Hi Sandy, I'll send you the 1930 census image off-list. In 1930 he is shown with wife Emma; children-Doris, Lorraine, and John. You might notice on the census image that there is a "Solari" family towards the bottom of the page, and looking at the birth records below you'll see that Emma's maiden name was SOLARI.

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, April 30, 1859, Vol. 1 No. 4. REMOVAL - J. THORPE, of the San Bruno House, has removed from his old stand near the Twelve Mile House, and has opened a new and commodious hotel at the junction of the San Bruno and County roads. HOME SUMMARY Gen. James M. ESTELL, whose name is so widely known in connection with our State prison affairs, died in San Francisco on the 26th. Jos. White, a young man from Albany, N.Y., in a fit of insanity on Monday last, three himself from the balcony of the City Hall in San Francisco, and died soon after. The San Francisco papers have been making a great blow about the conviction of one Mary PFISTER, a pretty German woman, for larceny. It may be right, but we think they need hardly be so severe on so faithful an old Coon as the present Police Judge, on account of a single error. In Stockton, on the 21st, Jacob ELYEA was sentenced to be hung on the third of June, for the murder of McWADE. By the arrival of the Salt Lake mail we learn that eleven men have perished between Salt Lake and the South Pass, from cold. Judge CRADLEBAUGH has left Provo, and the military have returned to their old quarters. The trial of Harry WAPPNER for the murder of Louis VOLMER in March last, was concluded in the Fourth District Court on Wednesday last, and resulted in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. Julius KORN, formerly of the German Journal, will next week commence the publication of a daily German paper in San Francisco. Wyatt BIRDSALL, the late engineer of the ferry-boat Contra Costa, was arrested yesterday, on the charge of causing by carelessness, the death of H.L. OSTRANDER and Joseph HOLSTER. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $2500.

HACKETT, by an act passed March 31, 1854, together with all and singular the tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances thereunto belonging or in anywise appertaining, and the reversion and reversions, remainder and remainders, rents, issues and profits thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that on THURSDAY, the 12th day of MAY, A.D. 1859, at 12 o'clock, noon, in front of the Court House doors, Redwood City, San Mateo county, I will see said property at Public Auction to the highest bidder for cash, pursuant to said order. JOHN W. ACKERSON Sheriff San Mateo County BIG BARN. - Messrs. SHAW & KENDALL are now erecting on the ranch of Horace HAWES, Esq., the largest building in the county, being a barn fifty feet wide and one hundred and fifty-two feet long. It is designed chiefly as a storehouse for hay, but is being well framed, and will remain for a permanent institution. BRICK YARD. - On the completion of the courthouse, last Fall, the brick-yard, opened by the contractor upon that building, and the only brick-yard in the county, was abandoned. But we are pleased to learn that another one has been opened on the farm of T.G. PHELPS, Esq., where our townsman, W.C.R. SMITH is making arrangement to turn out brick in any required number. This fact alone is significant of another - that considerable improvement in this vicinity must be in contemplation to justify the undertaking of such an enterprise. Indeed, we learn that many thousand brick are already contracted for, to be used here and at Belmont. CHANGE OF STATIONS. _ Stables are being built at THORPE's new Fifteen Mile House, for the U.S. Mail stages, which will be the first station out of the city, when they drive over the new road. The next station will be at this place, where the Company are about to build stables for their use. ON THE STOCKS - The sloop Sarah Ann, of San Francisco, has been for some days on the stocks at McLeod's ship-yard, in this place undergoing repairs. SPEEDY CONVEYANCE. - The Overland Mail, which arrived in San Francisco on the 12th, brought letters to merchants in that city, from Boston, postmarked "March 18." This is the most speedy mail overland conveyance we have yet had, being only twenty-five days on the journey. LAND SLIDE AT MONTE CRISTO The following is taken from an extra of the Sierra (Downieville) Democrate, dated April 19th: On Monday evening at about sundown, the inhabitants of Monte Cristo were started by a rumbling noise like that of an earthquake; the earth had parted, and a large mass, about twenty five feet in width, and of great bulk was precipitated down the mountain side, a distance of about four hundred feet, carrying away three dwelling houses. There was great consternation among the inhabitants in that part of the town. It was soon ascertained that four persons were missing, Mrs. Howe __________ of her children, one _______________ the other a little girl between two and three years of age, and also the little some of Mrs. P. WRIGHT, aged four years. The city turned out immediately after the accident in search of the missing, and recovered the dead bodied of Mrs. WRIGHT's boy and that of Mrs. HOWE's infant. That night about nine o'clock, there was another avalanche, which compelled those in the neighborhood to flee from the threatened danger. Early this morning the search was resumed, when Mrs. HOWE's body was found, having a large beam resting upon the neck. She must have been killed almost instantly. The body of Mrs. HOWE's little girl was not found up to the time our informant left; another child of Mrs. HOWE, a bright girl of about seven years, was carried on the top of the avalanche, and was saved, though considerably bruised and scratched. Mr. HOWE (husband of the lady above mentioned) was saved by one of those mere chances which are of such frequent occurrence in events of such a nature. He had but a moment or two been out of the house where Mrs. HOWE and the children were, and was talking with a man about the probable danger of a landslide, when the crash came. Three miners, living in a cabin next to the house of Mr. HOWE, had just finished supper and left their cabin when it was crushed to atoms, and they had barely time to flee from impending death. Parties living in that part of the town had been warned of the danger of remaining. POISONED. - A Frenchman, whose name we have been unable to learn, residing with several others at the landing, on the San Francisquito creek, died suddenly on Monday morning last, evidently from the effects of poison. As we have heard the story, he arose early in the morning with a view of going away to work before the others about the house were up. Having partook of some coffee, which he had prepared, he was seized with convulsions, and shortly after died. An investigation was made by the people of the house, which resulted in the conclusion on their part that a cask of water which was always kept near the door, outside the house, and from which the water for the coffee was taken, had been poisoned with strychnine. Whether this conclusion is correct, we are unable to say. The affair is shrouded in mystery. Some parties are suspected of having intentionally poisoned the water, but we understand none have yet been arrested. ==================================================== Websites: http://www.seeley-society.net http://www.newspaperabstracts.com ====================================================

Soledad O. de ARGUELLO, Jose Ramon ARGUELLO and S.M. MEZES, against Richard KELLY and Ann KELLY, his wife, duly attested the eighteenth day of April, A.D. 1859, I am commanded to sell the following described property, to wit: All that certain piece or parcel of land forming a portion of the ranch known as the Pulgas Ranch, lying and being in the County of San Mateo, aforesaid, which, according to a survey made thereof on the twenty-ninth day of January, A.D. 1858, by Alexander GARDI, County Surveyor of San Mateo County, is bounded and described as follows: Commencing at a stake in a willow thicket at the foot of the Lake Raymundo, in a mound of earth and stone being a small stump two inches in diameter, and about twenty inches high, S, 55 3/4 degrees E, five links and a willow tree blazed and marked with a cross about one foot in diameter S 36 ½ degrees E fifty-seven links, said stake being one of the corners of the Pulgas Ranch on its western boundary in the Canada de Raymundo, as confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, and surveyed and located by the Surveyor General of the United States; thence, by true meridian, (magnetic variation being 15 degrees 17 minutes E.) along the same boundary of said ranch S 45 ½ degrees eight 70-100 chains; thence north 54 thirty minutes E eighty-six 80-100 chains, to a stake for a corner; thence N forty-nine degrees W twenty-six 16-100 chains, to a stake for a corner, driven against the northeast side of a live oak tree forked from the ground, having the north fork blazed and marked with a cross; thence along Thomas G.

