Monday, August 28, 2006 Looking Back is a regular feature of the Modoc Record, a weekly newspaper, published in Alturas, California. The following is transcribed from the August 3, 2006 issue. Looking Back 97 Years Ago –1909 THE ATTENTION of the town trustees is called to the next necessity of constructing a wallk to the new high school building. That must be done; otherwise pupils will have a muddy road, as well a bard one, to travel this winter…. A report is current that the Valley Land Company will lay down rails from here to Goose lake and run auto cars over them….The Oregon Valley Land Company has taken over the contract from Cross and Barker for carrying the mail from Alturas to Lakeview. Mail and passengers will be taken to the lower end of Goose Lake by auto route and from there by boat. 95 Years Ago – 1911 WE HEAR some talk about a good road movement building construction and more. Everybody would like to see good roads. They are sadly needed in Modoc, as elsewhere. But there are other things to be desired such as low taxes. A sum of money necessary to build good roads in this county, sparsely settled as it is, would bankrupt every taxpayer in the county. In the course of time, when the wasted places are filled, when our big ranches are cut up, when property valuations and increase in population come to us, then we can talk about more bonds. A low tax rate will go far to secure these blessings. But don’t drive capital and population away with excessive tax rates. Go slow….Many tourists have passed through town this week in auto machines. In fact, it almost seems to us that more 85 Years Ago RECENT CATTLE sales are reported at bringing five and a half cents fro steers, f.o.b. ranch. First shipments of cattle in Modoc have been started with at least two ranchers reporting that they got seven cents for their steers….

McGue Once upon a time a certain mother was the life of a Sunday School in a little town in Virginia. The superintendent, after her death, that it would be fitting to hold a memorial service in the church in honor of this loyal mother. He wrote to his daughter, Miss Anna Jarvis, at Philadelphia, asking her to arrange such a service. While doing this work, there was born in her mind the idea of originating an annual service honoring motherhood. This first service was held in 1908. Six years later, the second Sunday in May was set apart officially as Mother's Day by act of Congress and proclamation of the United States. And now this day is observed in almost every community of the Nation. The meaning of Mother's Day is not that mothers are perfect. Some mothers are weak and irresponsible. Others are cold and indifferent. There are even jazz mothers. There are also great mothers. Great mothers find in motherhood an art. These take the plastic clay of trusting childhood with deft, loving understanding fingers, mold it into living objects of grandeur. Hannah of Ramah, Mary of Nazareth, Monica, mother of St. Augustine, and Susanna, with her little troop of Wesleys, were some of the greatest creative artists. They produced masterpieces out of human clay. They were women of courage. Did not Mary "stand by the cross of Jesus?" By their loyalty and self-giving have the greatest battles of the race been fought. It is in the struggles of the heart that destiny is determined. And is it not in the pure love of mothers that we see most clearly the true nature of the love of God? No matter how many years it has been since mother left, no matter what changes have come, no matter what else has been forgotten, clearly impressed in indelible lines on our brain is the face of mother. As long as the brain functions the fadeless beauty of that face will be forever there. It will rise before our mental vision as deathless as eternity and as fair as heaven, in the early hours of the morning, in the noonday's heat and in the silent watches of the night. If there were nothing else to make us believe in the immortality of our souls, nothing else to lead us to strive for a life of purity, nothing else to make us hope for heaven, the recollection of mother would force us to it. No life like hers could end at the death of the body, no love like hers could perish in the grace, no patient endurance, no self-sacrifice, no devotion, no faith like hers could be other than god-like in its existence forever. One of the things we are most thankful for is we have come to a fuller appreciation than can come to youth. Sorrow, suffering, parenthood for ones self opens the eye of the child as nothing else can to the worth of a virtuous and worthy father and mother. Here is a little story that will give a glimpse into the heart of one son: Out of the mists of boyhood a professional man recalled the other day that exclamation of wonder, evoked by the first installation of a new kind of light burner, which converted crude natural gas into a white hood of radiant flame. He pictured again that home in Michigan and how one night, when all the other children were in bed, he crept softly down stairs that he might watch the magic globe brightly shining in the front room. "Underneath that illuminated burner sat my mother," the man said, "and she was intent on an exquisite piece of embroidery. Even now I can see her busy, bringing the threads into a pattern of beauty. But my boyish wonder was for the new light, not for the mother who worked hard all day long, took care of the children, helped father and then when the house was quiet, sat down under a gas burner to make a thing of loveliness for herself." The passing of years had done one thing for that boy grown into a man. It had transferred his wonder from a new type of illumination to the radiant face of his mother. It had shown him that she was more marvelous than any bit of mechanism. An interlocutory decree of divorce was granted Saturday, April 28, 1936, in the Superior Court, in the action, Neva B. Freeman vs. Merle Freeman. FORMER DEPUTY SHERIFF PASSES Frank Van Horn, former Sheriff of Modoc County and a Forest Ranger in the South Warner Mountains passed away at his home in Alturas last Friday.

