BIOGRAPHY: She lived in Chewelah, WA in the 1980's. Written by a granddaughter:
Little Granny Bennett. Small but mighty. This little lady loved to go for walks, even well into her eighties, she could outwalk just about anyone.When I would go to visit she would usually want to go to the store. I would reach for the car keys and it was then she would make the announcement that we were going to walk! And we did. Gramma pushed that cart up and down every single isle. She would get the three or four items we needed for lunch and after going though the check out stand (she knew every checker) we would then go for a "short zip" though the park. As soon as we got back to her house she was ready to jump right into making our four course lunch! Gramma liked to talked about family history. She had good stories about her brothers and sisters and the fun things they did while growing up on a farm. Memories about her brother when he jumped out of the barn loft hanging on to an umbrella.  Or the other brother who set the barn on fire while trying to smoke out a rabbit that was under the floorboards. She helped her mother in the kitchen get food ready for the farm hands during grain harvest. Her sisters shared a bed with her. Mornings where chilly. They rushed to the woodstove to warm up. One of her favorite stories was about when her mama had the twins. It was nice to see the expression on her face when she would recall tip toeing into her mothers bedroom and taking her first peek at the two tiny new members to their family. The babies were so small. They were little enough to fit in a shoe box together. They stayed snug and warm in the bread warming compartment of the cookstove! When I was young and visiting at Grammas house, she had cards and coloring books, dolls and books, cookies and cakes, just about anything you could desire. We had good food, good fun, a cozy bed, and a warm lap for hugs. While I was older and taking my children to visit Gramma, I could relive some of those wonderful memories as she shared her home and self with her great-grandchildren. I would take my family history records to her and ask her to look at them. She would do her best to recall memories. We looked at pictures and shared a lot of love. We went through notebooks of information. When she got tired she would shut the book and say "That's enough of that!" But, within a few minutes she would be opening up the notebook again, just to make sure the information was correct. Gramma liked flower gardening. Especially tulips. She used cream and sugar in her morning cup of coffee.  Toothpicks were a must after every meal. She used Dove soap. She enjoyed knitting. She would make hats and mittens for all her grandchildren. As they outgrew "Gramma's knitting" she continued making hats to donate to organizations.

DEATH: She was living at Riverview Estates Care Center at the time of her death.

BIOGRAPHY: Written by a graddaughter:
Grampa Bennett.  Always the kidder with a good sence of humor. Loved baseball,  gardening, fishing, his children and grandchildren. Grampa was a whistler (I never could figure out what the tune was). He was a good listener and seemed to hear "between the lines" picking up on things others didn't have a clue about. He was always tinkering with things. Fixing this or that. Always working on something but willing to stop if you wanted his attention. He shared Chicklets gum. He used Lava soap.

BIOGRAPHY: Marjorie grew up on her father's wheat farm which was six miles southwest of Reardan, Washington on the Edwall road.  She attended school in Reardan and then attended college at the University of Washington in Seattle where she earned her Bachelor degree in Music and was a member of the Phi Mu sorority.  She graduated after the summer quarter in 1946.  She then returned to Reardan and worked for the Lincoln County Auditor's office in Davenport, Washington.
She met her husband Clyde C. Houchin while he was working at the Reardan branch of the Old National Bank.  They were married at her parent's home in Reardan and took a trip through Oregon for their honeymoon.  They had their first home in an apartment on South Madison street.
She worked as a piano teacher and had a studio in the basement of their home at 3609 North Audubon street in Spokane.  She had two pianos and room sufficient for holding student recitals.  She was a member of the Spokane Music Teachers Association and the Accredited Music Teachers Association.
She died of cancer in 1965, survived by her husband Clyde C., two children in grade school, and one child a junior in high school.

Marjorie married Clyde Carlton HOUCHIN, son of Clyde HOUCHIN and Viola Jessie GOURLIE, on 11 Sep 1947 in Reardon, Lincoln, Washington. Clyde was born on 3 Jul 1919 in Long Lake, Lincoln Co., Washington. He died on 28 Sep 2004 in Spokane, Spokane Co., Washington. He was buried on 5 Oct 2004 in Spokane, Spokane Co., Washington, Riverside Cem.

BIOGRAPHY:   Clyde grew up in Long Lake, Washington where his father worked at the Long Lake Dam on the Spokane River.  He attended school there in a one room schoolhouse until he was high school age.  He then moved into Spokane and boarded there while attending North Central High School.  After high school, he moved to Los Angeles and worked there for a short time.  While he was there, he was injured when he was hit by a bus.  Soon after this, the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred and he attempted to enlist in the military, but was rejected due to the after effects of his injury.  He then returned to Colville, Washington where he worked driving a truck for a local distribution company owned by his cousin Darrell Newland.  He was drafted into the Army about April of 1942. His enlistment record dated 22 Apr 1942 in Spokane states his occupation category as "Semiskilled chauffeurs and drivers, bus, taxi, truck, and tractor".
 He served in the US Army Air Corps during World War II.  He  was stationed in Burbank, California at the Lockheed factory to train for work as a mechanic on the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter.  He was then stationed at Santa Rosa and San Diego with P-38 squadrons.  He was later assigned overseas duty in India where he worked on C-46 transport aircraft which were flying supplies into China.
 After the war he began working with Old National Bank in Reardan, Washington.
The story of his hiring is told in an article about his retirement, where he "didn't really want to go to work for the bank back in 1946.  A friend had told him about a teller opening at the Reardan branch and suggested he call for an interview.  Clyde didn't call.  One month later, Reardan's branch manager (a friend of Clyde's friend) called Clyde.  Recently out of the service, Clyde decided that the $100-per-month teller's salary wasn't much, but that he would make do until he found something better somewhere else."  It was while working there that he met his wife Marjorie Weipert.  They lived in Spokane after being married.  Clyde continued his career with the bank at the Fairchild, Garland, Manito, and North Division branches in the Spokane area.  He worked as a teller, loan officer, and then later became manager of the Manito branch (September 1960) and Garland branch (1969).  He retired August 1st, 1981.
 After Marjorie died in 1965, he remarried in 1971 to Corinne (Bullard) Jones.
 The new combined family now consisted of six children, three from each side.
During his retirement years, Clyde has enjoyed traveling to places in Europe, the Caribbean, and especially Hawaii.  He also plays golf and has done volunteer work for his church and the local Lions Club.
