearing on supermarket posters and traveling the U.S. and Canada to promote apples and healthy lifestyles. Myers said all of the Safeway stores in Washington, Alaska, northern Idaho, and western Montana have contest entry forms available. People can also write, in 100 words or less, what makes their nominee special, and send a non-returnable photo to: Granny Smith, 203 Bellevue Way NE, Suite 164, Bellevue, WA 98004. The deadline for receiving entries in April 2. Myers said the success of the search depends totally on the children, grandchildren, spouses, or friends of noteworthy grand- mas. "Everyone loves grandmas, and we're looking forward to hearing about all the wonderful grandmas in our area," she said. By LORRAINE KELLY After my column last week, I received a phone call which led me to Mr. Henry Bruemmer. Mr. Bruemmer formerly owned the land where we found the old cem- etery. I called Mr. Bruemmer who was nice enough to spend a few minutes on the phone giving me some information on the Dewatto area and the old cemetery. He told me the place he owned was once part of the Nance homestead which is probably why the little cemetery is where it is. Mr. Bruemmer also told me that he made the arrangements for Cecil B. Nance to be buried in this cem- etery last year at the request of Mr. Nance prior to his death. Besides the Nance family buried at this site, we found two more fenced enclosures. The one closest to the Nance enclosure had two headstones: Emily F. Cunningham, born 1835, died 1904, aged 69 years. James Cunningham, born 1837, died 1910, aged 73 years. THERE WAS NO other infor- mation, so they could be husband and wife, or brother and sister. Another mystery to solve. The third enclosure has three headstones all for the Betz fami- ly. John D. Betz, born 1859, died 1922, aged 63 years. Ellonora J. Betz, born 1867, died 1943, aged 76 years. Irving H. Betz, born 1874, died 1944, aged 70 years. I HAVE JUST finished read- ing Tales from a Tahuya Log by Effie DeForest Boyer Knowleton in which the Cunninghams, Betz, and Mickelsons are all men- tioned. I suppose there could be a connection as Tahuya and Dewat- to aren't that far apart by land or i North Mason Area Churches North Mason .....
