Mat and Martha Verhonick, Enumclaw, 1970
Order an ImageMathew H. "Mat" and Martha Veronick lived on a 80-acre farm in Enunclaw that Mat Veronick inherited from his father, who was a Slovenian immigrant. The Verhonicks lived without electricity, television, or a phone on the farm and were the subject of several features in the Seattle Times for their "simple" life. This portrait of the couple was taken by photographer Josef Scaylea in 1970.
Scaylea (1913-2004) worked for 35 years as chief photographer for the Seattle Times, winning over 1000 awards for his photographs highlighting the scenery and people in the Pacific Northwest. He donated a collection of his photographs and photography equipment to MOHAI in 1993.
