Thanks for the heads up Pam. Is anyone else finding that there are pages missing? I am looking for McLERIE in the 1905-1929 section but see that the entire page that would have those deaths was skipped. This ancestor is destined to elude me, I'm afraid. Otherwise, I know how I'm going to spend a few hours today!!! Jeanne K.

The Contra Costa Gazette Martinez, Contra Costa County, California Saturday, 19 SEPTEMBER 1874 *********************************************** BORN - KELLEY - Near Martinez, Sept. 11th, to Mr.&Mrs. James KELLEY, a son. MARRIED - PEERS-MARKEY - At the residence of the bride's mother, near Pacheco, Sept. 15th, by Rev. A. MARTIN; Mr. Claus PEERS of Antioch, and Miss Anna Amelia MARKEY. THE IGNACIO VALLEY SULPHUR SPRINGS - The virtues of the sulphur spring water near the residence of Ygnacio SIBERIAN, in Ygnacio Valley, about 2 miles from Walnut Creek, have long been held in high esteem among the native population and many of the older residents of the county. Dr. ROWAN, who has leased the spring and recently erected a boarding house and bath houses there for the accommodation of the invalids and others, informs us that an analysis of the waters show them to be identical with those famous Bareges Springs of the Pyrenees mountains, in Spain, which have long been the resort of European invalids for the cure of certain classes of disease. Dr. ROWAN does not propose inducements for visitors afflicted with complaints which the waters are not calculated to remove, but will be glad to have them tried by those suffering with the classes of complaints specified in his notice, which will be found in the advertising columns of this issue. ALHAMBRA GRANGE - The Alhambra Grange, of the Patrons of Husbandry, was instituted at this place on Saturday last, by R.G. DEAN, county representative of the State Grange. The new Grange will hold its meetings on Saturday of each week. The officers are: Master, Dr. John STRENTZEL Secretary, Wm. FRAZER Overseer, Henry RAAP Lecturer, Benj. R. HOLLIDAY Chaplain, James McHARRY Treasurer, James C. McHARRY Steward, Elam BARBER Assistant Steward, Lawrence SMITH Lady Assistant, Miss Mary HOLLIDAY Gate Keeper, James STEWART Ceres, Mrs. Alexander BOSS Pomona, Mrs. Henry RAAP Flora, Miss Louisa W. STRENTZEL RESCUED FROM BURNING - A little daughter of Mr. HAMBLIN, of Pacheco, while attempting to kindle a fire in the stove a few days since set fire to her clothing and would probably have been burned to death, had not the mother, though she sprang from a sick bed to do it, promptly enveloped her in a quilt and extinguished the flames. The child was quite severely, though not dangerously, burned, as we hear, and the mother also was somewhat burned in her successful effort to save the child.

SWAIN, who has been on a visit of 6 months or more to Eastern friends, arrived back on the overland train last Tuesday in excellent health and spirits, having greatly enjoyed her visit. It would seem something of a fatiguing undertaking for a lady verging upon, if not past the bound of 3-score and 10 years, to cross the continent twice within a few months, but Mrs. SWAIN's experience does not seem to have proved it so.

["She died as she lived, a devoted Christian."] SCARLET FEVER - The scarlet fever seems to be epidemic in the upper portion of San Ramon Valley to such extent as to cause the temporary closing of the schools in the San Ramon and Amador Districts. The children of quite a number of families have been, or are at present, suffering with the disease, and we have heard 2 cases terminating fatally, one in the family of Mr. LYNCH, and another in the family of Mr. FORTUNE. ----------------------------------------------- KILLED in the QUARRY - Bartolemo ZOLMORIND, one of the men employed at TUCKER's stone quarry in this place, getting out rock for the Branch Insane Asylum building at Napa, was instantly killed in the quarry last Saturday evening about half-past 5 o'clock.

The deceased had been standing upon a large rock resting on a shelving ledge some 10 or 15 feet above the floor of the quarry cut, engaged in prying off a severed portion of the rock. As the severed portion fell, the rock on which he was standing, weighing several tons, began to slide down the ledge, and he jumped to the quarry floor, but fell so that his head lay where it was caught and completely crushed between the descending and another large rock. The deceased was a native of one of the southern Cantons of Switzerland, and had been for some time a resident of Napa county. ------------------------------------------------------- BUILDING - Mr. A.E.

