GILBERT, Aged 4 years, 8 months, and 4 days, of putrid sore throat. BURNS JOHN. - This gentleman still lies very low from the effect of his injuries, but we learn that his physician entertains some hope that they will not prove fatal, as at first feared. SAN FRANCISCO ITEMS - Capt. Daniel B. MOSBY of the steamer Bragdon, a native of Kentucky and aged 40 years, died yesterday. Capt. LANDRUM is said to be recovering from the effects of the accident at the crossing of Powell and Francisco street. August HECHT, who was run over by Empire engine lately, died yesterday of his wounds received. - S.F. Eve. Bulletin, 24th DRUG STORE FOR SALE. - We would call attention to the fact that the Drug Store in this place is now offered for sale, a notice of which will be seen by reference to the advertising column of W.C.T. SMITH in this paper. To persons wishing to engage in the Drug Business no better opportunity could present itself, for a profitable investment. The Stock is well selected and of the best quality, and the store at present has an excellent run of custom. Mr. SMITH will dispose of the stock on very advantageous terms to any person wishing to purchase, on account of having a great deal of other business to attend to which prevents him giving it that attention which the business requires. CARPETS & PAPER HANGINGS. - We know of no better place for our readers to supply themselves with these articles than with our patron, F.G. EDWARDS, whose card will be found in another column. We dropped in on him the other day, and found him supplied with a large and well selected stock, and upon examination judged that the goods were "marked low." FOR THE EAST. - The following U.S. Army officers took their departure on the steamer Orizaba, for the East, which sailed on the 21st. Brig. Gen. E.V. SUMNER, Col. C.S. MERCHANT, Capt. JUDD, Capt.

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, October 19, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 29 We are pained to announce that our County Treasurer, Burns JOHN, Esq., on Thursday last, met an accident which is likely to prove fatal, or at least to make him helpless for life. While engaged in stacking up a lot of lumber to season, on a lot where he was about to build a residence, the lot canted over, striking him in the back, and instantly paralyzing his whole body. Upon examination it was found that he had received a severe contusion upon the head, but the most serious difficult is with the spinal column. It is supposed is broken. If so, there is little hope for his life, he now lies perfectly lifeless, so far as any use of his limbs, or any feeling of pain is concerned. His mind is as clear as a bell, and he converses freely with his friends and family. This is one of the most serious accidents which has occurred in our place for many a day, and one which casts a gloom over the whole place. All hope for his recovery, but at the same time feel that it is hoping against fate. Yesterday, Mr. JOHN appointed W.F. STAMBAUGH Deputy Treasurer to attend to the business of his office. LARGE SALE. - On Monday last, J.W. ACKERSON, Esq., of Railroad Wharf, sold in one lump, and all lying in a single pile, three hundred and thirty-nine cords of wood, at $4.50 per cord. Wood is frequently sold at a better price, but so large a pile was never before sold here at once. ACKERSON is doing a thriving business, in the shipping, wharfing, and commission line. AUCTION - By reference to another column it will be seen that the great San Mateo farmer, Henry DUBBERS, will offer his entire stock of farming implements at auction on the 31st. instant. This will be an extensive sale, and one at which many valuable implements may be purchased at low rates. S. OF T. On Wednesday afternoon last, A.D. JONES, the Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance for the State of California being in town, a number of our citizens applied for a charter, almost impromptu, Redwood City Division No. --- was chartered and instituted, the G.W.P. officiating, assisted by District Deputy Andrew TEAGUE, acting as Grand Conductor. The Division was organized in due form. Temporarily adopted rates of initiation fixed at $2.50, and monthly dues at 50 cents. The following officers were elected and installed to wit: C.N. FOX, W.P., Wilson WHITLOCK W.A., J.W. TURNER, R.S., B.G. LATHROP F.S., S.H. BOWMAN T., B.A. RANKIN C., and J.L. SNOW A.C., and C.N. FOX Representative to the Grand Division after which they adjourned until last evening. Dissolution of Partnership The partnership heretofore existing between Messrs STEINHEISER & WEINSHENK in the Dry Goods and Clothing Business, and carried on under the name of STEINHEISER & WEINSHENK, is this day dissolved by mutual consent, Mr. STEINHEISER retiring from the firm.

