What ever happened to the big relief map of the whole State of California that used to be upstairs in the Ferry Building? A google search turns up this clipping from Dec 1987. What has happened since? I remember going several times with my folks to see the big display. Pity if it isn't preserved somewhere. All I can find by Googling is this: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1948&dat=19871217&id=kUcjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=k8wFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1061,5383776 Be sure to catch the whole link. R. Walker

It was the first 35mm film ever. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car The amount of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing!

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 3 MARCH 1896 *********************************** BIRTH -- MICKLE -- In Hanford, Cal., Friday, Feb. 28, 1896, to the wife of John T. MICKLE, a son -- weight 11 1/2 pounds. [from Grangeville column] -- Born, to the wife of Chess NOWLAN, Wednesday, Feb. 26th, 1896, a son. Mother and child are well. [from Grangeville column] -- Word was received here this week that Mrs. GAYLORD (nee GALBRAITH) had presented her husband with a 14 lb. son, some 2 weeks ago. Henry will soon have a blacksmith's helper of his own. MARRIAGE -- BLOYD-ASBURY -- On Wednesday evening, Feb. 19, 1896, at the residence of A.E. McCLANAHAN, near Traver, by Rev. CHILDERS; Leander BLOYD and Mrs. Sarah ASBURY. DEATH -- HANSEN -- On Sunday, Feb. 23, youngest son of Mr.&Mrs. John HANSEN, aged 2 years. The funeral was held at 2 p.m. Monday, A.G. PARK officiating. Burial took place in the Hanford cemetery. ------------------------------------------------------ A JURY ACQUITS WILLIAM NELLIS OF THE CHARGE OF ARSON -- When the 'Journal' went to press last Tuesday the case of William NELLIS, charged with arson, was then on trial. The prosecution was represented by District Attorney SHORT, assisted by T.W. LOCKHART, while Rowen IRWIN, assisted by Rufus ABBOTT, were counsel for defendant. The theory of the prosecution was that the defendant NELLIS had hired HOOD to burn his house in order that he (NELLIS) might collect the insurance on his household goods. The theory of the defense was that HOOD and JOHNSON set fire to NELLIS' house and stole the household effects out of it, without NELLIS being aware of the theft, and when they were detected by the officers they laid the crime onto NELLIS to shield themselves. LEE had it in for NELLIS because he would not testify in his behalf at LEE's trial for stealing CURRY's alfalfa seed and all the "gang" were standing in to cinch NELLIS. HOOD testified to the effect that he was employed to work for NELLIS while the latter went camping last July, and he and John JOHNSON (now in Folsom) were to burn the house so that NELLIS could get the insurance on his household effects. HOOD and JOHNSON removed the furniture on the night of July 20th, most of it being taken to WORKS' house, east of Dinuba, and some to John JOHNSON's. JOHNSON was to have the furniture for his work and NELLIS was to settle with HOOD for his part in the affair. On the night of July 21st HOOD and JOHNSON burned the house. NELLIS told witness to get an old piano, sewing machine, etc., to replace those in the house, and take NELLIS' piano, etc., away, but they were unable to secure an old piano, so they burned NELLIS'. NELLIS instructed him on his (NELLIS') return from his camping trip, on July 23 or 24, to go to Bush & Hight, the agents who made out his insurance papers, and tell them of the fire and that it occurred by the explosion of a lamp or by f ire from the stove. HOOD further testified that in August he and NELLIS went to WORKS' place and took therefrom 2 boxes of goods, consisting of dresses, books and family portraits, brought them to Traver and NELLIS shipped them to Los Angeles, addressed to W.S. CHAUVERT. The testimony of James LEE (who is now in Folsom for stealing George CURRY's alfalfa seed) as given at the preliminary examination of NELLIS, was then read. It was to the effect that NELLIS had told him long before the fire occurred that he had hired HOOD to burn his house and NELLIS told him after the fire that HOOD set it afire. A.J. WORKS testified that NELLIS and HOOD came to his place