I wanted to thank everyone for their information on the Falk family. I did not know Jonas Falk died at the old state hospital in Ukiah (where I graduated from high school). That info actual led to some other very revealing information. I also wanted to set the record straight as to Elijah being the father of Jonas. Actual Noah, Elijah and Jonas were brothers originally from Mt. Cory, Hancock Co., Ohio. Noah came out to California in 1852 in search of gold and found his fortune in the redwoods instead. Elijah was a machinist who work (possibly built) in a sawmill back in Ohio. Noah convinced Elijah to join him in Eureka. Jonas was the youngest living brother who came to California last with his wife, Louise Wasser and daughter Bessie after his parents passed away in Ohio, around 1883. Jonas was sawyer and foreman at the Elk River mill of which Elijah was controlling stockholder and he was also head sawyer at the Newberg mill for about 5 years. Anyway, thanks for the info.
