NANCY SPAETH, NEE MATHEWSON DAUGHTER OF LUMBER PIONEER DIES AT 89 March 1998 Nancy Mathewson Spaeth, 89, a daughter of a pioneering Everett lumber family, died Saturday, Feb. 28th, on Mercer Island. She was born in Everett Oct. 9, 1908, the daughter of Elsie Headlee Mathewson and Edward Mathewson, an Everett mill owner. Edward Mathewson was the nephew of Everett founder, Henry Hewitt, Jr. Her father died when she was 3, and her mother later married Joseph Irving, her father's business partner. Her grandparents, Ephriam Headlee and Harriett Humes Headlee came to Snohomish Co. in 1889-90. They homesteaded in Granite Falls and later Snohomish. Mrs. Spaeth attended school in Los Angeles as a teen and performed as an extra in Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments". She returned to Seattle and graduated from the University of Washington, in political science, in 1930. The former debutante then became one of the state's first social workers, implementing President Franklin D. Roosevelt's relief act, said her daughter, Nancy Hewitt Spaeth. She married Edwin Griffin of Tacoma in 1933. They divorced and she married H. Willard Spaeth in 1946. During World War II, she was a driver for military officers stationed at Pier 91. Later during the war, she broadcast the news from radio station KRKO in Everett and also worked as a copywriter there in the 1950's. Marysville City Council member, Shirley Bartholomew, remembers her fondly from the radio station where they worked together. "It was a fun time in broadcasting, before the era of rock and roll. It was still in the days of network brosdcasting", she said. "Nancy was a copywriter but she also did some on air work. She'd do 'women's show' kinds of things, little quarter hours aimed at the house wife, throwing in an occasional recipe." "She was probably more sophisticated than Everett itself," Bartholomew said. "In a sense, her death marks the conclusion of the timber baron era in Everett." Mrs. Spaeth is survived by her children, Edward I. "Ted" Griffin, James Scott Griffin, Nancy Hewitt Spaeth, Charles W. Spaeth, 12 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and her sister Cornelia "Nene" Mathewson Fitch Eggers of Seattle.

Snohomish County Tribune 2-18-1897 On Monday last news reached the city of the death of Parker McKensie in a hotel at Victoria while en route to the northern gold fields. The partiulars are given in a dispatch to the Seattle Post Intelligencer as follows: Parker McKenzie, who registered at the Australian hotel on Sunday last from Seattle was found dead in his bed this morning having died from asphyxiation. Among his papers were a number of tax receipts dated from Snohomish, Wash., and signed T. McKensie, which would show that he was a collector of poll tax in that city. He had a ticket for Skagway, and had been here preparing for his northern trip. He went to bed shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. Late this afternoon the clerk noticed a strong smell of gas in the hall, and opening the room occupied by Mr. McKenzie found him dead. He had turned out the gas, but in doing so turned the key back again. He evidently died in his sleep. The Snohomish friends of Park McKenzie are shocked by the news of this death and do not believe that it was due to design on his part. Parker McKenzie was one of the owners of the Silverton townsite, which property was in great demand early last year. The destruction of the Everett & Monte Cristo railway in the fall took the value out of this property, and McKenzie decided to start fot the Yukon country, and had started to meet a party which was to include his brother from Canada. He was a brother to C.P. McKenzie, who died so mysteriously, on the Silverton trail some years since. Parker McKenzie was a prominent young Democrate worker in years gone by, but in the last campaign was an outspoken champion of McKinley and the gold standard, being one of eight out of Silverton's 200 voters to cast a ballot for McKinley and Hobart. Some years ago he was a wealthy cattleman in Alberta province. Since coming to Snohomish County he has been a surveyor and contractor. Last summer he built the flumes for the water power for both the "45" Consolidated and Independent mining companies. McKensie's parents live at Edmonton, N.W.T. Miss Margaret McKensie, who lived with her brother in Snohomish for some years is also at Edmonton.

Snohomish County Tribune 3-3-1899 1877-1899 The saddest duty which has fallen to the writer for years, is to announce to the public, the death of Miss Myrtle McNaughton, which occurred at the home of her mother on Ave. C last Saturday morning at 6:30 o'clock, after an illness of but ten days. On Friday it had been given out that Myrtle was better, and her physician had hopes of her ultimate recovery; consequently when the announcement of her death was made, the whole city was shocked by the sad news. Miss McNaughton had not been entirely well since her sickness of a year ago. She had suffered much with stomach trouble and fainting spells. When prostrated on Wednesday, the 15th, she was taken with a violent hemorrhage of the stomach, which was followed by three others, cause by an ulcer of the inner lining of that organ. This loss of blood weakened her, and she gradually failed until the last, although at times she apparently rallied, and renewed hopes of her recovery were entertained. Myrtle A. McNaughton was born in Snohomish Oct. 28, 1877. With the exception of a few years in the early 80's which, with her mother and sister Miss Jennie, she spent in Minnesota, her life was all spent in her native town. Here she grew from girlhood into a radiant womanhood, and by her sweet manner grew into the lives and hearts of the people. She will be sadly missed by young and old, especially by the sorrowing and bereaved mother and sister. The funeral was held at the Congregational church Monday afternoon and was the largest attended funeral held in Snohomish in years. Many coming from Tacoma, Seattle and Everett to be present. The Rebekah's, of which order Miss McNaughton was a member, and an officer of Rose Rebekah Lodge #51, attended in a body. Snohomish G.A.R. Cemetery McNaughton John J.
