My dad told me about the kids being killed when I was younger, and I read a story (don't remember where) about it but for some reason I thought it was a family on a picnic. I believe they were built to go off after descending to a certain altitude.

No one knew what it was, but an alert forest ranger called the military authorities at the Presidio of San Francisco and reported it. Meanwhile the balloon came to rest atop a 60 foot dead fir tree in the forest near a local road. In the next few hours several people gathered in the area to gaze up at the strange object.

Forest rangers kept the curious well back from the fallen debris until Army personnel arrived, Upon examination, it was found to be a Japanese bombing balloon with four incendiary bombs and one high explosive bomb still aboard and the bomb releasing mechanism still very much intact. It later proved to be one of the most intact bombing balloons yet to fall into American hands.

Their were thousand of Barometric Balloons a .45 cents about for each .A Japanese scientist discovered the Jet stream in the 30's and wrote it up in a Scientific Journal in Esperanza thinking the Scientific community would be using Esperanza,it was General LeMay from Saipan that really found it as his pilots were 100's of miles at times off target.The West coast kept it secret that Japs had taken barometric readings for years over the West Coast and knew the readings in WA,OR and Kalitaxia.The bombs released by Barometric readings landed in Forests,Fields and communities and killing some,burning some and doing no harm other that Psychological in others .I have seen one.They also used a long range IL Class Submarine that carried two miny subs or one Amphibian.My uncle a coast watcher in Rolling Hills spotted one and it was sunk a Portuguese bend[I dove on in in 1950 with others} and then the mother sub went north to Oxnard and fired at the Oil Refinery.One of the three IL's launched a by plane towards Portland that bombed a field returned to sea only to find he was abandoned.A question,why were Kamikaze pilots given a parachute? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan D Slade Grossl" <sdsladegrossl@cableone.net> To: <norcal@rootsweb.com>; <socal@rootsweb.com>; "SF Genealogy" <casanfra@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 2:36 PM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] Notorious California Events Jim, Didn't the balloon land in Oregon and kill one person? or where there two balloons and one lit in California?

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE ELK GROVE AMATEURS - Our Elk Grove correspondent says a very enjoyable entertainment was given by the Elk Grove Amateurs at Elk Grove last Friday evening. The programme though somewhat lengthy was well selected. Miss Anna McCONNELL, Mrs. Nettie EVERSON and Messrs. Ninion COONS and O.W. ERLEWINE each sang songs that elicited well-deserved applause. The chief feature of the evening was the military drama, ìEnlisted for the War.î Mrs. Nettie EVERSON made a splendid Mrs. Trueworthy, the widowed mother. Ninion COONS played the part of the son Robert with great feeling. Miss Belle McKENNEY, as Mattie Trueworthy showed her talents to good advantage. C.B. TURRILL made a good Hosea Jenks, a corpulent auctioneer, with a strong penchant for very poor puns, at which he laughed immoderately. The part of Hiram, the son of Hosea Jenks, was taken by D.S. BASCOM, whose awkward boyishness brought down the house. Miss Laura GRAHAM made a handsome and attractive Gaylie Gifford. Frank GRAHAM, in the difficult character of Crimp (a darkey) gave proof of his strong dramatic talent. O.W. ERLEWINE, as Colonel Boxer, convulsed the house with laughter by his aversion to tobacco, especially when talking with General Grant.(W.E. EVERSON), who was provided with the omnipresent cigar. Lew LAWRENCE made a capital Wilder Rowe, the villain of the play. The familiar comedy, Nan, the Good-for-Nothing, formed a part of the programme. Miss Laura GRAHAM made an excellent Nan.

