One of our Winnemucca customers, while waiting for a long-distance call, noticed a large snake protruding its head from the coils of the office radiator. The customer, first making sure that he was really seeing a snake, asked the Winnemucca clerk for a ruler and dispatched it after a short and exciting battle. So it is really true that reptiles are being killed on the floor of the Winnemucca office. The sewing club of our Petaluma exchange held its first meeting after the summer season at the home of Miss McFadden. A most delightful time was enjoyed by those present.

Garnier, stenographer for District Wire Chief W. B. Cook, has resumed her duties after a delightful two months' vacation spent with her parents in Bismarck, N.D. She left on the H.F. Alexander, over the Canadian Pacific, and stopped off at Lake Louise and Banff. On her return trip Miss Garnier says she was very fortunate to see the Grand Canyon and visit friends and relatives in Los Angeles. "The trip was all very wonderful, but of all places I've been, there is no place like San Francisco," is her ultimate remark. The following is from a Sebastopol customer, who unhesitatingly corrects us occasionally, and then when we get something like this we feel more than repaid for the efforts we put forth to give service: "Just a little token of kindness to you all, Knowing in ev'ry life there comes a little squall, Tho'oft we grow discouraged trying to do our bit, There's nothing like carrying on just purely from our grit, So when the rural subscriber rings in on number nine, Remember she is crabby, but thinks you girls are fine."

Can anyone tell me the best newspapers for obituaries and where to find them for deaths in San Lorenzo, Alameda County 1913 and 1914? Thanks Nancy "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity"

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zV.2ADI/1830 Message Board Post: from the book "Alameda, a Geographical History" by Imelda Merlin. Chipman and Aughinbaugh were the founding fathers of Alameda, Ca. William Worthington Chipman, was a native of Vermont. After growing up in Dayton, Ohio, and serving as school principle there, he studied law. In 1850 he came to San Francisco by way of the Panama. He soon set up a reading room and Intelligence office on Clay St. between Kearny and Montgomery Streets where he kept newspapers from the chief towns in the United States and a "Miners' and Strangers' Rregister" facilities for the use of which he charged a fee. It was here that he meet Gideon Aughinbaugh, who was his partner and friend for the next 23 years. Little is known of Aughinbaugh beyond the fact that he moved from Pennsylvania to Missouri before coming to San Francisco in 1849 with is wife and child where he set up a grocery store. When he saw the eargerness with which the people bought fruit at fabulously high prices, he sensed the possibilities of raising fruit for the rapidly expanding population. Thereafterhis dream of a commercial orchard, and Chipmans vision of a to! wn across the bay, became the ruling passion of both mens lives. (Argus, July 7, 8, 1897)

OAKLAND PRESENTS VAUDEVILLE SHOW Oakland has presented a vaudeville show! And that's putting it mildly. Rumor: That after the Oakland traffic department's delightful vaudeville performance on September 30, (1926), the Orpheum management planned on opening another Orpheum theater and on using only telephone talent in the new theater. Later returns have spiked this rumor, but haven't stopped anyone from talking about the wonderful show Oakland presented. Every act was a finished piece of work and a tribute to the Oakland telephone family. Over 1900 of our own people and friends witnessed the show in which one hundred girls actually appeared on the stage and sixty others took a very active part in making the show a success. When the idea for a vaudeville show was first referred to the offices for their approval, the response was as spontaneous as the show itself; each office started at once to develop its act. Such an undertaking was possible through the work of the district committee of the Employees' Plan of Representation, and in their endeavor to raise funds for use in promoting basket-ball activities during the coming season it was found that they all received as much pleasure and enjoyment out of the show itself as they did in planning for basket-ball. The various central offices are to be congratulated upon their splendid selections which they made for their acts. One of the original features of this show was "Little Mary Mischief," the official announcer, as portrayed by Miss Geraldine Bundy of Glencourt, her part, of course, having to be written specially for this particular show. The Fruitvale-Elmhurst-San Leandro-Merritt employees put on an entirely original act, planned and written entirely by the girls themselves with the help of the chief operators and traffic men. Miss Orr and Miss Weiss of Glencourt office worked out their own dance numbers, and, as was expected, made a big hit with the audience. Piedmont and Humboldt employees combined and selected from among their number the five girls that made up the cast for the delightful one-act play, "The Florist Shop." This one-act play was coached by Fletcher Talbot, a friend of one of the Piedmont operators, who is to be congratulated for his splendid assistance in making this act a success. The stage setting for his act was particularly beautiful and the flowers and floral accessories were loaned through the courtesy of one of the florist shops in the vicinity of the Piedmont office. The Alameda act, "School Days," was indeed a credit to an office the size of Alameda in that fourteen of their employees took part. This act was entirely original with the Alameda girls and was directed by Mr. Carlson and Mr. Weatherbe. Following the Alameda act the basket-ball trophies were awarded by C. F. Weatherbe, district traffic superintendent, and this presentation had been so prepared as to fit in with the rest of the performance, "Little Mary Mischief" making the announcement and taking part in the presentation. Mr. Weatherbe was introduced by Mrs. Georgia Goede, secretary of the employees' district committee, who outlined the part taken by the Employees' Plan of Representation in the basket-ball activities and announced the trophies that were awarded. The Fruitvale office team, which won the interoffice championship last season, was presented with a silver basket-ball trophy, the presentation being made to Miss Hazel Rarick as captain of the Fruitvale team. This trophy, which consists of an eight-inch silver basket-ball mounted flat to be framed in a regular picture frame, will be played for each year until some one office wins it three times. The winning office each season will have its name engraved on a silver bar which will be suspended from beneath the silver basket-ball. A silver plate will also be placed in the frame showing that the trophy was presented by the employees' district committee. The girls who were selected to play on the big team that represented the telephone company in the Industrial League and won the championship from the San Francisco team were each presented with a small gold basket-ball pin in the shape of a gold bar from which a basket-ball was suspended. On the front of the gold bar appeared the date "1926," while on the reverse side appeared the notation "From E.P.O.R." The gold basket-ball had a black enamel "O" superimposed upon it and on the reverse side of the basket-ball appeared the player's initials. Following the intermission the long-distance and information girls presented "The Music Box Revue," as directed by Miss Bernice Jahnigen, a pupil of Theodore Kosloff, the Russian dancer. While the scenery was being changed between numbers, Miss Martha Hollis of Lakeside office held the audience absolutely silent with her skill in playing the piano. Following Miss Hollis's number Lakeside office presented a one-act comedy, "Uncertain Silas," put on by three of the Lakeside office employees and Mr. Chamberlain. This act, which was directed by Mr. Weatherbe, was particularly noteworthy in view of the fact that none of the members of the cast had ever taken part before in any amateur theatricals. The central office committee selected the girls for the parts in order to have the type of each part properly portrayed and the success of this plan is evident by the way in which this act went across with the audience. Two sisters from Oakland office, Miss Cummings and Miss McKerricher, next put on a violin and piano selection. The final number on the program, a brief excerpt from the Duncan sisters' success, "Topsy and Eva," made a very colorful closing number for the program. This act, which had been worked up by the Ashberry-Berkeley-Thornwall girls, was directed by Mr. Bartlett, who, of course, also supervised in a general way all of the other acts and attended at least one rehearsal of all musical numbers. Miss Tudor as "Topsy" made a particularly big hit with the audience, and it was with difficulty that the act proceeded due to the amount of applause which she received for the solo which she sang. Miss Jackson as "Eva" showed the results of some experience upon the stage before she came to work with the telephone company. Another outstanding feature of the program was the playing of Miss Patricia Duffy, the fourteen-year-old sister of one of our employees. Miss Duffy played for a number of the rehearsals and took her regular place in the orchestra pit on the night of the show. From the flood of congratulatory telephone calls and letters received we are sure that Oakland's reputation of "doing it right" has been upheld.

