I am looking for information or living relatives o f James Addison born Jun 1890 - Nov 1985 Alemeda and wife Catherine (or Katherine) Lawson Addison abt 1902 - Catherine and James Addison have had a son James who was born about 1914 I think. I think I find them in the 1930 Census - San Francisco If this is the right one - Father born: Ohio Mother born: Maryland and MAYBE his mother’s maiden name was CRAIG I am related to this family through the Lawson Family. Helen Doyle Lawson's mother is my great grandmother's sister. I have this interesting obit of Helen Doyle Lawson. I was led to James Addison through this obit which places them in Tulelake. My most recent discovery is that Helen and Frank Lawton are buried at Arlington National Cemetery ( Frank born 1876 and died in 1960 ) Frank I also believe I have found at the Letterman General Hospital in 1920. I think he must have been disabled somehow in the Spanish American War. THANKS, Mark Brown in New Paltz, NY 4rmb@att.net Independent Journal Wednesday, Dec. 31, 1958 Page 2 Helen D. Lawson, Friend of Marin Labor, Succumbs Private funeral services for Mrs. Helen D. Lawson, 80, a longtime Sausalito resident, were held today at Harry M. Williams Mortuary in San Rafael.Mrs. Lawson died yesterday after long illness at a local hospital. She had lived many years in Sausalito and for a brief time in a San Rafael apartment with her daughter, Mrs. Katherine Addison. Mrs. Addison, who survives, now lives in Tulelake, Siskiyou County. Mrs. Lawson for almost a quarter of a century acted as an unofficial friend of organized labor in Marin County. She would stop at the office of the Marin County Central Labor Council to learn what was going on in labor circles and then would pass the information on to her friends. She was a member of John H. Harris Auxiliary 82, United Spanish War Veterans, Woodwardia Circle 663, Neighbors of Woodcraft, and the Marin Senior Assn.

Siskiyou County., California 1885 County Directory YREKA This city, the capital of the county, is situated on the west bank of Yreka Creek, in the western part of Shasta Valley. It is 431 miles from San Francisco and 350 miles from Sacramento. The route of the California and Oregon Stage Line passes through Yreka, where the headquarters of the Company are located, and necessarily pays some considerable tribute to the business interests of the city. The town was settled in 1851, the precious dust found in many of the gulches and streams of Shasta Valley, attracting many of the argonauts of that day to this locality. The town consequently ranks as the oldest in northern California. The ephemeral prosperity of that era was exhausted with the working out of the placers which gave it its original attraction, and its subsequent history and development is the creation of the steadier element which remained behind after the adventurous portion had been drawn away by new discoveries. Under the steadier influence of this remnant, with the accretions in population made by new comers of like character, there has been a gradual growth in the surrounding farming country until now, in this vicinity, no interests outside of agriculture are considered as of great importance - the rich, fertile farming and grazing lands of Shasta Valley furnishing ample opportunities, and the progress of this improvement only awaits the advent of through railroad connection to e assured of material increase in its ratio. The altitude of Yreka is about 2,500 feet above the level of the sea, but the climate is mild, without extremes of heat or cold, and remarkably healthy and invigorating. All fruits of the temperate zone grow to perfection, and the abundance of roses and vines which adorn the residence portions of the town is evidence sufficient of the salubrity of the soil and the geniality of the climate, while the generally substantial character of its buildings, both for residence and business, is evidence of the permanent character of her citizens. In her business composition Yreka has and maintains her full proportion of trading, mercantile, mechanical and manufacturing interests, although in the last item her development is scarcely begun, as she possesses in the waters of Yreka Creek a power sufficient to drive almost an unlimited amount of machinery. In hotel accommodations she is fully equipped, and the demand for the dissemination of news and general information on the part of her citizens is met with by the publication of the Yreka Semi-Weekly Journal, by Mr. Robert Nixon, and the Yreka Weekly Union, by Mr. George Rodgers - two enterprising and flourishing newspapers, fully alive to the demands of the city both present and prospective.

It is one of the oldest settlements and was the chief point in the western part of the county in Siskiyou's early mining history, which, as to its mining character, it still retains fully one-half of the business interests, being sustained by this industry. The development of its fine agricultural surroundings have, however, within the past few years, elevated the farming interests into as much prominence as its mining. As a commercial point it is the headquarters for the trade of western and Northwestern Siskiyou and the eastern part of Del Norte County, Happy Camp in the latter county getting a considerable portion of its supplies and all of its express matter via Fort Jones. Among the more important business houses of the place may be noted Carlock's Bank, two flouring mills, several general stores, of which that of Mr. H. J. Diggles enjoys a flourishing trade, a hardware, clothing, furniture, millinery, two wagonmaking establishments, blacksmith shop and photographer, as well as a first-class livery stable, kept by Mr. Andrew A. Beam. The Scott Valley News, published by Messrs. Curtis & Markey, is an influential and well-patronized weekly, alive to the interest of the town and surroundings, is doing good service in bringing before the country at large the many advantages of the section in which it is located.

