Hi Betty, I have an ancestor of my hubby's who left Beerback near Noistadt, Mittel Franken, Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany (for the U. S.) "at approx age of 14" (would be approx 1836), "to avoid compulsory conscription". - I've not REALLY investigated what was going on over there at that time - but this link might give you a clue - (Seems there was lots of activity that could prompt our ancestor to leave about 1836 and your ancestor to leave in the late 1840's http://www.localhistories.org/germany.html - Good luck with your research, Ruth -----Original Message----- From: norcal-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:norcal-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Betty Loose Sent: Monday, March 08, 2010 1:19 PM To: norcal@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NORCAL] Ancestry lookup - Geo Vitzthum I believe the 1848 immigration is correct.

Perhaps you need to specify WHERE you want it saved, ie desktop, so you can see it? It could be saving the gedcom in your default download or document file and you just aren't seeing it.

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 12 NOVEMBER 1895 *************************************** BIRTH -- GEROW -- Near Grangeville, Cal., Oct. 30, 1895, to the wife of J.B GEROW, a son. MARRIAGE -- WOLFE-HAYES -- In Hanford, Cal., Sunday, Nov. 10, 1895, A.D. WOLFE, principal of the Traver public school, and Miss Kate HAYES, daughter of Capt. Jacob HAYES of Popular, Tulare county. ------------------------------------------------------ MARRIAGE -- Another Grangeville Wedding -- [Communicated] -- With far less grandeur and ostentation, with no bishop or orchestra, but amidst a perfect bower of flowers and surrounded by dear friends, on the same day that Consuelo VENDERBILT became Duchess of Marlborough, Miss Emma HAAG became Mrs. Edgar WALKER. As the bride's home is in the East, Mr.&Mrs. CHAMBERS, who are warm personal friends of the bride, asked her to come and stay with them until after the wedding, so it was at their home the ceremony was performed. The front parlor was tastefully decorated with palms and huge potted plants, while quantities of English ivy and smilax, with choice roses and chrysanthemums, all helped to make the scene a pretty and animated one. Perhaps the prettiest spot in the room was the bay window where the happy young couple stood. Yellow tints seemed to be the most conspicuous. The blinds were drawn down and the lace curtains drawn back with formed the background. The ends were caught up and tied with streamers of smilax and bunches of Cloth of Gold roses, while overhead were hung lengths of ivy and clematis vine, interlaced with large chrysanthemums, which formed a sort of canopy, and all over the room the eye met with festoons of green and bunches of bright blossoms. The bride, who is a tall, handsome brunette, looked her best in a costume of Armoir cloth, trimmed with point lace and ribbons. She carried a bouquet of Cloth of Gold roses. The maid of honor, Miss VINEY, wore a pretty dress of ash of rose Henrietta cloth, trimmed with Duchess lace and rose buds. The groom and best man, Will HAAG, wore the usual evening dress. Promptly at 9 o'clock the little procession appeared and took their places, the bride and groom standing under the canopy in the bay window, the maid of honor and the best man on their left hand, while the minister, Rev. WALTZ, read the ceremony which made the couple man and wife. After the ceremony the couple received the congratulations of their friends and then sat down to a dainty supper which had been provided, after which they all inspected the many pretty and useful presents. Shortly after 11 o'clock the couple left for Goshen, where they took the train for Fresno. Only the intimate friends, besides the relatives of the bride and groom, were present. Following is the list of presents: From the groom, a beautiful gold watch and chain Father & mother of the groom, pair of blankets William WALKER and wife, pair of pillows Cyrus WALKER, large lamp Hattie and Elinor WALKER, towels and glass sugar set Mr.&Mrs. Lee COATS, set of silver knives and forks Will HAAG, antique oak 8-day clock Miss Mollie HAAG, chenille table cloth and towels Carl HAAG, linen table cloth and napkins Mr.&Mrs. Ed BURRELL, dinner and tea set (China) Sadie VINEY, silver butter knife Mr.&Mrs. C. RAILSBACK, silver sugar spoon Mr.&Mrs. John VAN VLEER, set of table spoons and cups and saucers Elsie FELT, set of 10 spoons Jessie VAN TASSEL, tea pot and house-keeper Mr.&Mrs. John SIGLER, dozen table napkins Mr.&Mrs. Geo. EAILSBACK, glasses and tray Mr.