After the performance dancing was in order and continued until 4 oíclock next morning. SERIOUS ACCIDENT Fall of the K street Balcony - A Score and More Persons Injured Shortly after the ìHorriblesî procession up K street yesterday - about 4:30 P.M., a balcony at the southwest corner of K and Eighth streets fell, and precipitated a river of people upon it some fifteen feet to the sidewalk below and upon the cobbles of the street. The balcony gave way from being overweighed for so aged a structure. It was old, warped and insufficient to sustain a weight which its size had naturally invite upon it, however strong it might have been originally. The section which fell was the corner from line of the east wall to the building but the line of the K-street sidewalk and from line of the south wall of the house to the *th street sidewalk, or a section about five and fifteen feet square. The property owned by A. COOLOT, stationer and tobaccoist, J street, between Eighth and Ninth. Nearly as can now be ascertained there were on the balcony some twenty-five people, adults and children, and a few others scattered along its extension westward on K street. Something attracted the attention of these people up K street, and most of them shoved up to the corner of the balcony, whereupon it suddenly gave way and precipitated the crowd to the street below. Beneath the balcony stood nearly as great a crowd as that above. Upon these people the timbers fell, and many were severely bruised. The scene at the time of the fall was heartrending. The cries of women, the screams of children, the groans of the wounded, the cries for help, the imprecation of the men, all went to make up a scene full of tragic interest, and which appealed to even the coldest heart. A hundred strong men instantly responded to the cry for aid, the broken timbers were speedily cleared away, and the wounded ones carried into adjacent apartments and physicians summoned. An immense crowd gathered, and the efforts of the police and several military men was necessary to keep back the people and afford room for the treatment of the sufferers. As nearly as can now be ascertained the sufferers were: Mrs. Job WEBB, Nineteenth and N street, severely bruised in the side and head; fell from the balcony. The little boy of Mrs. WEBB, ankle and foot badly hurt; fell from the balcony. Another and elder child of Mrs. WEBB fell form the balcony and was slightly bruised. Mrs. James MURRAY, Nineteenth and N streets. Precipitated from the balcony; badly bruised on the right knee and foot and in the back. Mrs. Annie BLAKE, an invalid, resides in the building; was thrown from the balcony into the broken mass of lumber and was badly hurt in the right side and is hurt internally badly. Mrs. Mollie JACKSON fell with the wreck; lives in the building; severely injured internally. Mrs. C.E. CLARK lives in the building; fell form the balcony; hurt in the head and back, but not seriously. Mrs. Cora MOWE lives in the building; was thrown with her child in arms from the balcony and both were considerably bruised. Ida GERRY, a child, slightly bruised by falling timber; lives at 1623 G street. W.W. SMITH, 1623 G street, was beneath the balcony and was badly hurt on the back by a falling beam. May JOHNSON, a child, living on G street, near 1623, was severely bruised. Mr. and Mrs. NELLIS, living on Eighth street, between K and L, were beneath the balcony. The old gentleman was cut in the hand and wrist and the old lady was bruised in the shoulder and back. A young man named VANDEMARK and his sister, living in the country, were beneath the balcony and were both severely bruised, but not seriously so. A.O. CAMPBELL, Eldred House, hurt by falling timbers; injury mainly in the hips; not serious. Wm. McKENZIE, lives at the American Eagle Hotel; crushed by a falling beam; suffering from concussion and from internal injuries. Seven or eight persons were slightly bruised, who left for their homes before their names could be ascertained. The balcony was along its horizontals all out of line, and few of the posts were at a perfect perpendicular. The supports were six by six inches, nine feet apart and probably strong enough if perfectly upright and on unyielding foundations, which appearances indicate may not have been the case. It seems that the inner corner sank first. It was held upon cleats resting on iron clamps set in the wall and keyed to the wall by a Y shaped iron, which pulled out. Mr. COOLOT had contemplated soon building a new balcony. The place was loaded with flower-boxes full of earth, wood, water-barrels, etc., but most of these weights were not upon the corner that fell, though some were.

Sacramento Daily Record-Union Monday, July 5, 1880 TO-DAY'S CELEBRATION What is to be Done, and the Order of its Doing The celebration of the one hundred and fourth anniversary of the nationís birth really began Saturday evening. Despite orders of the Chief of Police YOUNG America opened the annual bombardment at that time and kept it up until a late hour. At several private residences there were displays of fireworks and illuminations for the benefit of the youth of the household, who after all are better pleased with the simple pyrotechnics which father and mother provide ìat home,î than with the more elaborate displays at public expense. YESTERDAY The flag of our country was flung to the breeze from every flagstaff, and many residences and public buildings were dressed richly in evergreens and flags in honor of the day. The old custom, peculiar to Sacramento, of dressing the streets with green boughs, was entered upon on Saturday, and by to-day the usual bowers of green will present their pleasing lines to the eye along J, K and their cross streets as far up as Eleventh, and from I to L. The celebration to-day promises to be creditable to the city, albeit the exertion has not been to make any extra showing of special display, but rather to observe in a general way the recurrences of the natal day of the nation. To-day is made by law a legal holiday, and hence it was resolved upon by the Committee of Arrangements to celebrate the anniversary which fell on Sunday, this year, upon this day. AT SUNRISE The church bells will be rung for ten minutes, and at the same time the Sacramento Light Artillery, under command of Captain ATWOOD, will fire a salute of thirteen guns - the number representing the thirteen colonies that resolved upon resistance to the mother country. At 8:30 A.M. the staff of the Grand Marshall will assemble at the Capital Hotel, Seventh and K streets. From that place the chief aids and assistants will be dispatched to the places of assembly of the divisions of which they are to have charge in the line. At 9 A.M. the officers of the day and invited guests will assemble in the parlors of the Capital Hotel, and at the same hour the bands of music engaged will report at the heads of their respective divisions. AT 9:30 A.M. The columns will be formed and ready to fall into line as follows: Grand Marshal and Staff on north side of M street, west of Seventh, right resting on Seventh. First Division - On M street, extending west, right resting on left of column of Aids. Second Division - On south side of M street, right resting on Sixth.

