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.
