Sada M. Eveleth
Sada Eveleth, a woman who
preferred a good berry patch on a
summer day to a tea party, died on
March 26. She was 97 and a Shelton
resident.
She was bern
on January 20,
1.910 as Sadie
Mae Johnson,
a name she re-
garded as stodgy
and mundane.
"My grandmoth-
er always called
me Sada Mary,
so I used that,
liked it a lot bet-
ter than Sadie,"
she would say.
She had an SadaM.
independent ha- Eveleth
ture, liked coun-
try life and, for most of her life, en-
joyed the peace and quiet of rural
Mason County, her family said.
She was born in the home of an
aunt located on Cota Street between
Fifth and Sixth streets in Shelton.
Her father, Albert Johnson, came
from Iowa to New Kamilche as a
bey in 1890. Her mother, Flora
(Hilts) Johnson, came from Michi-
gan in 1905. She met and married
Albert and lived the rest of her life
next to Goldsborough Creek west of
Shelton.
Mr. Johnson owned and operated
a shingle mill on the south shore of
Lost Lake, where Mrs. Eveleth lived
for a time as a child.
Much of her early adult life was
spent as a farm wife. She could
worry the last drop of milk from the
teats of a cow, slop hogs, feed her
chickens, keep a fire going in the
kitchen stove and have dinner ready
when her family came in from their
chores. She grew a garden, picked
anything wild, canned everything,
baked bread and could turn out the
best mincemeat pie.
As a child she learned photogra-
phy using a Kodak box camera. On
graduating from Irene S. Reed High
School, she worked at Heckman's
studio at 123 Railroad Avenue, de-
veloping film, retouching negatives
and tinting portraits ani' scenes.
When the Shelton hospital got its
first x-ray machine, she developed
the film at the studio. She worked
for Delany, then Andrews and then
Dean Palmer as the photo shop
changed hands over the years.
She continued retouching work,
doing it at home well into the 1960s.
For a time, while living at Buck
Prairie, she owned and operated a
photo shop in Elma.
She married Howard McIntosh.
They later divorced. Then she mar-
ried Marion Eveleth, a part-time
farmer and employee of the Mason
County Creamery in Shelton. They
were the first owners of the fermer
county poor farm in Isabella Valley
after it was closed by Mason County
and sold.
They continued to supply pork,
beef, chicks and other produce di-
rectly to Shelton schools and the
hospital, as had been done previous-
ly by the county. After World War
II, they moved to Buck Prairie and
raised beef cattle. There she became
a member of the Priscilla Club.
n the early 1960s she worked
at the state hospital in Elma as ex-
ecutive housekeeper and resided in
McCleary. She retired in 1975 and
moved to a home on Arcadia Shores
Road, where she lived until May
2002. She moved to Fir Lane Health
and Rehabilitation Center and re-
mained there until her death.
Beginning in high school and
continuing into her early adulthood,
she played the plectrum banjo in lo-
cal dance bands and orchestras. She
was an avid pinochle player and
continued to play the game with her
Cloquallum-area friends into her
late 80s.
Her favorite pastimes included
reading, knitting, raising ducks and
picking huckleberries and blackber-
ries. In her retirement years, she
spent many days walking the beach
on Totten Inlet with her dog, Buddy,
collecting agates.
She was a member of Saint
Edward's Catholic Church and ap-
preciated the many visits by church
members Rosie Stricker and Alice
Chapman.
She was preceded in death by
husband Marion Eveleth in March
1975, brother Robert and sister Vi-
ola, son Keith in 1945 and daughter
Flora Jean Burfiend in 2004.
Surviving are sons Norman
Eveleth and wife Marian and Paul
Eveleth, all of Shelton; daughter
Wanda Eveleth of McCleary; first
cousin Mable Goodwin of Shelton;
nine grandchildren and 11 great-
grandchildren.
A memorial gathering will be an-
nounced at a later date. Inurnment
will be at Shelton Memorial Park.
Memorial donations may be made
to the Mason County Historical So-
ciety, P.O. Box 1366, Shelton.

Funeral Home of Shelton.
Yvonne Claussen
Lifetime Shelton resident Yvonne
Pearl Claussen died in a traffic acci-
dent near Shelton on March 27. She
was 47.
She was bern on October 1, 1959
in Shelton to Norval and Pearl
(Steele) Bina. She attended Shelton
schools and graduated from Shelton
High School in 1978.
She was a devoted mother, wife
and homemaker, her family said.
She held several other jobs, includ-
ing one at Hiawatha and, most
recently, at The Ming Tree restau-

and had many of them painted as
murals on her walls. She was at ev-
ery game to support her girls during
soccer. When she wasn't coaching
the game, she was bringing grapes
to help sustain her adopted soccer
family. She occasionally played in
an adult league.
Mrs. Claussen enjoyed volun-
teering with Fire District 5 as an
emergency medical technician for a
number of years. She loved her ani-
mals and vegetable garden.
She was preceded in death by her

There aren't enough words to really express the apprecia-
tion we have for the many people who attended the funeral.
There were so many that in order to get more people into
the church, the family gave up the front row to sit on the
floor as Vonnie would have wanted, yet it was still overflow-
ing. The many kind words and good stories helped to ease
our pain and sorrow and allowed others to see yet another
side of her.
There were so many donations of food, flowers, money
and gifts that we cannot begin to address individuals with
this thank you. Those of you that have made special efforts
to be with members of the family at this time will always
remain dear to us. Please know that we are touched by your
kindness. Special thanks go to those of Fire District 5, the
Sheriff's office and Vickie and Chris.
The memories you shared will remain with us forever.
Thank you.

Merlino's bid was $150,000 be-

does support the market as part

Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
from May 5 through September 29.