Sacramento Daily Record-Union Monday, July 5, 1880 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE SATURDAY'S FIRE - Saturday afternoon about 3 oíclock an alarm of fire was turned in at box 24, corner of Twelfth and G, caused by a fire which commenced in a small barn in the alley between Twelfth and thirteenth, F and G, belonging to police officer HARVEY, and communicated to one adjoining belonging to Mr. MARSHALL, and another on the opposite side of the alley owned by W.B.G. KELLER. The barn belonging to Mr. HARVEY cost $125 about one year ago, and with it he lost harness, hay, blankets, etc., making his total loss about $175. The shed next to it was entirely consumed, and the barn belonging to Mr. KELLER damaged to the about of $20. The probable total loss from the fire is not to exceed $250, upon which there was said to be no insurance. William GODDARD, of hose cart No. 2, was badly burned, and also his horse known as "Grant," which was occasioned by driving through the alley between the burning buildings to get the hose in position for action. The heat being intense the horse stopped and tried to escape through the opening in one of the buildings which were on fire, which was prevented by the driver jumping to the horseís head, and pulling him by with the bits. Mr. GODDARDís hands and face are badly blistered, and the horse was so much scorched that it will probably lose natureís covering, if nothing more serious. It is supposed the fire originated from fire crackers used by boys. ORGANIZED AND OFFICERS ELECTED - Trustees of the four Tribes of Imp.

BRIEF NOTES Fourth on the Fifth. The day we celebrate. No Police Court to-day. The riverís level was 20 feet 2 inches last evening. All the banks and principal business houses will be closed to-day. Donít fail to watch the Capitol dome this evening at 9 o'clock sharp. The City Free Library is closed for annual repairs till next Saturday morning. Poll-tax receipts are getting scarce and prices raising. They will cost $3 each on and after to-day. The ladies of the Sixth-street M.E. Church set tables for 4th of July dinner and lunch from 10 to 8 P.M. to-day. A call is published for all "Caledonians" - all Scotchmen - to meet at Pioneer Hall, at 8 oíclock this morning, to take part in the celebration. Governor PERKINS has commissioned J.W. CHAPMAN as a Commissioner of Deeds for the county of Suffolk, Mass., with his residence in the city of Boston. People from other places yesterday arrived in large numbers in this city to take part in the witness of the celebration to-day. Still large numbers will arrive to-day. A. CASSELLI is about to engage in a new business - a restaurant and chop house, to be known as the Campi Restaurant, and located at 216 J street. He promises choice fare. A large number of pencils have been sharpened in advance for chronicling celebration accidents to-day from boysí use of powder and pistols. Let them come in gently. Company ìB,î First Artillery, give a social banquet this evening at the State House, to be composed of the members and invited guests. Their reputation in connection with these annual banquets is sufficient for an enjoyable occasion. Willie BATEMAN, the little boy who was shot Friday evening in the back, by Georgie DUCK, was last night very restless from the wound, but inflammation has not thus far set in, and if it should not to any serious degree, he will probably soon recover. Georgie, although on $500 bonds for this shooting, was out upon the street again yesterday, with a pistol in hand, and celebrating as usual. DAMAGING CHARGE - Conrad SCHEPP was on Saturday arrested for misdemeanor by officer FREDERICKS. The offense with which he is charged is that of vending diseased meat and the facts in reference to which are stated by the complainant to be as follows: SCHEPP went to Center Township and there bought of Elisha DALEY two young cattle for $20,and a badly diseased cow, with swollen body and neck, was included in the price, with the understanding that her only value was in her hide. SCHEPP brought them home and it is alleged killed and sold the cow for beef, although pus issued from the neck and flesh when it was dressed. One-half of it is said to have been delivered to the Railroad Hospital upon a beef contract, and other portions were retailed out, some of which was returned with the complaint that something was the matter with it. Following our recent scare about something being found in the city water, there will probably be a large number now that wonít hanker for beef. Mr. SCHEPP says, however, that he is entirely innocent of the charge and that his arrest and prosecution has been prompted by unfriendly feelings towards him, and of course a discriminating public will suspend judgment and take their rations of beef-tea as usual until the case has been decided by the Court. CHIEFS RAISED UP - The following officers of Red Cloud Tribe No. 41, Imp. O.R.M., were raised up lat evening by District Deputy C.E. SPENCER: S., C.H. HOLTON, S. Sag., J.G. MILLER; J.Sag., W. LAING; C. of R., F.J. BIDWELL; K. of W., J.S. WATSON; Prophet, G.L. TAYLOR; First Son, J.A. PATTON; Second Son, Z.W. PAYNE; First W., O.N. CRONKITE; Second W., F.L. SMITH; Third W., F.T. DAVENPORT; Fourth W., R.H. BUCKINGHAM; First B., G.H. SMITH; Second B., J.O. HECTOR; Third B., T.P. SMITH; Fourth B., B.F. JOHNSON; G.of W., E. BURDOLT; G. of F., H. MORRIS; First P.W., E.C. HOPKINS; Second P.W., J.A. LAFFERTY. After this ceremony the Tribe adjourned to Fisherís banquet hall, where a bountiful collation was spread, and a general pow-wow indulged in, at the close of which the warriors returned to their squaws and pappooses, well satisfied with their eveningís entertainment. FAMILY JAR - On Saturday morning Joe AREAGA appeared at the police headquarters with a little four-months-old child in his arms, which, he stated, its mother (his wife) had abandoned, and also another little boy, about two years old. Upon this statement City Attorney ANDERSON filed a complaint of misdemeanor, and she was arrested by officers FERRAL and RIDER and taken to the station, where she now is with her children. Her version of the affair is that her husband beat her and finally drove her from the house at the point of the revolver, threatening her life if she didnít go. Itís possible thereís an incompatibility arising from mixing of nationalities, as he is of Spanish nativity and she of middle age, auburn temperament, and having happy memories of Erinís Isle. INSTALLATION I.O.F.S.I. - At a regular meeting of Sacramento Lodge No. 102, Independent Order Free Sons of Israel, held yesterday, the following officers were duly installed by Deputy Grand Master J.P.

