BEASLEY officiating. [from Local Paragraphs column] -- Frank C. PINNELL, a young Traver bachelor, was married in Fresno, Aug. 14th, to Miss Edith A. BALLARD of Auberry. [from Local Paragraphs column] -- A.N. ANDERSON and his partner, Neil ANDERSON, were at work building a fence on a piece of land they had rented a half mile above the railroad bridge and a quarter of a mile from Kingsburg last Friday afternoon and about 5 o'clock concluded to go in swimming. A.N. ANDERSON got out into deep water, took cramps and was drowned, says the Visalia 'Times.' The coroner at Visalia was notified and L.C. LOCEY, deputy coroner, and T.A. ELLIOTT, shorthand reporter, left for the scene of the accident. They arrived at the river about 11 o'clock that night, but the body had not been recovered.

The deceased was a Swede 50 years old and leaves a wife & 6 children. ------------------------------------------------------ FROM THE FAR NORTH -- E.C. NOWLAN in a letter to the publisher of the 'Journal,' from Keohan, Kings County, N.B., Canada, under date of Aug. 18th, writes: "This county is now commencing to harvest wheat, oats and buckwheat, which are the staple farm crops. Haying is just over, with considerable shortage all over the Province, owing to excessive drought in June; but other crops will be an average. All root crops will be good. It reminds me of February out there, as it is now raining. I often get California-sick and, no doubt, some day I will "wander back again," as there is no place like the home of my adoption -- the Golden West, the land of sunshine and of flowers -- and especially Kings County, to me. I am enjoying good health," etc. ------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Mrs. S.M. JOINER returned recently from her trip to Texas, where she visited relatives and old friends. She enjoyed her visit but was glad to get back to California. -The date of the marriage of A.

They report having had a good time and look very much better.

I'm not sure what you mean by map. I have not seen a map in the ledgers, and I'm not aware of what a map is if it is referring to the Old San Jose blog. If by map you mean something like an index, we will be indexing the names, hopefully from A to Z with a page number, or numbers, where the name is found. I will keep an eye out for the name Rufus Young and let you know if I find anything. Has anyone been able to visit the blog?

He leaves a daughter, aged 14 years, also a wife, from whom he had separated. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Deceased had many friends from the vicinity of Grangeville, who sincerely regret his death. He was about 45 years of age. ----------------------------------------------------- THEIR BONES GO TO CHINA -- The 1st of last week 2 Chinese experts arrived in Hanford to prepare for shipment to China the bones of the Mongolians who had been buried in the Hanford cemetery. One of them, who evidently understood the anatomy of his subjects, placed the bones in position, while the other, an aged Mongolian with a gray bread, marked the sacks in which the remains were placed. The exhuming of the bones was begun on Thursday evening and finished on Friday morning. There were 20 Chinese whose bones are to be exported -- 14 buried in the cemetery and 6 contained in graves just outside of it. The bones of each hand were placed in a separate small white muslin sack, and the bones of each foot in a separate sack. These 4 small sacks were placed in a large muslin sack containing the larger bones. Each sack was marked by the aged Mongolian. The bones have been shipped to San Francisco, where, in a few days, they will be sent to China. The bodies have all be interred over 5 years. The Chinese company to which these deceased Mongolians belonged will ship the bones of 680 bodies on the same steamer. There were 8 more Chinese recently buried in the Hanford cemetery and these have been removed to the burying ground purchased a year or so ago by the Chinese, just west of the public cemetery. The brick altar and the neglected graves of the Chinese have always been an eye-sore and their removal to other quarters is a subject of congratulation for all who take an interest in seeing the home of the dead kept neat and beautiful. ------------------------------------------------------- [transcriber note -- whoever filmed this paper laid a supplement that was published across a page that contained this story & also Local Paragraphs -- will mark missing sections with 'illeg'] AWFUL TRAGEDY -- F.J.

WELSH was well known [large section illeg] …noon at 9 o'clock from the undertaking parlors. The funeral service was held at the place of interment in the Grangeville cemetery and consisted of a few remarks by A.G. PARK, who stated that deceased was one of the 1st people he had met on his arrival in this county, and he had always found him a congenial, honest man, kindly disposed to all men and he sincerely regretted the sad and terrible end of deceased which had been brought about through evil influences. Flavius J. WELSH (Flav as he was generally known) was one of the kindliest of men and he was a man with a host of friends and few enemies. But liquor and fast women brought about a sad ending to what gave promise in this youth of a long and honorable career. There are few indeed who will condone his offenses against society, but there are likewise few who knew him but will remember that he was a friend to the needy and him who hath no helper, and feel regret at the awful termination of his earthly career. Deceased leaves, besides a wife, a daughter 9 years of age, 2 brothers and an aged mother. His brother Frank, now a resident of Los Angeles county, came up and took charge of the funeral. The family of deceased are among our best citizens.

