The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

The children of Mary Jacobson held a 90th birthday celebration for their mother on February 17 at the Monticello Hotel in Longview. Seventy-five family and friends attended the gathering. Mary was born in Vega, Norway, on February 17, 1923, so the party decorations had a Norwegian theme to honor her heritage. Family and friends entertained with music and Norwegian stories.

Monticello Hotel staff informed Mary and her family that the hotel was also celebrating its 90th birthday in 2013.