and got a lot of dress goods, pictures, etc., that had been saved from the fire and brought there. NELLIS told him that what furniture was there belonged to HOOD and NELLIS saw all the household effects that was there. Mrs. A.J. WORKS corroborated her husband's testimony. Charles JOHNSON (brother of John JOHNSON, now under sentence at Folsom) testified that when the officers got track of the goods at WORKS, NELLIS spoke to him and said it would not do for the officers to find the goods there, and NELLIS hired a team and promised him (JOHNSON) $10, which was afterwards paid by Lee DANNER, to go to WORKS' and warn them that the officers were coming to look for the goods. He went, but met A.J. WORKS between Dinuba and Traver and WORKS told him the officers had already been to his house and found the goods and furniture. This ended the evidence for the prosecution and witnesses for the defendant were then examined. The defendant, William NELLIS, was the 1st to testify in his own behalf. He denied in toto all the alleged conversations testified to by the witnesses for the prosecution as to the fire. He admitted shipping 2 boxes of goods from Traver at the time stated by the prosecution's witnesses, but explained that the goods belonged to CHAUVERT, and consisted of quilts, bedding and green fruit, which he had borrowed from CHAUVERT when he (NELLIS) came to this county about a year before the fire. W.S. CHAUVERT was the next witness. His testimony corroborated that of the defendant, NELLIS, fully, in regard to the shipment of the 2 boxes of goods to him and he swore positively that there were no dresses, books or pictures in the boxes. He is the head man in a large wholesale and retain establishment in Los Angeles and has held that position for 4 years past. Testimony for the defense closed with a number of witnesses to show the previous good character of the defendant. Arguments then began. District Attorney SHORT opened for the people, and was followed by Rufus ABBOTT. Rowen IRWIN made the closing argument for the defense and T.W. LOCKHART closed for the prosecution. After receiving instructions from the Court, the jury retired and almost at once began to ballot. The 1st ballot stood 11 for acquittal and 1 blank, the 2nd ballot resulted in a unanimous verdict of acquittal. In about half an hour after they retired to deliberate the jury handed in its verdict to the Court and was discharged at 3:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The case was stubbornly fought throughout, on both sides. The fact that all the witnesses for the prosecution had been more or less involved in the crime, if arson was committed, had great weight with the jury and no doubt largely influenced them to make a decision in favor of the defendant. ------------------------------------------------------- THE 40 THIEVES -- Ben BARLOW Tells Still More About Them -- MIDDLETON Awaits His Trial -- Joe MIDDLETON, one of the "40 thieves" was held to answer in the Justice court of Selma recently for committing highway robbery, in having assisted in holding up a Portuguese at a sheep camp near Wildflower last June. His bonds were fixed at $3000 and he now awaits trial in the Superior Court of Fresno county. MIDDLETON is at last getting his desserts, although he escaped punishment for innumerable crimes for many years. Ben BARLOW testified against him, and he testified substantially as follows, as published in the 'Irrigator:' "He (BARLOW) was a member of the gang of 40 thieves, that on June 19th, he and others had gone to the sheep camp near Wildflower, and with pistols held at the heads of the Portuguese had made them deliver up their valuables; that the defendant, Joe MIDDLETON, was also a member of the gang and of the party, and that he, the witness, had had several little adventures with members of the gang where other people's property had been taken. The witness gave a very interesting story of the doings of the gang and connected MIDDLETON directly with them. The robbers had 3 rendezvous, 1 in the mountains, of which Joe MIDDLETON had charge, 1 in Kings county and another in Tulare county. ------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -There will be a rabbit drive on Sunday, March 8th, at Dick MIDDLETON's, known as the Delano ranch, 3 miles south of Lemoore.