DEATH -- CROWSON -- At her home, 4 miles SW of Hanford, on Aug. 21, 1895, Mrs. Leroy CROWSON, aged 50 years.

He leaves a daughter, aged 14 years, also a wife, from whom he had separated. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Deceased had many friends from the vicinity of Grangeville, who sincerely regret his death. He was about 45 years of age. ----------------------------------------------------- THEIR BONES GO TO CHINA -- The 1st of last week 2 Chinese experts arrived in Hanford to prepare for shipment to China the bones of the Mongolians who had been buried in the Hanford cemetery. One of them, who evidently understood the anatomy of his subjects, placed the bones in position, while the other, an aged Mongolian with a gray bread, marked the sacks in which the remains were placed. The exhuming of the bones was begun on Thursday evening and finished on Friday morning. There were 20 Chinese whose bones are to be exported -- 14 buried in the cemetery and 6 contained in graves just outside of it. The bones of each hand were placed in a separate small white muslin sack, and the bones of each foot in a separate sack. These 4 small sacks were placed in a large muslin sack containing the larger bones. Each sack was marked by the aged Mongolian. The bones have been shipped to San Francisco, where, in a few days, they will be sent to China. The bodies have all be interred over 5 years. The Chinese company to which these deceased Mongolians belonged will ship the bones of 680 bodies on the same steamer. There were 8 more Chinese recently buried in the Hanford cemetery and these have been removed to the burying ground purchased a year or so ago by the Chinese, just west of the public cemetery. The brick altar and the neglected graves of the Chinese have always been an eye-sore and their removal to other quarters is a subject of congratulation for all who take an interest in seeing the home of the dead kept neat and beautiful. ------------------------------------------------------- [transcriber note -- whoever filmed this paper laid a supplement that was published across a page that contained this story & also Local Paragraphs -- will mark missing sections with 'illeg'] AWFUL TRAGEDY -- F.J. WELSH Kills His Paramour and Then Himself -- A Strange Infatuation Breaks up a Home And Ends in Murder and Suicide -- A terrible tragedy took place in Visalia last Thursday. Flavins J. WELSH, until recently of this city, killed a courtesan called Edna EARL, whose real name is Etna DUNTON, and then killed himself. WELSH was well known [large section illeg] …noon at 9 o'clock from the undertaking parlors. The funeral service was held at the place of interment in the Grangeville cemetery and consisted of a few remarks by A.G. PARK, who stated that deceased was one of the 1st people he had met on his arrival in this county, and he had always found him a congenial, honest man, kindly disposed to all men and he sincerely regretted the sad and terrible end of deceased which had been brought about through evil influences. Flavius J. WELSH (Flav as he was generally known) was one of the kindliest of men and he was a man with a host of friends and few enemies. But liquor and fast women brought about a sad ending to what gave promise in this youth of a long and honorable career. There are few indeed who will condone his offenses against society, but there are likewise few who knew him but will remember that he was a friend to the needy and him who hath no helper, and feel regret at the awful termination of his earthly career. Deceased leaves, besides a wife, a daughter 9 years of age, 2 brothers and an aged mother. His brother Frank, now a resident of Los Angeles county, came up and took charge of the funeral. The family of deceased are among our best citizens. Etna DUNTON came to Hanford about 8 months ago and was, at different times, a resident of both the fast houses across the track, residing most of the time in Elsie THOMAS' house of ill fame, until Marshal McGINNIS made a raid on these houses and drove out the [this column is partially blocked on the left side] [illeg] ago.

They also had a crop over on the West Side, which turned out very well, considering the season. GEORGE EDDY, ex-Mayor of Goshen, was arrested on 2 different charges yesterday -- using vulgar language and riding faster than the law allows in the city limits.