Owner of the upscale "Clothes Horse," located next to the Niles Hotel in Alturas, she purchased the women's clothing shop from Gladys Woodward. She operated the business with her daughters during the late 1970s and early 1980s, when she made Modoc her home for a 15-year period. Originally from Alberta, Canada, where she was born to Vernia and Mabel (Graham) Winset on July 17, 1918, she finished high school in Healdsburg, Calif. and attended Santa Rosa Junior College. During the war, she worked in San Francisco. In 1954, she married Milton Young, a helicopter pilot, who was killed in a 1969 helicopter crash on the north slope of Alaska.

Irvin McGarva As the Angels in Heaven cried, on Saturday, November 28, 2003, the family and friends of Irvin McGarva gathered in Likely, California to say their final good-byes to a father, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, a friend and a cowboy. Irvin was born on September 22, 1934 to Bob and Mary McGarva at Likely, Calif., in what is now called "the old McGarva house." Irvin and his brother Doug would spend their early childhood and part of their teen years with their grandparents, Doug and Maggie McGarva. Irvin knew early in his life that being a cowboy was what he wanted to aspire to. Not having any horses to ride, Irvin and Doug broke a couple of calves to ride. Then, their neighbor, Rob Flournoy, gave the brothers a horse and started Irvin on his way to becoming a Horse Breaker. He would break horses for most of the ranches in the South Fork Valley and Jess Valley. Irvin's passion for work teams, whether feeding cows in the winter or putting up loose hay in the summer, stayed with him all his life. He would often say that the tractor was the worst thing to come to the South Fork Valley, eliminating the need for beloved work horses. Irvin would travel down a lot of different roads during his time; in the early years, working on almost every ranch in the South Fork and Jess Valley. He enjoyed competing in rodeos, saddle broncs being his favorite event. He was also a very good and fast team roper. He was a member of the Likely Roping Club. Irvin was awarded the All-Around saddle at the Likely Rodeo in 1957. Irvin competed in rodeos for quite a few years. Traveling down different roads later in his life, he would become a logger, a truck driver and a buckaroo, just to name a few. Whatever the task at hand may have been, he always gave 100 percent and put a great deal of pride into his work. The road he traveled down the farthest and one which was probably the bumpiest, was being a father. And being a father was what he did best. Irvin enjoyed telling his children, grandkids and friends stories of the good old days; When the work teams were used to feed and hay with; When you heard names like Pistol, Deep Canyon and Indian Special at the Likely Rodeo. There was a special place in his heart for his granddaughter Willow, now age 16. Her achievements in the 4-H Livestock show ring filled his heart with pride. His children would often kid him about being the oldest 4-H member still attending 4-H events. Irvin will be missed very much. He was preceded in death by his parents Robert McGarva and Mary McMullen; brother Doug McGarva; sister Janice (McGarva) Tarp; sons William Robert, Quirt Jerome and Casey Eugene. He is survived by his children Ernie McGarva, Likely, Calif., Ervalee McGarva, Medford, Ore., Geraldine McGarva, Oravada, Nev., Milton "Yogi" McGarva, Likely, Calif., Russ McGarva, Reno, Nev., Dewey McGarva and daughter-in-law Marci, Likely, Calif.; brothers John McMullen, Lovelock, Nev., Kenny McMullen and sister-in-law Judy, Reno, Nev.; grandchildren, Willow McGarva, Greely Bautista and Aurelia Bautista, Oravada, Nev., Ricky McGarva and Joey, Likely, Calif., Sterling and Jordan McGarva, Battle Mountain, Nev., Sammie McGarva, Klamath Falls, Ore., Hezzie McGarva, Tuscarora, Nev., Canika McGarva, Elko, Nev., Trish Trinyion, Medford, Ore., Charlie McGarva, Ariz.; cousins Velma McCrary, Canby, Calif., Kenneth McGarva and Duane McGarva, Likely, Calif. Funeral Services were held at the Likely Fire Hall on Saturday, November 28. Bill Flournoy did the officiating. John Flournoy and Patricia Cantrall sang. Irvin's last ride was behind a team of Belgian work horses. Two kind and gentle giants carrying a kind and gentle giant of a man home. I will miss you and loved you with will all my heart. -- By Milton "Yogi" McGarva.

Greetings, For those who have participated in reading my previous posts regarding California cemeteries and the problems we have had, you may not have noticed that the California Saving Graves website is hosted by US GenNet which is a totally FREE and AD FREE provider. US GenNet is in need of funds to help it continue to provide totally FREE genealogy website services. They are asking for help to fund them in the coming year. I am pledging to send them $200 in February (after I receive my annual gift income). I would like to ask anyone who would like to contribute to this most worthy project/cause to donate whatever amount you might be able to contribute. Every $5 or $10 donation multiplies by the numbers of people donating. "Every little bit helps." And it's TAX DEDUCTIBLE! If you would like to contribute, here is the address: Treasurer: Rhoda Fone 999 Bridgeport Way Rio Vista, California 94571 [Please make checks payable to USGenNet] Thanks so much for your support.