Surnames: Roselle, Wettstein, Haldeman-Julius Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.california.counties.sanmateo/2682.4.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I will print out the latest info you found and add it to the other information and as soon as I can get back to genealogy will follow up on what I can. Had to put it all aside after my last query last night; other things pending. With a lot of help out of Kansas I have already covered some of the things you suggested and thus have those answers - none of which give me any info on Josephine. I have also been able to obtain some information from the extensive files at the Kansas State Historical Society - they have boxes and boxes and boxes of family informaiton. In fact, the more one searches, the more repositories one finds for a collection of the Haldeman-Julius family and the Adams connection (Hull House in Chicago) to Anna Marcet Haldeman (-Julius)... too numerous to try to track and since many do not have e-mail or want to charge a small fortune just to search - it is a non doable thing for me. One can believe about 1/2 of what one finds anywhere on the web-sites or in newspapers; they only knew what little was fed to them; even the Historical Society in Girard had questions: I knew more about "Joey" than they did; they had to come to certain conclusions about her which were totally incorrect. I had the real data here in b&w because I researched it. All this was begun simply because I was trying to find out where in Switzerland the Wettsteins came from - I still do not know. So anything found on "Joey" I take with a grain of salt and try to follow up as much as I can. Because of this companionate marriage, articles about her abound all over the country. It really made the headlines as did the specualtion about who she was, who were her parents, etc - Emmanuel (mostly) and wife fed the press a line of bull you would not believe. Josephine was never adopted by the Haldeman-Julius couple - the parents (Jacob and Pearl Wettstein) were coal miners in KS as were most in! the area and unable to care for all the children. She was only a ward of them and at some point in time choose to use their surnames as her own. No legal documentation ever done/found to prove otherwise. Henry and Alice always thought of her as their sister; one piece of documentation found in the files in KS state that if either one ever found out Joey was not their real sister, they would be heart broken. Anyway, have to get back to the pressing things at hand - thanks for your help. I want to get back to this asap.

(By the way, one of Marcet's obits states that it was she who stipulated the hyphenation of the surnames before her marriage to Emanuel.) Emanuel died July 31 1951 in Girard KS. The obits in big newspapers didn't give his family information, but perhaps a more local newspaper would make reference to Josephine; by then Aubrey was remarried, so it may be very revealing to find a local obit or funeral home records or will/probate. I found a tree online that gave the following information for Emanuel & Marcet's children. Perhaps one of their obits would make reference to Josephine. a) Alice Haldeman Julius, * ... 26 May 1917, ... Sept. 1991. Married. Details of marriage and issue suppressed. b) Henry Haldeman Julius, from ... , Henry Julius Haldeman, * ... 1 Nov. 1919, ... 7 Jan. 1990. Unmarried. Here's SSDI information for both, and FLDI information for Alice. Perhaps you can track down their obits to see if Josephine is mentioned as a survivor: Social Security Death Index about Henry J.

I wonder whether anything about the family is archived there. Interesting to see that in 1910 Emanuel JULIUS was in NY, and is enumerated as married/years unknown. I found reference to Josephine's birth date (1909Sep18) in Bridgeport Telegram, 1927Dec06, page 6. This is not consistent with her age of 11 months in the 1910 census, which would put her birth at about May 1909. I also found the interesting SSDI entry below. Birthdate doesn't match, but if I remember correctly the newspapers were referring to Josephine as age 16 in November 1927, so she may have believed she was born in 1911. Social Security Death Index Name: Josephine Wettstein SSN: 514-24-8184 Last Residence: 66762 Pittsburg Crawford KS Born: 1 Dec 1911 Died: Oct 1983 State (Year) SSN issued: Kansas (Before 1951 ) Unfortunately, I don't have access to LA Times, where one might expect to find references to Aubrey & Josephine between 1941 (when Josephine was referred to as Mrs. Aubrey Roselle in Marcet's obit) and circa 1945-when Aubrey apparently remarried.

