Hello, again, Marilyn, I want to do a short "side piece" on Charles Heman SWIFT, M.D. (b. 14 Sep 1811; d. 15 Jul 1885) who was mayor of Sacramento for nine years beginning in 1862. Don't make a special effort....but, if you run across any information, or a portrait of Swift...please keep me in mind. A Little Background: Dr. Swift was the brother-in-law of my g-grandfather, Francis (Frank) Wyman Page. He studied medicine at the University Vermont in 1830. He went to Alabama in 1837 and was mayor of Allenton, Alabama from 1842 to 1845. He removed to California in 1849 with his wife, Adelia Parsons (Stoddard), and was treasurer of Sacramento County in 1850. He was an Associate Justice of the Court of Sessions (1851-2); President of the Levee Commission (1862) and President of the Sacramento Board of Trustees and Board of Health. He was also Ex-officio Commissioner of Police and president of the Sacramento Savings Bank. I'm guessing that Dr. Swift was influential in helping with the growth of "Page, Bacon and Company." Marilyn, please know that I realize how busy you are....but, I thought I would "plant a seed", just in case you run into any valuable information in Sacramento. Thanks again, David Winslow Page [email protected]
