CINTROLL, aged 21 > years, both of Alturas. Buff Chase, a real dandy dresser, operated a dry goods store in Adin for many years. About 1940, he, and one of his sons, set up a mens store on the nw cornier of Modoc and main Streets in Alturas. They did a pretty good business until the war started and then they went back to Adin. One of Buffs granadchildren still resides in Alturas, ___Chace, a retired dentist son of Jack Chase, also a dentist. His mother was Luella McCully, long time Surprise Valley residents. John "Uncle Johnie" Rachford was a brother of Ella Sloss. Uncle Johnie was a saddelmaker and a harnes maker. I purchased my first saddle from Uncle Johnie, and he furnished all of my horse equipment for many years. He was a very nice and a gracious man. Ron Morgan
