THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1896 Dr. West, who was on trial last week for the murder of Addie Gilmore, was acquitted by the jury. It was found necessary to perform a second operation on Robert Woodmansee, as the bone left in the stump showed signs of serious decay. Dr. Cadwallader, who was sent for to assist Dr. Lutz, arrived last Friday, and every thing in readiness Saturday morning, the patient was placed under chloroform and the bone removed to the hip joint. The young man stood the operation well and rallied splendidly. The bone, which was removed, was in a very bad condition, in places large holes had decayed through to the marrow. The patient is now resting easy and is in a fair way to recovery. The many friends of J. T. Boyd, Jr., will be glad to learn that he passed a successful examination before the Supreme Court Commissioners last week and was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court. Our worthy District Attorney, N. J. Barry was also admitted. We wish them both good luck in their chosen profession. Mr. C. E. Gooch and Miss Carrie M. Baker were united in marriage Dec. 25, 1895, J. R. Myers, J. P., officiating. The happy event occurred at Forest Dale, the home of the bride's parents, in the presence of a few friends. Our best wishes for the future. THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1896 Ed. Driskell, who was seriously hurt in a mine at Hayden Hill some time ago, was taken below last week to have his eyes treated. His friends hope that his sight will be restored, but Dr. Cate thinks it very doubtful. BORN WALKER - Near Bieber, cal., Jan. 1, 1896, to the wife of Gottfried Walker, a son. POTTER - At Potter, Cal., Dec. 13, 1895, to the wife of J. J. Potter, a daughter. BURRILL - In Susanville, Cal., Dec. 23, 1895, to the wife of W. H. Burrill, a daughter.

Bob Woodmansee is getting along nicely and is on a fair way to recovery. Mrs. S. H. Paulk is suffering considerable pain from facial neuralgia. Dr. Lutz is attending her. THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1896 Sam Boyd was kicked, by a horse, below the heart, last Friday, and though apparently not seriously hurt is nevertheless confined to his bed. Last Saturday it was found that since the last operation on the leg, a new pus sac had formed in the region of the hip of Robert Woodmansee, which was opened and drainage tubes inserted. The fact that these sacs continue to form indicates that his system is in a very bad condition, and his chances for recovery are much lessened. BORN SUMMERS - In Adin, Cal., Jan. 3, 1896, to the wife of Frank Summers, a daughter. McDIARMID - At Empire City, Nev., Jan 4, 1896, to the wife of F. C. McDiarmid, a son.

KNOX - DOWELL On Monday afternoon at half past one o'clock, Clifford h. Knox and Miss Lilian A. Dowell were united in marriage at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Dowell. After the marriage service, which was impressively performed by Rev. S. T. Reeve, and congratulations had been offered, all sat down and did justice to an excellent wedding dinner. Besides the parents and relatives of the contracting parties, a host of their friends were present, and all were warm in their good wishes for their future happiness and prosperity. The happy couple was the recipients of the following presents: Mr. E. Dowell, horse and sleigh. Mrs. A. M. Way, lot of excellent thread. Mr. and Mrs. Noah Knox, two pillows, slips, and half dozen jars choice table fruit. Mr. W. H. Brunselmeier, set of glassware. Miss Mattie Way, set of tumblers. Mr. A. G. Loomis, lamp.

In the evening a still greater number of their friends gathered together and spent the night in pleasant dance, which was further enhanced by Mr. and Mrs. Dowell treating their guests to an excellent midnight feast. What added still more interest to the occasion was the fact that it was the 19th wedding anniversary of the bride's parents, and it thus served the purpose of a double celebration. The young couple is earnest, energetic and industrious, and enters upon the matrimonial sea full of hope and courage. We join their many friends in hearty well wishes for the future. THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1896 Jack Stratton was taken sick with the chicken pox while on his way to Bieber last week and stopped at A. C. Herrick's, but hearing of his brother's death, he was brought to town and is stopping at the Baker hotel, where he is fast recovering. Charles Stratton died at the Baker hotel Tuesday afternoon after a short illness. His sickness, which we reported last week developed into Typhoid pneumonia to which he rapidly succumbed. Deceased was born in Butte County, California, on the 24th day of April, 1860 he spent the best part of his life in this valley, and all who know him have a good word to say for him. The remains were taken to Adin yesterday afternoon and interred in the cemetery at that place where his mother is already lying at rest. Mrs. Frank Loveland came down from Willow Creek Monday evening to wait on her brother, Chas. Stratton, word having been sent her of his dangerous condition. Johnny Coats, who is well known here, has recently been adjudged insane and was committed to the Napa asylum. He suffered a stroke of paralysis when a young boy which finally resulted in softening of the brain. Prof. A. E. Downing was married the 11th of this month at Fulton, Mo., and immediately started west and arrived at Montavilla, Oregon, where he expects to remain for a while at least. An epidemic in the shape of influenza, or La Grippe has been prevailing here two or three weeks, and among the list sick now with this complaint is Prof. Null, Robt Leventon, Paschal Abernathy, Laura Winchell and Mattie Elliott.