NEW OAKLAND PLANT CLUBROOM DEDICATED A very delightful evening of entertainment was given at 3010 Adeline Street, Oakland, under the auspices of the combined Oakland plant associations' house committee, on the evening of October 8, (1926), celebrating the completion of a beautiful new clubroom. Victor Burns of the Oakland district association of cable splicers acted as chairman of the evening, introducing A. O. Lewis, chairman of the house committee, a member of the line and station installers' association of the Oakland district, who, in a very pleasing address, voiced, on behalf of the Oakland associations, their hearty appreciation for the company's assistance in making it possible for the Oakland associations to realize their plans for the clubroom. he also expressed the appreciation of the house committee for the splendid cooperation had from all the association members. Chairman Lewis's talk was followed by music by George Stahl's "Merry Makers." Later H. O. Hammerich, division chief clerk, representing Division Superintendent of Plant H. McBirney, responded in a very appropriate manner, and, at the request of the chairman, introduced the various division and district supervisors present. He concluded his talk by presenting D. J. Lundy, superintendent of maintenance, Oakland, with a twenty-year service emblem. R.G. Morgan of the building maintenance forces, a member of George Stahl's "Merry Makers," dressed in Oriental style, presented a comic monologue in which he represented "Hop Sing," just over from China. He brought shouts of laughter from those present. He is an expert at playing a one-string Chinese fiddle. This number was followed by a comic interpretation of a German gentleman by D. Brock of the equipment installer's association. F.O. Edmunds, superintendent of construction, was introduced and presented service emblems to the following members of his force: R. Glubetich, foreman, 25 years; E. Daughtrey, inspector, 20 years; Jack Lundin, foreman, 15 years. H. O. Hammerich, division chief clerk, was invited to make the first shot on the new pool-table, after which refreshments were served and a very enjoyable evening closed.

I want to be clear as to the names of those your are looking for. If your grandmother is looking for siblings that she did not know of the existence until recently. I would think that both the mother and father are not the same people as your grandmother's mother and father. Correct? Are you looking for Anna Voldby and Rigmor Volby and they were both born in Alameda County. Do you know which city in Alameda County? I am assuming Rigmor is a woman? Anna was born in 1924 and Rigmor was born 1926? Since is Voldby is such an unusual name, did other Voldby change the spelling of their name and what was it. Just a few questions for clarification. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 1:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [CAAlameda] Searching for my danish family, Surname VOLDBY This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Hi Nancy, I did not think of looking at the other census. Thanks for the reminder to look futher. Thanks Donna -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Edwards [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 4:52 PM To: Elliott, Donna Subject: Re: [CAAlameda] 1920 census look up please Hey Donna - It looks like 1870 to me with Na date "unknown", but then on the 1910 Census the immi. date is 1868 and on the 1930 Census, the immi. date is recorded as 1867. Is that what you have found? Oh dear - sounds like some of my research. Best thing, if possible, is to get a copy of his naturalization paper which should have the date of immi. I found my ggrandfa's paper in the County courthouse. Have you found him on the 1870 Census here in the States?
