MABEL DEYOE DIES MONDAY IN MEDFORD

     Klickitat County lost one of its best known women this week with the passing of Mabel H. DeYoe. Death came in a Medford hospital where she and her husband were in southern Oregon, in poor health for several months. Mrs. DeYoe was the victim of a coronary occlusion, complicated by pneumonia contracted a few days prior to her death on Monday May 10.
     Though best known in the White Salmon area as a business woman, Mrs. DeYoe is more generally known in the county as a former educator. She served two terms as County Superintendent of Schools from 1915 to 1918. Her most significant accomplishment during that period was introduction in Klickitat County of the 4H program. Both before and after her service as County Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. DeYoe, then Mabel Hinshaw, held various posts in the Klickitat and Lewis Counties as teacher and school administrator. She attended Washington State College where she graduated with honors, being elected to Phi Kappa Phi, National Scholastic Honorary Fraternity.
     Mrs. DeYoe gave up school work for marriage in 1926 when she married Bertram H. DeYoe, formerly of Goldendale. After living in Seattle for several years, the DeYoes returned to White Salmon where they have been in business. Their first enterprise upon returning to Klickitat county was the DeYoe's Auto Supply and, since 1948, they have been proprietors of The Style Shop in White Salmon.
     Always a capable and willing community worker, Mrs. DeYoe has taken an active part in White Salmon affairs. She was a past president of the American Legion Auxiliary, past Matron of the Order of Eastern Star and was active in Chamber of Commerce Committee work.
     Mrs. DeYoe was born near Goldendale in 1888, the daughter of Teunis and Lucinda Hinshaw. The family moved to White Salmon in 1911.
     She is survived by her husband, Bertram, of White Salmon. Also surviving are her one brother, E.T. Hinshaw of Seaside, Calif., and six sisters. They are Mrs. R.D Gray and Mrs. Roy H. Cain of White Salmon, Mrs. E.R. Hodson of Bellevue, Washington, Mrs. Frank H. Withey of Port Angeles, Wn., Mrs. Dan Coughlin of St. Helens, Ore., and Mrs. William H. Schramm of Portland. The DeYoes, having no children, lavished attention on their numerous nieces and nephews and their children who remember her with great affection.
     Funeral services are scheduled for Gardner's Funeral Chapel in White Salmon at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 13. Reverend George P. George of the Methodist Church will be in charge.
     Mrs. DeYoe's great interest in her church's forthcoming building program has prompted the family to think that many of her friends, in lieu of flowers, may wish to contribute to a Memorial Fund to be used in connection with the new Methodist Church wing to be built soon in White Salmon.
