SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD – CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1921 E. J. Bruce, who formerly lived here, but for the past five or six, has been living in Kansas, arrived here last week on a short visit. He says that he is still traveling in single harness. Auble Keeney came up from Adin last week on a visit to his mother, Mrs. Maud Keeney. Mrs. B. P. Dollarhide returned last week from French Camp, near Stockton, where she took her mother, Mrs. Howe, and placed her in a hospital at that place for medical care and treatment. Mrs. Howe has long been a sufferer from cancer on the face, and there no hopes for her recovery, but everything is being done to make her comfortable as possible as life’s day declines. A bright light at the north end of town last week indicated that a fire was in progress, but on investigation it was found that the luminous rays was only the reflection of the smile on Billy Fenwick’s face, caused by the news that he was now a grand-dad to a bouncing baby boy being born to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Dachner, of Marysville, July 18th. Burton Spalding, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wib Spalding of this place, arrived here last Friday from Marysville on a short visit to his parents, and returned Monday. H. W. Stephens arrived here Saturday from the St. Helena Sanitarium, where he has been taking treatment, and says that his health is somewhat improved. Mr. E. E. Woodson, of Los Angeles, who accompanied by his wife, is visiting Ben L. Johnson, presented the Record family with a generous supply of venison last Friday, and the tender juicy steaks were heartily appreciated. Mr. Woodson was here last fall and bagged a big buck and came back this year to duplicate the act, which he did in short order, bringing down a whopping big six pointer buck. Married – At Hilo, Hawaii, August 14, 1921, Miss Ethel Burgun, formerly of this County, to Frank I. Martin of Los Angeles. Both are teachers on the Island. Born – At Lake City, Cal., August 26, 1921, to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. Strief, a seven-pound boy. Mother and Babe are getting along nicely; but Sam is reported to be a total wreck. Mrs. Mema, a dusky lady of the Golden West, and chief factotum in the laundry work around town, went up to Bidwell last week to attend the fair and while there met a noble red man of the forest that had been married to and separated sometime ago, and they were remarried. Died – At Alturas, Cal., September 5, 1921, Lemuel, little son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Ballard, aged about five years. WEDDING BELLS MARRIED – At Alturas, Cal., September 3, 1921, Miss Pearl Thomas to Elmer Slippy. MARRIED – At Alturas, Cal., September 3, 1921, Miss Bess Spalding to Leslie Hayes, both of this place. MARRIED – At Alturas, Cal., September 3, 1921, Miss Irene Harris to Ernest E. Grove. (The paper reports the marriage took place September 31, 1921) All of the above newly weds are popular young people of Modoc County, and the record, along with a host of warm friends, wish them all a long life of unalloyed happiness and unbounded prosperity. The Adin Argus states that Park Johnson cut the back of his left hand badly last week while splitting wood. Well, we ain’t got a bit of sympathy for a man that will rush in and take a woman’s job away from her. While a woman can’t hit the side of a barn fifteen feet away with a rock, she is an artist with an axe, and you never see one limping around on crutches with a foot half hacked off, or going around with her arm in a sling and nursing a hamburger steak on the end of it, which shows that spitting wood is essentially her job. Too bad, park, but it serves you right. ________________________________ Please reply to: Billie Reynolds r3346@dcsi.net ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