Mrs. Frank Loveland, who has been stopping in town last week taking care of her brother jack, returned home Monday. Shasta County has another murder case on her hands. Isaac R. Lansdale, a wealthy farmer who lived near Balls Ferry, was shot several times by Geo. M. Wright of Tehama County, last Saturday afternoon and instantly killed. Geo. W. Elliott came down Tuesday after the Doctor for his daughter Mattie, who is quite sick. There is somewhat of a romance connected with the marriage of Prof. Downing which our Lookout correspondent reported last week. His marriage to Miss Lizzie Cahall which took place at Fulton, Mo., on the 14th inst., is the happy culmination of a courtship which extended back for twenty years, and was even then solemnized despite the vigorous opposition of the bride's parents. After the ceremony however they relented and forgave and blessed the happy couple. We wish them a bon voyage through life. >From the Redding Free Press we learn that the charge against Web Calavan had been reduced from an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder to that of battery, and he was taken before the Justice of the Peace at Round Mountain for trial. We have since learned that Web was discharged from custody and is on his way home. ~~~~~~ Billie C.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 5, 1896 BORN SHOTT - Near Bieber, Cal., Jan. 30, 1896, to the wife of Fred Shott, a son. LOWE - At Buntingville, Cal., Jan. 26, 1896, to the wife of john Lowe, a son. Geo. Raker was taken before the Superior Court at Susanville last week and committed to the Stockton Insane Asylum.

