     Mary Meyer was born in Jordan, Minnesota, April 1, 1888, one of six children of Mr. and Mrs. John Meyer. She died at her home in White Salmon, Saturday, April 30, after a brief illness.
     In 1897 John Meyer moved his wife and six children from the midwest to the picturesque Bear Valley, north of BZ Corners, when Mary was nine years old. She grew up there.

     The Bear Valley ranch was sold to Forrest Wallace in 1956 and Mary and John Weingartner moved to White Salmon where they purchased the Jerry Zwynen home.
     Survivors include her husband, John A.; sisters, Mrs. Matilda Raymond, Trout Lake and Mrs. Ray Sutton, Fortuna, Calif.; brothers, Louis Meyer, BZ Corners and John Meyer, Eureka, Calif.; two nieces and nephews, of Walla Walla, Mrs. R.M. Crawford, of Olympia; and nine grandchildren.