JOHN W. ACKERSON, Sheriff San Mateo County STATE OF CALIFORNIA County of San Mateo I, MARION DIGGES, A MARRIED WOMAN, residing within the State and County aforesaid, being desirous of availing myself of the benefits of an Act of the Legislature of the State of California, passed April twelfth, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, entitled "An Act to authorize married women to do business in their own names, as sole traders," in conformity with said act do hereby declare that it is my intention to carry on the business of Farming and stock-raising, in my own name, and on my own account, and that I will be individually responsible, in my own name, for all debts contract by me on account of said business. The amount of capital invested in said business is fifteen hundred dollars. MARION DIGGES - - - - STATE OF CALIFORNIA County of San Mateo On this twenty-first day of April, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, personally appeared before me, a Justice of the Peace in and for said county, Marion Digges, known, known to me to be the person, described in and who executed the within instrument, who acknowledged to me that she executed the same freely and voluntarily, for the uses and purposes therein mentioned. J.P. AMES Justice of the Peace HOME SUMMARY The U.S. Grand Jury ignored the indictment for murder against Capt. PENDLETON, and asked leave of the Court to present him at some future time for manslaughter. A corner's jury in San Francisco have decided that the explosion of the boiler of the steam ferry-boat Contra Cost, on the 3d inst., was caused by an undue pressure of steam, which was allowed to accumulate through the neglect of the engineer, Wyatt BIRDSALL. Charles BARSS has been tried for the second time in the Fourth District Court, for the murder of A.A. MATSON, at Michigan Bluffs in 1857, and acquitted. The U.S. Grand Jury have presented one more indictment for cruel treatment (making five in all) and one for manslaughter, against Capt. PENDLETON. The Juty in the SEALS case, referred to last week, failed to agree. Another trial has been had, but we have not learned the result. OUR COUNTY We received, a few days since, a letter from one who, with his family, is desirous of locating here, making inquiries as to schools, titles, prices of land, etc. For the benefits of its author and all others desirous of obtaining information relative to our county, we give the following additional statistics: SCHOOLS - Each township in this county constitutes on school district, and such district is divided into two or more precincts. In every precinct in the county, we believe, with a single exception, schools are now taught during most of all of the year. In the First district, but on school is not taught. This one is located at San Mateo, and is under the supervision of Mrs. S.E. SEGRAN, who is said to be an excellent instructress. Heretofore, this school has been well and liberally sustained, the wealthy citizens of that vicinity taking much pride in its maintenance, and contributing liberally towards its support by private subscription. An increase in their pro rata of the public money does away in a great measure with the necessity for this kind of aid, but whenever required, the people of San Mateo can be relied upon for a liberal contribution for the support of this or any kindred institution. The Second district has been recently divided into two precincts, in both of which we believe schools are now kept. We have not yet learned the name of the teacher in the new precinct. In the old one, at the Purissima, Thomas L. BOUCHER is acting in that capacity, and from the fact that he has been constantly engaged there for a long time past, we are lead to infer that he is popular among the people. The Third district is divided into three precincts, with a school at Redwood City, one at Woodside, and one at West Union. The school at Redwood City is under the charge of Daniel LUNT, a gentleman who enjoys an enviable reputation, both as a tutor and as a man. We are happy to know, from personal observation, that this school is in a flourishing condition, that the pupils are rapidly advancing, and that the attendance is much larger than usual. Some improvements have recently have been made in the interior of the school house, and others are still needed. We are informed by the trustee that an effort will soon be made to raise a sufficient sum among our citizens to put the building and grounds in good condition. Let us hope that the effort may proved successful. At Woodside, O.P. MASON, has for several months been the teach, and from what we learn, enjoys the confidence of his patrons. The same may be said of J.H. PRATT, the teacher at West Union. An effort is being made to create still another precinct in this district, with a school located at Searsville. The inhabitants of the place have already provided a comfortable house, and the granting of their request in this particular would be but an act of simple justice to a large number of people. The number of children in the county, in October last, between the ages of four and eighteen years, was, in the First district, one hundred and eight; Second district, one hundred and eleven; Third District, two hundred and twelve. Those in the Third district are divided among the precincts as follows: Redwood City, seventy-five; Woodside, seventy-eight; West Union, fifty-nine. TITLES -The titles of land in the county have not all been settled, yet still they have been so far determined that a person exercising reasonable care and judgment need have but little apprehension in this respect. Anywhere, however, in the vicinity of Redwood City, Belmont, or San Mateo, the titles are perfected and good. Prices of land are not as low as, for the good of the county at large, we might desire, still good farming or grazing lands may be purchased in this vicinity, with good title, at moderate rates, and upon easy terms.

