MT. BROOK MISSES ELWIN WELDON
Mt. Brook, Aug. 8 -- By the death of Elwin Weldon the
Mt. Brook district lost one of its most upright and influential citizens.
By hard work and sound judgment he had developed one of the best ranches
in the White Salmon valley.
He had a splendid herd of beef cattle and knew exactly
how to handle it. In him was exemplified the old saying, "The eye of the
master fattens his cattle."
The Weldon garden was probably the best and largest in
the mountain district and he took great pride and pleasure in it.
He was an active and enthusiastic community worker and
especially interested in anything to help the young people. A dynamo of energy,
he was a strong support in any enterprise. For several terms he was president
of our community club and made a fine record.
As a successful farmer, an enterprising and square dealing
citizen, and a good neighbor, Mountain Brook will miss Elwin Weldon.
