BIRTH -- SELIGMAN -- At Traver, Oct. 3, 1895, to Mr.&Mrs. Emil SELIGMAN, a son. MARRIAGE -- CAPLINGER-KING -- In Hanford, Oct. 2, 1895, by Justice Fassett; Ernest CAPLINGER of Lemoore and Della L. KING of Hanford. MARRIAGE --KEARNS-SCHNEIDER -- In Hanford, Oct. 3, 1895, by Rev. A.G. Park, at his residence; Rufus H. KEARNS and Martha SCHNEIDER, both of Lemoore. DEATH -- AUBREY -- At Exeter, Oct. 1, 1895, infant son of Mr.&Mrs. AUBREY, and niece [?] of Mrs. Cal BOYD of Hanford, aged 1 month. DEATH -- MARVIN -- Near Paddock school house, Kings county, Cal., on Sunday night, Oct. 6th, 1895, infant son of Mr.&Mrs. John MARVIN, aged 4 days. [The remains were interred in the Grangeville cemetery yesterday.] [from Local Paragraphs column] -- Mrs. Laura J. BOND of Delano died very suddenly in Tulare Sunday (29th ult.) She had been visiting Mrs. N.W. MOORE and was on her way to take the 7:40 train for home, accompanied by Mrs. MOORE. They were chatting happily when Mrs. BOND gave an exclamation of distress and sank to the ground. Medical aid was called, but the unfortunate lady lived only a few minutes. She was 64 years of age and has married children living in this and adjoining counties. The remains were carried to Modesto for burial. [from Local Paragraphs column] -- E.E. GLEASON of Traver has been appointed guardian of George Gilbert MURRAY, a minor, whose father, a cattle man of Excelsior district, died recently. N. WILLIAMS and Emil SELGMAN are the bondsmen. ----------------------------------------------------- THE 40 THIEVES -- 2 of Them Held for Trial -- Convincing Evidence Against Both of Them -- The preliminary examination of Elmer JEFFERDS, charged with stealing a set of harness from Frank REA, took place before Justice Randall last Saturday. District Attorney SHORT, assisted by Rowen IRWIN, prosecuted the case, while W.D. GRADY of Fresno appeared as counsel for defendant. Frank REA, his son Edgar, and C.H. DILL, identified the harness; John SLATER and R.L. NULL testified to defendant being in Traver, near the scene of the robbery during the Sunday on which night the harness was stolen. Ben BARLOW, who has turned States evidence, testified that he and the defendant, at the request of John JOHNSON, stole the harness, and told where they left it. Charley SHERWIN testified to BARLOW and JEFFREYS [spelled 2 ways] having brought the harness down to his ranch and putting it with some other things belonging to JOHNSON. They told him the harness belonged to another man -- a man whom he named. All the evidence taken was for the prosecution. After hearing the evidence and arguments, Justice Randall held defendant to answer before the Superior Court. As JEFFORDS could not give $3000 bail, he remains in jail. The preliminary examination of Claude ARMSTRONG on 2 charges of grand larceny, for stealing a horse from R.S. CURLE and another from Sisler Bros., of Traver, was held last Saturday before Justice Wooten at Traver. He was held to answer on both charges, with bail fixed at $3000 in each case. He is still in jail. ------------------------------------------------------- JAMES STANLEY came near having a serious mishap near Armona last Thursday. He was just about to drive his 4-horse team across the railroad track near the cemetery, when a train, which had been obstructed from his view by the trees in the railroad orchard, dashed by. The leaders of the team wheeled around and broke the tongue out of the wagon and 1 of the wheelers began to buck. Mr. STANLEY clung to the lines and was dragged to the ground. Some Chinamen from across the track came to his assistance and by their help Mr. STANLEY got his team straightened out. He was considerably bruised, but thinks he was lucky to come out as well as he did. ------------------------------------------------------ A RESIDENCE BURNED -- The Traver 'Advocate' of last Thursday contained the following news item about a former resident of Kings county: The residence of