Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Friday, 26 JUNE 1896 ************************** BIRTH -- ALVISO -- In Hanford, June 22, to the wife of Joe ALVISO, a son. DEATH -- MALONE -- Near Dudley, Kings county, Cal., on Wednesday afternoon, June 24th, Mrs. J.W. MALONE. [Deceased has been suffering from lung trouble for a long time and although her death came suddenly, it was not unexpected by her relatives and many friends. The remains were brought to Hanford yesterday. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church at 3 p.m., A.G. PARK officiating, and the remains were interred in the Hanford cemetery. There has been a great deal of sickness in this family for several years and the remaining members of the family have the heart-felt sympathy of the community in this, their most recent and worst affliction.] [from Local Paragraphs column] -- On Tuesday morning Ledford, the 5-year-old son of W.R. NICHOLS, who lives near Orosi, received burns that resulted in his death at 11 o'clock in the evening. The little fellow was playing with some matches in the house, and they were ignited. The flames communicated to the little lad's clothing, and before help could be rendered, he was literally cooked. The house was set on fire and it was with great difficulty that the flames were subdued. The little fellow suffered great agony until the Angel of Death ended his bodily pain. - Visalia 'Delta' ------------------------------------------------------ AN ENJOYABLE EVENING SOCIAL -- There was a happy gathering of young people of Hanford at the handsome residence of Mr.&Mrs. John WYRUCK, just south of this city, last Wednesday evening. Novel and interesting games were played and social converse indulged in till midnight, when a delicious lunch was served. This was followed by vocal and instrumental music. The following named were present: Misses Edith LORD Wilsie LANDIS Clara VINEY Bell WYRUCK Fannie CHADWICK Anna DOPKINS Carrie WYRUCK Ada NEWPORT Leesie BYRD Berdella DOPKINS Gussie NEWPORT Messrs: F. HICKMAN M.A. HORNBEAK W. BYRD F. ROSS E. AYERS N.H. LEGGITT W. MATHEWSON T. SUTHERLAND Levoy LANDIS O. McQUIDDY Ray CLARY ----------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Mrs. McGUIRE and Julia O'CONNOR have gone up into the Sierras, for the benefit of the latter's health, which has been very poor for some time. Milt ENGLISH took them on from Visalia in a carriage. -Mrs. A.R. ORR and 2 son, Clarence & Walter, have been down to Stockton attending the graduation exercises of the Stockton High School. Miss Lola CROW, daughter of Mrs. ORR, was one of the graduates. -John CHADDOCK and wife go to San Francisco today, where Mr. CHADDOCK will have charge of the S.F. office of the Home Packing Co.

DICKINSON of Armona left on Monday evening last for Philadelphia, where he goes to take charge of a vessel plying between this country and Japan. His salary, we are informed, will be $20,000 per annum. The Captain came to Armona 2 years ago, intending to abandon a sea-faring life forever, but he could not resist the temptation of returning to his former perilous vocation. Mrs. DICKINSON accompanied him. The couple have many friends here, and relatives, who wish them a prosperous voyage and hope to have them return later, satisfied to remain here for good.

I looked through the Norcal archives last night, but found no reference to any of my early California ancestors-either direct or collateral. a check of available data at California USGW sites shows 1870 to be the earliest era for newspapers in Monterey Co. and no mention of immigration records. the San Pedro newspaper only goes back to 1906, earlier newspaper that covers the whole basin-one would presume the L.A. Times is the oldest, but it only goes back to 1881. there are the Mariposa Gazette and the Merced Herald, as well as the Weekly Merced Herald, all with 1865-1867 start dates that might comment on my Wyruck, Peyton or Collins ancestors. does anyone have access to those newspapers who might do a look-up for me? or does anyone have access to Thomas Hilks Merced Herald and San Joaquin Valley Argus books who could at least check the index for me for Wyruck, Collins and Peyton? I've bought too many books in hopes of ancestors being there only to be disappointed, I can no longer afford to take chances on a book without first checking the index. many thanks in advance.