Thank you. I had to stop doing research last night so did not get to pursue further the earlier information sent, although not sure I would have thought about doing a google search as you did for A.C. Roselle. I can see the companionate marriage did not work out - not surprised after all I read about it and getting an idea about Josephine. If she did not die early on then she probably re-married and that is that. He certainly took a turn in his life after the marriage to Josephine... Thank you again for finding this.... as always, one answer found, another question to be answered.

I found them on a 1930 census in Chicago. Nothing further until I then found the death information on Aubrey just a few days ago and saw he died in California. Josephine does not show up on death information under any name; she was born 1909- she could, of course, still be living but again, an obit on Aubrey would certainly help out. As for the name explanation: I did a lot of research on Haldeman-Julius while looking for Josephine since she was married under the surname Haldeman-Julius rather than her birth name of Wettstein; there were articles from all over the country about this couple so I know them well. They published the "famous" Little Blue Books in Girard, KS and after the scandal about the companionate marriage and their own lies about Josephine being their illeg. child and so on (there is so much one has to read it) they move their firm to Freeport, Ill. for a while. Emmanuel combined their surnames when he and Anna Marcet married and thus became known as Haldeman-Julius. If one does a Google search you are overwhelmed with information on this couple and the connection Marcet had to the Hull House in Chicago. Fascinating, really. I have done extensive research on the Wettstein family as they are/were my family of research; the Haldeman- Julius part came up while trying to track Josephine and which complicated/confused the research because of their lies, her using the surname Haldeman-Julius instead of Wettstein. I have tried every possible search for her on SSDI - nada. The most recent thing I have on her is what I mentioned above.

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, October 12, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 28 RECOVERED - Mr. Owen PARISH, of whom we spoke some time ago, and whose life was placed in so precarious a condition, from the effects of the wounds which he received from the ruffians who made the attack upon him, has entirely recovered from his injuries, and is now able to go around and attend to his business. SERIOUS AFFRAY - On Tuesday evening last, a dispute arose between S.D. GATEWOOD and James SMITH, both teamsters well known to most of the residents in this part of the county, which resulted in their coming to blows, when GATEWOOD drew a pocket knife and inflicted two or three severe and dangerous wounds upon SMITH. GATEWOOD was immediately lodged in jail and has since been fully committed to await the action of Grand Jury. SMITH is lying very low from the effect of his wounds, with very little ground to hope for his recovery. This sad affair has created much feeling and anxiety in the community - but as it has yet to go through a thorough legal investigation, we purposely refrain from stating any details of the affray. ASSOCIATES - On Monday last a Convention of the Justices was held at the Court-room, when John GREER and L. WHITTINGHAM Esqrs were elected Associate Justices of the Court of Sessions for the ensuing year. TOOK THEIR SEATS. - On Monday last the several new officers took their positions and commenced the duties of their respective offices. And in every instance the incumbent is here in person to attend to those duties. The retiring Treasurer squared up his books to the very hour of transfer, presented vouchers for everything, and counted over the money to balance. The same system and exactness was observed in every other department. The business of the county has so far increased that the Clerk and Recorder, though an untiring worker himself, has found it necessary to have a regular deputy and has appointed .T.W. LATHROP, Esq. to that position. No better selection could have been made. Upon entering upon the discharge of his duties Mr. BOWMAN appointed George W. FOX his Under Sheriff. No other officer has yet found it necessary to appoint a Deputy. Wm. GODFREY, former proprietor of this paper, has made arrangements to start a daily paper at San Jose, on the eighteenth of next month. We predict for this new enterprise a perfect success. No better field could be found than San Jose presents, and Mr. GODREY is just the man to manage such a concern and make it pay. His success in a business point of view will only be eclipsed by the "personal appearance" of his paper, for with him to superintend the mechanical department, our San Jose neighbors will soon boast the best looking daily in the State.

(1920 & 1930 census, newspaper items, etc.) An item about Marcet's death (Fresno Bee Republican | Fresno, California | Sunday, February 16, 1941 | Page 10 ) indicates that Marcet's surname was HALDEMAN and Emanuel's was JULIUS. This may be important in identifying Josephine in a death index (possibly JULIUS as maiden name, rather than HALDEMAN-JULIUS). Do you have her marriage record or any other resource that shows her birth date? If so, you could search SSDI on first name Josephine and birth date. What is the most recent known fact (date & place) you have for Josephine?