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, April 16, 1859, Vol. 1 No. 2. PROBATE COURT - An order was entered in this court on Tuesday last, that John GREER be appointed guardian of Manuela COPPINGER, a minor, and that letters issue to him upon his filing bonds in the sum of one thousand dollars. REPORT OF THE COUNTY AUDITOR The following is the condition of the County Treasury for the Quarter ending April 1st, 1859: Cash on hand, Jan. 1st 1859 $8,936.60 Receipts to April 1st, 1859 $5,198.89 Total $14,135.49 DISBURSEMENTS Paid into State Treasury $6,237.15 Paid Auditor's Warrants $1,565.58 Paid School Warrants $453.08 Total $8,256.41 Cash on hand $5,879.08 APPORTIONMENT In State Fund $3.819.41 In County Fund $1,257.62 In School Fund $764.41 In Road Fund $37.64 Total $5,879.09 HOME SUMMARY Wm. MORRIS, tried in the Fourth District Court, San Francisco for the murder of Richard H. DOAK, was on the 12th found guilty of murder in the first degree. He will be sentenced on the 30th. The trail of Charles GILMAN, for the murder of R.S. RUSSELL, was concluded in the Fourth District Court on the 13th, and resulted in the conviction of the accused of murder in the second degree. Mr. FOUSER, charged with the murder of DURIE, the policeman, what tried in the same court a few days since, and acquitted. On the 13th, Judge McALLISTER, of the United States Circuit Court, submitted a lengthy opinion in the case of Martin GALLAGHER vs the bark Yankee, affirming the judgment of the District Court, by which GALLAGHER was allowed three thousand dollars for having been forced to take a trip to the Sandwich Islands against his will. Four indictments have been found against Capt. PENDLETON, of the bark Sarah Park, for cruel treatment of seamen, and another presented to the jury, charging him with murder. The Alta Telegraph Company have recently received from the East, and on Friday of last week proceeded to lay, across the Straits, from Benica to Martinez, a telegraph cable. The work of laying the cable was superintended by Capt. REASE, of the revenue cutter W.L. Marcy, and J.E. STRONG, of the Northern Telegraph Company. LEGISLATIVE - In this department we find but little of interest, as a great share of the legislation for the past week has been specially for the advantage or disadvantage of San Francisco. We notice, however, that a bill was passed a few days since relative to the office of sheriff of San Mateo county. HIGHWAY ROBBERY - On Sunday last, a Chileno named Andreas ROW was arrested near Searsville, on a complaint entered by A. LEWIS, a pedlar, who stated that he had been robbed on the highway by ROW and another Chileno. At the examination before Justice SEARS, LEWIS stated that on Saturday last, while on his way from Mountain View to the Redwoods, on the mountain road, he was overtaken by two men, who accompanied him a short distance, saying they were going to the Redwoods to work. Having arrived, at a point on the road where the bushes were very thick, one of the ruffians dropped behind and stuck him a severe blow on the back of the head, which felled him to the ground. He was then dragged into the bushes, the robbers also leading the horse which carried his goods. They then took what money he had in his possession, threatening his life at the same time, and after ransacking the packages of goods, they made their escape; first, however, compelling the pedlar to swear, with a knife at his throat, that he would not inform on them. ROW was arrested on Sunday morning, and is now in jail awaiting his trial before the Court of Sessions. The other robber has not yet been arrested, but the authorities are in pursuit of him, and he will probably soon be taken.

MAYNARD Edge Hill, Canada Raimunda, April 10, 1859 CALIFORNIA PAPER - We notice that the Alta California has, for the last few days, been printed on California-made paper, of a very good quality. This is the first of its use, we believe for that purpose. ELECTION AND FIRE AT SAN JOSE - San Jose, April 12 - At the charter election held in San Jose yesterday, under the charter lately passed by the Legislature, the following were the successful candidates: for Mayor, Thos. FALLON; for Marshal, J.R. GUNN; Assessor. W.K. PARIS; Councilmen, A. PFISTER, C.W. POMEROY, J.M. WILLIAMS, R.G. MOODY, Jas. MORRISON. The day passed off with a good deal of interest and excitement among the host of candidates who were running, there being about twenty different tickets in the field. A large fire occurred here last night about 11 o'clock. The block of wooden buildings next south of the Catholic church was entirely destroyed. OUR COUNTY We stated in our last number, that a local paper was a source of information to the people of its own county, and that it was also the source to which non-residents and strangers look for information in regard to the resources and advantages of that county. As an evidence of the correctness of that proposition, we notice that our article on "Our County," has already been copied by some of our contemporaries, a fact which renders the duty of chronicling things in relation to our county, one of increased pleasure. We have within our county several places that may be properly termed local centers - places where the people go on business and for pleasure. The most important of these is REDWOOD CITY, the county seat, located on the Pulgas Rancho, about twenty-eight miles south of San Francisco, with which city it is connected by a daily double line of stages and with which, also, it carries on a considerable trade by water. It contains thirty dwelling houses, one hundred and seventy-five permanent inhabitants, besides a number of transient persons, three general merchandize stores, two drug stores, two blacksmith shops, one wagon shop, two livery stables, one shipyard, one confectionary, bakery and restaurant, one daguerran saloon, one good hotel, one bowling alley, one mattress maker, and a number of carpenters and persons engaged in the lumber business. This estimate is of the town proper, only - there are many inhabitants in the immediate vicinity who are not included herein. The climate of this place, like that of all others in San Mateo county, is delightful, having all the beauties and very few of the disagreeables of San Francisco. The location is a very health one, indeed, an excellent physician who is living here, finds much reason to complain that it is "distressingly health." The great bulk of the business here is the lumber trade, carried on with San Francisco. This town is the principal outlet of the Redwoods, the place from which their millions of feet of lumber, posts and shingles are annually shipped. It is about four miles distant from the Bay, and connected with it by the Embarcadero Creek, the banks of which are here lined with wharves, where may be seen any day during the business seasons, quite a fleet of small vessels, receiving and discharging their cargoes. We have seen as many as fifteen sail here at one time. This place was platted in 1854 by the proprietors of the Pulgas rancho, and called Mezesville, a name by which it is still known in all deeds and instruments of title; but Redwood City is the more favored and general name, and it is the name given in the act locating the county seat. There is here a large brick courthouse and jail, which was erected during the last year, at a cost of ten thousand dollars. Several other brick building are in contemplation, to be erected during the coming summer. BELMONT - three miles north of Redwood City, is one of the most beautiful locations in the county. It is the center of a considerable trade, has three stores, a hotel and a restaurant. Here, also, some lumber and a quantity of produce is shipped to San Francisco. Near Belmont, in one of the most lovely locations in the State, is the country residence of the managing proprietor of the Pulgas rancho. SAN MATEO, eight miles north of Redwood City, is perhaps one of the most beautiful spots imaginable, and commands the admiration of every one who has seen it. Situated upon the high lands, in the midst of shady groves of live oaks, sheltered by the western hills from the ocean winds and fogs, with the broad bay and every variety of landscape in view, it is a scene of beauty from which a lover of the picturesque in nature would never willingly turn away. It is a great resort of pleasure parties from the city, many of whose wealthy citizens are looks towards it with a view to locating country seats. Already beautiful and costly residences have been erected in this delightful neighborhood by Messrs. Howard, Macondray, Polhemus, Whipple, Cook, and others, and many more will soon follow. CRYSTAL