Beulah Nye Laver Beulah Nye Laver passed away quietly at Modoc Medical Center in Alturas on August 12, 2005, shortly after suffering a stroke. She is lovingly remembered by family and friends for her strength, independence, and willingness to give generously of her time and talents. She was born June 28, 1921 in Oakdale, California. Her family y moved to Secret Valley in Lassen County in 1924. Beulah attended schools in Secret Valley and Susanville, graduating from Lassen High School in 1938 and then Lassen Community College. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition at the University of California, Berkeley in 1943. Following graduation Beulah completed further training at Loma Linda Medical Center and joined the U. S. Army where she was made second lieutenant. She served in Army hospitals in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco from 1945-47. She was assigned to the wards with seriously wounded men as well as American prisoners of war. Beulah received an Honorable Discharge in 1947. Years later she remembered her part in the war effort as rewarding and full of good friends. In December 1947 Beulah married Robert Scott in Susanville. They had two sons, Gene and Leslie Scott. When the marriage ended she returned to work in San Francisco for a short time. Late in 1952 she and her sons moved to Susanville so she could earn her elementary teaching credential from Chico State University. Beulah taught school in Janesville initially, and then moved her family to Alturas in 1955 where she began her new teaching post at the Davis Creek School. Beulah began dating Lloyd Laver, Jr. after moving to Alturas. On August 11, 1957 they married in Susanville. Once they returned from the honeymoon trip, their square dance group threw a shivaree and ran the happy couple down Main Street, Alturas in wheelbarrows decorated with ribbons. Beulah and Lloyd had three children, Carol, David and George in addition to Beulah's two boys. While Lloyd worked for the Weber Ranches, she continued to teach at Davis Creek and other small schools in Modoc County, including New Pine Creek, Eagleville, and the Delmorma school near Cal Pines ("The Little Red Schoolhouse"). In the late 1960's the school district consolidated and began busing more children to Alturas for elementary school. Many of the smaller schools were closed at that time. Beulah then worked as a substitute teacher, often long-term, in Alturas, New Pine Creek, Canby and Likely until she retired in the 1980's. In June of 1984 Lloyd passed away and Beulah began a very active career volunteering for several organizations in Alturas. Beulah was a very active member of the Federated Church, operating the Thrift Shop most every Saturday morning (Wednesdays in the last year) and sorting clothes on Thursdays. She volunteered her time at the Senior Center to assist seniors and lower income people with their State and Federal income tax returns, and Renters Assistance. She also became a counselor for HICAP (Health Insurance, Counseling and Advocacy Program). Beulah was an active volunteer for the children's programs, Latch-Key, TEACH and Serendipity, including serving on the Board of Directors. She was passionate about higher education and assisting women to be self-sufficient following the death of a spouse or divorce. To this end she helped establish several scholarships through AAUW, the Rebekah Lodge, and the Federated Church. She taught many women, usually widowed, how to drive so they could maintain their independence. She also taught English, as a second language, to Hispanic women in the community. Beulah was a member of the Soroptomists, a life member of American Association of University Women and the Rebekah Lodge. She was also active in Boy Scouts, serving as Den Mother when her boys were going through Cub Scouts. She is survived by her children, Gene Scott and wife Ruth of Long Beach, CA; Leslie Scott of Greenville, MS; Carol Laver and husband Doug Schmidt of Phoenix, AZ; David Laver and wife Donna of Wrightwood, CA; and George Laver and wife Sandy of Chico, CA. Her grandchildren include, Kelly, Angela, Gabe, Carrie, Derek, Kurt and Isaac and great grandchildren Gabriel and Elani Louise. Other family includes sisters Ida Fox of Corning, CA; Faye Laver of Standish, CA; and brother Wallace Nye also of Corning, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held Saturday, September 10, 2005 at 10:30 AM at the Federated Community Church. Rev. Ben Zandstra will officiate the services. (As per her wishes, Beulah's remains were cremated following her death.) A reception luncheon will follow in the church Social Hall for all who wish to attend. The family would love to speak with Beulah's friends and hear their memories and favorite stories. In keeping with Beulah's desire to make higher education available to everyone, the family requests donations be made to the Federated Church Scholarship Fund, c/o Federated Community Church, P.O. Box 1708, Alturas, CA 96101 or to the charity of your choice. " A mother is not a person to lean upon, but a person to make leaning unnecessary." Dorothy Canfield Fisher.

I am transcribing my grandmothers, Mattie Metkzer Cooks five year diary, 1946-1950. Grandma wrote just the facts. I want to add notes to it and need help on knowing "whos who" for some of the people. The family and friends have been a great help with this, but we have hit a block. Of course the first place we are turning to is our helpful people on our county lists. Grandma and Granddad lived at the mouth of Pine Creek canyon, had many visitors, especially for "dinner" and "supper" as Grandma set a feast at every meal. Your help will be appreciated so much.

