SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD – CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1926 MISS OLGA TAYLOR MARRIED On Sunday, October 24th, at San Jose, a few friends witnessed the marriage of Miss Olga Taylor, of Eagleville and Egbert T. Post, of San Jose, at a pretty ceremony, the wedding took place in the front room of their future home, which was beautifully decorated with ferns. The bride’s exquisite gown of pale orange trimmed with silver, was particularly becoming and very striking against the back ground of green. She carried a bridal bouquet of rose buds. After the ceremony, the guests were entertained with musical duets, both vocal and instrumental, by the bride and groom. The music was interrupted by the announcement of luncheon – beautifully served in the sun parlor, decorated with ferns and flowers. Mr. Post is very well known and liked and has a high standing, particularly among the musical circles of San Jose, so the bride will soon have many congenial friends. Mrs. Post will by missed by her many friends in Surprise Valley; but they all join in wishing her happiness. Born – At Lake City, Cal., Oct 21, 1926, to Mr. and Mrs. John C. Largent, a daughter Miss Doris Robinson, formerly a prominent teacher of Modoc, was elected President of the San Jose School Women’s Club at a recent meeting. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1926 Ralph Taylor, architect of Susanville, and his brother, Fred H. Taylor, Horticultural Commissioner of Lassen County, were here last Saturday and dropped into the Record office for a brief visit. Both young men were born in Cedarville and spent their childhood here and their many old time friends are pleased to know that they have made good in the battle of life and are highly esteemed in the community in which they live. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Johnson, of Westwood, was here several days last week, visiting relatives and old time friends, who were pleased to see them. Harry Cannon arrived here from Colusa last week, accompanied by Alva Adams. After his arrival here, Mr. Cannon received the sad news that his residence in Colusa had been destroyed by fire. Mrs. Charles Chambers is reported critically ill this week and but little hopes is had for her recovery. Her daughters, Mrs. Bird Summers, of Fresno and Mrs. Nora LaPoint, of Plumas County arrived here last week and will remain indefinitely. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1926 HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Francis Page is now going to High School, thus adding another member to the Junior Class and bringing the present enrollment up to fifty-three for this High School. At a Student Body meeting held this week, it was voted to send Harold Hutchinson and Ferne Sweet to Alturas to represent the High School in deciding about their track meet to be held in the spring. SALT MADE IN SURPRISE One of the little known enterprises of Surprise Valley is the Salt Works about eight miles east of Cedarville, owned and conducted by J. H. Hutchinson. This plant had been worked in a small way for several years and this year, he put up sixty tons of first class stock salt. Here is the foundation for a business that can be greatly enlarged and the output would supply the demand of the stockmen of the County. For years, salt has been shipped into the valley, but the necessity for that has now passed. Mr. Hutchinson is now prepared to furnish in any quantity at prices that will compete with the outside product and he is certainly deserving of a generous support. BRIEF MENTION With thirty-four people doctoring for the rabies: one woman killed by car upsetting, one man and woman jailed and one man lying in the hospital seriously hurt and Constable stabbed, all the result of a bandit and bootlegging rumpus at Susanville last week it would look as though something else was being done out there besides making lumber. Felix Allen for many years a resident of this valley, but now a prosperous merchant of Alturas, was over from the county seat last week and made us a pleasant social visit. Felix always has a fund of information and anecdotes on tap, which makes him an interesting and pleasant conversationalist and he is one among the very few who is familiar with the early history of Modoc. James G. Dyke went up to Lakeview Monday after his household furniture and will remain in Surprise during the winter. Mrs. Borg, a sister of the late Mrs. Pearl Connell, who was so brutally murdered last July, was here last Wednesday to gather up here sister’s belongings and returned to Alturas the same day. Thirty-four people in Susanville were bitten by dogs afflicted with rabies last week and are now taking the Pasteur treatment for the disease. Beware of all dogs. Chet Bordwell, of this place and Mrs. Rosie Shafer, of Virginia City, were married at Alturas last Thursday by Judge William Thompson. The record extends best wishes to the newlyweds. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1926 Henry Pengelly, for many years a resident of Alturas, died suddenly last Thursday night. He was a man of genial disposition and had many friends who were shocked to hear of his sudden death. His funeral was held at Alturas last Sunday, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, Eagles and Knights of Pythias Lodges, of which he was a prominent member.(1:1) SERVED ‘EM RIGHT Nine boys of Chico were sentenced to "undo" the damage they did on Halloween. Overturned shacks and outbuildings are being replaced, tires repaired and pumped up and other mischief repaired. – Plaindealer. It would be a good thing if that method of punishment would be adopted in every community. Halloween pranks were never intended to include the destruction of property or to damage it. But of late years all propriety has been discarded and those of questionable caliber have felt free to violate all moral or organic law: or common decency and have not hesitated to mutilate, damage and destroy property. Such vandalism should be stopped. Maggie Jones was operated on Monday morning for appendicitis and will therefore be absent from school for sometime. The latest definition of "pedestrian" is a man whose wife is using the car. Miss Dorothy Rinehart and Miss Maggie Cook were at Reno last week, returning Saturday. Dr. Kennedy, assisted by Mrs. Thomas D. Jones, performed a surgical operation for appendicitis on Miss Maggie Jones, last Monday and at this writing, the patient is reported doing well. ~~~~~~ Billie C. & Anita 'Jean' Reynolds Modoc County, California "The Last Frontier" www.rh2o.com/modoc --- Our outgoing mail is checked by Norton AntiVirus.
