SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD, CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1936 EXPECTED HOME SOON B. B. Robinson, who for the past three weeks has been recovering from an operation in the Redding hospital, will be able to return to his home in Cedarville within the coming week. Mr. Robinson is greatly improved at this writing. LAKE CITY NEWS Raspberries are beginning to ripen in this locality. There will be a heavy crop here this year. The cherry crop is very light and robins are taking what cherries there are. "Buster" Carter has been nursing a case of the shingles for the past two weeks. It seems to us a carpenter would know shingles belong on a roof instead of the body. Ha! LAKE CITY COUPLE ARE MARRIED Mr. Kenneth Weidner and Miss Leona Hamilton surprised their many friends here last Tuesday by going over to Judge Franklin’s and making a life contract. The "tin can brigade" followed them to the Justice’s office and were witnesses to the ceremony. After the serenade the crowd were treated to candy. Kenneth is the son of Mrs. Luther Vernon and is well known here; his bride is a relative of Mrs. William Heard and has made her home at the heard residence for about eighteen months. Both have many friends here, who wish them a world of happiness. They have taken up their residence in the Streif house, just east of the church and are now at home to their friends. MOVE TO FORT BIDWELL Mr. and Mrs. John Reynolds and Mrs. Elizabeth Miller moved to Bidwell first of the week, where they will reside in the future. John is taking charge of the new butcher shop recently opened at that place by W. H. Hussa, of the Surprise Valley Meat Market. BROKEN ARMS During the past two weeks, there has been, what we might call, an epidemic of broken arms and dislocated shoulders in Surprise Valley and Lake City seems to be the center of the epidemic. Little Marie Garrett suffered a broken arm a short time ago when she fell; the small son of Cornelius Steward also broke his arm in a fall and last week, Sam Sweeney dislocated his shoulder bone. Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Miller, were in from "Home Camp" Ranch, Nevada, Monday, to attend the funeral of Mrs. Miller’s grandfather, I. D. Royce. (4:1) Mrs. John Spalding and Mrs. Al Byerle of Susanville are visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Bush, of this place, this week.
