Mary E. Theler Community Center people

Sam & Mary Theler


Sam & Mary Theler.  Sam and Mary Theler were prominent "pioneers" in the development of Belfair ("Clifton" in those days) and the North Mason community. Their grocery store was a central meeting place for area residents and Sam's bequest of real estate to found and sustain Mary E. Theler Community Center provided the "sense of place" necessary to make the Belfair area a community.