SPRINGS, in the Canada San Andres, three miles west of San Mateo, is also becoming a favorite resort for pleasure seekers. Situated in a little valley, thickly studded with the clustering live oaks, surrounded on every side by high mountains, shut out from cold winds, and rich in nature's beauties, it is truly a proper resort for the lovers of pleasure. SPANISH TOWN, situated at Half-Moon Bay, is the outlet of all the commerce of the western portion of the county. It is a fine location, looking fairly our on old Ocean, and is the centre of a rich agricultural district. It has several stores, and a variety of other branches of business which go to make up a country town. WOODSIDE, about six miles from Redwood City, though it makes no pretensions to the title of town or village, is nevertheless somewhat of a public place. Situated at the foot of the mountains, in the immediate vicinity of several mills, it is the center of quite a trade. It has one store, in which is the post-office. Mountain Dell Division, No. 74, Sons of Temperance, is located here. At this point, also, - the citizens have done what has not, as yet, been accomplished in any other place in the county - they have formed a library association, and have already accumulated quite an extensive library of excellent works. We would that the example of the people of Woodside might be more generally imitated. SEARSVILLE, a little village two miles and a half south of Woodside, it also a considerable point of trade with lumbermen. Here is quite a two, with two stores, a blacksmith shop, two hotels, etc. Here is also another postoffice, established, like the one at Woodside, by the Government, for the accommodation of the people, but both are dependent upon their own resources for mail facilities. They are, however, supplied with a daily mail, which we believe is conveyed to and from Redwood City, at the joint expense of those two offices. THE FRUIT CROP - We regret to learn that much of the fruit in this vicinity has been injured, and some of it entirely cut off by the late frosts. Complaints of this kind are very general throughout this valley, but we entertain a hope that the injury is not so great as at present supposed. The peach has suffered the most, although all kinds of fruit are injured to a greater or less degree. We are assured, however, that no serious results need be apprehended except upon the low lands, and as an evidence that the trees on the low lands only have suffered, we are told that the peaches at Madame VIOGET's are uninjured. These trees stand upon a light, rich soil, but slightly elevated above the plain, and to our knowledge, came out very early in season. Speaking of peaches, reminds us of the fact that S.M. MEZES, Esq., has been putting out quite an extensive orchard this season, in his beautiful place in the Canada Diablo, and among other varieties of fruit trees, has planted a thousand peach, of two years growth. These trees have been set about seven weeks, and there is already considerable fruit formed and growing upon them. We predict __________ great success in this enterprise, as his little valley seems to us to have been designed by Nature for the production of this delicious fruit. GRAIN-GROWING - We would like to be able to publish a correct statement of the amount of grain growing in this county the present season, and to that end must ask the farmers, as they have an opportunity, to furnish us the statistics. We are indebted to B.F. FOX, Jr., for a statement of the number of acres put in by the several occupants of the San Mateo ranch, which has been given us for publication in compliance with the request for statistics of this character, made in our last issued. From this statement we learn that there are now growing upon that ranch, which is one of the smallest grants in the county, thirteen hundred and fifty acres of grain, nearly all of which is wheat, and bids fair for an abundant harvest. We noticed one field of four hundred and fifty acres, put in by Mr. DUBBERS, of the San Mateo Farm, one of the finest fields of wheat we ever saw. Mr. D has also two hundred and fifty acres on his own farm, and the appearance of the whole speaks well for his system of farming. ==================================================== Websites: http://www.seeley-society.net http://www.newspaperabstracts.com ====================================================

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, April 9, 1859, Vol. 1 No. 1. TO THE PUBLIC In making our bow, as the pioneer paper of a county, to her citizens, we are fully aware of the arduous and responsible position which we have assumed. We know that the starting and maintaining of a paper in a new county like this, is a Herculean task, from which one well might shrink, but we have fully weighed the matter, and have determined to make the effort, confident that if we prove worthy of it, the citizens of San Mateo _________________ essential to any enterprise of the kind. And the more readily will they do this, when they realize, as every one who gives the matter a moment's reflection must, that a local paper of the kind we propose to publish, is an institution calculated more than any other one thing to advance the interests of the whole county. A local newspaper, properly conducted, becomes the center of the entire system of a county - the fulcrum around which revolves all other interests - the medium through which her own citizens derive their intelligence of what is transpiring in their own locality and in other lands - from which non-residents who are looking thitherward with a view of investment or of settlement, seek to learn the character of the soil and of the people, the amount and the nature of the general business, and the extent to which business, of the kind they seek, may be pressed. Every local paper is peculiarly the emigrant agency, so to speak, of the county wherein it is located. Again, it is the medium through which her business men make known to each other and the world their business and their wants - through which her local government publish to their constituents the situation of her affairs, and keep them advised in reference to all those minutiae in which every tax-payer and well-wisher of the county feel a peculiar interest. Such a paper it is our object, and shall ever be our aim to furnish, and while we make it peculiarly local in its character, giving especial attention to the publication of whatever of interest may transpire in our own community, and to the advancement of our new, beautiful, and growing county, we will furnish, in each number, a condensed summary of the general news of the State, the nation and the world. We know that with reference to the latter part of this undertaking we must necessarily be hind-hand with a few of our readers, and were the furnishing the general news of the day our only object, we would at once abandon the self-imposed task; for we are so near the great commercial metropolis of the West, that we cannot for a moment presume to compete with her vigilant dailies in supplying the people with intelligence from other shores. But we can compete with them and even do more than they attempt, in the publication of home news; and when we add to this choice selections of narrative, anecdote, poetry, articles on agriculture, mechanics, and science, in short, a variety of all those things which go to make up a home and family paper, we shall expect the support and encouragement of our fellow citizens. We do not furnish our readers with a "blanket sheet," nor can it be expected, in a small county like ours, that we would, but like the little child, we hope, as we increase in years, to increase in strength, and stature, and shall endeavor to increase in usefulness. Many will doubtless inquire at once after out political faith. While we confess that as an individual, like other men we are possessed of political principles, partaking more or less of a party character, yet as a public journalist, we shall hold ourself independent of all parties. Nor do we intend to interfere in any manner with political affairs, farther than to record such movements, without reference to party, as may be of interest to out readers. While our columns will be ever open to the proper discussion of any measure which may be before the people, they will invariably be closed to all assaults upon individuals, or upon any party as such. In no case will we be made the organ of any party, or the tool of any clique. In short, it shall be ever our aim to furnish a paper which shall be the advocate of out county - the guardian of her interests - and which shall give satisfaction to her people.