August 31, 2005 Looking Back is a regular feature of the Modoc County Record, a weekly newspaper, published in Alturas, CA. The following is transcribed from the August 25, 2005 issue. Looking Back 97 Years Ago –Year (sic) A PROSPECTOR passed through town Sunday and attracted considerable attention. His outfit was packed on the backs of two burros, and reminded us of old times. It is just such men that have developed the mineral wealth of the great west. He has been looking over the Hoag District the writers: (sic) “Your people do not appreciate the value of your home district. The surface indications are the best, I ever saw, and sooner or later some great mines will be developed,” he said. “The trouble,” he said “was that the whole country was taken up by men who are not miners – men who could not develop their properties nor permit others to do so.” 47Years Ago – 1958 DICK DAFT represented the Alturas Lions Club this week when they formally presented a check for $1,041.01 to the Alturas Swimming Pool Fund. The check w2as the proceeds from the recent Lions Club barbecue…. Sixteen year old Sandra Lederer reigns as the Modoc county Fair Queen…. Fair Manager Hippy Burmister has $30,000 worth of premiums lined up and three days of fun for the Modoc County fair in Cedarville…. The Alturas Rotary Club donated $1,000 to the Alturas Swimming Pool fund this week. Darrell Rachford is president…. The first transported load of Rambler automobiles arrived in Alturas this week following announcement by American Motors, that J.F.G. Pontiac Sales had been appointed distributor for Modoc County. This paper was received this day so you get two for one this week. Hope to see you all again next week. Ron Morgan

August 31, 2005 Looking Back is a regular feature of the Modoc County Record, a weekly newspaper, published in Alturas, CA. The following is transcribed from the August 18, 2005 issue. Looking Back 96 Years Ago – 1909 WILLIAM POWERS returned this week from a trip to Bidwell. He was told there of a rich strike made by a prospector near Cave lake. The prospector is a new man, who after looking the district carefully over, began a systematic search. In the neighborhood of Cave Lake he found a rich ledge of ore, besides the dirt was rich in free gold. 86 Years Ago – 1919 DEPUTY SUPERVISOR Brown informs us that arrangements are underway for the establishment of an aero plane patrol for the purpose of locating forest fires on the Modoc National Forest. The route planned is from Redding to Alturas which place will be the north terminal of the route and the patrolling will be in charge of the Air Service of the United States Army. 76 Years Ago – 1929 F.W. CALDWELL was making final arrangements today for his plan to establish a deer hunting camp in Howard’s Gulch to be open during the open season, beginning September 16. The camp will be known as the Modoc Deer Camp, and the manager will provide horses, guides and other necessities. 66 Years Ago – 1939 DID YOU know that last year in Modoc County, 400 people were skin-tested for tuberculosis through the efforts of the Modoc County Tuberculosis Association? Even one active case, discovered through this testing, and kept from spreading the disease in the schools and the homes of the county, is worth thousands of dollars in health and happiness to our people. The Deputy Supervisor Brown, noted in the 1919 article, was “Billie” Brown and he was the father of our own Vernon Brown. Billie was not very large in stature but he more than made up for that by his intelligence and his dynamic personality and work ethic. He was one of my Dad’s favorite companions when it came to hunting or fishing. He brought the Modoc County Forest Service into the new era. I was just one of the 400 tested for TB in 1939. They tested just about the entire student body at the Alturas Grammar School and Modoc Union High School. If you had TB, it meant staying in a sanatorium for the most of one year, and longer in some situations. Today, antibiotics rid the body of this perilous disease. However, it was quite common and destructive prior the late 1940’s. See you all again next week. Ron Morgan

Lassen Advocate, Susanville, California - 7 March 1930 Amedee Rifle Victim Named J. Eastburn It was learned early today that the man who was shot to death at Amedee recently and who was thought to have been named Wilkinson has been practically identified as James Eastburn, a ranch hand in and around Lassen County for the past few years. The Lassen County sheriffs office is in receipt of a letter from H.D. West of Pyramid, Nevada in which it is stated that the man worked for him for a short time previous to his slaying at Amedee. The letter also states the victim has a daughter living in Oakland who was well known at Alturas. It is thought that Eastburn has a number of friends and relatives in and around Susanville. Anyone who knew the man is requested to get in touch with Sheriff J. B. Leavitt.

This story sure is interesting. Wallace Stuart/Stewart PAINTER lived in Alturas in the 1900 Census and Lake City in the 1910 Census. He was married to his second wife, Emeline WILLIS DEWITT PAINTER in 1901. Two of his sons never married; one was married after 1919. I have not run across any other PAINTER/PAINTERS in Modoc County at this time. Could be the above; I would like to see the follow-up story on this one!