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Friday, 19 JUNE 1896 *************************** MAJ. LANDIS' DEATH -- History of the Life of the Father of Mrs. J.D. BIDDLE and Mr. S.L. LANDIS -- The following was taken from the Nashville (Tenn.) 'American' of June 10th 1896. Major A.L. LANDIS died yesterday evening at 6 o'clock at the home of his son, Mr. Lulan LANDIS, West Nashville. He had only been ill since Wednesday night a week ago, and to many of his warmest and closest friends the news of his death will come as a surprise fraught with the deepest pain. Major LANDIS was in his 73d year and he was one of the best known men in Nashville. For 10 or 12 years he has been identified with the busiest and best interests of the city and has earned the admiration of men for unusual business judgment and superior understanding, and their respect for the dignity and fairness which marked all his dealings. Few men live to the age reached by Maj. LANDIS and retain up to the end his vigor of mind and body. He was known as one of the "youngest men of his age" in business circles. This alone will express it. No matter what the state of his business affairs, whether the interests in which he was involved prospered or waned, whether the sun shone or the skies were overcast, Maj. LANDIS had a cheery smile and a warm handshake and kindly word for all. He was an old-time, self-made man. He was born and raised on a farm in Bedford County and at the age of 19 began teaching school. He continued to teach for about 5 years, when he entered upon a mercantile career at Rowesville, a little place near Shelbyville. About this time he took an active part in building the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad through that part of the country. He was elected a director in the company and was later chosen Superintendent of the Northwestern Division of the road, a position to which he brought rare executive ability. Subsequently he engaged in the pork-packing business at Shelbyville as a member of the firm of Barrett, Landis & Co., and at the same time was proprietor of the Sylvan Cotton Mills. He also owned a fine farm near Shelbyville and gave part of his time and attention to its management. Along about 1878 and 1880, he represented Bedford and Rutherford Counties in the State Senate, and for one or 2 terms thereafter. His alertness to the interests of his constituents and his liberal views won for him a large share of popularity and prominence in this section of the State. When the war broke out he went to the front as a Confederate soldier in the 17th Tennessee regiment. He was quartermaster in Pat CLEBURNE's division and served with distinction in several of the hottest battles of the 4-years' struggle. The deceased was most of all noted through life for his patriotism and public spirit. He located permanently in Nashville in 1886, engaging in the brokerage and banking business with his sons. The firm thus formed has since been one of the best known and most reliable in the South. Maj. LANDIS was a sincere Christian man, having been from early manhood a member of the Lutheran church. He possessed all the qualities that make the best citizenship and he was a well-rounded man. He had a big heart and was a liberal contributor to charity and public enterprise. His life was a busy one up to the end. He was the kind and provident head of a large family and he leaves a wife and 8 children, 5 sons & 3 daughters. The immediate cause of Maj. LANDIS' death was congestion of the liver. He was taken sick Wednesday night, a week ago, and the closest and most skillful medical attention was brought to near upon his malady. But the days of his illness marked a constant loss, although at times he would rally for a short time. Yesterday at noon he began sinking rapidly and death intervened at 6 o'clock. Prayers will be said at the residence tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock and at 9:15 o'clock the remains will be shipped to Shafner's church for interment near his boyhood's home. ------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Eva EVANS was granted a divorce Monday from James W. EVANS on the ground of desertion. They were married in 1893, while Eva was preparing for her stage career. EVANS deserted her to enter the United States army. -Frank MARKEL, who was impaled on a pitchfork, rode 60 miles over rough roads, and lay 4 days with 8 inches of steel fork-tine in his body, is on the road to recovery. His physician says he will be entirely well within a month. ------------------------------------------------------- TRAVER TIDINGS -- -Miss Margaret KENNEDY is visiting her sister, Mrs. A.W. CLARK. Mr. KENNEDY, wife and children have gone to Santa Cruz for the summer. -S. WOLFF has resigned the office of school trustee, both of the public and high schools. Mr. WOLFF has devoted much time in the interest of our schools, having served about 4 years. Transcribed by Dee Sardoch To see more old newspapers, visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/

Was reading an interesting article about travels. Thought it might interest you folks. 1890, the population was then about 8,000 persons in the Eureka area. The distants to San Francisco by steamer was about 221 miles (Coast sea travel), and the trip took about 20 hours, the fare for 1st. class was $10.00; 2nd class, $5.00....the overland STAGE was 180 miles to Ukiah. The San Francisco & Northern Pacific Railroad was 113, totaling 293 miles, and took 36 hours, for a fare of $16.50. About all I can say is that travel was an expense then as it is now, but by air gets you there faster, if you don't have to double back on your route. ~Linda~ Willow Creek, CA.

I have Peytons who came by the southern route, coming by wagon train from Denton Co., TX to San Pedro, CA and Collins who came by ship first to Avala bay and then up the Sacramento to Tulare Co. I have Wyrucks who came by wagon train or horseback from Missouri, so I assume they took the northern route. as far as I could find while I was in California, the only mention I could find of any of their migration was a cursory mention in "Early Days at Mission San Juan Batista", which talks about the trip Francis Lee Collins made but doesn't mention his name. I wonder if early newspapers (1851, 1854 and 1866, respectively, all give or take a year) might at least mention their arrivals. of Francis Lee Collins my grandmother writes; ....They made their way from the Port of New Orleans to the Isthmus of Panama, going overland to the Pacific. There they took passage on a freighter bound for San Francisco. Unknown to the passengers the ship had been condemned as being unseaworthy and they learned later to their sorrow that the Captain was not a licensed navigator. They soon ran into bad weather and the ship was badly damaged. The Captain lost his direction and for seventy-two days they drifted on the Pacific Ocean, lost and no help in sight. They ran out of food and many were ill, especially the children, and some of them died from diarrhea. The need was so great for food and the feelings were running so high against the Captain, that if it came to the worst, he would be the first one to go. A tramp steamer, noting their flag of distress came to their rescue, and did what they could to relieve their distress. They towed them to Avala Bay, which is now known as Morro Bay. (Morro bay no longer exists, if I recall, filled in with silt washed down from the river) When the ship landed and the condition of the passenger's was known to this little Spanish settlement, a kindly priest took charge of the passengers and with good food and medicine, they were able to go on their way to new homes and friends. Among the passengers were Dr. Matthews, his wife and their two little girls. This family formed a warm affection for Grandfather; he was like an older brother to the little girls and he must have taken the place of a son to the doctor and his wife; so when they decided to go to San Juan, a Fort near the present city of Hollister, they invited him to go with them. Dr. Matthews practiced medicine in this area for many years and was known throughout the area as the "Good Doctor". the migration of the children of Jonathan Peyton and Elizabeth Higgins is not well known, but it is said that my great, great grandmother, Mary Jane, came to San Pedro by wagon train. how she managed from there to Tulare Co. isn't said, but since San Pedro is a port city, I assume she took a ship up the coast. of Francis John Wyruck's migration little is known. he was a Jayhawker in Missouri who removed to Kansas for a few years, then went on to California, settling first in Stanislaus Co., and then in Kings Co.. he was still there when Tulare Co. was made from part of Kings.

