There is an area off of Hwy 49 between Calaveras and Amador Co at the bridge that goes over the Mokelumne River that is called Electra Rd. It is a beautiful spot and wonderful to swim and picnic at. Possibly there was a town called Electra there at one time.

In a recent trip to Carson City I was fortunate to find 2 Amador Co. books in an antiquarian book shop. I am having a great time reading Logan's Alley: Amador County In Picture and Prose, Vol.I by Larry Cenotto. In the front of the book is a letter from Mr Cenotto and a 5.00 coupon toward the second volume. Does anyone out there know if the second volume was ever printed? I also found a copy of Thompson and West's History of Amador County. Julie

Ok you guys help me out here. I keep seeing the name "Electra" Is this a town in Amador County? or a section of Jackson? or a mine? An unusual name. It just so happens that my "Electa" Jane Harding married Wallace Kay. Could there be a connection??

Seriously Judy, don't you think some neat melodramas could be made of all these historic dramas from Amador County, for the visiting tourists? Who has the money for a theater, I guess? Back in the early 1980's my folks showed us the neatest theater, I think, in Sutter Creek. Perfect place for this kind of thing.

(This article is mainly for Bill Baccus, but Win hang on till you get to end where guest list is). November 1, 1901 Amador Dispatch A Pretty Home Wedding One of the prettiest home weddings ever witnessed in Amador county took place at the home of Mrs. E.J. Culbert, at Amador City, last Saturday morning, at eleven o'clock, when Miss Elizabeth J. Culbert and Mr. Charles E. Bunker were made husband and wife by the Rev. William Tuson. The bride is one of Amador county's most charming young ladies, having lived at Amador City all her life, and has a host of friends who wish her great joy and happiness in her new life. Mr. Bunker is a young man connected with the Keystone Mining Company at Amador City, and his popularity is vouched for by the reception tendered him on Tuesday evening by a large number of friends. After the ceremony and congratulations, all were invited into the handsomely decorated dining-room, where an elaborage wedding breakfast was discussed. (That's the word used, does that mean they talked about breakfast but never ate it?). At one o'clock the newly married couple took their departure, amid a shower of rice and good wishes, for Ione to catch the afternoon train for San Francisco and other southern parts of the State. Besides the members of the family of the bride, those present were Mr. & Mrs. Bunker, senior, and Miss F. McMurtie of San Joaquin county, Miss Daisy Fox, W.A. Prichard, John A. Phipps, Mr. Meikeljohn, John A. Phipps jr, Mr. & Mrs. M.B. Church, G.C. Davis of Amador City, W.Dolan of Livermore, Rev. William Tuson, B. R. Breese and Robert C. Bole of Jackson.

Steve...now I can't do what Judy does. I cannot read the last of a book without reading it all the way through. But..seeing as how I've already read the book about Staples & know the ending, I'm still gonna make you wait for Donna. Sorry. Jackie in California [email protected]

Yes, I keep seeing Electra too, and I have been to Sutter Creek, Jackson, Amador City, etc. and my relatives were from there and I have never heard or seen the town of Electra. Donna

Lola Yes, C. P. Vicini and another attorney defended him. I don't know how to get copies of all of the articles. So far there have been 3 in the papers I have read. They are really very long, so I had to condense them. Maybe some of the group would know. I am sure there will be more to this, new evidence etc. Maybe someone in the group knows how to get the articles. Donna

Hello All....that's how I think the computer is...amazing. What opportunities we are being afforded with all the technology in these days. Yes, I know that one needs to get verified source documents & all that but the opportunity for getting clues to lead you to maybe just the right place is mind boggling. I have a friend, that lives close by, that is doing family research & today she received a communication from a lady in Ohio requesting verification if their lines really connected. This lady sent a descending tree with all these names listed. Many, many of the names are known to me. One was Vicini. So I clipped out that portion & sent it on to Jean in CO. who may contact the lady in Ohio. Who knows maybe they'll find their connection & Jean will have more Vicini data. But....isn't that amazing? This lady in Ohio just happens to write a lady in California that just happened to share her story with me who just happens to know about a lady in CO with the same name connection. I think these "just happen" stories are great. Jackie in California [email protected]

Live theater at its best. Yesss!!! I would go over Big! Jean

Gee Steve..without dating myself here, isn't the Staples article what they used to call a "cliff hanger" in the old days when you went to the movies on Saturday? Had to come back the next week to see what happened to the hero. Did he get hanged? Or not? Jackie in California [email protected]

Wow! I've been waiting for this. I'm now just wondering if they will hang him in Jackson?

Donna...I thought weddings taking place from 5 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. were misprints too. In one of my issues of papers there was a statement that, with the new team of horses & wagon that leaving from the Globe Hotel in Jackson at 6 a.m. one could arrive in Stockton by 3 p.m. Many of these newly married couples wanted to go "down below" or on to "the city" for their honeymoons, so by being married early in the morning they could make their carriage departure on time. So your article probably wasn't a misprint. Jackie in California [email protected]

Not only is that amazing but I am on several Lists in Ohio, on my Smith's side, and have had amazing results since last November. Depending on where in Ohio, we probably have run into each other, and didn't even know it! Yes, I did email her, and will let you all know the results! You all have helped me a great deal, especially Steve and his humor! Jean

Steve -- I read the newspapers like I read a book: the first two or three chapters first and then the end to see what happens. Guess that means I know how it ends. But I wont spoil it for ya !

Win, This was posted to Nor-Cal list. Saw the Terrell name and thought I would forward it on to you. Carolyn -----Original Message----- From: Joan Achille <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Monday, July 26, 1999 9:28 AM Subject: Sawn Jose, Santa Clara Co-Terrell Hi List- I am wondering if it would be possible to get an obituary for my Aunt, Clydene M. Terrell who died in San Jose 18 Oct 1961. There was a school named for her, the Terrell School, in the San Jose Unified School District. She was a dental hygenist and school nurse there for many years. I have her death certificate. When I was about 10 years old we went to visit her and her sister-in-law Geraldine Terrell, in San Jose. Thanks to anyone for considering this. Joan [email protected]