MARRIED BRUNSELMEIER - WAY - Near Bieber, Cal., Feb. 11, 1896, Henry Brunselmeier and Miss Mertie Way, Rev. S. T. Reeve, officiating. (We will endeavor to get the particulars of the wedding for next issue). Geo. M. Wright, who killed Isaac Lansdale near Balls Ferry a short time ago, had his preliminary examination in Redding last week and was discharged from custody, the testimony showing that the killing was done in self defense. Dr. Cadwallader was over from Fall City Monday and assisted Dr. Lutz in another operation on Robert Woodmansee. The operation was successfully performed and the patient is doing quite nicely; he is able to sit up now and gets around a little on crutches. Paschal Abernathy has fallen heir to a nice little competency through the death of a sister in Missouri. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1896 RAILROAD David Miles of the Red Cross Mill and Lumber Co., was here this week. He made an examination and inspection of the Iron Mountain railroad, and he and members of his Company have in view the building of a narrow gauge road from a point on the overland line near Mott to run out and tap the McCloud River timber belt. That such a road is entirely feasible, and could be built at a comparatively small cost is certain, as a road through Squaw Valley and on to Bartles on the river would run over almost level land. A survey to McCloud has been made and the obstructions to be overcome are trifling from a railroad-building standpoint. - Shasta Courier. Miss Lena, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Dowell, is suffering from an inflammation in the ear. Miss Minnie Brownell arrived home from Grants Pass, Oregon, last Saturday evening. She was telegraphed for owing to the serious illness of Mrs. D. R. Brownell. Word was received here by J. R. McKenzie that his son, Warren, who is attending the Business College at Stockton, was suffering from a serious case of Mumps, but had passed the danger point and is slowly recovering from the attack. BUNSELMEIER - WAY The wedding of Henry Bunselmeier and Miss Mertie Way took place at the residence of the bride's mother Tuesday evening of last week at 7 o'clock. Only members of the family were present, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. S. T. Reeve in his usual impressive manner. The couple were the recipients of a number of pretty and useful wedding presents, and after the ceremony a dance was tendered them at the residence of E. Dowell, to which everybody was invited, and to which invitation a large number had responded who made merry until the small hours of morning. The happy couple has taken up their residence at E. H. Schafer's place, east of town, which Mr. Bunselmeier has rented for a number of years. The editor was in receipt of the usual supply of wedding cake, and joins in wishing the newly married couple a long life of happiness and prosperity. BORN WATSON - Near Bieber, Cal., Feb. 11, 1896, to the wife of H. C. Watson, a daughter. Miss Rachel Crowley has been employed to finish the Pleasanton school and in her own school - Stone Coal - will be succeeded by her sister, Mrs. Mina Smith. We are pleased to note that the citizens of Bieber and vicinity are interesting themselves in a road across the swamp to connect with our road at the county line. It will be a great benefit to both towns as well as the western end of the valley. Don't let up, neighbors, and when you get to the county line with your road, Lookout will meet you there, and our champions will be permitted to climb the "smoke stack," "break bread," and "rub their wine bottles" together. By all means, come on with the road. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1896 MRS. E. HOLCOMB MARRIED. We copy the following from an exchange in relation to the recent marriage of Mrs. Ella Holcomb, a daughter of C. Babcock of this valley, and as the lady in question is well known here, her friends will no doubt be glad to hear of her good fortune. "Sunday evening at the Presbyterian church, immediately following the regular service, Pastor Preston McKinney untied in marriage H. S. Deitcher and Mrs. E. Holcomb. Mr. Deitcher is a well known capitalist, working valuable mining properties on the Hassayampa, below Wickenburg, while Mrs. Holcomb is here well known and esteemed, having been a resident of Phoenix for several years. The couple leave this morning by the Santa Fe for Chicago, where they will visit the parents of the groom for several weeks." BORN CARMICHAEL - At Hayden Hill, Cal., Feb. 18, 1896, to the wife of J. A. Carmichael, a daughter. BROWN - Near Amedee, Cal., Feb. 11, 1896, to the wife of E. C. Brown, a daughter. MARRIED HARVEY - BROWN - At the residence of the bride's parents, near Lookout, Cal., Feb. 23, 1896, William Harvey and Miss Nettie Brown, Rev. J. A. Jones officiating. DIED WOOD - In Susanville, Cal., Feb. 18, 1896, Dennis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis wood, aged 1 year, 8 months and 2 days. Jas McCrary is carrying his left eye in a "sling," the result of a bad inflammation. Raym Calavan stuck a pitch fork into his right foot, near the ankle joint, yesterday morning and was brought in to Dr. Lutz to have the wound treated. The whole town was out looking for little Earl Brownell Monday forenoon. He had disappeared and no trace of him could be found for some time. It was thought that he fell into the river and a number of people were dragging the stream, but he was finally fished out from under C. W. Perkiss' house, where he had crawled to take a nap. The people of Adin were disturbed fro their slumbers last Friday morning about 3 o'clock by the cry of fire. Summers' blacksmith shop was burning, and when first discovered, the fire had already made considerable headway and the prospect for saving the building looked slim, but the people went to work with a will, and aided by the calm air which fortunately prevailed at the time, they succeeded in extinguishing the flames, not however until one side of the roof was about completely burned over. The fire is supposed to have caught in the shavings beneath the workbench, and the carpenter and woodworking tools were all destroyed. It was a fortunate escape for the building, and bad there been a high wind it might have proven disastrous to the whole town. Last Thursday Constable Eades arrested and brought before Judge Myers two boys who were accused of taking school books from the Modoc school house wherein the teacher had to dismiss until the matter was settled. The affair was amicably settled outside of Judge Myers chambers, so we are informed. Yesterday about 20 minutes to 2 o'clock we heard the school bell ringing and knowing that Prof. Null don't teach school on Sunday we inquired the cause of the ringing of the school bell, and were told that the school bell was not ringing. Of course, we knew better, but we hesitated - for further explanation, our informant then told us that "those bells were wedding bells," and at 2 o'clock, Miss Nettie Brown, daughter of our neighbor, H. S. Brown, was to marry Mr. Will Harvey of Adin. He further informed us that the happy event had been kept very quite and only relatives and a very few friends were present. We have known the bride for years, and know her to be an accomplished, intelligent and refined young lady, and knowing her good judgement in all things, we don't hesitate to say that her choice for a life companion is good. We know, personally, but little of Mr. Harvey, but he is highly spoken of by all his acquaintances. May your lives from the second to the third milestone be one of health, happiness and prosperity. The "wedding bells" rang until 20 minutes past 2 o'clock, so as to be sure to cover the time of making "solemn promises." ~~~~~~ Billie C.

Congratulations by the assembled guests followed, after which all retired to the dining room, where an excellent wedding supper was served, the tables being fairly loaded with the good things of life, which could not help but please the palate of the most fastidious. The time was pleasantly spent in conversation until 11 o'clock, when all retired to their respective homes.

Nothing, it's a girl, that is all," and then he tried to look like a dad as much as possible.