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 16 JUNE 1896 **************************** BIRTH -- SANBORN -- At Armona, June 13, 1896, to the wife of Leavitt SANBORN, a daughter. MARRIAGE -- BITTENCOURT-LUIS -- At the Catholic parsonage, Hanford, June 15, 1896, Rev. Father BRADY officiating; Antonio BITTENCOURT and Marianna LUIS. MARRIAGE -- BENAS-LANZET -- At Franklin Hall, S.F., June 7, 1896, by Rev. A.N. LEVI; Marks BENAS and Miss Lena LANZET. DEATH -- WILTSE -- In Los Angeles, May 22d, 1896, little Floyd, (youngest child of Mr.&Mrs. Chas. WILTSE, formerly of Armona) aged 3 years, 10 days. -------------------------------------------------------- A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT -- Frank MARKLE of Fresno county met with a terrible and probably fatal accident on Monday of last week. While on a load of hay the fork dropped from his hand to the ground and fell with the prongs up. Mr. MARKLE lost his balance and fell headlong onto the 4-tined fork and was impaled by it. 1 prong entered his breast and ranging down through his stomach, broke off in the upper part and front of his leg. Another tine entered his breast and the other tines inflicted more or less injury. The brother of the wounded man (Marion MARKLE of Hanford) who was near by, was sent for and soon reached his brother. Frank said he knew he was going to die, but he wanted the tine of the pitchfork removed. The injured man was taken to Madera, where the doctor said there was no tine in him and that Frank would be all right again. The wounded man and his family were not satisfied with this statement and Frank was taken to Selma and thence to Fresno, where on Thursday 6 doctors were engaged in a sur gical operation. The breast was cut open and also the stomach and a piece of the tine of the pitchfork 8 inches long was taken from Frank's body. There seems to be little hope of his recovery. Marion was in Hanford Saturday and Sunday returned to Fresno to attend his brother. -------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Mrs. VAN VLEAR will again teach Rustic school next term. -Mrs. Stella AXTELL left for Delano last night where she went to visit her cousin. -Mrs. Louisa SHOUSE was yesterday granted a divorce from Leonard SHOUSE. She was given custody of their 2 minor children. -Miss Jennie GORDON has been engaged to teach the Dallas school next term. She is a sister of Mrs. McCORD (nee GORDON) who taught the school the last 3 terms. -Arch LOVELACE departed Sunday evening for Los Angeles, where he will stay a short time and then go to his former home in the East for the summer. -Mrs. BEESON and son, Eddie BEESON, went to Bakersfield Saturday evening, where they will spend a few days and then go to Los Angeles for the summer months. Mrs. BEESON will be very much missed in social circles as well as among our musical people. -George WEEMS, a brother of Prof. H.L. WEEMS of Armona, is staying in town this week to take the examination for teachers certificates here. George taught in Fresno county last year, but will try for a certificate here. JIM HICKS is looking for somebody with a meal ticket to divide up, and if he goes to feeling around your pockets put your hand on your meal ticket if you have one, for Jim and his wife have separated and he is desperate on the eating question. Jim isn't going to apply for a divorce yet as Mrs. HICKS only went as far as Delano and because she didn't leave the State he has hopes that she will some day return to him. ------------------------------------------------------- GRANGEVILLE -- -Miss Mollie DAVIS is very sick with inflammatory rheumatism. -Freddy NEWPORT has traded 2 of his pretty Shetland ponies to Mr. KIRSCHBRAUN for a new Tribune bicycle. LEMOORE LOCALS -- [Lemoore 'Leader' June 13th] -Mrs. John BENTON, who was so unfortunate as to be thrown from a cart last week, is slowly recovering from her injuries. -On Friday last, for the 1st time in 19 months, Mrs. BROUHARD, residing near Stringtown, was able to leave her bed and set at the dinner table with her family. Mrs. BROUHARD had been confined to her bed for 19 months on account of spinal troubles, and the occasion was a joyous one of herself and family.