&Mrs. CHAMBERS, counterpane and Marseilles spread On the return of the couple they will occupy the home which Ed has prepared for his bride on his ranch south of Grangeville. ------------------------------------------------------ DEATH -- THOMAS -- At Tulare, Nov. 4, 1895, Laura D. THOMAS, aged nearly 21 years. DEATH -- ELLIS -- Near Visalia, Nov. 5, 1895, Francis Coleman ELLIS, son of Supervisor S.L.N. ELLIS and wife, aged 4 years. DEATH -- LOPEZ -- In Hanford, Cal., Friday, Nov. 8, 1895, Mrs. Ventura LOPEZ, a native of Hanford, Cal., aged 21 years. [The funeral of deceased took place on Saturday and the funeral cortege was one of the largest ever seen in this city. The remains were interred in the Hanford cemetery.] DEATH -- FRENCH -- In Hanford, Cal., Saturday, Nov. 9, 1895, Mrs. Ava E. FRENCH, late wife of J.J. FRENCH, aged 53 years, 7 months, 15 days. [Deceased was born in Tennessee, but was raised in Missouri. She was an old resident of Hanford and leaves many friends here besides a husband. Her 2 sons, J.Q. and James GREER, are both in Texas. For the past 8 months deceased has suffered greatly from cancer of the womb and stomach till death came to her relief and she passed peacefully away. The funeral took place on Sunday, at 2 p.m., Rev. G.W. DONNEL officiating. The remains were interred in the Hanford cemetery.] [from Local Paragraphs column] -- Richard FRENCH, of Visalia, a brother of J.J. FRENCH, and his wife, who have been spending several weeks attending on Mrs. J.J. FRENCH during her fatal illness, returned home yesterday. ---------------------------------------------------- DIED VERY SUDDENLY -- A Kings County Farmer Drops Dead -- The Coroner's Verdict -- D.C. McCARTHY, foreman of the Ballaboola vineyard, belonging to S. HAMMOND, 5 miles south of Hanford, died very suddenly yesterday forenoon, about 9 o'clock. He was driving towards Tulare for a load of week, and when opposite the CHATTEN place, 10 miles west of Tulare, he either got out of his wagon and fell in the road dead, or else he died suddenly in the wagon and fell out. 3 Portuguese were each driving a load of hay behind him and they found him laying in the road. They did not see him fall. The 2 horses deceased was driving were found about 100 yards farther along the road, where they had gone and stopped at a gate leading to the CHATTEN house. The remains of deceased were carried to the side of the road and laid out. Then a Mr. FULGHAM came along and he called Jacob VINEY and Robert BAY, of this vicinity, who were hunting geese nearby. Up to this time the remains had not been identified, but VINEY recognized deceased at once, as he had seen him frequently. He and Mr. FULGHAM found the body to be yet warm, so deceased had not been dead but a short time. The Tulare County Coroner and undertaker LOCEY went out from Visalia and took the remains to that city. There was not a bruise or a scratch on the body. A Coroner's inquest was held yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, but was adjourned and not concluded until 10 o'clock this forenoon, when the verdict rendered was that the deceased came to his death naturally, the cause being paralysis of the stomach. A telephone to the 'Journal' informed us that the body would be brought from Visalia, in charge of undertaker LOCEY, to the home of the deceased today, and that the remains would reach there at 1 o'clock p.m. Deceased was aged about 66 years, a native of Ohio and leaves a widow. ------------------------------------------------------- ESTRAY -- Came to my farm, 5 miles south of Armona, about 5 weeks ago, a bay mare; star on forehead and left hind feet white; 15 hands high; shod all around; small rope on neck. Owner call and get her. Samuel WALKER ------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Ellis FRANCIS started for Los Angeles last Thursday. He expects to make his future home there. -Bud HAWLEY has returned from the Sequoia Mills, where he has been employed for the past 5 months. -N. ABRAMS of the Mechanics' store, his wife and son Sylvan, went to San Francisco last Sunday. -B.F. WHITING will retire soon from the proprietorship of the Artesia bar and B.J. TURNER will aain take charge of it. -Ben BAHWELL, wife and child, are spending a few days with John JOHNSTON and wife. Mr. BAHWELL has been engaged in the blacksmithing business at Visalia. -W.P. DEAN, the new gunsmith, is doing a good business and gives general satisfaction. We saw a beautiful piece of woodwork there the other day in the shape of a shotgun stock. -George FREEMAN has been compelled to quit teaching school until he recovers from an attack of inflammatory rheumatism. He is now under treatment at the Lucerne sanitarium. -Thos. ESREY and wife have become residents of Hanford. Mr. ESREY will be B.J.

