"I recall that in the early 1890's there was but one democrat at the valley and he was elected as a delegate to the county convention of his party, his credentials reading about as follows, "This is to certify that at a democratic primary election held in Middle Valley precinct, John J. Reavis was duly elected a delegate to the domocratic county convention to be held at Sauria on the ....day of October 189.." John J. Reavis, Chairman John J. Reavis, Secretary" :-) *Barb