In the matter of the petition of Mary Jane HILL, for the appointment of guardian, a somewhat lengthy examination was had, when the petition was dismissed. CEMETERY MEETING - Union Cemetery Association, held and adjourned meeting on Monday evening last. Very little business was before the meeting, but from the Secretary's report we learn that the ground chosen for a cemetery has been paid for, _____ and filed for record, and that there is a balance of cash on hand or subscribed of $105, ready to be appropriated for fencing as soon as the amount shall have been sufficiently increased to justify it. In a future number we will a brief history of the organization and object of this association. The officers of the association are J.V. DILLER, President; C. N. FOX, Secretary and Treasurer; J.W. TURNER, Superintendent. SONS OF TEMPERANCE - We had the pleasure of attending the public installation of the officers of Mountain Dell Division, No. 74, SD. Of T., at Woodside, on Saturday evening last. This Division is in a flourishing condition, having upwards of fifty members. The officers installed were: John GREER, W.P.; J.D. ROSE, W.A.; J.S. BOLLINGER, R.S.; W. WHITLOCK, A.S.; John LAWRENCE, F.S.; L. WILLIAMS, T.; D.W. SAMSON, C.; F.GILBERT, A.C.; Jos. GIBBS, I.S.; Wm LAZWELL, O.S. After the installation the meeting was addressed by C.N. FOX, esq., of this place, upon "the evils of intemperance as entailed upon individuals." SCHOOL MEETINGS - At the annual school meeting of Redwood City precinct, District No. 3, held pursuant to law, on Saturday last, C.N. FOX was elected Trustee for the ensuing year. We have not learned the result of elections at the other precincts in the District. The election in District No. 1, at San Mateo, resulted in the choice of Messrs. Nathaniel ROSE, Joseph BUTLER and David McCLENNAN. District No. 2 we have not heard from. RESTORED - The Governor has restored to citizenship Wm. BROWN, who was sent to the State prison from this county, for one year, for attempt to commit arson. He has completed his term, and has been out several months, and this restoration is made on account of his good behavior, both in prison and since his release. APPOINTMENT - C.N. FOX, Esq., has been commissioned by the Governor as a notary public for this county, for two years. SUICIDE - Coroner McCLURE held an inquest Wednesday last, on the body of a man found on a hill about half a mile west of Belmont, in this county. Upon examination it was ascertained that deceased had killed himself by blowing out his brains with a shot-gun, which was found lying by his side and which he had discharged with his foot, a string having been carefully attached to the triggers for the purpose. A receipt for rent from George MOODY, San Francisco, and a memorandum of gold dust deposited with Haraathy, Uznay & Co. for assay together with a number of other papers, several articles of clothing, $40.85 in money, and a silver watch, were found in a valise and upon the body. By the paper his name is suppose to have been Jacob WOLFF, a native of Baden, Germany. There is no clue to the cause of the rash act. The body was very much decayed, having lain, as estimated by Coroner McCLURE, about three months. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the facts as above stated. The gun with which WOLFF killed himself is double-barreled, one barrel only of which has been discharged. On drawing the load from the remaining barrel, it was found to consist of a large charge of powder and seven heavy six-penny nails. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION - SIX LIVES LOST - The steamer Contra Costa, plying between San Francisco and Oakland, was blown up on Sunday last, killing six persons and wounding some eighteen others. From the reports in the San Francisco papers we learn that the boat and the Oakland were racing, the Oakland being in the rear - which accounts for so few lives having been lost, as the passengers were, at the moment, all in the stern of the boat, watching her competitor. The starboard boiler was blown completely out of the boat, and was afterwards discovered half buried in sand in the shoal water, on the Oakland Bar. The following named persons were killed or so severely injured as to die within a few minutes: David W. CADY, street contractor; Michael G. SMITH, barkeeper of the boat; Henry L. OSTRANDER, one of the crew; Colbert WEISISHIP, fireman; George McDOWELL, chief fireman, and one other, name unknown. Eighteen others were severely injured, one of whom, Joseph HOLSTERER, died of his wounds Monday morning. The Oakland was immediately brought to and rendered every assistance possible. The captain and engineer of the Contra Costa were arrested to await the result of an inquest. OUR COUNTY Most of our readers may think they know all about San Mateo county, and that any thing we may say in reference to it, is superfluous; but a record of a few things connected therewith may be found convenient for future reference, and not a few may find therein something before them unknown. San Mateo county is bounded on the east by the middle of the Bay of San Francisco, on the west by the Pacific ocean, on the north by the line of the United States survey separating townships Two and Three , South (Mount Diablo meridian,) being a line running east and west from the bay to the ocean, and crossing the San Francisco road a little north of the "Abbey Hotel"; on the south by the middle of San Franciquito Creek, following the south branch thereof to its source in the Santa Cruz mountains, and by a line from thence due west to the Pacific ocean. These boundaries include the following Mexican grants; a part of the Merced and Visitacion, or San Bruno; the whole of the Buri Buri, San Pedro, Corral de Tierra, Feliz, San Mateo, Pulgas, Ramundo or Coppinger, Purissima, and a part of the San Gregoria and Corte de Madera. These grants are now claimed to cover the entire county, but there is little doubt that when their titles are settled and boundaries determined, there will be a number of good farms yet left in the hands of the Government. The county contains, according to the assessment of 1858, 155,981 acres. This of course, is exclusive of the swamp and overflowed along the line of the Bay, very little, if any, which had then been entered. A very great proportion of all this area is of the very best quality, either for agricultural or grazing purposes. It is estimated that already there are 20,000 acres under cultivation, and this is but the beginning of what may be done. Much more is occupied for pasturage, and yet there are thousands of acres lying idle for the want of occupants. All kinds of grain, and nearly every kind of vegetable once put into the ground, produce an abundant harvest upon our soil, and all our valleys are well adapted to the production of every kind of fruit known to this climate. Nor are we wholly without minerals; coal of the best quality is found here; springs from sulpher and iron, possessing superior medicinal properties are found on the Purissima; gold has been found at different times and in divers places throughout the entire length of our county, and many believe that it will yet be discovered in sufficient quantities to warrant the working for it. Throughout most of the county the landscape is