Mr. L. BLOYD, 3 miles NE of Traver, was burned to the ground last Thursday morning, before any of the contents could be saved. The day before, Mr. BLOYD, who is suffering from effects of cancer and is now very low, was moved from his residence to that of his son-in-law, Mr. A.E. McCLANAHAN. Had it not been for this act, we know of no reason why it could be expected that the old gentleman could have escaped with his life, as he is helpless and his aged wife would have been but little assistance. On the morning of the fire Mrs. BLOYD went across to her house to attend to the little chores about the place and to prepare some ointment for her husband. It seems the preparation had to be heated and this she was doing by the aid of a candle, which set fire to some curtains while her attention was called to aid a chicken which had fallen into the horse trough. The loss is about $1600 on which there was but a small insurance. ------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -R.A. LONG, the drayman, lost 1 of his fine dray horses last Sunday, of brain fever. -A. SLOTEMAKER and family, of the Queen Wilhelmina colony, returned last Wednesday from a visit of 4 months at Santa Monica. -A. POLITEO and J. BOTLERI are now the owners of the Metropolitan restaurant, the latter having bought out the interest of J. AVIANA. -Mrs. J.W. BARBOUR, son and daughter, left Hanford last Thursday for a visit to their old home in Canton, St. Lawrence county, New York. -P.A. KANAWYER, who now resides near Fresno, was in Hanford last Saturday. -E.J. HUMMEL is up from Bakersfield for a few days, assisting John ROSS, who has been ill, in keeping the books of the Wendling Lumber Co. A DISAGREEMENT between the proprietors of the City Bakery last week caused the bakery to be closed for a couple of days. But Mr. BADER saw to it that his patrons were supplied with bread, as he drove to Visalia each night and had a good supply of the article on hand each morning. The trouble between the partners was soon settled by Mr. BADER buying out the interest of his partner, Mr. LANDVOGHT, and he is now sole proprietor. FOLLOWING is a LIST of TRIAL JURORS drawn to appear in the Superior Court this (Tuesday) morning: L.C. DUNHAM H.W. RAWLINS A.M. STONE J.W. BELKNAP P.S. SWEENEY M.D. SIM Thomas J. REUCK P. McCARTHY D. VINEY G.L. FLETCHER G.U. CLARK Harry PEACOCK J.W. RUSSELL J.C. ENSIGN E.P. O'BRIEN E.Y. DOLLENMEYER A.W. LANE B.F. RAGSDALE Wm. STRATTON A.R. DAVIS Wm. DULANEY S. BOOKER S.M. JOINER Charles COE W.H. VAUGHN THE GENIAL countenance of John S. URTON, the old time surveyor, was seen on the streets of Hanford again last Saturday, and he spent the day greeting his many friends. He has been at his old home in Kentucky ever since he left here, until called back as a witness in the case of the Lower Kings River Reclamation District vs. Geo. WOOD and P.C. PHILLIPS, which was on trial in the Superior Court of Fresno county last week. CHAS. CAMERON, the dentist, last Saturday renounced his allegiance to Queen Victoria and all other potentates, princes, etc., and is now a citizen of the United States. All his brothers, except the one now in Canada, are now citizens of this great republic. ------------------------------------------------------- GRANGEVILLE -- -Mr. Newt AGEE received a letter Saturday from his brother, William, dated Seattle, in which he states that he will arrive in San Francisco next Tuesday or Wednesday. He had rather a rough journey from Cook's Inlet, but said he would wait till he gets home to give an account of the trip. -Mrs. Frank RAILSBACK arrived home last Tuesday, after an absence of nearly 3 months. While gone Mrs. R. visited Bloomfield (her old home) and several other places on the coast. Her little son, Leonard, accompanied her and they have both returned very much improved in health. EUCALYPTUS -- -Geo. DODGE, a near neighbor of John DEARDORFF's, is also adding to his comforts by the erection of a dwelling house. Who is next?