It is reported that Mrs. Harold Parman will soon be able to leave the hospital. It is her intention to convalesce in Alturas for at least a month before returning to her home in Fort Bidwell. NEWS NOTES FROM NEW PINE CREEK Mrs. Edith Frances Alexander, who died last Sunday, April 26th, was laid to rest in the New Pine Creek Cemetery on Tuesday morning, April 28th. A very fitting sermon was delivered by our local Baptist minister, Elder W. S. Goulding for our deceased lady, who was of a loving disposition, loved by all who knew her. A large number of friends attended the funeral and the casket was loaded with beautiful flowers. Mrs. Edith Frances Ainsworth was born in Bloomington, Illinois, on June 9th, 1864. Her father was Henry Green Ainsworth. She was converted to the Lord when a young woman and joined the Presbyterian Church. In the year of 1896, she was united in marriage to John Maddox Alexander and to this union five children were born; two sons, William and Ray; three daughters, Mrs. Mabel Horr, of New Pine Creek; Mrs. Edna Martin, of LaMonte, MO, and Mrs. Bessie Martin of Alturas. Mr. Alexander went to that part of Oklahoma that was called the Indian territory, when it was first thrown open to settlers and was one of many who were lined up together and at the firing of a shot for the signal, they all made a rush for a claim. In 1894, he moved his family down there and later the territory was added to the state of Oklahoma. In 1905, Mrs. Alexander joined the Baptist Church of Vici, Oklahoma. She came West with her husband and family in 1909 and in 1911 moved to new Pine Creek, where she resided until her death on April 26th, 1936. Mrs. Alexander loved the Lord and looked forward to going home to be with Him, especially after the passing of her husband in 1933. (4:6) D.

THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1936 VALLEY PIONEER PASSES AWAY ON MAY 7TH Surprise Valley lost another of its esteemed pioneers last Thursday, in the death of Mary Ellen Wade, 84. Deceased was born near Muscatine, Iowa, February 22, 1852 and passed away May 7th, 1936, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Street, near Cedarville. In early womanhood she was united in marriage to Robert V. Wade and to this union, three children were born: Ruth, who died in infancy; Mrs. Mary Street, Cedarville and Robert L. Wade of Lakeview. Her husband preceded her in death some years ago. Mrs. Wade, nee Dusenberry, with her husband, settled in Surprise Valley in 1878 and underwent many of the trials and hardships endured by the early settlers of the valley, but with unbounded faith in her Lord, she was wont to say: "Everything will be all right, for He doeth all things well." The funeral was held from the M. E. Church Saturday afternoon, rev. Virgil A. Vinyard, officiating, assisted by the choir. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. "Tired! Ah, yes! So tired dear, I shall soundly sleep tonight, With never a dream and never a fear, To wake with the morning light." (1:1) Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hill, newlyweds, who returned last weekend from their honeymoon, were treated to an old fashioned charivari last Monday evening by the younger generation. After being treated at the Square Deal Ice Cream Parlor, the "gang" went forth and charivaried Mr. and Mrs. Paul golden, who recently returned from San Diego, where they received another treat. FRIENDS TELLS OF LIFE OF LATE GEORGE S. MILLER George Sparrow Miller was born in Kileolley, Ireland, in 1867. He later came to the U. S. A. and married Elizabeth Phair of New York. To this union was born four children who are Dorothy Jackson of Burney, Maybeth Reynolds of Cedarville, George S. Miller Jr., of Westwood and Janis Bishop of Berkeley. Because of poor health, Mr. Miller arrived with his family in Surprise Valley, California, in November 1920. Here he engaged in ranching until about two years ago he and his wife moved to Cedarville, where he entered the mercantile business. He continued with this until last January, he took a severe cold and while he forced himself to be up and running his business, he later had to give up. About three weeks ago he was taken to Berkeley for an operation but it was found that the disease was too far advanced and he died on May 7th and was buried in Berkeley. Mr. Miller leaves his wife, the four children and four grandchildren and friends although eternity only will reveal the number to mourn his loss. He was a member of the Morning Star Lodge, No. 47, F. &. A. M. of Seymour, Connecticut. He was also a member of Bonner Chapter, No. 232, O.E.S. and he had belonged to the Methodist Church the most of his life; and back of it all and underneath it all he belonged to Jesus Christ. So when he ceased to be a member of the Church militant, he was "called in the fellowship of the Church Triumphant, which is without spot before the Throne of God." George S. Miller has left us, but his memory will be cherished and his influence for good will be felt wherever he has lived until this world rolls up like a scroll. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors, and their works do follow with them." (1:3) George Miller, Jr., of Westwood, was a business visitor here last Thursday. Miller came to get his sister, Mrs. John Reynolds, who left with him for Berkeley, where they will attend the funeral of George Miller, Sr., who passed away at that place.

