Checked CAIF and did not come up with anything under Rice, Heatherinton, Bendixon. Did look in a California history book and found mention of the Vigilante committees...there was a reference to a Hetherington, no first name, as being the last of the three executions carried out by the committee...I will check later in the week on Hetherington spelling in CAIF Colleen ---------- | From: Sandra Harris <[email protected]> | To: [email protected] | Subject: [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] RICE/HEATHERINGTON/BENDIXON | Date: Monday, September 14, 1998 5:02 AM | | Richard, have you checked in the Alta index for these names? | Have you checked the CAIF (California Informaton File) for mentions of | these names? | Sandra | | To: [email protected] | Subject: [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] California and B.C. people | | I am looking for information on two women who were allegedly involved | with the San Francisco vigilante movement; Jessie Rice or Heatherington | and Fanny Bendixon, who was the consort of one of the leaders before she | married Louis Bendixon.