AMES has opened a blacksmith shop opposite the Hanford water works, where he is prepared to do all kinds of blacksmithing, carriage work, horse shoeing, etc. -J. ESPIASSE had his trial before Justice Randall last Saturday and the case was dismissed. He was accused of stealing a dog belonging to Hattie REED, a member of the demi-monde of this city. -Harry LILLIE, a Visalia attorney, was in Hanford last Saturday. In his younger days he was a resident of Hanford. He came over here to see about the trays on a 40-acre tract his father owns, adjoining the Silver Bow vineyard. -Ezra REED and a Portuguese were arrested yesterday afternoon for disturbing the peace of Mrs. WARREN, at her lodging house. She was holding a trunk of REED's for a bill and about midnight on Sunday the 2 men entered the house and took the trunk away. -We hope that matrimony will not have the same effect on other desirable citizens of Hanford that it has on A. WIENER, for he is going to leave us. He is now conducting a bond-fide closing out sale, as those who call and see his prices cannot fail to realize. The "Colonel" is ambitious for a larger field and is taking the shortest road, as usual, to "get there." WARDE AYERS, who several weeks ago was examined as to his qualifications for the position of pharmacist in the U.S. Navy, successfully passed the examination and last Friday, while visiting his folks near Grangeville, received a telegram notifying him that his commission had arrived and to report at once at Mare Island, on board the receiving ship 'Independence.' He expects to be appointed to the 'Boston.' The position is one worth having by any young man, as besides affording a chance to see the world, he becomes a petty officer and receives $60 a month and his uniform, board, etc. Mr. AYERS left Hanford for Mare Island last Friday evening. MIKE BARRY, who is accused of burglarizing the residence of Mrs. Ellen MILES in this city was arraigned last Saturday and Judge Jacobs appointed Cosmer B. CLARK to defend him.

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 5 NOVEMBER 1895 ************************************ BIRTH -- RIEFFLE -- At Traver, Cal., Oct. 28th, 1895, to Mr.&Mrs. E.H. RIEFFLE, a daughter. BIRTH -- KING -- In Excelsior district, Kings county, Cal., Sunday Nov. 3d, to the wife of Charles KING, twins -- 2 boys.

