History

County
[p.

"Ezra
Latta,
one of
the
enterprising
businessmen
of
Unity
Township,
was
born in
Beaver
County,
Pennsylvania,
being
one of
two
sons
born to
John
and
Mary
(Rinehart)
Latta.
The
father
was a
Pennsylvanian.
He
afterward
located
in
Ohio,
and
later
in
Illinois
where
he
died.
His
widow
again
married
and had
six
children
by her
second
husband.
She
finally
returned
to
Ohio,
and
died in
Middleton
township
in
1875.
The
other
son of
her
first
marriage
was
John
Latta.
Ezra
was
educated
in an
old log
school
house,
known
as New
Ridge
school-house.
Subsequently
he
learned
the
milling
business,
having
been
apprenticed
to a
man who
operated
a
flour-mill
at Old
Falston,
Beaver
County,
Pennsylvania.
After
completing
his
apprenticeship,
he
removed
to
Columbiana
County,
Ohio,
and
rented
a mill
of John
Crum,
which
he
operated
for ten
or
twelve
years,
when he
was
obligated
to
abandon
the
business
on
account
of
failing
health.
Mr.
Latta
moved
to
Western
Ohio,
and
thence
to
Michigan
and
Indiana,
and for
several
years
was
located
at Fort
Wayne.
In the
course
of time
he
returned
to his
old
home,
and
finding
that
the
mill
had
changed
hands,
he
decided
to
purchase
it.
The man
who was
operating
the
mill
offered
him
one-third
of the
profits
for his
services,
which
he
accepted.
Subsequently,
he
engaged
in
farming,
and has
since
continued
in that
vocation.
In 1844
he was
married
to Miss
Mary
Huesten,
daughter
of
Abram
and
Mary
Huesten,
who at
that
time
were
residents
of
Ohio,
but who
formerly
came
from
Virginia.
Six
children
are the
fruit
of this
union:

Obituary of Marion C. Latta (d. 1924) from The Bellingham Herald, December 9,
1924.
Aged Pioneer Succumbs to Illness
M.C. Latta one of Northwest Washington's best known pioneers,
who was long and on many occasions identified with Whatcom County's official life,
died at his home, 2200 Williams Street, at 9:40 this morning at the age of 80 years.
He had been in ill health for two years and had been confined to his bed for the last
week. Mr. Latta is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Latta; one daughter, Mrs.
Nellie Cole, of Bellingham, and one brother, Alonzo Latta, East Palestine, Ohio,
where Mr. Latta was born. Funeral announcements will be made by Homer Mark. On
September 17, 1867, about eight years before he came West, Mr. Latta married Miss
Mary Eleanor Palamer, of East Palestine, Ohio. He and Mrs. Latta came to
Washington in 1875, when it was a territory, and settled in Seattle. While there he
was elected master of St. John Lodge, the oldest and largest Masonic lodge in that
city. Coming to Bellingham Bay forty-one years ago, in 1883, Mr. Latta quickly
became identified with the life of the community and in the same year was elected a
member of the Whatcom city council. In the following year he was chosen a
school director. He was elected mayor in 1889 and the next year was elected a
member of the board of county commissioners. During his term as commissioner the
present county courthouse was built and his name, carved in a marble tablet, may be
seen, together with the names of other commissioners, at the left of the main
entrance. In 1901, Mr. Latta was elected city treasurer and from 1915 to 1918
he was city street superintendent. A very faithful Mason, Mr. Latta was for
twenty-five years treasurer of Bellingham Bay Lodge No. 44, F.&A.M., and it is said
that during that time he did not miss a single session of the lodge. He also
was a member of the Pioneer Association of Washington. From 1902 to 1904 Mr.
Latta was in the book and stationery business, having a store in the Clover block.
He also engaged in contracting and building for many years. One of Mr. Latta's
hobbies was the keeping of weather records. He began keeping weather reports
many years before the government established a weather station here and he continued
to keep them long thereafter.