He got a hammer and nails, stuck his head in the rack and nailed the loose board good and secure and when he started to take his head out he found that it would not come out. He has a rather vicious bull so when he looked around and spied the bull taking it all in, he kept his eye on the bull while he had his head fastened in the rack and swinging with the hammer in an endeavor to pry a board loose. It seems that in the course of a big swing he hit himself behind the ear, but the bull only stood by - no doubt too much amused to take advantage of Ebb's defenseless position. Word reached New Pine Creek Saturday evening that Mrs. Ida Lansford, nee Oliver, of Willow Ranch was taken to Alturas for an operation. Up to this writing we have not heard how she is doing. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Wade of Lakeview were here last Saturday attending the funeral of Mr. Wade's mother. THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1936 FIRE RAZES MINTO HOME THURSDAY EVE The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Minto of Eagleville was completely razed by fire last Thursday evening.

Neighbors quickly responded and were able to save considerable of the down stairs furnishings. Exact amount of the loss sustained by Minto has not been learned at this writing. LYLE STIMERS PASSES Funeral services are being held at the M. E. Church this afternoon for Lyle Stimers, who passed away at the general hospital in Alturas Tuesday evening. His illness extended over a period of seventeen years, with an incurable malady. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. R.

Hello to this web site, and all of its readers and especially to the wonderful people that do this site for us to get information. I sure appreciate them all. I am getting ready to write my book, on the surnames in the subject of this email, and of course other connecting names. If any one can add to these names. Willis Warren, and family forward and back. Louise Emily Baxter, wife of George Stewart Warren. they had children: Birdie Georgia Warren, she married David Naylor Windbegler Bryant they had 13 children: 1 was Zelma May Bryant, md. George Bennett Sawtelle, they had 4 children. Merle, Merval, MaryAnn, George McAlister Sawtelle. Merle, Merval born in Eagleville, Modoc Co., CA and the others in Ca elsewhere The father of George Bennett Sawtelle's father was Amaziah Sawtell, and he married 3 times, first wife Mary Black, they had a lot of kids. 2nd wife, Mary Ann Jumper, my lineage from here on down, they had a lot of kids too. from this line came: Frederick Adolphus Sawtelle, and he married: Hattie Elenor Heselton, however she first was married to Harry N. Nolan/Nolen, he was born abt. 1844 in Kentucky, came to California later. They had children: Frank, Nettie and Arthur Nolan Frank married Cecila M Murphy in 1881, married on Nov. 20, 1901, they had: Gertrude M Nolan born April 14, 1903 Charles Nolan born April 27, 1905 Edna V Nolan born 1907 Myrtle Ellen Nolan Dec. 17, 1907. (it could possibly be that Edna and Myrtle could have been twins, I am not sure yet. (It was very difficult finding out the order of names for the wife of Frederick A. Sawtelle. It turns out this way: Hattie Elenor Hesselton. Her mother's name: Hattie Elenor Moore married the Hesselton man, I do not know his first and second name yet. Hattie's mother: Hattie Elenor Moore born Aug. 1, 1830 in Exeter, New Hampshire, died March 24, 1912 in Sierraville, Sierra Co., Ca., she was buried Mar 27, 1912 in Sierraville, Sierra Co., CA, her father was Benjamine Moore and her mom was Elenor Jewell, Hattie after the Heselton man married Edmund Higgins Hamlin, various spellings. See when Fred A. Sawtelle married what I call our Hattie, she was first married to Nolan, and had those kids, they either divorce, or he just left, then she married Fred. Some of the children of Fred and Hattie's always thought that her maiden name was Hamlin, but she was using her step-dad's name, some of the children did know that her maiden name was Heselton. I have birth and death certificates to prove all this. And finding the truth, was very difficult as you know it can be. Children of Mr. Heselton, and Hattie Elenor Moore were: Arthur Heselton Ambrose Mason Heselton, b. 1848 in Maine Died Sept. 26, 1911 in Sac., Sac. Co., Ca, burial Sept 28, 1911 in Loyalton, Ca., did not live long. Lillie M. Heselton born abt. 1856 in Sierraville, Sierra Co., Va., married Oct. 2, 1895 in Sierraville, Sierra co., Ca., married a John A. all I have for him. then Hattie Elenor Heselton, b. Sept. 5, 1857 in Maine, died Jan. 17, 1924 at 357 West 67th St., Los Angeles, Ca., burial Jan. 219, 1924, in Inglewood Park Cemetery, in Los angeles, Ca., married on Jan. 3, 1875 in Sierraville, Ca., to Spouse Harry N. Nolan, the married Dec. 7, 18790 to Frederick Adolphus Sawtelle, in buffalo Meadows, Washoe Co., Nevada. next email if someone requests will continue with the children they had. An important thing is this, I learn from Tim Purdy, that Fred Sawtelle, was aka as coon Sawtelle, (apparently he hunted raccoons for their skins and sold them, well it was in my researching that I also found his father Amaziah Sawtell did the same thing, and some of the fathers way back. Also I have possession of a picture of Amaziah Sawtell, and his second wife, Mary Ann Jumper, which is my line, and then when Mary died, Amaziah married a Mrs. Lucy Walker and she helped to raise what children needed cared for. they had no children. I hope this might help someone, and in return maybe someone can connect to these names and email me direct perhaps _fenske51@aol.com_ (mailto:fenske51@aol.com) Ivy Fenske