FEIDHEIM; Warden, Ben BARNES; Inside Tyler, A.M. PLATO; Outside Tyler, S. STEIN. SERENADE - On Saturday evening the Capital City Minstrels tendered a complimentary serenade to Miss Fannie KARCHER, daughter of the Chief of Police, in honor of her approaching nuptials, to take place on the 7th instant, with a gentleman who was a member of the recent State Assembly. The occasion terminated in an enjoyable reception, and good things were bountifully bestowed. POLICE ARRESTS - Arrests were made Saturday as follows: Delia AREAGA, for misdemeanor, by officers RIDER and FERRAL; Conrad SCHEPP, misdemeanor, by officer FREDERICKS; Geo. D. ALLMOND, misdemeanor, by officer FREDERICKS; George BROWN, a drunk, by officer CAMPBELL.

While some good soul is doing these Marysville (lookups) I have an AMELIA REIMAN (RAYMOND OR HICKOK) around 1850+ . She was there as I have address of some downtown property she owned. I am really trying to find when she arrived in CA and the fact that she had a son, (child) that was supposedly killed by indians. Am looking for the facts on this child.

I recognized your connection within the Obit. One thing I would like to mention to the members of every genealogical list : The ARCHIVES of these lists are invaluable to researchers who have come to a point in their research where these bits of information [obituaries, weddings, funerals, anniversaries, birthdays] containing family names & places. So when we find them, be sure to share them on the lists to be archived for others to find. Not just the old ones, but the everyday ones; to continue the history of our families. We tend to forget that we are part of the history in the making. Besides, I find them to be interesting reading~! mema PS remember to trim your email tails~!

John A. Kester Died Hay Fork Valley Jan 4 1886; native of Missouri, aged about 47 yr; aka "Pony Kester"; shot by brother Josephus Kester.

Anita and everyone, Thank you for helping me find the divorce announcement I was looking for. It is the missing puzzle piece in the story of Heinrich and Sophie Janicke. I knew they had married in 1894 or 1895, but that they had arrived in the US around 1878 with five children.. I had found the birth records in Germany in the Mormon microfilm records. And none of them said the kids were illegitimate, yet the late marriage was very confusing. It all makes sense now. And I really enjoyed reading my father's obit from the Soledad Bee, which I wrote myself a little over a year ago. I hadn't read it in quite a while, and the memories brought tears to my eyes. I wrote an obit for the Walnut Creek paper, but the Soledad obit was much, much more interesting to work on. And they didn't charge me a penny to print it. I made it as historically and culturally interesting as I could, though in my rereading I did notice quite a few grammar points that could have been improved if I had been paying more attention. As for the divorce of my great-great-grandparents. Some of you may be intersted to know that they divorced to make it easier to prove up on the homestead. I think Sophie was doing all the work anyway, so she figured it should be official. The very day after the homestead was approved they remarried. And a few weeks later Heinrich died. ( I just made a really long story short, but I don't want to bore you all.) Thanks again to all of you. Marybeth Michaels
