Latzel marks 99 years By MARY DUNCAN Long-time Mason County res- ident Eva Latzel celebrated her 99th birthday October 5. She was born in 1900 in Lon- don, England. Her family im- migrated to Victoria, British Columbia, in 1913. There she met an American soldier in 1914, Her future husband Max was a German immigrant and a natu- ralized citizen. When she mar- ried him in 1919 she became an American citizen. The couple lived in Seattle for a year, where Max worked as a teamster on the hills creating Alaska Way. Then he took a job at the naval yard in Bremerton, which Eva recalled wasn't much in those days. The next stop for the couple was in Clifton, now Belfair. The Latzels ran their own logging camp until 1927. Eva and Max came to Shelton in 1920. She still remembers sit- ting in the Shelton hotel, holding her baby and thinking she would never, ever make her home here. Seventy-nine years later she re- sides downtown. The couple managed the Eldon Hotel, a loggers' hotel for those working the woods in the Ham- ma Hamma area. During the Depression the Latzels rented a farm in the Skokomish Valley and started a milk route, which Eve said grew to become quite large. Finally they bought their own place in the valley, where her grandson Evan Tozier now lives. Eva has clothed many chil- dren in Mason County, especial- ly babies. While running the dairy farm, Max would inform her when one of the milk custom- ers had a baby. She learned to knit, crochet and sew from her mother.