There is a funeral notice in today's Sac Bee for Marcela Lohmeyer. This is a related line (although distant) that I have researched because it was easy - they have been in Sacramento since 1880ish. Many of the family are in the Old City Cemetery. If anyone is related and needs info I have obits and cemetery pics. I would just need to make the final connection as my research stopped with Sidney Lohmeyer, who I believe was Marcela's husband. He was born in Sacramento, the son of Harry Lohmeyer. Betty
Oh, Dee, how sad that makes me. You have no idea how grateful I am to you for finding that info for me. I've been looking for her for a long time, to no avail, not having the info abt her divorce and new name. You were my only hope of finding her, Dee, thanks very much. Will you send me your address so I can send you a thank you stipend?

Hope it helps, anyway: Record Searchlight Redding, California Monday, June 30, 1986; p. 1 CHP Says drinking killed 3 -- 3 people were killed in 3 separate north state traffic accidents in which the California Highway Patrol suspects drinking and driving as a factor. The deaths, on Interstate 5 in Redding, near Whiskeytown Dam west of Redding and on Highway 299 near Salyer, were the worst of several weekend highway accidents, including one in which an 8-year-old Sacramento girl was thrown from a car on I-5 north of Weed. In the 1st incident, Ramona SNELSON, 38, of Proberta died following a single-vehicle wreck on I-5 at the Hilltop Drive overpass. She apparently was found near the car and died at Mercy Medical Center in Redding at approximately 2 a.m. Saturday. The CHP report says Mrs. SNELSON's husband, William, was southbound when he swerved to avoid a slower vehicle, lost control and rolled down an embankment on the west side of the freeway. SNELSON, cited on suspicion of felony drunken driving, was listed in "fair" condition at Mercy this morning. A 2nd passenger, Charles FERGUSON, 62, of Willows, was to be released from Mercy today. …[goes on to describe other, unrelated, accidents] At 06:46 PM 2/14/2010, you wrote: >Thanks to Jan and Sherrie, I think I have found my friend. >Could someone please do an obit lookup for me for Ramona SNELSON, dod 6-28-1986 in Shasta Co.

[The funeral of deceased took place yesterday forenoon at 10:30 o'clock, under the auspices of Emory Rebekah Lodge of Traver, and the remains were interred in the Odd Fellows' cemetery of that town. Deceased had a large circle of friends at Traver and many here, who had heartfelt sympathy for her in her long illness. She leaves a husband and other relatives to mourn her loss.] DEATH -- HAYES -- Near Kingston, Cal., Sunday, Sept. 29th, of a congestive chill, the daughter of Mr.&Mrs. O. HAYES, aged 5 years. [The remains were interred in the Grangeville cemetery yesterday afternoon.] [from Local Paragraphs column] -- A boiler furnishing steam to run a barley crusher, exploded on the HAMLIN ranch, near Delano, last Saturday, Walter GARWOOD, 20 years of age, a son of P.J. GARWOOD, of Poso, was instantly killed. William MILLER had both legs broken and is injured internally. Lon SAGACY, 13 years old, was scalded slightly. Will ROWLEE and others were also slightly injured. EDWARD BENNETT, a man from Visalia who was an inmate of the Stockton insane asylum, committed suicide recently in a most deliberate manner. He tied one end of a handkerchief around his neck and the other to a grated window, then he drew his knees up till he choked to death. BENNETT was raised in Visalia and his vocation was that of teamster. He had a magnificent physique, which he ruined by debauchery. Previous to being sent to Stockton he tried to commit suicide and very nearly succeeded. ------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE -- I hereby announce to the public that from and after this date I give my son, Fredrick F. COOPER, aged 20 years, his time. C.S. COOPER Hanford, Sept. 7, 1895 ------------------------------------------------------- THE 40 THIEVES -- Officers Have Several of Them in Jail And Are on a Hot Trail After Others -- The members of the gang known as the 40 thieves, which has operated for many years in Tulare, Fresno, Kern and Kings counties, are on pins and needles, not knowing just what is going to happen next. Several of the leaders of the