SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD – CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1921 SAD HOME COMING Mrs. L. L. Turner returned last week from Seattle where she was called by the illness and death of her mother. Mrs. Turner left her to attend the Grand Chapter of O.E.S., which convened at Santa Cruz on Oct. 18th, and on her arrival at San Francisco, enroute to Santa Cruz, she received a wire conveying the news that her mother was critically ill, and she left at once to be at her bedside, but before her arrival there her mother passed away. The Record joins in extending sympathy to Mrs. Turner in her sad bereavement. NOT TO BE PITIED Howard Hedgepeth is carrying around a mighty sore nose these days, caused by said proboscis coming in contact with a stick of wood. When we inquired how it happened he told us to go to that place paved with good intentions – and that place wasn’t Alturas, either. However, we haven’t a bit of sympathy for him. Any man who will butt into a woman’s job of splitting wood ought to have his nose peeled. So, there, now. Under the supervision of Tel Strief, a new concrete bridge was completed on the lower road to Lake City. It is thirty feet in length and will stand for all time. Forest Adams left last week for Reno, where he goes for medical treatment for his hand, which he cut severely sometime ago. Mrs. May Larsen and Miss Amy Hayes left last Sunday for Elko, the former returning to her home after visiting her parents here, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hayes, and the former will visit in Nevada for a time. A. L. Page returned last week from Marysville country and will spend a few weeks before returning there for the winter. He was accompanied home by his granddaughter, Miss Thelma Page. Deputy Sheriff Harrington and Jesse Rice returned last Sunday from Napa, where they went to take Vernie Delashmutt to the insane asylum. They landed the afflicted man there without any serious trouble, but several times, he became somewhat obstreperous. It may be that with proper treatment the demented man will recover. It is said that some years ago, his head was mashed, and it is thought that if the pressure of the skull upon the brain was removed that he would regain his reason. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1921 DESERVES BEST OF TREATMENT Ellis Adams, who with his father, Grant Adams, has been conducting a blacksmith shop here, last week sold out his interest to Everett Wilson, the cause for selling being ill health. Ellis was one of the lion-hearted, red blooded and patriotic sons of America and was one of the very first to volunteer his service to his country in this valley and was with the American army in France for more than a year and participated in seven battles, two of which were the battles of the Marne and Argonne. While we were enjoying ourselves in comfort able homes and sleeping in downy beds, he was wading through mud and slush, going through hell that accompanies warfare, and in doing that, his health was undermined. The effect of ill health was slow at first, but gradually grew worse until he was unable to do his work, and now expects to soon enter the Letterman or some other government hospital. He is a steady young man of exemplary habits and as a just reward for his patriotism and heroic actions on the battlefields, the American government should leave nothing undone to restore him to perfect health. Mrs. Lem Toney and Mrs. Carpenter left Monday for Gerlach, where they will visit for a while. Mrs. Blanche Cannon and Mrs. Robert McCulley left Monday morning for Los Angeles, where they will spend the winter. John Stewart came in from Long Valley last week for a few days, where he had been working on the reservoir site at Massacre Lake. Cal Kennedy has purchased the mercantile business from Frank Leventon of Bieber and will conduct a large store there in the future. Nevada has quarantined against California cattle being brought into her territory, owing to the fact that several cases of tuberculosis have developed in California after being brought into Nevada. A large crowd was present at the Dedication of the Lake City Schoolhouse last Friday night and a most enjoyable time was had, we are informed. Lake City now has as nice a school as any in the county, and large enough to accommodate all the pupils in that district. Thomas Sizer and wife expect to leave here tomorrow morning on their way to visit Mr. Sizer’s old home in England. It is thirty-five years since he left there and will no doubt see many changes. They expect to be absent about three months and their many friends here wish them a pleasant journey and safe return home. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 39, 1921 MARRIED Last Sunday, November 27th, Miss Dorothy Denehy and William Smith hied themselves to Alturas, where they were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock. The groom is a recent arrival here and is a young man of pleasing appearance and exemplary habits. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Denehy, of this place, and is one of the most popular young ladies and her many warm friends extend hearty congratulation to the newly weds and wish them all the happiness and prosperity possible while traveling over the rugged pathway of life. Mrs. W. L. Turner left last Monday for San Francisco. Born – At Lake City, Cal., November 16, 1921, to the wife of Roy Hobbs, a daughter. Mrs. Sarah Shartel and niece, Mrs. Huldah Dickson left Monday for the lower country to spend the winter. News was received here last week of the death of Hugh McCarthy, a mining man well known here, in Arizona. The case of Hutchinson vs. Sweeney will commence in the Superior Court at Alturas on December 14th, and a venery of jurors have been drawn for that purpose. Married – At Alturas, Cal., Wm Granada of Alturas to Miss Jeanne Budorre, of Cedarville, Cal., Wednesday, November 23, 1921. Rev. Father O’Reilly, officiating. Attorney B. B. Robinson and son, Cressler, left Monday for San Francisco. Mr. R. will return in a few days, but Cressler will attend school at Oakland during the winter. Roy Hafer, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hafer, of Alturas, died at that place last Friday morning, death resulting from pneumonia brought on by an attack of the flu. The Record joins with many friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved family. Frank Lane, an old resident of Lakeview was found dead, pinned under his automobile, one day last week, north of Lakeview. It is thought that he was stricken with heart failure while driving the machine, causing it to run off the bridge and turning over with him. Somebody burglarized the Record’s kitchen while we were away last Monday, but evidently took compassion on us when they saw the empty condition of our larder and left us a big lot of fine spareribs on the table. It filled a long felt want, and the burglar, whoever it was, has our thanks. And now come Fulton Heard, a man of good business ability, a good hoss trader and one of the best judges of blooded hogs in the county, and he goes to meddling’ with women’s work and cuts a deep gash in his left wrist a few days ago while splitting wood. If he’d followed our ad- aw, what’s the use; the doctors have got to live, anyway. Mrs. Emile Bogert, of this place went to Reno last week, where she was granted a decree of divorce from Guy Bogert, and on the 22nd inst., was married to Harry O. Hughes, of Reno. The friends of the contracting parties extend congratulations and wish them happiness and success. They will make their home at the Smalls ranch, which they have leased. Frank Kerr and wife left Wednesday, via Alturas, for San Francisco. ________________________________ Please reply to: Billie Reynolds r3346@dcsi.net ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