Larry Charles Lybarger Larry Charles Lybarger was born in Alturas, Ca on October 10, 1940. He lived the first 30 years of his life in Alturas. He attended Modoc High School and played football, despite having been told by doctors he would never play sports due to contracting polio at age 12. This determination and "can-do" attitude continued to be Larry's mode of operation. He worked various jobs, including cat skinning, driving log trucks, surveying and was a glass shop owner. His passion for music became apparent while he was in high school and he was an enthusiastic drummer in a band that entertained many Modoc residents. During the 1960s, he played professionally with the Benny Cliff Five at various clubs in Nevada, Northern California, Oregon and Idaho. In 1971, he was hired by Southern Pacific Railroad as a 90-day temporary laborer, but when his 90 days were up, the foreman was so impressed with Larry's "can-do" attitude that he hid him out and somehow kept him on the timerolls. Larry soon realized that laborers had to work very hard, so he finagled a way to become qualified on cranes and several other machines, which allowed him to sit down a little more. He then was promoted regularly, becoming a track gang foreman and steel gang foreman working in various northern California locations. In 1974, Larry was promoted to management, finally receiving a disability retirement as a roadmaster in 1999. The territories he covered during his roadmaster career included Oregon (Eugene, Coos Bay, Oakridge, Portland); San Jose, CA; and Seattle, WA. Larry had many passions. He loved the outdoors and spent many hours in the Devil's Garden looking for arrowheads and other Indian artifacts. He taught himself to make jewelry and was famous for the barbecues he built at each of his homes. He loved turning backyards into beautiful havens and even was a member of the rose society of Eugene, OR. He was an avid Ducks football fan, faithfully following the team even during their worst years. After his retirement, Larry felt the urge to try oil painting, and again, his artistic and creative ability flowed. He spent the last few years of his life creating whimsical metal garden art and sitting behind an easel, creating oil paintings. (And, inadvertently leaving splashes of paint on everything surrounding him in the process). He was a member of the Mountain Valley Art Club, serving two terms as president. The Art Center in Alturas featured his art at one time. Larry began attending Calvary Community Church in Summer, WA in July 1999, and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour several months later, so the family is joyfully celebrating that Larry joined his Lord and Savior, on August 21, 2005, after battling emphysema, congestive heart failure and diabetes. Larry was predeceased by his mother and father, James and Margaret Lybarger, and his younger borther Randy. Larry is survived by his wife of 17 years, Diana, his ex-wife of 19 years, Gertrude, son Terry and Daniel, stepsons Gene Hamilton, Rick Hamilton, stepdaughter Kim Henderson, eight grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and cousins Kip Lybarger, Joann Smith, Penny Keeney and Ed Austin. Larry will be remembered for his real zest for life, his loving and giving heart, and his infectious smile and laugther. Services will be held at Calvary Community Church, 5116 Gary Street, Sumner, Washington on Saturday, August 27. Service time pending at presstime. Robert E. 'Bud' Smith Robert E.

"Growth of Lake County, Oregon" by Georgie Ellen Boystun Stephenson Reed Information found in this book: P. 23, Alexander Reed and T.B. Reed also came in 1869 (and settled in New Pine Creek). It is interesting to note that is about the same time that the Hammersley and Vincent families were arriving to the area. T.B. Reed was the first person to file claim to water rights in the present Lake County. At that time, this area was in Jackson County, and so the following notice may be found in the records of Jackson County, Oregon. Goose Lake Valley Jackson County, Oregon November 17, 1869 Notice is hereby given by I, T.B. Reed, do this day claim all water flowing down this canyon, from this point up, or from, the head of my ditch made for the purpose of conveying the water flowing down this canyon, or that may hereafter flow down said canyon, to have and to hold the use of said water for milling, mining and irrigating purposes. Said canyon is situated on the east side of Goose Lake Valley about four miles north of the line, dividing the states of Oregon and California. Signed T.B. Reed, Filed for record at 4 O'Clock July 23, 1870 and recorded the same day. Silas J. Day, County Clerk, Jackson County, Oregon Tilford Reed, mentioned above as T. Reed, established what is believed to be the first orchard planted in Goose Lake Valley, when in 1870, he planted a three acre apple orchard, using mostly seedlings. This orchard flourished for many years. It was part of the 130 acre homestead that became a landmark because of the picturesque setting of the old Reed farm house which stood in the corner of an L-shaped line of huge poplar trees near the lake. The homestead changed hands, and Ernest Robnette purchased this land from the Heryford and Green estate about 1946 (Lake Co. Examiner-Faris) The orchard ran its course as a productive orchard and became a haven for deer and wild game, which shared the land with the Robnette cattle. The presence of game attracted hunters, making the pasture unsafe for cattle. Darvin Robnette, son of Ernest, eventually took over the operation of the farm, and in 1961, he uprooted the old orchard, cut it into firewood and cleared the land of willows and brush in order to plant the area to grain.
