She was Lewis County's New Year baby for 1957 born at Morton hospital. She grew up at Randle and graduated from White Pass High School. she now lives in Puyallup, Washington. Elmer and Ruth farmed, milking cows and raising beef. They shipped milk to Darigold in Chehalis and later sold cream to them. Elmer worked in the woods for his Uncle Harvey Webster and for himself. He logged with Duly Morris a few years. He also hauled alfalfa hay from eastern Washington, mostly around Othello. After an illness he sold his truck and drove for Pacific Lumber Company about three years, until his death January 26, 1981. Ruth lives on the farm, milking a couple of cows and raising beef. She still makes butter and yogurt, and enjoys the beautiful "Big Bottom Country". By Ruth Webster
