Note: Martha and Fred left West Plains, MO about July 29th and arrived in Tacoma August 2, 1919. They came by train to the Union Station in Tacoma. The next morning they took the train on down south of Olympia towards Centralia. The Mason County Logging Company had built a spur out to the main line. This was August the 3rd, and Fred's 24th birthday. Martha was just 22 the previous February. When they got to the spur, there was a little engine called "The 8 Spot" waiting there, and Martha said, "And who should I see but my brother Lem climbing off that engine to greet us. He was the engineer and it was a happy meeting for me. They called that place "the junction", the engine had a passenger car hooked onto it and that was how we rode into Bordeaux. I will never forget what my brother told me later. It was always so hot in Missouri in June, July and August and I always got as brown as a biscuit, and Lem said, "Mike" (his nickname for her) I thought you were and Indian Mammie when you got off the train."
Note: Martha Yates and William Frederick Scott were married in the Aid Hardware Co. store as a business promotion by C. T. Aid, owner. The best man was Claude Cafferty and the bridesmaid was Freda Pearl Bell Taylor.
