BIG VALLEY GAZETTE – BIEBER, LASSEN COUNTY, CAL. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1906 DEATH OF MRS. A. SMITH The news of the death of Mrs. A. Smith, which occurred yesterday at 10:30 o’clock a.m., falls like a pall over our community. The suddenness of her demise comes as a shock and grief is written on every face. Sorrow has entered the home where but a few short days ago, all was happiness and sadder still when an infant five days old is left to never know the tender care of a mother. But God, in his infinite wisdom, has saw fit to remove this loved one from her family and friends, therefore, we bow to His inexorable will. The cause of death was blood poison and despite medical aid and tender nursing, the spirit winged its way to that bourne, from whence no traveler returns. Lorinda L. Smith was aged 45 years and 26 days and was born in Williamette Valley, Linn County, OR, and with her parents moved to this valley 37 years ago. On September 25, 1881, she was married to A. Smith, who survives her and to them nine children were born, eight of whom are living; Richard, Ernie, Mrs. S. D. Begley, Nora, Robert, Bula, Clayton and the infant daughter. Also left to mourn her death is an aged father and mother and eight brothers and sisters. She died believing implicitly in the Christian faith and her charitable, loving disposition will ever remain a solace to the grieved ones. The remains will be interred in the Hillside cemetery tomorrow, after a short service at the residence leaving for the cemetery promptly at 9 o’clock. The sympathy of all goes out to the grief stricken husband and children, in this, their darkest hour.

Hi List. I involved with a Vietnam website for Oregon. http://facesfromthewall.com/ORindex.html. Steve Jacobson and I have been working to identify the men from Oregon by Picture, Obituary, or Remembrance. http://facesfromthewall.com/OR1967may.html I live in Washington State and can visit the UW campus and use their microfilm records to pull obits from The Oregonian. However UW doesn't carry other Oregonian papers in their archives. I need some help from people in the Eugene area that would use the microfilm newspapers available at University of Oregon. In September 2005 Eugene will have one of the Traveling Walls visit. I would like to be able to have a presentation of the local boys for the visitors to the Wall. If this is a genealogy job you would like to help with or you got a Boy Scout who needs an Eagle Project, Please let me know.

Sacramento Bee Monday, May 20, 1918 BOND SLACKER LEAVES Owner of 1,100-Acre Glenn County Farm Sells and Leaves For Unknown Destination WILLOWS (Glenn Co.), May 20 - Newton PETERMAN, who was placed on a boycott list by the Willows War Work League and Willows merchants for refusing to buy more than $600 worth of Liberty Bonds, has moved with his furniture and family to parts as yet unknown. His ranch of approximately 1,100 acres he sold to E.E. WILARD, formerly of Portland. When it became known that Peterman had $13,000 in the bank and had bought only a $100 bond and was not a member of the Red Cross and had refused to join the War Work League, he was waited upon by a special committee, which persuaded him to invest another $500 in bonds. He refused to take any more of the bonds, and offered to leave the county if it was the wish of the community. His offer was accepted, and a resolution to boycott him passed by the league.

If you are or know of any one who is a PENLEY or has a PENLEY relative, PLEASE contact me. I am trying to up-date a PENLEY genealogy that has a number of PENLEY descendants of Joseph 1 PENLY who was b 1755 in England and arrived in Freeport, ME in 1770. Joseph is a Rev War patriot. Joseph 1 was 1m 1780 to Esther 5 FOGG JOHNSON, widow of Joshua JOHNSON, by whom she had 2 daus, Esther and Elizabeth JOHNSON. Esther was a descendant of Samuel 1 FOGG who was in Hampton, NH in the mid 1600's. Joseph and Esther had 10 ch before Esther d in 1796. Joseph 2m 1797 Thankful MOODY and they had 6 children. Joseph died in 1844 and was buried beside Penley Corner Church which is 3 miles south of Auburn, ME. During the 1940's - 1970's, Rev Robert Irving 6 PENLEY did a tremendous amount of research on the ancestors in England and the descendants of Joseph 1 PENLY. Some lines were brought up to as late as the 1950's, but some lines are not followed beyond the mid 1850's when a number of descendants left ME for MA and beyond. Another descendant and I are working to find and bring as many of these lines as up-to-date as possible. If you have or know of anyone who is a PENLY / PENLEY or has a PENLY / PENLEY relative, PLEASE contact me with as much of the direct PENLEY line as you have, clearly identifying the earliest known PENLEY ancestor, so we can work together to bring as many lines as possible as up-to-date as possible. This summer marks the 250th anniversary of Joseph 1 PENLY's birth and we would like to have as much data as possible ready for our annual Reunion at 2 PM on July 10th (2nd Sun in July) at Penley Corner Church, Auburn, ME. Most grateful for any additions, corrections, or help with any PENLEY connections. Janice

I am not sure what the meaning is. It is my understanding that it was named by the local indians at that time and was originally an indian village. That is about all I know.