Frank JOHNSON, being a neighbor and friend, was called, and while their attention was on Joe, all at once a light sprang up. Frank, looking toward home, discovered that his barn was on fire. It was an entire loss, as he did not discover the fire in time to save anything. 8 sets of harness, cultivators, carts, driving harness, a lo t of farming implements and 2 carts were burned up. Frank says he will have to go afoot now, as he has not even a bridle to ride with. He had a large barn, and as he believes in caring for everything, much was stored away in the barn.

He had been to Belleville and was returning, and was shot dead from his horse about 11 P.M. No arrests have been made, but it is surmised that a man named BROPHY may have had a hand in the assassination. McLAUGHLIN was formerly a resident here, was a large owner in Blackhawk, and was concerned in the trouble there formerly in which the two Brophys were killed; hence the suspicion. ARIZONA Murdered by Indians - The Late Stage Robbery PHOENIX, July 15th - News was received here yesterday noon that Dan DETERICH, one of the firm of Morgan & Co., a large mercantile house in Phoenix, was shot and killed by Pima Indians, at his branch store on the Gila river, south of this city.

He fell on his face, receiving four bullets in his back. A Coronerís jury went out, viewed the body, and are now in session. A Florence special to the Herald says that there was no money in the treasure-box at the late robbery of the Globe stage. It contained packages valued at $90.

At Wheatland, Yuba county, Thursday, while two little boys, aged 7 and 10, sons of Edward O'BRIEN, were playing with a shotgun, it was accidentally discharged, killing the younger boy instantly. Two small boys at Virginia City lately uncoupled two cars on a grade, let off the brakes, and were wildly delighted to see them whizzing down the track. The result was a smash-up and one wrecked freight cat. The boys were arrested for malicious mischief. A curious accident recently occurred to S.O. HUGHES, of Waterville, Mont. While taking from the rack a bottle of lemon soda he knocked down two additional bottles, which exploded with such force as to drive the glass into his wrist and cut several small veins and also main arteries. Independence lake, on the eastern slope of the Sierras, and but three hoursí drive from Truckee, is, the Republican declares, unexcelled in its attractions.

A minister once told Wendell PHILLIPS that if his business in life was to save the negroes, he ought to go to the South, where they were, and do it. "That is worth thinking of," replied Phillips; "and what is your business in life?" "To save men from going to hell," replied the minister. "Then go there and attend to your business," said Phillips.

The Daily Record-Union Sacramento, Cal. Thursday, July 15, 1880 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE POLICE COURT - In the Police court yesterday A. BEMINCRER was tried and found guilty of disturbing the peace, and will receive sentence to- day. Mrs. R. MAZEAUX and Miss Maggie SANZE were tried upon same charge and discharged. John DOUGH, for embezzlement, was discharged. Lizzie DWYER, for disturbing the peace, was found guilty and fined $5. The case of Wallace McPHERSON was continued till Saturday. The cases of Ah Sam and Ah Toy, for stealing lumber, were continued till same time. L. TOMLIN, for being common drunk, was given twenty five days in the County Jail to enable him to get sober. E. BAROVA and John BLANCICH, for disturbing the peace, were discharged on payment of costs. Robert McMAHON, for same offense, pleaded guilty and will be sentenced to- day. M. ZOCH, for same, was discharged, and James McLAUGHLIN, being a vagrant, was sent to the County Jail for ninety days. COLORED HONESTY - Some months ago a colored man by the name of J.C. JACKSON was fined in the Police Court in this city the sum of $20 for battery upon another man of his color. After judgment it was represented to the Court that if the defendant was allowed to go out and earn the money, he would pay the fine. The Court, trusting to the defendantís honesty, allowed him to go. It appears that the trust was not misplaced, for yesterday a package of coin - $20 - was received, which the defendant sent from Jacinto to meet his liability. This is a rare instance of integrity for the class that have dealings in the Police court. It is safe to say, however, that the Court will not make a steady practice of trusting generally to the integrity of its judgment debtors. BRIEF NOTES Captain James B.

Betty, There are a bunch of Crouch's at OCC.

Betty, Look at the Social Security Death Index on Genealogybank.com.  It is a free part of Genealogybank.  I searched on first name: Elizabeth and Betty birth between 1935 - 1940 death 2002 Santa Clara County, California.  (I think Palo Alto is Santa Clara Co.)  There were 4 Elizabeths and 6 Bettys.  As a subscriber to Genealogybank, it asked me if I wanted to see the California obituaries for the surnames.  Owens, Thomas and Johnson all had too many obituaries to check, but that was all of the obituaries they have for California for those surnames.  It included all years.