Someone should stop me from emailing with allergies. I messed up Thomas Henry Kerrigan's name in the previous email, at least once. Thomas Kerrigan's father and the son's names were William. Thomas was Thomas Henry Kerrigan, according to several sources. Thank you for your patience, hopefully I can send this before I sneeze again EdrieAnne

This is another guy in the group I'm chasing. This family at least registered to vote. Thomas H. Kerrigan was born in Pennsylvania and married Sophie Jansen, one of the children of the Fruitland Dutch Colony. I'm suspecting that when the Jansen mother died all of the younger children were placed in orphanages. I'm tracking them backwards from their father's obit. Sophie ended up in Sacramento married to Thomas Henry Kerrigan. He was a telegraph operator. He was considerably older than Sophie, born I think in 1876 or 1877. He changed his birth year often. He's registered to vote with Sophie until 1936, so I suspect he died about then. Could someone check that date for me?

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 25 FEBRUARY 1896 ************************************* BIRTH -- BARBER -- In Hanford, Feb. 18, 1896, to the wife of D.D. BARBER, a daughter. BIRTH -- McLAUGHLIN -- In Lemoore, Feb. 18, 1896, to the wife of Stiles McLAUGHLIN, a daughter. DEATH -- ELLIS -- At the residence of her father, H.C. FALLIN, in Hanford, Feb. 28 [probable typo, since issue date is 25 Feb.], 1896, Mrs. Alice Mabel ELLIS, aged 24 years, 6 months, 7 days. [The funeral took place from the Episcopal church this forenoon, at 10 o'clock and many friends of the deceased were in attendance. There were both lady and gentlemen pall bearers, the ladies dressed in pure white. After the services at the church the remains were laid to rest in the Hanford cemetery. Deceased leaves 2 small children and other relatives and many friends to mourn her sad loss.] [from Local Paragraphs column] -- Miss Marcia FARNHAM, aged 20 years, niece of J.H. DOPKINS, died last Tuesday at her home in Woodland as the result of a lamp falling on her and causing burns which proved fatal. The young lady visited here last year and made many friends. Her aunt, Mrs. DEWEY, who resides south of this city, went up to Woodland to attend the funeral. ------------------------------------------------------ TOOK POISON -- Sad Ending of Mrs. STARKWEATHER's Life Last Friday -- The Event Cast a Gloom Over the Community -- A Large Concourse of People Show Their Respect for the Deceased -- The sad death of Mrs. Clara B. STARKWEATHER, wife of Reuben E. STARKWEATHER, which occurred about 1:40 o'clock last Friday morning, as a result of a dose of poison administered by her own hand with suicidal intent, cast a feeling of gloom over this community. The poison was taken between 2 & 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and although several neighbors came to assist Mrs. STARKWEATHER (one of them, Mrs. L.J. ROSS, at the request of the deceased) the latter did not make it known that she had taken poison and the fact was not evident until late in the afternoon, when deceased became violently ill. Dr. L.E. FELTON was then called in, but the deadly poison, rough on rats, which had been taken by Mrs. STARKWEATHER, had begun its work which ended fatally. Mr. STARKWEATHER was not at home at the time, being over on the JONES ranch on Tule River, superintending the putting in of a crop of grain. He was telegraphed to, but the dispatch did not reach him until 2 hours after his wife's death. He at once drove to this city as fast as he could drive and reached here on Friday afternoon. Deceased had developed a suicidal mania and she attempted the previous Sunday to commit suicide by the use of laudanum, but she took too much and a physician succeeded in saving her life then. Much sickness combined with family troubles seems to have been the cause of her suicidal mania. On 1 o'clock on Friday afternoon Coroner MOORE and a jury held an inquest over the remains of the deceased. The jury consisted of: G.S. HEWITT D.A. WOODWARD J.P. BOICE J.T. McJUNKIN E.L. HUBBELL M. FUCHS W.A. ARNOLD A. BLIX A.M. ASHLEY J.F. ADAMS George AWALT Samuel SHANNON Dr. L.E. FELTON testified to being called at about 6 p.m. on Thursday to attend deceased. She showed signs of arsenical poisoning and told him she had taken rough on rats. He also saw a box of the poison from which a teaspoonful had been taken. Deceased died about 1:30 a.m. on Friday morning. Mrs. COWLES, of Mendota, mother of deceased, testified as the name of deceased and that she was aged 24 years and a native of Sonora, California. Witness was stopping with her daughter and went out calling on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, returning at 5 o'clock. Deceased complained of feeling feverish. Deceased had made no statement to her or expressed any intention of committing suicide. Mrs. L.J. ROSS, a neighbor, testified to being called