You should be able to get the obit from the local library. Also, the Episcopal Church national office probably has an obituary and other information about him such as his education and maybe his parents. Barbara In a message dated 12/9/2006 4:59:21 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Hi, I am looking for information on my great great uncle, Harry Blake Hadlow and his family. Harry was born in Woolpit, Suffolk, England in 1874. He emigrated to Canada in 1897. While in Canada, he married Hannah Pearson (?) and had at least four children - John (1905 - 1987), Sybil (1910 - 1976), Marian (1915 - ?) and Ruth (c1917 - ?). The family emigrated to the US from Victoria, BC, Canada to San Francisco, California in 1918. Harry's US WWI registration card identified him as a Priest in the Episcopal Church, living at 554 Golden Gate Avenue, Richmond, California. In 1920 Harry was a Clergyman of the Episcopal Church living with his family in Richmond, Contra Costa, California. In 1930 he was still a Clergyman of the Episcopal Church but was now living with his family in Auburn, Placer, California. He died on 28th May 1968 in Placer County, California. Harry's wife, Hannah, died on 1st September 1973 also in Placer County, California. John Blake Hadlow died on 25th October 1987 in Siskiyou County, California. Sybil E Hadlow died on 12th November 1976 in Sacremento County, California. I would love to know more about this family, and especially if there are any descendents still in the area. All contact with Harry ceased, apparently, when he left England. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Helen.

I suspect your Empire is the one in Nevada county, CA, the oldest, largest and richest operation in Grass Valley. The site has been turned into a State Historical Park. With this in mind, I checked the directorys in Bean's 1867 History of Nevada county and did not find any Monaghan's/Monihan's/ et al listed. At that time the Superintendent of the Empire was S. W. Lee. Now, we are all awaiting you passing on to us your stories and photos of the mine. ;>) Vern D __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Have a great day, Charlie Keller ////////////////////// Per CALIFORNIA PLACE NAMES, Gudde, 1949: "Towle [Placer]. The name was applied to the Southern Pacific station in the 1880's. It is shown as Towles on the Mining Bureau map of 1892. Allen and George Towle were early lumbermen on the Dutch Flat divide (Co. Hist. 1924, p. 194)." Based on above, suspect the mill was a sawmill. Next best guess would be a mill to crush ore. Textile mill not likely. Listing of laborers as partners was probably "literary license" on part of census taker. Individuals probably lived on-site in quarters provided by mill owner and would be listed as boarders by other pollsters. Vern D __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Barbara, Yes and petered out in the early years, just about when the railroad starting taking land for their tracks.

My husbands Grandfather C F Humphrey, Lawyer in SF, took over a mine as a default on one of his business deals in the high country known as the Empire Mine. I have fascinating stories and photos of the mine from 1890 to about 1910. I am interested in 1880 to 1900, when Ella Monaghan shows up in 1900 census as a widow, of James Monihan, and I have been looking for the little Twp of Rock Creek and the cemeteries there to find graves....hopefully. I am in Stockton, CA about an hour south of Auburn, but have no idea as to the area's around Auburn and am to old and unable to travel much anymore, so rely on my computer a LOT now.

In the 1900 census records "Rock Creek, Placer, California " is shown as location for Ella Monaghan b. 1841 Ireland, widow, with her children. Husband James Monaghan had died between 1890 to 1900..
