Re: Your comment, "Funny, I always thought Cucamonga was a made-up word. I learned something!" I am as interested in the history of words as I am in the history of people. Your comment sent me looking for the translation of Cucamonga. I initially presumed it to be Spanish, but I could not find a translation for it. Here is what I found on the City of Rancho Cucamonga website: The Native American cultures of southern California had stabilized some three thousand years ago, thriving until almost eliminated by European invasion. Over twenty linguistic families with close to one hundred thirty-five different languages characterized this culture. By about 1200 A.D. the Kucamongan Native Americans established a village-like clustering around the land mass we know as Red Hill. The Kucamongan people were part of the Gabrielino culture, and anthropologists believe that, at their peak, the Gabrielinos existed as one of the largest concentrations of indigenous peoples on the North American continent.

She shows Esten as the son of Esten Stuart and Fannie Maud Lane (20 Aug 1874 - 4 Dec 1946). Fannie is the daughter of John Lane and Susannah Josephine Caswell. It looks like Mrs. Ely is the great-granddaughter of Fannie Maud Lane by her second husband, Ernest Raymond Pratt. Here is her address: RITA-LOUISE ELY 105 WASHINGTON ST.