I was working with the 1880 census and came across "Works on Straw" as an occupation. Does anyone have an idea what that could be? Thanks, Billie ~~~~~~ Billie C.

A major genealogical event is coming to Sacramento in May!!! It's the National Genealogical Society (NGS) Conference in the States -- 19-22 May 2004. Full-color, 20-page registration brochures for the NGS Conference are in the mail and will be available at research libraries, family history centers and genealogical society meetings soon. This year's conference has some exciting offerings for people interested in California history and genealogy. One of the featured speakers is J.S. Holliday. Associated with UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library, the California Historical Society and the Oakland Museum of California, Mr. Holliday is a noted California Gold Rush historian and author of *The World Rushed In: The California Gold Rush Experience* and *Rush for Riches: Gold Fever and the Making of California*. The title of his conference presentation is "Far from Home and Family: The Origins of California's Risk-taking Culture." It's about the wild and adventuresome lifestyle of the men who came to the Gold Rush, far from the moral influence of their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. Also of special interest to California researchers are the following classes: "California Gold Rush" "Research Facilities in the Golden State" both presented by Chuck Knuthson. Chuck is a native of northern California with deep roots in the gold country. He is webmaster of the Sierra County GenWeb site. "Did Your Ancestors' Siblings Take YOUR Family Papers to California?" by Sheila Benedict, CGRS. Sheila is a professional researcher from southern California specializing in California records. "Using California Records to Find Southern U.S. Ancestors" by J. Mark Low, CG. President of the Association of Professional Genealogists, Mark brings to his lecture the perspective of the importance of researching California records even if you don't live in California. Other classes pertinent to tracing the ancestry of Californians are on westward migration, railroad records and land records, especially federal land records. This is only the third time in more than 20 years that the NGS Conference has been held in California, and it won't be back any time soon. If you live in California, this is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to experience a national conference without expensive travel costs. If you live in another state, but have California roots, this is the perfect excuse to visit the home of your ancestors. Please join us for "A Golden Prospect" National Genealogical Society Conference in the States Sacramento Convention Center 19-22 May 2004 Watch for brochures or visit www.ngsgenealogy.org and click on the SACRAMENTO logo.

