Yes, one of historic Snohomish's landmark sites, The Cabbage Patch Restaurant that many of you may have visited when you visited Snohomish was gutted in the top story of the 1910 former residence near Ave A and First Street Friday morning. The fire was so intensive that the restaurant is our of business for the time being. It had a fireplace, and Victorian charm in appearance, and food to complement its decor. Read about this Snohomish landmark via: Ref. The HERALD, Everett, WA. Date: Sat. Apr 10, 2004 (Good Friday) Section: Headline Site: http://www.heraldnet.com/about Article: Blaze guts landmark Snohomish's historic Cabbage Patch restaurant burns An official says the cause of the fire likely was an electrical problem. By Diana Hefley, Herald Writer Color PIX accompana the article The fire actually started late Thursday night. Owner hopes eatery will be rebuilt. * * * The Cabbge Patch site is say 8/10ths of a mile from where I live and probably 1/10th of a mile from where I was born. My uncle and aunt who raised me from age 3, Mr. and Mrs Herbert O. Ness lived right next door to the house that became the Cabbage Patch Restaurant when they married in 1912. The Restaurant house was built originally in 1910, I understand. The brick building next to it that faces on front street was a motion picture theatre - I believe the name of it was Princess Theatre. I can recall it when it was still in operation. Avenue A beginning at First St was the beginning of my Everett Daily Herald route. I had as many as 92 customers back in 1938-39 and the Herald was $.50/month, but it went up to $.55/mo and several people quit because it was too expensive and the "format" was not to their liking at the time. Politics was included in the "format" ! The Snohomish Fire Station was at the top of the hill on the corner of Ave A and 2nd Street. I live a block and a half east of the Fire Station where I was born and where I grew up right across the Street from Star Mall Antiques and the Collector's Choice Restaurant. That building was the former Washington National Guard Armory when that building was built in 1929 as the armory. WWII profited greatly from the expertise that was developed among the National Guard regular preparedness exercises, as a great number of officers and prepared guardsmen attained their training there. I know because I witnessed their many training exercises from age 6 on to the war years of WWII. I knew most if not all the guardsmen who trained there. Many of their names are on the granite memorial in front of the old Carnegie Library site to this day. Carroll in Snohomish who is back active on ham radio Thanks to a Former Student in PA who retired from FCC and encouraged me to get back on the air again. I'm back pounding the telegraph keys again. I had that student way back in 1959 in a high school radio class. Mike is married to a lady who is a M.D., has her own Clinic in PA. where the retired Mike works in her clinic keeping records and phone calls "ship shape". When a former student sends you a great piece of ham gear (a transceiver) to get you to go back on the air, you know he means business. I had been off the air for the last 8 yrs. doing genealogy - a great diversion but then the gen bug bit me way back in 1983. I love it when I can contact a ham in CT, or MA as they oftentime can talk a bit of genealogy also, even if it is via telegraphy - we love those dotsendashes which sound like music to us - the diehards !!!!!!!!! * * * 30 * * * COMMENT:

I have gained Patsy's permission to send copies of this reply to PSRoots and WASNOHOM. Carroll in Snohomish. * * * 30 * * * ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry+Patsy To: Carroll Clark Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 5:08 PM Subject: JACKPOT, I GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am kicking myself for not think of posting to WASNOH years ago. You are all wonderful. Yesterday, I was emailed a picture of John W and someone offered to get me a copy of the obit!!! And now YOU!!!!!! I am so overjoyed I can hardly type. My maiden name was Patsy WHITE and I have been interested in the WHITE family since I was 10 or 12. I am now 47, my children are grown and I have time to devote to my passion (not hobby), the WHITE family. Our ancestor we go back to is Zachariah WHITE b 6-11-1814 in PA and migrated to Knox Co, OH. I live in the neighboring county of Morrow. Zachariah had 11 children, 9 lived to become adults. My ancestry is from his son Henry. I met a descendant from another son, Columbus Delano on the internet two years ago, and she and I have been really digging. Debi lives in California, but grew up in Knox County and she comes home once a year and we have met twice, but we call and email regularly. We want to find one living descendant from each child to share with them their heritage. We have so much information. At the beginning of this year, we had four descendants to find. Since then, we have found two and have had two left, until today. BLESS YOU. Now, thank to you, we have John W (soon) and only have one brother left! John W, as the oldest son, was born in PA. The rest were born in OH. John W was the only one to move out of state, and has been hard to track. He is the one we know least about and are so excited to find. Please feel free to give them my information, and assure them I am selling NOTHING but only want to give them copies of pictures and information and answer any questions they want to know! Thank you for responding, and I hope to hear from you, or them, or both very soon. THANK YOU! ! ! ! ! !