I had earlier found the other part that you mentioned, re his death and mother's maiden name which was a follow up to my first discovery of him on the SSDI . I keep hoping for an obit to find out about Josephine and the result of that companionate marriage. I would be surprised if they had children. Since he was 91 at death, the est. age is certainly way off - wonder where this info came from? I am not sure that doing a reverse look up would be of any help -won't tell me what I am looking for. Will add the new tid-bits to my notes - thanks for sending this on.

Roselle who died in San Mateo County 17 Oct 2000. According to the SSDI, his last residence was Portola Valley in San Mateo County. I have tried online searches in addition to the libraries; does anyone have any good suggestions for further online research? I prefer not to write to Sacto for a copy of a death certificate as all I want is a bit of information that may or may not be on there, anyway. ["Unknown" is not my favorite word on a death certificate]. His wife was Josephine Wettstein aka Haldeman-Julius; they had a "companionate marriage" in 1927 in Kansas. I have found nothing on her at all, anywhere.

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, October 5, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 27 DECLINES. - We understand that the newly elected Public Administrator declines to qualify. "The fame is not worth the powder," he thinks. We are inclined to think Dr. TRIPP would feel under obligations, if he would relieve him of an office which has been an encumbrance ever since the county was organized and now promises to continue so for two years more. CAUGHT. - MOONEY, the escaped jailbird ran against a snag on Monday last, and is now in his old quarters again. T.W. LATHROP, our Deputy County Clerk, was stopping at the American Exchange in San Francisco, and on going into the back yard was surprised to meet MOONEY, face to face. MOONEY declared stoutly that he did not know LATHROP, but it was no go - he had to abandon his quarter at the American, and take lodgings at the Cross Bar again. We think he will stay there this time. REMOVAL. - As we were creeping the mountain the other day, over the new road to Halfmoon Bay, we were surprised to find our friend, Supervisor BYRNES, half way to the summit. He was moved his stock of goods, building and all, to this new location, and seems now to be finely located, with a fair prospect of a thriving business. DENTISTRY. - It will be seen by reference to advertisement that Dr. E.S. GABBS, at his office corner of Santa Clara and Market Streets, San Jose still continues to do all kinds of work in his line of business where he may be found at all times prepared to wait upon his customers. Having had a long experience in the practice of his profession the Doctor is prepared to perform operations in the very best manner, on the most reasonable terms. STILL AHEAD. - By reference to advertisement, it will be seen that Mr. JAMES A. CLAYTON, corner of Santa Clara and Market Streets, San Jose, is still ahead in his line of business. The fact that Mr. Clayton has received over all competition, all the premiums for both Ambrotypes and Photographs by the last county fair held in San Jose is a sufficient evidence that he will render satisfaction to all who may give him a call. THE MORGAN HOUSE. - We would call the attention of our readers and the public generally, to the advertisement of the Morgan House, Corner of First and San Fernando Streets, San Jose, which appears in another column of our present issue. This well known Hotel, under the management of its present gentlemanly and accommodating proprietor, Mr. E.J. WILCOX, is fast finding favor in the eyes of the traveling public. HALFMOON BAY For the first time in several months we made a visit to this locality on Tuesday last. We found that Redwood City is not the only place in the county which is improving. At Halfmoon Bay we saw many indications of improvement - business seemed to be on the increase, and new buildings going up, or just completed. Leading among these is the Halfmoon Bay hotel, a fine new building just fitted up and opened by Messrs. ELLSWORTH & MORSE whose card will be found in another column. The flour mill which was once thought a doubtful experiment has proved itself a success has all the business it can possibly do and now has but one thing to fear and that is that the Spring Valley Water Co. may rob it of its motive power. We dropped in a moment on our friends BIDWELL & McCABE, whom we found full of business - as that kind of men will ever be short of help, and rapidly getting short of goods. The truth is they advertise freely.sell cheap, and they need more help and greater facilities for transportation, to keep peace with their rapidly increasing business. The new road over the mountain has now bee thoroughly tried for everything except winter travel and proves to be a great and to all present indications, a permanent improvement.

