Many thanks for all the help. I'm trying to knock down a brick wall and this helps. Karen

I would really appreciate it if someone could help with the following - Vital Search, Page:412, Ayers, Elizabeth, 1, 68, 90, ? for date of death and certificate number. I just can't read it clearly. Many thanks. Karen

Betty, Check with the California Room at the Packard Library in Marysville. In addition you should also check the Ramey index of Marysville newspapers. Four sides of my family were in Marysville before 1855 and I was raised there. Sorry I don't live there now so cannot do any lookups. Lots of great info in the library. Karen

Time span is 1905-1929. I can't read it very well either. It looks as though month and day are 10 and 17, and year of death may be 1910 and year filed also 1910. Age at death looks like 68. Do you have her birthdate? Certificate number may be 58708.

Possibly 10-17-1910 Do you know the year of her birth? Using her age at death and the year of death it would suggest she was born about 1842. ----- Original Message ----- From: kconnel@aol.com To: norcal@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, January 09, 2010 1:10 PM Subject: [NORCAL] Need help with Vital Search I would really appreciate it if someone could help with the following - Vital Search, Page:412, Ayers, Elizabeth, 1, 68, 90, ? for date of death and certificate number.

Marilyn - Here is some info I received when looking for George Erickson that also includes George Kunz. Janet From: "Bonnie Grant" <bonnieg@oldgrowth.com> Subject: Re: [NorCal] Trinity Co. - Natwick/Erickson family - murder case?

In 1882 and 1883, he acquired more land and soon became too big for George E. White. Ericson was soon subjected to every kind of abuse known to White's unscrupulous hirelings: his stock was run off, his fences were broken, and false charges of illicit distilling, sheep stealing, and misappropriation of wool were brought against him in the courts, which almost ruined him financially. But still he stayed and defied White and his henchmen. A man named Schappe was sent to shoot him but missed, and Ericson fired many bullets after the man, intentionally coming close to frighten him. Then Ericson was arrested on a charge of assault to murder, but the district attorney failed to "file an information," and the case was lapsed. Ericson refused to leave his claim thinking that he had finally outwitted White's gang." "In the early part of September, 1886, Ericson's riderless horse came out of the woods with saddle covered with blood. Some sheepherders who had heard shots found his body, which had been shot in the back from ambush. Ericson had friends, and Detective Lawson of San Francisco was employed on the case. He found evidence that John Norris, F. F. Torogdon, George Orr, Ben Arthur, and Deputy Sheriff George Kunz had subscribed $125 each to hire a man to kill Ericson. George Orr was selected, and the money was placed in Norris's hands, to be paid when earned. Orr and Kunz waited for Ericson on the trail, and Kunz killed him. Later, at the funeral, Kunz furnished the boards for Ericson's coffin and charged his family $250." "The men were taken to Weaverville, but only Kunz was held for the murder. In January, 1887, Kunz was sentenced to be hanged March 18, but his counselors appealed to the supreme court, which granted him a new trial set for August 1, 1888. In the new trial George Kunz was found not guilty of the murder of Ericson, and "thus ends the most important and costly trial($2500) ever held before the courts of Trinity County....and today his murderers walk the earth as free men." The newspaper's account of the trial ended with the following: "The two more monstrosities Orr and Norris confessed their complicity in the crime yet under the law the necessary amount of corroboration could not be obtained to secure a conviction. We do not usually advocate lynch law but we hope that if ever a similar case comes before courts that the people will take the matter into their own hands and not wait for the slow and uncertain process of the law." This is all I could find, hopefully someone else will have some information on the family for you. Good luck.