MARRIAGE -- LANDRAM-WOOTAN -- In the Presbyterian church at Traver, Cal., on Wednesday evening, Oct. 30, 1895, Edward LANDRAM of Dinuba and Miss Pauline WOOTAN of Traver. MARRIAGE -- McGINNIS-PICKERILL -- At the residence of the groom's mother, in Hanford, Cal., Thursday evening, Oct. 31st, 1895, Rev. J. Lee BLACK officiating; Howard McGINNIS and Miss Carrie PICKERILL. [The groom is the popular Marshal of this city and the bride is employed in the Tandy photograph gallery. They have both received a shower of congratulations from their numerous friends, who believe them well mated. Long may they live and prosper.] DEATH -- BLOYD -- Near Traver, Cal., Oct. 24, 1895, Mr. Emerson BLOYD, aged 75 years. DEATH -- VOLLMER -- In Mojave, Cal., Oct. 29, 1895, Verne D., infant and only child of Mr.&Mrs. Geo. VOLLMER, aged 3 months, 18 days. [from Local Paragraphs column] -- A man named James S. PATTON, from Redding, this state, committed suicide at the Visalia House, Visalia, last Sunday by taking morphine. He was found between 9 & 10 o'clock p.m. as he was dying. He had lost all his money at gambling and becoming despondent, took his life. ------------------------------------------------------- HALLOWEEN EVE -- Hanford Youths Have a Jolly Lark and Play Many Pranks -- Last Thursday evening was Halloween eve and the youngsters of Hanford duly observed it. Gates were taken off their hinges and carried away, buggies standing outside were overturned and signs were moved from 1 place to another to make the most astonishing announcements. At the school house the boys played quite a number of pranks, among them being the tying together of the cups used at the hydrants and hoisting them up to the top of the flag pole. One of Chas. SHARP & Co.'s vehicles was taken over to the railroad track and placed in an empty box car. Sam, the colored bootblack who has his stand in front of the 'Journal' office, usually smiling as a basket of chips, was out of humor on Friday morning, when he had to go clear down to J.G. JACOBS' livery stable and bring back his stand. Sam had never hear of Halloween and when some one told him that was the cause of his property being taken away he said: "Well, I'll hollow Eve the little ---- ---- if I catch 'em." The ringing of the fire bell that night was first attributed to them and the firemen, who got out of their warm beds to go to the fire at 12:30, used some very vigorous language about the boys and their doings, but they were subsequently pacified when they learned that there had really been a fire. Well, the boys had a good time and as no one was injured thereby so far as heard from, the general opinion expresses is, "Go it, boys, while you're young, for when you're old you can't." -------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -R.E. STARKWEATHER has severed all his connections with the Grangers Bank. -Will WORSWICK has returned to Hanford from Omaha, Nebraska, where he was superintending the paving of some streets with asphalt. -Rev. W.L. MILLER has been on the sick list for several weeks. His latest ailment is inflammatory rheumatism in one of his wrists. -John W. RAMSEY went back to Missouri last Saturday. T.T. RAMSEY of Selma went with him. They expect to be away 6 weeks or longer. -Achille BIANCHI was in Hanford last Saturday from Grangeville. He returned a few days before from Alaska. He was greatly benefited in health by the sea voyage, although the trip, he says, was quite rough throughout. -J.G. COVERT has given up the practice of law in this city. J.F. PRYOR and R. ABBOTT now occupy his former office. -A. LASASSO is now proprietor of the Silver Dollar saloon, having bought out Chas. ZIMMERMAN. -N. ARCHIBALD, a former resident of Eureka but the past 11 years a resident of Rio Grande, visiting Hanford last week. THOS. WATSON and wife left Hanford last Sunday for Healdsburg, where they will attend the college in that place for the next 3 months, taking a course of medical lectures, as a sort of preparation for entering the Crystal Springs sanitarium at St. Helena, from which they expect to graduate in due time as experience nurses in the practice of hydropathy, or the water cure treatment for diseases. The good wishes of many friends here go with them wherever they may go. LAST SATURDAY afternoon the residence of F.M. HART in Mussel Slough country was burned to the ground. Mrs. HART was alone at home with her 2 children and after dinner while she was fixing a mop at the pump preparatory to scrubbing the kitchen floor her attention was called into the house by one of the children. On entering she found the kitchen on fire near the cook stove. Seeing it impossible to try to extinguish it she got out a few things but not enough to amount to much. The loss will be several hundred dollars to Mr. HART as it was only partially covered by insurance. - Traver 'Advocate,' Oct. 29 