gang are in jail and the evidence of their guilt of larcenies and burglaries, and the recovery of stolen goods by the officers, is making all the members of the gang uncomfortable, for San Quentin stares each and every one of them in the face. For several years it has been evident that an organized gang of thieves was at work between Tulare Lake and Camp Badger, away up in the mountains. Agricultural implements of every description, barbed wire, harness, alfalfa seed -- anything and everything was stolen. Traver perhaps suffered the most from the depredations of the gang, being the nearest to the thieves' main rendezvous, and finally patience ceased to be a virtue and several prominent men of that city and surrounding country organized and sought the aid of Kings County officers to put down the gang which, they claimed, their own officers were unable or unwilling to do. Constable BERNSTEIN and his Deputy, Frank GRIFFITH, assisted by Deputy Sheriff HAFLEY of Tulare county, began the work of securing evidence against the gang about a month ago and they are showing great results for their hard and earnest work. The first and main arrest thus far made was that of Johnny JOHNSON who, the officers claim, is one of the leaders of the gang. He was arrested on Friday, Sept. 20th, in Hanford, on a charge of stealing a set of harness from Frank REA. JOHNSON is still in jail. Most of the harness was found by the lake, in the tules. Ben BARLOW was placed in jail for the 2nd time recently, on Wednesday last, and is out on $3000 bonds. He is accused of stealing a plow from Fred HOWE, who lives 7 miles SE of Hanford. The plow was found on Chas. SHERWIN's ranch, down near the lake. Claude ARMSTRONG, a Traver young man, 19 years of age, who shot at the officers of that town who attempted to arrest him and has for a couple of months been chased by the officers, is another of the gang. He was captured on Monday night of last week by Deputy Sheriff HAFLEY of Visalia, at a ranch 20 miles from Woodland. He is now in the Visalia jail. E. JEFFORDS, another of the gang, was arrested at Fresno by Constable SHAW, at the request of Constable BERNSTEIN, last Wednesday and is now in jail here. Besides the stolen property referred to above, the officers have found a force pump stolen from the Excelsior cheese factory and other articles. The officers are still hunting evidence and expect to catch more of the gang. All persons who have lost stock or any article should report the matter to the officers, as they may recover it. An organization should be formed to assist the officers in their work and everyone can afford to give a little to aid in getting the country rid of the gang of thieves which has been infesting it for years. Joe MIDDLETON, recently convicted of stealing wheat and sentenced to 6 months in the county jail is another, and probably the boldest of the gang, and Sheriff BUCKNER and his deputies deserve credit in bringing him to justice. Within the past week the store of Levis, Sweet & Co., at Traver, has been robbed, as has also Z.T. BARNETT's house in Excelsior district, the loss in both instances being quite heavy. -------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -B. DURHAM, of Contra Costa county, is visiting his cousin, Mrs. K.H. SIM, and family. -T.F. FISHER left Hanford last Thursday for Humbolt, Kansas, his old home. While there he will, if he can, dispose of his property and return to California to make his permanent residence here. -Miss Kate LEGGETT has purchased a millinery store in Selma. She was a pupil of Mrs. A.F. GREEN, of this city, for some time. -Chas. KENDALL has gone East, on a visit to his old home in West Carrollton, Ohio. The 'Journal' will keep him posted on Kings County (Cal.) affairs, back there as it did here. -Elmer BOND, one of the sons of Dr. BOND, goes to S.F. next week, to commence the study of medicine at the California Medical College. -Porter MICKLE and wife, Miss Daisy LOVELACE, Miss Lida BIDDLE, Robert BIDDLE and Frank McCARTY arrived home from Mineral King last Friday. They have been in the mountains 2 months. MISS LIDA BIDDLE and Miss Daisy LOVELACE, who arrived home from Mineral King last Friday, probably broke the record as female equestrians from this locality. They rode all the way down from Mineral