to see deceased about 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Deceased was sick and lying on a lounge, but made no statement about having taken poison. Grant STARKWEATHER testified to being informed at 9 p.m. Thursday that his sister-in-law had taken poison, and that he found 2 boxes of rough on rats in her house, from 1 of which a teaspoonful had been taken. About 1 o'clock a.m. Friday he told her he had sent for her husband and she seemed anxious to see him and inquired if a rig had been sent for him. Had heard she had threatened to commit suicide. She had been sick for 4 years. Had been informed that deceased attempted suicide the previous Sunday, and saw a letter she had written wherein she stated that she had taken laudanum, but without the desired effect. The jury returned a verdict that deceased met her death by poison, administered with suicidal intent. The funeral of deceased took place from the family residence at 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. It was very largely attended. The funeral discourse was rendered by A.G. PARKS, and Mrs. J.D. BIDDLE touchingly sang 2 songs. The remains were interred in the Hanford cemetery with the beautiful ritualistic ceremonies of the Eastern Stars, of which deceased was a member. There were many beautiful floral pieces placed on and about the handsome coffin which enclosed the mortal remains of one who was universally loved by her intimate friends and respected by all. ------------------------------------------------------- WEDDING BELLS -- The KURTZ-YELKIN Nuptials -- List of Guests, Presents, Etc. On the 15th instant about 100 people were present by invitation at the residence of Mr.&Mrs. John KURTZ Sr. to witness the marriage ceremony of their son Frank B. KURTZ and Miss Rachael B. YELKIN. The marriage license having been procured in Kings county and the residence of Mr.&Mrs. KURTZ Sr. being situated just over the line in Fresno county, it was decided to have the wedding in the open air on the Kings county side. At 12m. the wedding party started for the county line. First came the best man and bridesmaids, Dr. J.C. MOORE and Miss Mena KURTZ, Charles ENLOW and Miss Ollie TOBIN, Andrew KURTZ and Miss Minnie YELKIN, followed by the prospective bride and groom and nearly 100 relatives and friends. Arriving at the Kings county line the wedding party turned and faced the many friends present. Justice BULLARD then tied the matrimonial knot and the bride and groom received the hearty congratulations of those present, after which all returned to the home of the groom's parents. At 1 o'clock dinner was announced (and right here let us say that it was a dinner). The bridal cake was a beauty, and it seemed a pity to cut it, but like the other good things it melted away before the hungry and jolly crowd which attacked it. After dinner there was music and games and a general good time until late in the afternoon, when the guests bade adieu to the bride and groom and to the genial Mr.&Mrs. KURTZ Sr. and departed for their various homes feeling that they had been royally entertained. NOTES -- Many useful and valuable presents were received, among them being that of G. BAUER, which occasioned much merriment. It consisted of a large box neatly filled with layer after layer of paper, and a 2nd box of smaller dimensions fitted into the larger one, which was equally well filled with paper. But the bride and groom lent a helping hand and their labors were finally rewarded by the appearance of a tiny pair of baby shoes. All of the KURTZ family did their best to make those present feel at home and enjoy themselves. Among those present were: Mr.&Mrs. MARRIOTT, Sr. Mr.&Mrs. H. DAWSON Mr.&Mrs. J.H. ROUTT Mr.&Mrs. John KURTZ Sr. Mr.&Mrs. John KURTZ Jr. Mr.&Mrs. Frank BULLARD Mr.&Mrs. PORTER and family Mr.&Mrs. MARRIOTT Jr. Mr.&Mrs. H.W. BYRON Mr.&Mrs. L.H.

They were, as usual on such occasions, busy early in the day gathering the blossoms to make into pretty designs to carry, with words of comfort and consolation, into the stricken home. Truly their lives in this community for years past has been an inspiration, and many indeed are the ones who have had cause to bless them in the hour of affliction. This world would be better and the problem of "What is true religion" would be solved if there were more such unselfish, true hearted women. -Last Friday was the 25th anniversary of Mr.&Mrs. A.W. LANE's wedding day, and a large number of their friends joined in giving them a surprise.

Does anyone have any experience with obtaining WW1 alien registrations from Alameda county? I would love to get a copy of my ggrandfather's sisters' registration. I don't have her 1920 census, but the 1930 lists her status as "al" so I presume she would have registered. Where/how do I order the record, how much does it cost and what information do I need to provide? Is there an online index? Any help greatly appreciated. Betty
