Gray Beck and Jack Sheraton of the Boy Scouts.
The first house built in Snohomish, now 96 years old, still stood at 17 Avenue A behind the Eagles Hall. It was built by E.C. Ferguson, “Father of Snohomish,” when he homesteaded on land he found while searching for a desirable ferry crossing. The house was owned by Mrs. Mable Mero and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. James Harkness.