relieved with beautiful groves of white and live oaks, and on out southern border redwood timber is abundant. Already millions of dollars have been reaped from the manufacture of these giant forests into lumber, and still "the work goes bravely on." Ten saw-mills, we believe are in active operation, but of their aggregate annual production we are unable to give an estimate, and we request of the manufacturers of lumber, posts and shingles, that they furnish us with estimates, as nearly correct as possible, of the annual production of each, together with such other information in regard to their line of business as may be of interest. And here we may be permitted to ask the same favor of the farmers, the fruit growers and the stock raisers. These are all matters upon which we can as yet be but imperfectly informed, and we desire to make a faithful record of all the resources of the county. From the tax-book of 1858 we learn that the assessed valuation of the real estate in the county for that year was $619,332; of improvements, $242,345; of personal property, $570,489.50; total $1,432,161.50. Upon this assessment was levied a tax amounting in the aggregate to $21,462.43, divided as follows; State tax $8,592.97; county $7,160.81 court house $3,580.40; school $1,482.16; road $716.08; delinquent , $160.01 We have no reliable means of determining the aggregate amount of agricultural products or the number of live stock in the county, and shall have to wait the action of our farmers and stock-raisers in furnishing the facts upon these points. From the "State Register" of 1858, which probably nearly correct upon these points, we find that there were growing in the county in 1857, 7200 apple trees, 24,200 peach, 232 pear, 318 plum, and 1980 cherry, a small number each of other varieties of fruit trees, and 40,000 grape vines. The county is divided into three townships, the first being all that part lying north and east of a line running from the Embarcadero at Belmont, west to a point where the road crosses the top of the mountain just north of WILSEY's house; thence north along the top of the mountains to a point a little north of east of the residence of James DENNISAN; thence west to the ocean. The second township is all that part of the county south of the last mentioned line and west of the top of the coast range of mountains. The third township is composed of all that part east of the top of the mountains and south of the first mentioned line. The county forms a part of the Fifth Senatorial District, which has four Senators, one of whom, Hon. T.G. PHELPS, is from this county. It is at present represented in the Assembly by Hon. D.W. CONNELLY, of Half Moon Bay. It also forms a part of the Twelfth Judicial District, Hon. Edward NORTON, District Judge, the terms of whose court, as also those of the other courts held in the county, together will a list of county officers, will be found in another column. The number of votes polled at the last election was five hundred and thirteen, which will probably be increased to about six hundred at the next election. We did intend to notice, in this connection, some of the most central points in the county, with the business, but on account of the length of this article, they will have to be made the subject of a future notice.

There were about forty guests present and each joined in the spirit of the occasion. The surroundings were profusely decorated with Shamrock and evergreens, in which much taste had been displayed. It was a surprise to see the young people of Colma - no one before realized there were so many nice young girls and boys. Each joined heartily in the fames and dances, following fine piano music and Mrs. C.P. LAMBERT's concertina which was a band in itself. It was certainly an occasion long to be remembered and many were the sincere wishes extended to Miss Irene, who is one of Colma's most interesting young ladies. ** DISASTROUS FIRE AWAKENS DALY CITY Two Business Building Destroyed - Another Badly Damaged - Loss About $14,000 A few minutes after three o'clock Monday morning a brisk fire was discovered in the HEIME market on Mission street, between Knowles and Los Angeles avenues, and it gained headway so rapidly that by the time the volunteer fire company arrived the building was a mass of flames and doomed, so that efforts were exerted to save adjoining property on each side. The water supply was fairly good but it was discovered that the Theta avenue hydrant would not work and that delayed the fire fighters considerably, so that the fire spread in both directions, consuming in its path the small real-estate office and setting fire to the large PESCARO building while to the north the new GENOCHINO building was also in flames, notwithstanding the heroic efforts that were exerted to keep the fire from spreading in that direction. The origin of the fire is unknown except that it started in the building that is owned by Emelio SCRAMAGLIA and occupied by Louis HEIM. The losses were as follows: E. PESCARO, damage to building about $2,5000; stock about $3,5000. Fully insured. Dr. F. BUSH, dentist in Pescaro building, total loss of about $1,000. Insurance $500. Dr. G.L. MARION, physician in Pescaro building, loss about $1,000, no insurance. Emalio SCRAMAGLIA, building $1,500 Louis HEIM, market fixtures $1,200, insured for $800. Tony GENOCHINO, the new building on the corner of Los Angeles avenue and Mision, that was to be occupied by J. PANNELLI with a grocery stock as soon as complete, loss about $3,000. KASSER, real estate office, loss about $150. ** PACIFIC COAST SIDE What Our Neighbors Along the Pacific's Shore Have Been Doing, Are Doing and Will Do E.K. HUTCHINSON and wife of Oakland spent the week-end with Mrs. HUTCHINSON's sister, Mrs. H. AMSELER at Farallone City. Word has just been received by friends residing on the Coast Side of the death of Mrs. Albina B. BOFFA at her home in Petaluma. Mrs. J.E. MEYERS of Brighton Beach was taken to San Francisco Monday where she had a very serious operation performed. Mr. MEYERS accompanied his wife to the city. Dick DANERI is on the waterwagon again. At which the people of Half Moon Bay rejoiceth, for the streets of the town needed sprinkling, the dry weather having caused musch annoyance in migrating much dust. Dick is a good shot at deer, but when it comes to throwing rocks he is no better at it than a lefthanded cross-eyed woman. Judge KERRICK can verify this. Death has again invaded the LUIZ household. Two weeks ago the busband and father answered the summons to pass beyond, and yesterday morning the wife and mother, Mary F. LUIZ, made the same sad journey. She was aged 55 and leaves several relatives and many friends in the community to mourn her loss. L.H. PFISTER, an inspector of the State Dairy Bureau, swore to a warrant for the arrest of M. ALBRECT, charging him with maintaining an unsanitary dairy. ALBRECHT appeared before Justice PITCHER Friday for trial and was fined $10, with the admonition that if he did not put his dairy in proper condition within thirty days the full penalty of the law would be administered to him. He promised to be good. ** REALTY TRANSFERS Ocean Shore Dev. Co to R.J. Ganow et al Lot 4 block 16, Resub. Marine View Terrace Same to same Lot 5 blk 16, Resub Marine View Terrace V.W.