Here is my response to the original White Family Query. Carroll in Snohomish ----- Original Message ----- From: Carroll Clark To: WASNOHOM-L@rootsweb.com Cc: mapleheights@marion.net Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 9:06 AM Subject: WHITE FAMILY FYI: Dear Patsy - I am happy to say that I can help you. I am a personal friend of Homer, Warren, Alpha, and Bob. Homer White was a man to be proud of - a "go getter" who was very well liked in Snohomish. He was a businessman, an entrepreneur type - nimble, a fun person whom my family ( Herb Ness of Snohomish "Mr. Baseball"). Homer had several restaurants in Snohomish. My wife who worked in Everett knew him when he'd come in to have paperwork done for his work. Homer would be a great person to be related to. His son Warren I knew but not as well as the others. I knew/know Alpha, his dau. - she & her husb. live less than a mile from me and we greet one another often - most often at the grocery store. In fact I waved to her husband, Herb Hammons just yesterday as he was coming out of the local store. I knew Herb and Alpha back in high school when they were going together as sweethearts. Top notch people. Herb very active in baseball and other sports at good ole Snohomish High. Then I was in classes with Robert L. BISNETT from Central Grade School, Snohomish and we have always been close friends. We meet ever so often to exchange memories of past ( girls, et al !). Bob hasn't changed a bit - he ages well and he's about my age 79 going on 80!. Bob lives in North part of Seattle and South of Lynnwood. He was a teacher, and a good one! So, you see you have hit the Jackpot by the posting to WASNOH. Now, I'd like to know where your LIVE, what you Surname is and a bit about you which you can send to me personally e-mail. I think you will have made the connection you seek. I will show your query to Alpha and any other info you send me and you folks can trade info to your hearts desire. I am so happy that I can help you make contact with some of the Whites who are alive and are desc. of Homer a most honorable person in Snohomish. The Snohomish Historical Society should have a good file on file re Homer White who was very well known and honored among our village. Homer White knew EARL AVERILL, our honored Baseball Hall of Famer whose HONOR has been neglected by our Snohomish Historical Society and City of Snohomish for some time now by people who should know the history of Snohomish by digging for it rather than putting their whole efforts toward restoring old houses as their main FOCUS. I realize that these are not the most Friendly words, but TRUTH WILL OUT! I hope someday that this community will finally come to grips and honor one of the persons who has put S n o h o m i s h on the Maps by his efforts, and expertise. Who will be the "first" to acknowledge this? Carroll in Snohomish, "Resident Ruminator". P.S. Gungey Avenue D. is finally getting some Attention - long overdue!!!! * * * 30 * * *

I am re-posting this Query to both bulletins in hope that possibly other family members may see it. I am able to help a bit on this one, so I wanted to follow up on it a bit.

I read your posting twice, and would like to volunteer to trade lookups and services. Bartering is a really good idea. I am not a professional, but I love the research. Right now I live in Pacific County, WA just up the hill from the Fern Hill Cemetery, Raymond, WA. I'm happy to go down and take photos, look up info at the courthouse, etc. I can also check with the mortuaries and other cemeteries in the Grays Harbor, Pacific, Lewis and Thurston County areas of Washington state. Right now I can't think of anything I need from Salt Lake City, but maybe someday. My family research goes from Maine to Washington and all the places along the way. I've done pretty good on my own and once in a while hit a brick wall. In the meantime, if you need a warm body to do some footwork, just let me know. I like the exchange of services idea a lot. I'm sure we can work it out pretty equitably. Evelyn Huff at huff@willapabay.org.

http://www.uscitydirectories.com/index.html This website lists known city directories and where you can find them. There are links to the holding library and you can order copies online. And to all of the non-profit organizations and societies and local libraries out there, please consider adding your volumes to this website. I noticed a complete lack of listings for the Seattle area, other than the usual Family History Libraries, NARA, etc., where they are on microfilm. I know the books themselves exist at several locations in the Puget Sound area as well. Come on, everybody, let's get our city directories added to the list! It may also be a good way to attract new customers--i.e., "donations"--for the non-profits, and a way to get new walk-ins, who often become new members. Who doesn't need that?!

Although this is a cemetery out of our Puget Sound area, I think most people will agree that it does affect us all. It's an issue we have seen rear its ugly head in this area as well, and I would urge people to be supportive of efforts to save our historic, hallowed places from destruction and disrespect. Sherry Steele -------------------- CLIP ----------------------- Received this by email from another list and is a concern. Wal-Mart want to put their store on the site. Feel free to circulation this petition notice to other appropriate lists. David Samuelsen (signed the petition) Paramount Development Corp. has approached the City of Fayetteville, WV and asked that they re-zone a 60-acre farm on the edge of town for commercial use. Paramount Development intends to build 2 large buildings that Wal-Mart and Lowes will occupy as well as several smaller out parcels. The 60-acre tract of land however is what is known as the Fleshman/Clark farm, it was the site of the Sept 10, 1862 Battle of Fayetteville. The site also contains a battlefield cemetery, which contains the graves of at least 24 American soldiers. This property is in imminent danger of being developed, which would mean this hallowed ground would be lost forever. We are asking that the City of Fayetteville deny the request by Paramount Development Corp. to rezone the property and help to preserve Americas ever shrinking battlefield land, as well as, preserve and protect the hallowed ground. We owe it to ourselves and to our ancestors to protect this land that they fought and died for, this honored field where the dead from the battle rest in their graves.
