FRIENDS 1. In kindergarten, your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one. 2. In first grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls. 3. In second grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully. 4. In third grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus. 5. In fourth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nicky or Smelly Susan. 6. In fifth grade, your idea of a friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you. 7. In sixth grade, your idea of a friend was the person who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed. 8. In seventh grade, your idea of a friend was the person who let you copy the social studies homework from the night before that you had forgotten. 9. In eighth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball cards so that your room would be a "high schooler's" room, but didn't laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears. 10. In ninth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who went to that "cool" party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there. 11. In tenth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch. 12. In eleventh grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom. 13. In twelfth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college, assured you that you would get into that college, helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go... 14. At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you. 15. Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you! Judy please stay with the list. Steve say you are sorry the jab was uncalled for. Carolyn

Dear Judy, I do not want to lose you from our group, and I apologize. Sometimes I just can't help myself. I'll try to behave myself if you'll promise not to leave the group. I do appreciate all that you do for the group, and wish that this had never happened. Will you accept? I also wish that some of us had never received the awful and long letters in the U.S. Mail, but who knows, maybe the writer will come around some day too. Steve

After returning from a trip to see my sister in the San Juan Islands (North of Seattle) I came across a clipping she had in her files which I wanted to share with you good people. Unfortunately the copy of the newspaper clipping does not include the date or source. Sorry. Hope you enjoy this little narrative as much as I did as my mother's maiden name was Stirnaman and was the daughter of William Edmund Stirnaman and Irene May Stewart. Ron Young Volcano - Just over the crest of the hill by: Myrtle James Kit Carson sat relaxed on his horse looking down at the town of Volcano, a warm and friendly appearing village in the natural bowl before him. As he sat at the top of Dump Box Hill, in the late afternoon shadows, Carson knew that sighting the town would give a tremendous lift to the weary emigrants in the wagon train following him just over the crest of the hill. Carson a rather small man, with fair hair, freckled face, and soft blue eyes, might not have been readily recognized for the fearless explorer, trapper, and guide, whose reputation was growing into a legend. On his first crossing of this trail with John Fremont, Kit carved his name on a tree near the summit of the pass, which Fremont promptly named Carson Pass. Back in the train, Stephen Werley rode wearily on the seat of his wagon, while his twenty year-old wife, Louise, cared for their baby. Louise, the only woman in the train, had together with her husband, and baby, Mary Anne, left home in Hannibal, Missouri, and signed on as a cook. Along the trail an Indian found out that the baby had double-jointed thumbs, and became much agitated, claiming the baby came as a special gift from the great spirit. The Indians passed the word along, and many of them visited the train asking for the baby. The young mother became frightened for the safety of her child as these Indians continued to come asking to see the miracle. Louise Werley was the grand-mother of Ed James, (Sydney Edmund James) who married Myrtle King. Myrtle still operates the King Apple Ranch, on Highway 88, near Buckhorn Lodge. The Werleys settled in Volcano, and lived on Consolation Street. Stephen worked in the mines. Stephen died in 1864, and in 1866 Louise married again to Joseph Edmund Stirnaman. The Stirnamans bought a ranch on Black Prince Road, near Tiger Creek. A mine on the property was known as the Scatter Mine. The ranch, on the south slope, toward the Mokelumne River afforded an excellent, warm place to raise fruits and vegetables which ripened early. They marketed tomatoes, beans, potatoes, and squash, and their cherries, apples, and walnuts were much in demand. They also produced milk and other dairy products, and raised hogs. Ed James rode with his grandfather, Joseph Stirnaman, and helped deliver produce to the workers at the Defender Mine, which provided homes for their employees near where the Cedar Mill now piles its logs. Louise Stirnaman died in 1914 at the age of 82. At that time she lived with her daughter, Rose Williams, along Highway 88, in the area now known as Mann Haven. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Steve, I don't know if anyone has answered you yet. The M.E. Church is the Methodist Episcopal Church. The M. E. Church was a favorite of the Cornish miners. I just finished reading two books on Cornish miners in America. Diane Hall

Ron -- Welcome back. The article by Myrtle James was great. I was fortunate to know her. When I was about 12 or 13, occasionally I went to her apple orchard and helped her grade and sort the apples. She was a sweet and lovely lady. Sadly, she passed away in September 1994 at the age of 95..

Apparently I joined the list after some type of personal problem among some members. I have always found the professional genealogists of Amador Co (Leslie McLaughlin, Choice Glover, Judy Mawhorter, Catherine Cissna, Larry Cenotto) to be very cooperative and they have gone out of their way to help me more than once. Judy, I wish you would reconsider dropping from the list, your experience in Amador Co history and genealogy is priceless. By the way, have you considered starting your Genealogical Journal of Amador Co again?

Steve, I just got on this list. I agree this is very interesting and this should prove quite helpful for some one searching for their family. I won't find my ancestors for these dates since they didn't come to California until 1919 and 1930. Steve Illum wrote: > Married at the M.E. Church (Can someone tell me what the M.E.

There is one in Ione although I think it is now a United Methodist Church. Bev

This is very tedious and time-consuming, but also VERY interesting. It gives us a feel for what our ancestors lived like in Amador Co. There is no way that we could possibly snatch every article for you, but I just look for things that are interesting to me (accidents, criminal records, a few of the more colorful ads, etc.) . . . plus vital stats . . . births, deaths, marriages. I wish you actually see all the ads. Like Abbie, maybe I'll get some copied & scan them to you. Jan. 21, 1893 Married . . . T.H. Peek or Peck (sometimes it's not easy to read) to Miss Edna Trowbridge, both of Jackson.