REV. C.S. LINSLEY is deprived of the use of 1 hand for a time on account of having lost the end of the 2nd finger of his left hand. Last Friday afternoon while at Goldberg & Barber's furniture store, he arose from a chair and without observing what he was doing placed his hand on the cogs of a machine which is used for cleaning hair. The cogs took off the finger nail and the flesh on the end of 1 finger, leaving the flesh hanging by a small strip. The bone was not injured and the loose flesh was cut away and a doctor dressed the wound. Visalia 'Times' -- C.K. DECKER, who was better known to Visalians as "Posey" when he was a resident here in the '70's, is now one of the leading bee growers of Kings County, being one of the proprietors of the Willow Grove apiary near Hanford. Posey, old son, may your bees increase and the size of your honeycombs never grow less. OVER 200 people responded to the invitations issued by Mr.&Mrs. E. BARRIS of Traver to their China wedding, which took place last Thursday night. Over a dozen of their friends from Hanford were present. Although the house was jammed full of people, all seemed to enjoy themselves. The wedding ceremony was duly performed and the couple, who have passed 15 years of married life, were presented with a handsome china tea set, on behalf of their friends in Traver, and they received quite a number of other presents. There was singing and refreshments, and the company finally dispersed, hoping they may help to celebrate Mr.&Mrs. BARRIS' golden wedding. THERE CAME near being a jail deery at Hanford Sunday night (26th ult). A screen had been placed before the water closet to accommodate a female prisoner, and when Deputy AYERS went to lock up the prisoners at night he thought he saw the shadow of legs behind the curtain. He had ordered the prisoners into the cells and locked them by the shaft, but on looking into EDMOND's cell he found a dummy in the bed. He then went into the corridor and told the man behind the curtain to come out. EDMONDS came out pale as death, expecting to be met with a fusillade of lead. A razor had been given the hobo prisoner for use in shaving, and this was in EDMONDS' bed, which leads to the conclusion that he intended a deadly assault on the deputy when he should step up to lock his cell, and having secured the keys, was intending to lead a general delivery of prisoners. ---------------------------------------------------- GRANGEVILLE GLEAMS -- -Little Claudine THORN has been having an attack of croup. -Miss Edna HACCKETT is recovering slowly from an attack of typhoid fever. -Mrs. M.A. HORLOCK is suffering from a severe cold, which has confined her to her room. -Henry HOLBROOK (a brother to Oscar HOLBROOK) arrived here from Pueblo, Cal., last Tuesday, and has gone to work for Jesse BROWN. His home is in Kentucky. -Will AGEE returned last Friday from San Francisco, where he has been trying to get a position. We understand he has succeeded and will shortly move with his family to the Bay City. LEMOORE LOCALS -- -Wade BAXTER returned from the East one day this week. -Ed ERLANGER is improving slowly from his long sick spell. -J.H. ROUTT received from his father at Moberly, Mo., one day this week, a box of fine winter apples;; also a keg of sorghum molasses. -Mr. M.A. HEINLEN has gone to San Jose for a 2 weeks' vacation. His father, John HEINLEN, is looking after the business during his absence. -John HAYES, Went MILLS, Bud BARKER and Joe MILLS returned on Monday last from a 6 weeks' trip to Nevada after cattle. They were 29 days returning from Owens river and were at the summit of Green's pass through the Sierras in the midst of the last storm. They return to Owens river in a few days after another drove of beef steers. -Mr. T. McMANN met with an accident on Tuesday of this week which came near being fatal. While driving from his ranch on the West Side en route to Lemoore, he was thrown from his wagon near Uncle Dan RHOADS' place. He was sent to fall from his wagon by Mr. T. COWAN, who came to his assistance and extracted him from under the forewheels of the wagon, which had partly passed over his neck and shoulders. He succeeded in placing him in his wagon and proceeded with him to the office of Dr. FOLEY, who, upon examination, found him suffering from a broken collar bone and various other bruises. After setting the broken member, he was placed in his wagon, which was in waiting, and Dr. FOLEY and Grandpa MITCHEL accompanied him to his home at the Sycamore ranch. He was driving 2 heavy dapple grays at the time of the accident, and to their gentleness he owes his life, for had they not stopped at his command the wheels would have passed over his head with fatal results. At last reports he was o n the way to recovery. Transcribed by Dee Sardoch To see more old newspapers, visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/