King -- about 85 miles -- on their burros. Garbed in bloomers, but wearing also a short skirt each, they made the long trip with a great deal more comfort than they ever could in riding a side saddle and encumbered with long skirts. It was a test of endurance that speaks well for their grit and for the convenience of the bloomer costume for ladies on camping out trips. Porter MICKLE gave the young ladies points in horsemanship (horsewomanship, should we say?) that were no doubt of value in their long ride. JACK AVIANI returned last Wednesday to Hanford. He took French leave when he went away from here a month or 2 ago, as he was to be tried for beating a woman, called Spanish Belle. Justice Randall did not require him to give bail, but released him on his own recognizance, and Jack skipped. Constable Goodrich nabbed him before he had been in town many hours and he was taken before Justice Randall, who did not like the way AVIANA [spelled 2 ways] had treated him, as the fine the Justice gave him shows. The fine imposed was $40. This AVIANA paid and was released from custody. W.M. GILL and son Louis went to Fresno last Friday, where they will at once begin publishing a paper to be called 'The Populist.' They will use the material of a former Populist paper, now defunct, all except the hand press, which will give place to a cylinder press which Gill & Son will purchase. The Populists of Fresno are giving the proposed new publication hearty support, as the Pops usually do. In fact, in that line they are much more liberal, as a rule, than the Dems. and Reps., who generally leave their papers to rustle for themselves. THE 8-YEAR-OLD daughter of O.P. LANE, a farmer of this vicinity, has been dangerously ill with lockjaw. Something over 2 weeks ago she ran a large splinter into one of her feet. Her parents thought they took all the splinter out, but did not succeed in doing so, although the wound appeared to be all right for some time; then blood poisoning set in and the child had many spasms -- sometimes every half hour. The condition of the child has been very serious, but she was slightly improved at last accounts. JUDGE JUSTIN JACOBS was to leave Wisconsin a wee ago last Sunday for the Southern States, where he expected to spend a few days, coming back by way of New Orleans and arriving in Hanford this evening. There were motions in several cases to be heard before the court today, but as Judge JACOBS nor Judge GRAY were here, the hearing of the cases was necessarily postponed. MARCUS CHEBOYA, a large Mexican with a big beard, who was sentenced to San Quentin by Judge JACOBS, for 6 months, for stabbing another Mexican named Jose GRIHALVA, returned to Hanford yesterday, almost direct from the State prison. He behaved himself well and gained all his credits, which reduced his time in jail to 5 months, and he was also, on account of good behavior, restored to citizenship. HARRY GEAR, who formerly kept a boot-black stand in this city and not very long ago married the widow of Justice LEWIS, is in jail serving a sentence of 50 days for a battery committed on his wife. They moved from here to Lemoore. GEAR had been away from home picking grapes, and when he returned home last Wednesday he was under the effects of liquor and abused his wife, who had him arrested. GEAR was tried before Justice Bullard and as his cruel treatment of his wife was clearly proven, he was found guilty and now languishes behind prison bars. A FRENCHMAN who was prowling about the residence of Mrs. Minnie MEYERS, a member of the demi monde, across the brack, yesterday afternoon and night, was shot at, about 11 p.m., by Alex BROWN, a colored man who, with his wife, lives in the same house. BROWN fired 2 shots at the prowler, one of them grazing the latter's face. He fell and BROWN stood over him with a loaded pistol until Deputy Constable Collins took him to the county jail. The shooting caused considerable excitement in the neighborhood. The man arrested is a stranger here and gives his name as Alex LOISON. He was this forenoon given 40 days in the county jail for disturbing the peace. W.M STANSBURY and wife left Hanford this morning for Stockton, where he will go into business for himself. They leave many friends behind who most sincerely regret their departure. Mr. STANSBURY