Fined $50 for whipping his brother. Miss Idress Burbank broke her collar bone near Ledford's ranch above Aqueduct. She was riding along the road in a cart. One wheel of the cart ran up onto a log at the side of the road. She thought it would upse the cart so she jumped out. She was taken to John Luttrell's house and cared for. Mrs. Schoonover died in Plymouth. I don't know if any of the others of you out there are interested in this kind of thing. Let me know if I'm going astray. Steve February 4, 1893. Central Hotel, proprietor H. Treglown. Good meals 25 cents. Everything neat & clean. A first-class bar. Connected with the house. Died in Dogtown January 31, 1893 Joe Williams, age 23, 9 months. One of Mr. Westfall's hens laid an egg the other day that measured 4 X 8 inches in circumference and weighed 4-1/2 ounces. Jackson Lodge No. 138, A.O.U.W. on Thursday night elected D.B. Spagnoli as representative to the Grand Lodge of that order which will meet in San Francisco April 4th. The Amador Gold Mine property was sold to J.P. Darling for $7,027.12 I'll just bet that Catherine Cissna is reading all these messages and putting them in her files . . . . which she is welcome to do . . . even if she refuses to join us. Miss Louisa Guerra of Jackson has been suffering for several months from an injury of some kind in one of her legs, and instead of the doctors being able to cure her, we understand that they have decided after due consultation that it will be necessary to amputate the limb in order to save her life, and today has been fixed as the day for performing the operation. Her father, who has been working in Arizona for some time past has been sent for and is expected to arrive this evening. Drowned in a mudhole . . . Thomas Brown on his 42nd birthday. He fell off a wagon, and the horses trampled him. (This is quite a long article.) Joe Williams was found dead in his house at Dogtown last Monday morning.

The Ione Stage had a wheel broken about half a mile below Martell's Station on its down trip last Wednesday morning. Another vehicle was procured as soon as possible, however, and the mail and passengers were taken through to Ione in time for the train. The amputation of Miss Guerra's limb which was reported in the last issue of this paper did not take place last Saturday for the reason that the physician preferred to have the opinion of a third surgeon before arriving at a final conclusion as to what was the best to do under the circumstances which resolved itself into three distinct plans of treatment . . . . Little Julie Ginocchio, 5 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Ginocchio, met with quite a serious accident last Wednesday morning which came nearly proving fatal. It seems that she was sliding down the railing of the stairway --- an amusement that most children appear to enjoy --- when she lost her balance and fell to the floor, resulting in several ugly cuts and bruises about the head and face, but luckily no bones were broken. Dr. Sassella was called in as soon as possible to dress the wounds, and she is now getting along as comfortably as could be expected. Sudden death of an Old Citizen . . . Mr. D.B. Runyan of Drytown.

Mellow, a son. Chinese New Year commenced yesterday, and the Celestial portion of our town is consequently filled with the smoke of the fire-crackers and the smell of opium and roast pig. Signing off until the next chapter, Steve

There are those of us who have been pouring over these (and other) Amador papers for over 20 years and are fortunate to own microfilm copies and, in some cases, the actual papers.

For the most part, being a list member has been a pleasure. Judy in Winnemucca, NV _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I got some exciting news tonight! Notice the above that Jim posted! This VICINI, is Charles VICINI. Charles also was a Circuit Judge, in Amador County, I think, not real clear on that yet. Also does John VICINI ring a bell, he built the National Hotel, and his Grandson now runs it and his name is also John. John VICINI Sr. wifes name was Catherine. It seems that the VICINI's have had reunions, in Jackson, Sutter Creek, and Placerville. John VICINI Sr. is Peter VICINI'S brother. Peter and his wife Catherine lived in San Francisco until the Fire and Earthquake. They retired to Santa Clara, CA. I have all the obit''s for Peter's family, but not for John his brother. When I get some dates, will probably ask for an obit lookup. I still don't know who Francis Ann VICINI is! Will get back to the list soon. Jean Hehn Colorado

Jackie, Abbie, Radine, Pam . . . someone out there . . . please send me a copy of the new entry form for the newspaper article database we're creating. Ugh! I just got my microfilm. Was going through some of it this afternoon. Now I do have nothing but respect for those of you who have been submitting yourselves to this pain. I did find some neat things though . . . which I'll share with you soon. Have to get to a meeting right about now. Steve p.s. Cool ads in the paper! I could stop & stare all day at them. Wonder what it would be like if we all stayed together in Amador Co.?

Yes, Crocker is my interest, and I do have Charles Henry CROCKER b. 15 Sep 1870 in Illinois. Possibly the listing here could be him, although there are more famous Crockers in California, and it could be one of them. I have Charles CROCKER married to Ellen J. KREAMER (b. 1870?; m. 2 May 1903 somewhere); the latter could possibly relate to the Clara Ellen CROCKER listed in the message from [email protected] The Charles CROCKER I seek information on was an attorney with one arm (lost one as boy in Jackson, CA). He was an attorney in Amador County, then possibly in Sacramento, and died in 1937 in the latter. He seems to have divorced Ellen and remarried to a Vesta ROBINSON b. 1886 m. 1905(?). If anyone has access to the book below, I would love to know what it says about these three Crockers on p. 404. Please reply to me, and/or post to [email protected] Any other information on the family also appreciated. Thanks!