Committee: Geo.W. SAVAGE, A.K. BODIEN, H. HARPER ** James Scott CRONK Is Laid to External Rest The remains of James S. CRONK, formerly constable of the Third township for eight years, who died at the Soldiers' home near Los Angeles, last Sunday, arrived here Tuesday afternoon and were at once taken to the Redwood City Undertaking Parlors on Broadway. The funeral took place from there the following afternoon. Long before the hour set for the funeral service the parlors were crowded with sorrowing relatives and friends of the deceased. The beautiful services of the Methodist church were conducted by Pastor YOUNG in an impressive manner. At Union Cemetery the services were under the auspices of Embarkadero Camp, Woodmen of the World, the impressive ritual service being read by Commander F.N. HARRIS. The deceased served in the U.S. Navy during the Spanish American war, and was honorably discharged. Mr. CRONK was 37 years old. "Jim" CRONK, as he was known by his many friends, grew up, and lived in Redwood City until a few months ago when he was afflicted with eye trouble which rendered him almost totally blind. Through the efforts of friends he was sent to the Soldiers' Home, where it was hoped his sight might be restored. CRONK served with distinction in the navy during the Spanish American war. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Minnie CRONK, and three children, Bryant, Irene and Gladys, all of whom reside in this city. His mother, Mrs. BYERS, lives in San Jose and a married sister, Mrs. Charles NICHOLS, is in San Francisco. His father, the late Samuel CRONK, was the owner of a livery stable here for many years. - Times Gazette. ** Every Inch a Man J.H. FLYNN, a carpenter by carpenter by occupation and for many years a respected resident of San Mateo is seeking the office of constable for the second township. He has long been a leading spirit in the affairs of the Building Trades Council, among the members of which he knows not an enemy, and has every qualification to eminently fit him for the position. The writer has personally known him for a long time and can vouch for the truth contained in the claim made by the caption to this article. - Coast Side Comet. ** Misfortunes of Angelo Michletti That misfortunes never come singing is well illustrated in the case of Angelo Micheletti, whose ranch is in the gulch beyond the wireless telegraph station from Daly City, near what is known as the "Nigger Mitchell" ranch. He is well-known in Colma where he has a host of friends who truly sympathize with him. Angelo Micheletti came to Colma about fifteen years ago and settled on the ranch that he still owns and by the greatest industry, succeeded in the accumulation of considerable property. In fact, everything that he touched seemed to turn to cash until about a year ago. The first disaster that befell him was an accident in which his boy was run over, necessitating the amputation of his leg, and his life was saved only by the greatest efforts that required the best medical and surgical skill. This of course cost a large sum of money, but even that did not insure the lad's good health. Not long after that, Micheletti lost a barn, containing two car loads of valuable hay by fire, with no insurance, and during the last year eighteen of his best horses have died. The again, his brother was the victim of a runaway accident, being thrown out in front of Coakley's road house about three months ago and was instantly killed. With all else, Micheletti's family has been cursed with a great deal of sickness and a streak of general misfortune seems to have puvated the atmosphere, so that all his neighbors and friends are most sincerely in sympathy with him. ** GIANT INITIATION HELD BY MOOSE Twenty-five hundred candidates to Moosedom, were put through a series of rituals Sunday in Dreamland Rink and before night became full-fledged members of the order. This was one of the features of the four day's convention started Saturday by the Moose. Judge George CROTHERS of the Superior Court was sponsor for the applicants and went through the secret work while the newly made members looked on. Those in charge of the ceremonies were Frank MONAHA, dictator; Thomas ROACH, past dictator; Marc ANTHONY, past dictator; Frank J. DEVLIN, treasurer; Louis A. EASTON, secretary, and Dr. Louis KUTTNER, financial secretary. After the events in Dreamland Rink a banquet, at which were seated 500, was given in Knights of Columbus Hall to the national supreme officers, who are attending the convention. Supreme Dictator Walter E. DORN made an address, reviewing the objects of the Loyal Order of Moose and the strides it has made since its inception ten years ago. He laid especial stress on the necessity of co-operation from the rank and file of the order in making Moose Heart, a city built and controlled the Moose near Aurora, Ill., a full success. DORN was followed by James J. DAVIS of Pittsburg, supreme dictator, whose speech created enthusiasm. ** PACIFIC COAST SIDE What Our Neighbors Along the Pacific's Shore Have Been Doing, Are Doing and Will Do Mrs. J.J. HIGGINS, who has been very ill is improving in health Roy McAULLIFFE, one of the surveyors who surveyed for the boulevard between Montara and Half Moon Bay has been transferred to San Gregorio. Antone Manuel LUIS, aged 72, and well and favorably known on the Coast Side, having resided here many years, died last week. Father BERTHOLA of Ocean View spent an enjoyable time with Father ANDRIANO in Half Moon Bay Monday and Tuesday. Being classmates in days gone by, the visit was fraught with much pleasure to both. Fred BOISEN, manager, Omaha, Neb., branch of California Redwood Atlas Tanks, was at Farallone visiting C.J. HORN and C.M. JOHNSON. Mr. BOISEN owns property in the Coast Side Triangle and after a tour of this section he see a great future for us. BAILEY, who confessed to a misdemeanor charge last week before Justice PITCHER in preference to standing trial for a graver offense was fined $50. He wasted lots of water when the supply was short by secretly connecting with the water company's mains. This seems to be a case in which too much water is as hurtful to one's pocketbook as too much wisky. NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the matter of the estate of Dominico Canepa, deceased Notice is hereby given by the undersigned, Administrator of the estate of said deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased, to exhibit them with the necessary vouchers within four (4) months after the first publication of this notice, to the said Administrator at the office of said Administrator, South San Francisco, California, the same being his place for the transaction of the business of said estate in the said County of San Mateo, State of California.

