Historic Hood River
Cora and Mattie Mayes
5-8-2026

Notes
These are sisters Cora and Mattie Mayes, circa 1900. We know they performed in plays together, and Mattie married Clyde Bonney. Bonney worked as a butcher and owned a market, Reciprocity Corner. Cora and Mattie’s brother Edward Mayes owned a meat market— perhaps he and Bonney worked together before Reciprocity Corner?