The Contra Costa Gazette Martinez, Contra Costa County, California Saturday, 29 AUGUST 1874 ************************************************* DIED - REINHART - In Clayton, Aug. 24, Estella, daughter of James and Adelia REINHART, aged 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks. [She has gone to bloom in Heaven.] ----------------------------------------------- HOMICIDE at SAN PABLO - A native California half-breed named Ramon CHAVIS, was shot by Constable John WILCOX, at San Pablo last Sunday night about 11 o'clock, and died without having spoken, about 8 o'clock the following morning. Coroner HILLER was summoned by telegraph to hold an inquest on the body, and the jury found a verdict of justifiable homicide. From the testimony given at the inquest it appears that the deceased had been at the house of WILCOX, drinking and quarreling during the evening, and WILCOX had several times been obliged to intervene to stop fights in which he had engaged. Before the fatal shooting WILCOX had retired to bed, but was called up by some one who said that deceased and some one else were killing somebody. WILCOX got up, partially dressed himself hastily, took his pistol and went out, to find the deceased and another partially drunken man charging their horses and riding over a man they had thrown down in the road, who is a half demented or insane person residing in the place. WILCOX commanded them to desist, when CHAVIS rode off a few yards, wheeled his horse and charged on him. When within a few feet WILCOX fired, and CHAVIS fell with a shot under the eye socket. There seems to have been no one present competent to make any statement of what transpired except WILCOX himself, and his statement s o acc ords with the probabilities of the occurrence that the jury found the shooting justified. ---------------------------------------- PROBATE COURT - -In the matter of the estate of Vincenzo BRUGHELLI.

These poor kids! 1 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ms Betty Fredericks" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 3, 2012 5:01:24 AM Subject: [NORCAL] Orphans, Half-Orphans, and Victorian Era Hello, I have story about my grandmother in MA, which might be slightly off-topic.   But, the discussions on the Digest this morning are about whether orphans were really orphans, or did they have a parent living.     I can make 2 comments, actually. My grandmother was born in MA (?) in 1889, and was adopted by an older couple in 1892.    She had just turned 3, and they changed her name, and then told her many lies about who her birth-parents were.   Unfortunately, Mrs. DEXTER died in 1899.    Perhaps she had been ill, because Mr. DEXTER sold their home and went to a boarding house in Downtown Boston.   And he placed his adopted daughter, then 10, in the "Boston Female Orphans Asylum."   He was near her until he got sick in 1904 and went to the Tewksbury State Hospital where he died a year later.    Maybe when she was 13 (1902?),  she went to live at "The Temporary Home for Women and Children,"  also in Downtown Boston.    She apparently remained there until she was 19. He girlfriend at The Temporary Home had a living father.    When she turned 18 or 19,  her father asked her to come live in his apartment.    He liked my grandmother, so she was invited to come live there, also.    That is when my grandmother met  "the boy next door."   ...    When I asked about this situation many years ago,  I was told that in certain time periods,  fathers were not allowed to be a parent for their own daughter - if there was no female adult in the home.     The  "Victorian Era"  was most of the 1800's, up to 1900,  and that is probably when that law was in place.        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_era  However, a similar situation happened around 1970 in NYC.     My "EX" had lost his mother unexpectedly,  and he had 3 young siblings still at home.   They had an estranged, non-participating father.    When it was time for the Courts to get involved,  the Courts decided that the boys, 16 and 15, could remain living in their tenement apartment - with no adult.    But the girl, 14, could not live there.    When I found out she was about to become a Ward of the State in NYC,  I insisted she come up to Lowell, MA, to live with us.     (She arrived on her 15th birthday and was pregnant 6 mos. later.    Unbeknownst to me at the time, she had become a "street girl" at a very young age.)   :o( (to be continued) Betty            (near Lowell, MA) (My grandmother's story is long and complicated,  and I've mentioned it on the MA and CT Lists many times.      I don't have the wherewithal to write a book about her life.     But, I'd love to find a book author who would consider writing possibly an "historical novel" about her.    She lived in Downtown Boston from 1899 to 1910, so the history of Boston ~1900 would be written about.    Including the Victorian Era goings-on.) ----------------------------------------- NORCAL ARCHIVES: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ Enter NORCAL.  Browse by month.