Fizpatrick, Attorney for said estate Publish 5 times This notice first appeared in the Daly City Record, March 20, 1914 ** Articles of Incorporation Filed The Alex Murdock Co. has incorporated with a capital stock of $25,000, divided into $2500 share at a par of one dollar each. The purpose is to engage in the sale of real estate and personal property. The actual amount of stock subscribed is $50 by the following stockholders, who have subscribed one share each, Alex Murdock, Fred Hambleton, Caesar Rodoni, F.F. Bacon, and J.A. McCarl. ** REDWOOD CITY RUMBLINGS The following marriage license was issued at San Rafael Friday: Charles E. BACON, aged 26, and Christine S. RUL, aged 25, both of Redwood City. Harry LYNDALL has removed with his wife to Oakland. Mr. LYNDALL has accepted a position with the Standard Oil Company in San Francisco. He was employed for some time with the same company at this place, but resigned some months ago. The population of San Mateo county was 6635 in 1870, 1880 it was 8667, in 1890 it increased to 10,087 and in 1900 it was 12,094 and in 1910 it had reached 26,185. Thus the population doubled in the past ten years and it is safe to predict that it will treble in the coming ten years. Miss Louise PITCHER graduated with honors as a professional nurse from the Children's hospital in San Francisco last week. She at once came here to reside with her mother and to practice her profession. Ever since she has been engaged on a case at the Huling sanitarium. The small cottage belonging to J.J. TRAVERS on Oak avenue was destroyed by fire Thursday night. The origin of the blaze is unknown. Mr and Mrs. TRAVERS were down town at the time and when the alarm was turned in, they left for the scene of the fire at once, but before they reached there, the house was burned to the ground. C.J. HOWARD, a chauffeur for the Kelly Livery Company of San Francisco was arrested for speeding Sunday by Motorcycle Officer Jas. LOGAN at Menlo Park, was sentenced to a fine of $20 or an alternative of two days in the county jail by Justice of the Peace Lampkin Friday. "I haven't got the money, I guess I'll have to go to jail," said the prisoner. Howard was warned against speeding by Officer LOGAN several months ago. Charles SCHMEIR passed away at his home in San Francisco last week after a brief illness. His wife was formerly Miss Lilly RUMBOL of this city. ** LOREN COBURN IS COMPETENT "Friday, the 13th, Mighty Unlucky Day for Other Side," Declares Aged Man Loren Coburn, the 88 year-old Pescadero millionaire, walked out into Kearny street from the Hall of Justice Friday evening and was looking across the way to Stevenson's monument where a band of Chinese children played, when a bailiff of the court hurried out and said: "The jury has returned a verdict and they say you are competent to handle your own estate." The aged millionaire climbed back up the stairs so fast that it made the bailiff who followed breathless to keep up. When he got back into Judge Cabanish courtroom it was all over. The jury had been discharged. But if Coburn had needed any verification of the bailiff's words he found it when he saw his aged wife, Mrs. Salira Coburn, kissing and shaking hands with every one there whom she knew. ** REALTY TRANSFERS Same to Jno Faber and wife.

The boy will not be handicapped very much as he will have the full use of the hand. The justice court of the Third township earned in fines during the year of 1913, the sum of $2025, the amount being more than twice the annual salary of the justice. However, the amount was not near as large as the year previous. This may be accounted for by the fact that motorist are beginning to learn that they must obey the speed laws and fines are not so much, in fact they have dropped nearly sixty per cent since 1912. J. SOMERS was sentenced Friday by Judge Lampkin to pay a fine of $35 for speeding. He was arrested for the offense on March of last year by Officer Brown and told to appear for trial, but disregarded the admonition, and did not come to Redwood City. Brown saw him the other day coming down the peninsula and he again arrested him. Judge Lampkin was at first inclined to impose a jail sentence, but on the pleadings of SOMERS, he finally let him off with a fine. P.H.

Surnames: Godfrey Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UW.2ADI/944.2 Message Board Post: D.C. woman at teller killed in van accident By John Curry – Times Staff Writer DALY CITY – A Daly City woman at an automatic teller machine was killed and the driver injured when his van went out of control and slammed into the woman at about 9:20 a.m. Wednesday, investigators report. Fire Capt. Karl Schoenstein said firefighters responding to the call at Mission and East Market street found the west-bound van had knocked down four parking meters and a utility pole before crossing the sidewalk and hitting the woman. The victim was identified as Lorraine M. Godrey (sic), 68, who died later at Seton Medical Center, Daly City. The driver, Alfred L. Brown III, 48, of Daly City, was trapped in the wreckage of the van and it took firefighters 45 minutes to extricate him, Schoenstein said. He was taken to Seton, where he was listed in stable condition in the intensive care unit this morning. Police said witnesses told them they had seen Brown’s vehicle a few blocks away being erratically and at speeds of up to 60 mph. Brown may have had a seizure of some kind, officers surmised. Godfrey had just completed a transaction at the automatic teller and was starting to walk away when she was struck, police said. Police were at the scene immediately. Schoenstein said one of the cars Brown’s van narrowly missed was a patrol car stopped at a traffic light. San Mateo Times, Thursday, October 22, 1992 page A3