She was the first wife (m. 31 Oct 1791, Lancaster City, Lancater County, Pennsylvania) of John Peart, b 31 Oct 1791. Following this line from their son Benjamin Franklin Peart, (b 9 Jan 1830, Lamperter, Lancater County, PA.) who married Sophia Elizabeth Fiske (b 26 Nov 1846, Michigan). Through this union they produced Striling Bejamin Peart (b 24 Dec 1889, in Woodland, Yolo County, CA). Stirling married Gladys Vesta Elkins (b 28 Jun 1898, in Mt. Shasta City, Siskiyou County, CA.) and their daughter Carol Elizabeth Peart, b 21 Feb 1923, in Woodland, Yolo County, California. I cannot find the name of her husband. Carol passed away in 2003.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1895 RICE - OSBORN Miss Grace Osborn, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Osborn, formerly of Modoc County, and cousin of Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, was married to M. B. Rice, at the residence of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Rice, at Aptos, on Wednesday at high noon. Rev. C. Tillotson of the Calvary Episcopal Church officiated. The bridal party entered the parlor to the strains of the "Wedding Bell March" played by Miss Bessie Rice, and took their position in a canopy of woodwardia ferns under a floral horse-shoe of smilax and La Mark rosebuds. The bride, who is a tall, stately blonde, looked very sweet in a gown of cream Henrietta trimmed with a garniture of silk point lace and ribbon. She carried a bouquet of sweet peas and maidenhair ferns. Miss Katie Ord of Aptos attended the bride and was attired in blue crape trimmed with chiffon lace and white ribbon. The grooms' best man was his brother, D. W. Rice, who has just arrived from the East. After the ceremony, hearty congratulations were offered. Congratulatory telegrams and letters were received from a number of friends in Modoc County and Chicago. The bride and groom then led the way into the dining room, where an elaborate wedding breakfast was served. After spending some time at the tables in partaking of the palatable viands and listening to toasts, the bride slipped away and donned a traveling suit of grey mixed wool with hat and gloves to match. The rooms were darkened and beautifully decorated. In the parlor, ferns and white chrysanthemums predominated, while in the dining room the prevailing colors were green and yellow. Mr. and Mrs. Rice took the 2:20 train for San Francisco amid a shower of rice and old shoes. They will take up their residence at Pacific Grove, where the groom has a lucrative position with the Southern Pacific railroad Co. The presents were numerous and costly. Only the following members of the family were present: Mr. and Mrs. Osborn, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Rice, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Rice, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Long, Miss Katie Ord, Miss Bessie Rice, J. Ord, J. M. Rice, D. W. Rice, C. F. Rice, Sam Osborn. - Santa Cruz review. A. C. Frick, who robbed the Klamath stage some time ago, was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years of hard labor in the penitentiary. DIED McWILLIAMS - Near Bieber, Cal., Dec. 1, 1895, James McWilliams, a Native of Ohio, aged 63 years. DEATH OF JAMES McWILLIAMS Last Sunday morning at 4 o'clock James McWilliams, after an illness of a few days, died peacefully at his home in the lower end of the valley. He had been ailing for several months, but his malady took a serious turn only a few days before his death. Deceased was born in the State of Ohio in 1832 and came to this State with his family in 1870. He leaves a wife and eleven children, six boys and five girls, to mourn his death. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, the remains being laid at rest in the Hillside cemetery in the presence of a large number of people. The family has the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. H. Kraft, the well known banker, died at his home in Red Bluff Nov. 24th. McCOY - POWERS At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the parlor of the Fall City Hotel, Mr. Sylvester McCoy and Miss Mary Powers were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Miss Lenora Neate acted as bride maid and Mr. A. A. Baker as groomsman, and Rev. D. W. Gilbert, in the presence of some seventy invited guests, spoke the words that binds them together for life. The quartette of happy young people, as they walked into the parlor to the beautiful strains of the wedding match rendered by Miss Minnie Zumwalt, and took their places in front of the man of God, presented a beautiful picture, and one which would create a lasting impression on the minds of all who witnessed the ceremony. At the conclusion of the ceremony the friends came forward and offered congratulations, and then repaired to the dining room where was spread a bountiful wedding feast consisting of delicacies too numerous to mention, but the crowning feature was the beautiful bride's cake, which stood like a beautiful statue in the center of the table. Mr. and Mrs. McCoy are well known to the people of this valley, and that they are universally loved and esteemed was attested by the large number of beautiful and useful presents received by them. That the remainder of their married life may be as happy as the beginning, is the earnest prayer of their many friends. - Fall River Tidings. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1895 TWO FULL MOONS We are to experience during this month a very curious astronomical phenomena; one, which has not occurred before since the birth of Christ via Two full moons during the month of December. The first full moon occurred on December 1st, at 10:29 o'clock a.m. The second will occur on December 31st, at 12:22 o'clock a.m. Many persons, who are religiously inclined, believe that this phenomenon foretells Christ's Second Advent, as it has never occurred since the month and year in which he was born. The youngest child of Mrs. Clara Vernon died in Fall River valley on Dec. 2nd.

MARRIED HOFFMAN - DIETER - Near Buntingville, Cal., Nov. 28, 1895, Floyd Hoffman and Miss Ella Dieter. The home of our junior partner, F. A. Smith, was filled with sorrow, last Sunday. A baby boy was born, but its life was of short duration and in less than an hour its little spirit had fled to the maker who gave it life. Enlargement of the liver was the cause of death. The little one was laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery the same afternoon and the sorrowing parents can rest assured of the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. - Alturas New Era. The many friends of Mrs. Smith (nee Mina Crowley) in this valley will learn with regret of this sad blow, and sincerely sympathize with the sorrowing parents in their bereavement. H. S. Brown arrived home yesterday and we learn that, he was robbed by John Stout and his son in Redding. Brown, we were told, had Stout arrested, and by a little lecturing from an officer, the boy went and got most of the money where he had it hid under a log. BROWN AND STOUT They Occupy the Same Room and Brown Loses His Money. H. Brown, a farmer and stock-raiser of Big Valley, arrived here Tuesday in company with John Stout, a man who had been in his employ all summer. They occupied the same room in the Golden eagle hotel Tuesday night. Brown, on retiring, had $119 in his pocket. Stout, so it is said, had one dollar. When Brown put on his pants Wednesday morning, he did not have a cent. Stout was suspicion of having taken the money, and was arrested by Marshal Eckels and charged with robbery. On searching him the officer found a few dollars, and learning that a certain boy in town had about $35 in money which he could not account for, and that the lad was a friend of Stout's, he thought they were in together on the supposed robbery. We understand that Stout has arranged matters satisfactory to Mr. Brown. - Redding Free Press. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1895 February 21st, is the day set by Judge Murphy for the execution of Durrant.