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, September 28, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 26 MARRIED At the residence of Mr. BABCOCK, on the Alameda Road, Jan Rose, By Rev. O.B. STONE, Mr. Franklin HAMILTON to Miss Alice TRAVIS. JOCKEY CLUB. - Quite a number convened at the court-room on Tuesday evening last, to organize a Jockey Club. A lively interest seemed to be taken in the matter, several citizens taking hold of the matter, with an apparent determination to carry it through. Messrs. A.H. ALLEN, J.D. HAVENS, B.J. WHITTIER, A.W. CHEW, Geo. HELLER, Rufus MURPHY, B.J. SALSBURY and W.H. Clark were appointed to select sit for a track, find its probable cost and report at a meeting to be held this evening. FIRE COMPANY. - A fire Company was finally organized at the court-room on Monday evening last. Thirty members were enrolled, a Constitution adopted, and the following officers chosen; - Foreman, W.C. GRAY; First Assistant W.H. SHREVE; Second Assistant C.A. PERKINS; Secretary John AMES; Treasurer, J.W. ACKERSON. The organization is designated as Redwood City Fire Company No. 1, and holds its regular meetings on the first Monday in every month, a 7 o'clock P.M. ESCAPE FROM THE COUNTY JAIL On Sunday Evening last, William MOONEY, the prisoner of whom we spoke last week, effected his escape from the County Jail. It has been the habit hithero, during the day time to let prisoners have the liberty of the jail, that is, to let them out into the main room, locking them in cells at night. This was the course pursued towards Mooney. On Sunday Evening, at about seven o'clock, Mr. AMES, the jailor, took MOONEY his supper, which he left him eating, while he went for his own. In about half an hour, AMES returned to the jail, and found that his prisoner had fled, having escaped through the back door, and over the wall of the jailyard. From the best judgment we can form of the matter, it seems that Mooney must have got hold of a small bar of iron, and during the day forced the lock of the back door, then when the Sheriff came had it all nicely closed, so as not to attract attention, and as soon as again left alone, it being then dark, made good his escape. The door nears evidence of having been opened in this manner. The escape of this prisoner has created considerable feeling and excitement in some quarters, on account of the desperate character of the man, and the inhuman manner in which the offence with which he was charged, was committed. Much fault is found with Mr. AMES, and we have heard one man even go so far as to charge him with having been bribed to let him go. We think such an idea wholly erroneous, - it would take very strong proof to convince us that there was a particle of evil intention on the part of Mr. AMES in the whole transaction. He is not the man who would intentionally suffer such an escape, even for pay. Yet we are not the apologist of the Under Sheriff, and do not think him wholly blameless in the matter. But his greatest fault has been an over confidence in human nature, and a fear of putting too much restraint on an unconvicted prisoner. He was frequently cautioned against this man, as a desperate fellow, and urged to keep him in irons. But MOONEY put on a pitiful face, and talked as if he liked his quarters, and would not run away, even if the doors were left open. In view of his apparent quietness, and of the fact that he had not yet been tried, he was treated with the same lenity as if there for the most trivial misdemeanor, and when an opportunity occurred, he took advantage of it. Our jail is none the safest, although much better than we used to have, and when a man of his stripe gets in there, our jailors cannot be too cautious in providing for his safe keeping. The Sheriff has offered a reward of fifty dollars for the arrest of MOONEY, and two Deputies have been in search of him during this week, but as yet without success. He had on when he left dark pants and vest, old shoes, and black slouched hat, is about five feet seven inches high, dark hair and whiskers - can be readily distinguished by a deep cut on the upper lip; has also a deep cut on one of his fingers. Any person who may arrest him will not only receive the regard, but will also perform an act of great justice to humanity; as we believe him, though a coward, one of the greatest villains in the State. FIRE IN MARYSVILLE. - A fire on D street, Marysville, on Thursday, burned the tannery of Mr. REDMAN.