The Daily Bee Sacramento, Cal. Monday Evening, October 25, 1886 A DASTARDLY MURDER The Confession Made by One of the Parties Arrested How Erickson Was Killed by George H. Kuntz Following is the confession of ORR, one of the men arrested for the recent murder of Erickson: I have resided in Humboldt and Trinity counties for the past four years. I first met George H. KUNTZ on the 22d day of February, 1886, at a dance at DUNCAN's in Hetten Chow Valley. Kuntz invited me to visit his place, and I met him there last June. Kuntz was not at home when I got there, and I waited three or four days until he returned. We went out on a hunting trip, and then Kuntz told me his hired man was going to quit. I asked him for the job, and he told me to come and try it awhile. I brought my wife to the ranch after awhile. During this time Kuntz hinted points toward ERICKSON continually. About three weeks after my arrival there Kuntz said that a man could get $500 or more to kill Erickson. I asked him if a man did kill Erickson would he get the money. I said that, if caught, a man would have to spend $500 to clear himself. Kuntz said he would spend $500 to keep him out of jail. In July, during the trial of Erickson, Kuntz talked more freely. ABOUT DISPOSING OF ERICKSON On July 4th I told him I would get away with his man. Kuntz said I could do it nicely, and mapped out everything clear to me, and said there was a party who would give me $500 or more. He would not tell me who the party was. Kuntz was to stand by me. I told my wife about it. She was very decisive in her "no." About the middle of August Kuntz went to Weaverville to attend the Erickson trial. While he was absent I went to Hettenchow to get a girl, but did not get one. My wife told me Kuntz was mad because I took a house. I told her he could go to hall. I had the blues and intended to quit. I told Kuntz I was going to quit, and he told me he would give me $50 per month for the time I was with him if I could stay. Continuing, he said if somebody got away with Erickson he would get the $500 for me - that is, PROVIDING I DID NOT BLOW ON HIM. I said I would stay. He enjoined me to say nothing to my wife. On Monday, September 6th, I went to Trogden's. While passing Erickson's I saw him and his men packing up the train. I went inside the corral and spoke to the men, and went as far as Trogden's with the train. When I returned I told Kuntz Erickson's pack train had come up Mad river. On Tuesday morning, the day Erickson was killed, Kuntz and I got up early and started up the Van Duzen river hunting. When we got to the first cabin Kuntz got off his horse and asked me for my boots. I gave them to him and took his shoes. He said he wanted to go up the mountain and start something, and told me to work on a fence until his return. "If anybody comes along, tell them Kuntz has started something." Kuntz returned at 5 o'clock, and we exchanged boots. He said he had done well. I asked him what. He did not answer my question, but asked me how he looked. I said he looked as though he had shot a bear. I then asked him if he shot a bear. "NO," HE SAID, "I SHOT ERICKSON." Kuntz then said, that when he fired the first shot Erickson threw up his head and halloaed, and went but a short distance. Kuntz and I went home. When we rode up to the house of Johnnie COTTIE and my wife were there. Cottie said Erickson was dead over there in the gulch. "Come over as quick as you can." "Who said Erickson was shot?" I asked. Cottie said no one said so, but that he thought so. Kuntz ate a big supper. After supper we went to where the body was. On Tuesday night, while in bed, I said to Kuntz: "Well, Kuntz, you did it." He replied: "When I pulled the trigger the buck fell." On Wednesday night Kuntz told me that he fired three or four shots as a blind, to make people believe it was a bad shot who did the work. On Thursday Erickson was buried. Kuntz attended the funeral. While in the barn that night Kuntz told me to get away with my boots, as BROWN had the nail-marks. I threw them away in the brush. The rifle Kuntz used was a Winchester, 44-caliber. After Orr made this statement detective LAWSON engaged him to write notes to Kuntz, but the latter let nothing escape him that was convicting. There was a plot to have several of the witnesses pledge themselves by swearing that Orr did the shooting. Reno Evening Gazette (Reno, Nevada) 1887 January 25 George Knuz has been found guilty, at Weaverville, Trinity county, Cal, of the murder of George Erickson, last fall. The verdict of the jury calls for death by hanging. ----- Original Message ----- From: <marilyn2@infionline.net> To: <norcal@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 1:22 PM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] George Erickson > Does anyone hae any more information on George Kunz who is mentioned in > this article.

I don't have any information on George Kunz himself, but we have a number of Kinz buried in Sacramento's Historic City Cemetery. If you would like their info you can go to GOOGLE & put in Sacramento City Cemetery & when it comes up hit the bar that says "Burial Index". From their you should be able to scroll to Kunz. marilyn in Sacramento ________________________________ From: "marilyn2@infionline.net" <marilyn2@infionline.net> To: norcal@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, January 8, 2010 1:22:31 PM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] George Erickson Does anyone hae any more information on George Kunz who is mentioned in this article.