is succeeded in the dress goods department of the Kutner-Goldstein Co. by S. STRAUS, late of Weintock & Lubin's, Sacramento. "COLONEL" WIENER and his bride arrived in Hanford last Tuesday evening. About 10 o'clock that night they were surprised at their rooms in the Hotel Hanford by a considerable number of their friends calling, with the band, and giving them a serenade. The company was most hospitably received and entertained. After spending several hours in social converse and examining the many valuable presents received by the happy couple, the visitors were invited to the dining room, where mine hose LOVENTHAL had spread a most tempting repast, which was done full justice to. After more music, the company dispersed. The visit was highly enjoyed by the genial "Colonel" and his bride, as well as the guests. MRS. JOHN WILSON, of Excelsior, had a close call for her life last Sunday forenoon. She and her husband went over to Wildflower. In a narrow lane, near that place, Mr. WILSON got out of the buckboard and shot a dove, and then returned and was standing by the vehicle trying to induce a young dog he had with him to take the bird up into the rig, when the horse they were driving took fright and after kicking in the dashboard ran away like mad. Mrs. WILSON was still in the rig, but succeeded in getting out of the back of the buckboard as the horse dashed along the narrow lane between 2 high rows of barbed wife fencing. Mrs. WILSON was not hurt beyond the shock and bruises. The rig was completely wrecked and the harness badly damaged. The horse escaped without injury. Mr. WILSON hired a man to bring himself and wife home. ------------------------------------------------------- GRANGEVILLE -- -Mrs. DOGGETT has been quite sick. -Mrs. THOMPSON has moved out of Newt AGEE's house into the one just west of the store and will share it with Mrs. BELKNAP until they can do better. -Rudolph MOHR and family, a brother of E.

Hi Donna, I found a news article about the death of Ramona, but there was no obit, per se. I checked a week's worth of papers. You might try for an obit in Red Bluff or Chico obit. Hope it helps, anyway: Record Searchlight Redding, California Monday, June 30, 1986; p. 1 CHP Says drinking killed 3 -- 3 people were killed in 3 separate north state traffic accidents in which the California Highway Patrol suspects drinking and driving as a factor. The deaths, on Interstate 5 in Redding, near Whiskeytown Dam west of Redding and on Highway 299 near Salyer, were the worst of several weekend highway accidents, including one in which an 8-year-old Sacramento girl was thrown from a car on I-5 north of Weed. In the 1st incident, Ramona SNELSON, 38, of Proberta died following a single-vehicle wreck on I-5 at the Hilltop Drive overpass. She apparently was found near the car and died at Mercy Medical Center in Redding at approximately 2 a.m. Saturday. The CHP report says Mrs. SNELSON's husband, William, was southbound when he swerved to avoid a slower vehicle, lost control and rolled down an embankment on the west side of the freeway. SNELSON, cited on suspicion of felony drunken driving, was listed in "fair" condition at Mercy this morning. A 2nd passenger, Charles FERGUSON, 62, of Willows, was to be released from Mercy today.

Sort of an exception: Even though I have my own SSN, I did not pay into Medicare, so I am listed as a dependent under my late husband's SSN for that purpose.

There is one case when you will see the same number used by two people - Some wives never got their own SSA number - and used their husband's number. Today that situation does not exist, but going back into older records you may well see that. -----Original Message----- From: norcal-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:norcal-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of DULCICH6@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 2:00 PM To: norcal@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NORCAL] CADI and SSN No, just the opposite.

No, just the opposite. The SSA doesn't reuse SS numbers. So if another person is using one of the posted numbers, it is obvious that he is doing it illegally. In fact, the SSA publishes the death list with SS numbers141hemselves so it may be checked for fraudulent use by living persons.
