Ezra Meeker, from Puyallup? or is Puyallup from Ezra??
I have some more pictures from Puyallup and of the story about Ezra Meeker. He came to this area in the early 1900’s looking for some land to farm. Who knew that Real Estate would become this important to us all?
This might be what Mt. Rainier looked like when Ezra Meeker arrived in Puyallup.
Do you think, in Ezra’s wildest dreams, he could have imagined this view?
It is common to name schools after UNcommon men, such as Ezra Meeker.
Wow! Even a street named after the man, Ezra Meeker. Someone thought this man important enough to have his name all over town.
I have more….but, I will save some for later. This farmer, Ezra Meeker made a pretty wide swath in our end of the Valley.
I am happy and proud to live where he walked, toiled, farmed, lived and grew his crops and children…..Puyallup.
Thank you all for listening, Dennis Endres.
