The Enterprise, White Salmon, WA., June 28, 1918, page 1
EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS YOUNG, J. MAYHEW IS PROUD OF HIS WAR GARDEN
White Salmon's oldest resident, J. Mayhew, celebrated his 85th birthday last Friday by having his picture taken in his war garden among corn, potatoes and other vegetables, that are growing most wonderfully and give promise of an enormous yield. The war garden comprises six city lots. It means lots of work, but Mr. Mayhew is equal to the task. He enjoys the best of health and leads a very active life. Everyday sees him busily engaged in his war garden, cultivating the various plants and coaxing them to grow to sizes that many an expert gardener would point to in a boasting manner. Besides this garden, Mr. Mayhew busys himself with his fine flock of Single Comb Rhode Island Red chickens which at the last Western Klickitat County Fair carried seven blue ribbons.
J. Mayhew was born in England in 1833 and was brought to this country by his parents when he was six months old. The Mayhews were pioneers in Minnesota, living there when Minnesota was a territory. After making their home in that state for 40 years they moved to this state and settled in the Palouse Country and in 1902 came to White Salmon. His estimable wife will be 75 years old in October. They have been married 59 years.
Mr. and Mrs. Mayhew have three children living -- Mrs. Rosabelle Weir, of Washougal, Mrs. Lilly Kellogg, of Newport, Wash., and W.I. Mayhew, of this city. Two other children died some years ago.