BIRTH -- McCREARY -- Near Excelsior, Kings county, Cal., March 30, to the wife of Wm. McCREARY, a daughter. BIRTH -- BLEVINS -- In Hanford, March 31st, to the wife of James BLEVINS, a son. [from Local Paragraphs column] -- The father of R.H. MYERS, the attorney formerly of this city, died in Los Angeles last Wednesday. He had for several months been suffering from paralysis and his death was deemed only a matter of days or hours. ------------------------------------------------------- A SELMA MURDER -- T.B. BALTHROP Killed the Traducer of His Wife's Character - The Dead Man Made a Statement that He Wronged the Woman and Regretted the Scandal He Had Made - [transcriber note -- from the article, it appears the heading is incorrect in the name of who did the killing] The shooting was the result of a scandal, which has been the subject of investigation by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. BALTHROP and Mrs. G.F. JORDAN had been engaged in conducting a restaurant there. JORDAN and his wife have been living apart, and Mrs. JORDAN had commenced a suit in the Superior Court against her husband for a decree of divorce. In conversation with different persons here [Selma], BALTHROP, it is alleged, made serious charges against Mrs. JORDAN. Mrs. JORDAN is a member of the Presbyterian Church. A member of the church preferred charges against Mrs. JORDAN, implicating some of the leading society men in the scandal. The church had the matter on trial last Tuesday afternoon and evening, the day previous to the murder, with closed doors. The charges against Mrs. JORDAN were not sustained, and the church court completely exonerated her. The pastor signed a written pledge agreeing to publicly vindicate her from the pulpit next Sunday morning. Wednesday, the restaurant had been closed and POWELL, the cook, went to the residence of Mrs. JORDAN's husband, south of town and told him of the sensational talk about his wife. POWELL induced JORDAN to come to town to defend his wife from calumny. JORDAN armed himself and came to town. He saw BALTHROP on the sidewalk, in front of KIBOURN's drug store. JORDAN jumped out and accosted BALTHROP and a quarrel ensued. BALTHROP struck at JORDAN, who had his 44 calibre pistol in his hand at the time. BALTHROP stepped back into the drug store, and as he did so, JORDAN pulled his pistol, took deliberate aim and fired. BALTHROP fell to the doorway dead, with a bullet in his heart. As he fell he drew his revolver from his pocket, and it fell out of his hand. JORDAN was immediately placed under arrest, and was taken to the County Jail at Fresno. The coroner was notified and an inquest was held the same night. BALTHROP was a brother of J.W. BALTHROP of the firm of BALTHROP & ESTEY, grocers, at Selma. The deceased formerly resided in Visalia, where he was well known. He was in the saloon business there. Wednesday evening's issue of the 'Irrigator,' printed a few hours after the shooting occurred, contained the following statement by the deceased: "I wish to acknowledge to the public that certain statements alleged to have been made by me derogatory to the character of Mrs. JORDAN, and which have been generally circulated to the injury of both Mrs. JORDAN and myself, were and are unqualifiedly false. Such statements, if made at all by me, were made about 14 months ago, and I declined to make any denial of such statements to the church committee last Monday because I entertained the mistaken idea that the best way to hush the matter up was to refuse to make any statement. I had, however, previously, denied that there was any truth in the statements reported to have been made by me. "I regret that I have been instrumental in causing any such scandal, and am willing to consent to any equitable and fair arrangement which will satisfy Mrs. JORDAN. "I do not wish to be understood as questioning the veracity of the persons who reported that I made to them such statements concerning Mrs. JORDAN, but I do say that I have no recollection of having made such statements I was at the time under the influence of liquor and did not know what I was saying, and further that such statements, if made by me, were and are untrue. T.B. BALTHROP" ------------------------------------------------------ FESTIVE ATTORNEY GRADY -- He Has Another Exciting Escapade -- A Divorce Suit the Result -- W.D. GRADY, a Fresno attorney who is well known in Tulare and Kings County as well as in Fresno, is again in the public view in an unenviable light, as the following telegram from Fresno, dated last Monday shows: At 1 o'clock today a boisterous encounter took place on the platform of the Pullman car which runs between Fresno and San Francisco and occupies a side track here during the day. The participants were W.D. GRADY and Leon HART, a clerk in a clothing store. HART demanded admittance and GRADY threatened to kill him if he entered. While they were fighting at one end of the car Mrs. HART was seen to run from the car at the other end and disappear. Railroad men separated GRADY and HART. The story is that GRADY and Mrs. HART have been sene to visit this car on many occasions. Yesterday they visited it again, and a private detective, or some one acting for HART, went to the store and informed him, and he ran to the car with the above result. Mrs. HART is a handsome woman, about 22 years old. She and her husband were married 6 years ago. Within 1 hour after the encounter HART began preparations for a divorce by hunting witnesses, and he found plenty of them. The injured husband is about 26 years old, and is a clerk in Hart & Levy's clothing store. GRADY dropped out of sight and it is said that he left on the next train for Los Angeles. ------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -J.E.

Approximately 177,000 official military personnel files from the Air Force were recently transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration, making the historical documents part of the public record. As Air Force personnel files continue to reach maturity at 62 years, they will be transferred to national archives ownership. The ownership of these records by the National Archives now makes them open to the public. While the Privacy Act no longer applies to archival records, exemptions of the Freedom of Information Act continue to protect the personal privacy of the members and their families and Social Security numbers are redacted before release. For more information and to request copies of records from the National Archives, visit the National Archives' eVetRecs website. (source: Military Report, Military.com)
