6Ma’ Whaley Makes
Home For Ten
Happy Families
The following is a portion of an
article in a recent issue of the
Seattle Post Intelligencer.
“Returning to Seattle after 7
years in Nome, Mrs. B. V. Whaley,
affectionately known as ‘Ma Wha
ley* purchased an old house at
9125 Rainier Ave., with the inten
tion of converting it into a sana
tarium.
Mrs. Whaley had spent much of
her tiitie in Nome entertaining the
service men, and with a boy of
her own in service, she became
quite disturbed over stories of
lack of housing, so plans for the
sanatarium were shelved.
The result might be an argu
ment for some sort of community
living, or merger of the armed
forces. There are ten families,
army, navy, merchant marine—31
people, including the toddlers, and
of course, Ma Whaley—living in
the old mansion in a spirit of
happy cooperation.
Each family has one room for
actual living quarters. Most of the
19 rooms are large and well light
ed, and a typical main floor room
opened on the great, old-fashioned
fireplace. There were a few pic
tures and books in the room, uni
forms and dresses hung sharply
pressed on the hangers, and a bes
‘sinet was placed under the win
dow. It had an air of being lived
in by people who were used to
moving.
1 To one who has watched with
amazement the confusion created
by his wife making a cake, it
seemed impossible that 10 fam
ilies could share one kitchen. Mrs.
Whaley said her servicemen were
stationed at different places, and
left at different times.
“There is a great deal of give
and take, too,” she said.
There are tables scattered over
the old family dining room, and
each tennant has his or her place.
Each shares somewhat in the
housework, too.
The front stoop was loaded with
shining milk bottles, and lines of
white washing, mostly square
pieces of white cotton, were snap
ping in the wind. Mrs. Whaley
said that she supplied the wash-1
ing machine, and that they had
as many as four washings a day. j
“Seattle bows low to “Ma Wha-!
ley, a champion of western hos
pitality, a landlady, known affec
tionately as “Mom”.
i
Besides the brood which she I
i has adopted, or have adopted her, i
Mrs. Whaley is the mother of 3
; sons, all in aviation. Frank is an |
! Alaska pilot and senator, George ;
, R. is a Pan Am chief mechanic,;
and Lt. Jack Pershing Whaley is j
an army pilot still overseas.
