SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1920 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Culton, former residents of this place but now of Santa Rosa, arrived here last week for a couple weeks visit to friends in the valley. The dismantling of the evaporator building is now being done by W. A. Hussa, who has purchased it and will move it to his ranch where it will be rebuilt and used for a milking barn. Thus has passed into history another one of the attempts to develop the valley and put its products in a shape to ship to outside markets. A large number of Indians were here last week attending the Fair from as far distant as Klamath Falls and Fall River valley. Some of them sport automobiles, were expensively dressed and evidently a higher class than our native Piutes. But they are all just common injun when it comes to gambling and while here, they rolled them high but we did not learn which tribe was victorious. Born At Eagleville, October 4th to the wife of Lust Hill, a daughter. Ed Jones was here several days during the past week has returned to Ashland where they now reside. Sam Johnstone suffered a slight stroke of paralysis last Saturday but is improving. Miss Charlotte Jones, of Oakland will take charge of the services at the M. E. Church next Sunday evening if the new pastor is not here. She is not the missionary. Everybody is invited to come. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Dunlap will leave for Texas one day this week where they expect to locate. While we who know them best, regret losing them, our best wishes for their success follow them up. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1920 AGED LADY DIES Many descendants are left to mourn for Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Schaffer, whose death occurred Sunday, Oct. 3, in Sparks, at the age of 80 years. Mrs. Schaffer was a native of Ohio. For the last twenty years she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Odermatt of Sparks. Her other surviving children include Mrs. Emma Addington, of Cedarville, Cal., L. Schaffer of Fallon and Frank Schaffer of Boise City, Idaho. She was the grandmother of forty-two persons, the great grandmother of twenty-nine and the great-great grandmother of seven. She was a resident of Reno for twenty-nine years, her husband being James Schaffer. Born Near Cedarville, Cal., Oct. 10, 1920, to the wife of Jake Rechsteiner, a daughter A. L. Page and wife left last week for the lower country where they will spend the winter. Their many friends wish them a pleasant visit and safe return. While returning to Westwood from here last Monday the Ford carrying a bunch of band boys turned over, breaking the leg of Harry McNally just above the knee. Some of the other boys were slightly injured. A. D. Gerig of the Susanville Marble and granite Works was here last week in the interest of his business. He is a former resident of this valley and it still has a warm place in his heart. Read his ad elsewhere in this issue. During the fair here we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Bowers, of Westwood, who entertained the audience at the Band Concert with beautiful vocal selections, which was heartily enjoyed and loudly applauded. The Doctor is also a good booster. E. G. Scammon, who for many years has been with the Red River Lumber Company, left Westwood with the intention of attending the Fair here last week, but was taken sick at Alturas and unable to come over. He has many friends here who are glad to meet him. Cy Drouillard returned from Inyo County last week with an auto and driver and went on out East. Cy knows every rock pile in this county part and evidently has something up his sleeve, as he is a first class prospector. He did not say what he was looking for, but we hope he will find it. Mrs. Nora Stephens, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Page of Eagleville, died at Alturas last Monday evening. Her parents were wired for and arrived at her bedside before she passed away. She was highly esteemed by all who knew her and her many friends sincerely grieve with the bereaved husband and parents.
