Source: THE MANSFIELD HERALD (Mansfield, Richland Co., Ohio): 12 December 1889, Vol. 40, No. 4 SAN FRANCISCO - December 11th. -- The steamship Oceanic has arrived at Yokohoma, Dec. 8, sixteen days from San Francisco. Among her passengers is Miss BISLAND, making the trip around the world as the representative of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. Her passage across the pacific was remarkably good for this season of the year, and good judges think she will beat Nellie BLY, traveling around the world in the opposite direction in the interest of the New York World. SAN FRANCISCO -- December 11th. -- Robert KENNEDY, owner of a ranch near Stockton, was fatally shot by Mrs. Elma POLSKY and her fifteen-year-old son, who leased the place from him. There was a dispute about the rent, and Mrs. POLSKY shot KENNEDY in the groin and fired the other barrel without effect. She then handed the weapon to the boy, telling him to reload it and finish Kennedy. The boy reloaded the revolver and shot Kennedy in the ear. The wounded man cannot recover.

Greetings all, I just received a story from one of my relatives concerning my grandmother in San Francisco who talked her way out of a burglary. Now the part which was interesting, this burglar was called something like the "Green Gloved" Burglar. He would break into the homes in San Francisco but not hurt anyone. My grandmother saw him in the reflection of a mirror while she was alone in the house. So she started talking as if someone was in the house with her and it scared the man away. Does anyone recall anything like this? A colorful burglar. The letter I received said this was something that really scared San Franciscans for a period of time. He had entered several homes and people started locking their doors. I wanted to include this in the family history and make sure it isnt just one of those wild stories passed down. Thanks Lavonne

Carol Is there a way that you could scan the photo, and post it to a web site so that we could see it, and maybe figure out where and when it was taken.

Hi Listers , My ggg uncle was an Architect in California between 1852-1869 . Among his works in SF are St Francis of Assisi on Vallejo Street , Old St Marys Cathedral on California Street , a Baptist Church in 1855 , 2 Fire Engine Houses in 1855 , St Marys College in 1863 (demolished) , a Synagogue in 1854 , and many other unknown buildings in SF and other places in California . (Stockton , Grass valley , Sacremento etc) If I contacted the SF public library , would they be able to find accounts of the opening ceremonies of these places in the old newspapers ? He also mentions in one of his letters dated July 1855 that his name was in the newspaper recently and that he was enjoying some success at that time . I would like to be able to locate this article . Would the SF library assist me ? Or is there another way of doing it ? Regards Carol in Wales UK

What was his name?

Hi Janet , Many thanks for the offer of help , but that is my problem ...There is no photographers name on the reverse . The only distinguishing mark on the reverse is a picture of a lady standing next to a pillar , with a ship and a building with a flag flying on top in the background . Only one of my relatives as far as i know , went to America , so if i could just prove the photo is American then I know this is my man . So I was hoping that someone somewhere , would have a photograph with a similar backing on it , taken in SF between 1852-1869 . I was surprised to have no replies to my original query . I think my ancestors offices were at Clay Street , so he may have had the photo taken at a photographers near there . I think I will just have to keep scouring the web . Thanks for the offer Best Wishes Carol

In case you missed it, here is a revised url for the OLD FAMILY PHOTO, and it will be in english,not german as the shorter url was..... http://www.kari.no/photo/e_default.asp Good luck Judie

Besides the Index to the Call that is online, I don't know about San Francisco Newspaper Indexes. Can someone please tell me what is available? I live in NYC so I can't go the the Library in San Francisco. Sincerely Richard Malatzky

Well..........no name only because I don't know, my relative didn't get caught. The particulars are. there were four of them.....men dressed in business suits... supposively one died, one escaped (mine relative) and two were caught. A police officer died......I think it was a bank of America...... believe it was the 1950s early.. because by 1960 he was settled.... I don't know if this is a big hoax or true...... He is dead now so I can't ask ... and so are the relatives....that believed him.. We also had a bank of America bank bag......and actually the names in the paper I would not recognize, except maybe how it all went down....as above. S
