Tonasket - Mary Adaline Michels, 85, a pioneer of this area, died Thursday in a rest home in Tonasket.
A native of Oregon, she was born April 3, 1883, and at the age of 11 years she came to Okanogan County with her family from Baker, Ore., by covered wagon. The family settled on Pine Creek.
On Dec. 25, 1897 she married Charles Michels and they homesteaded on Pine Creek. In 1943 they moved to Tonasket and two years later they moved to Omak. Mr. Michels died in 1960. The next year she entered the rest home.
Mrs. Michels was a member of the Methodist Church and was known here for her dauntless spirit and charity in spite of physical handicap.
In 1907 she was left crippled by a spinal disease.
When her daughter, Mrs. Nora Beeman, died in 1930, leaving four small children, Mrs Michels took the orphans into her home and raised them.
Surviving are: two daughters, Marie McCallum, Riverside, and Evelyn Hylton, Omak; her sons, Edgar of Okanogan and Fred of Wenatchee; and grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, numbering more than 90.
