8. “Fine Opportunity For Spinsters”:
Border News Named Colebrook’s Most Eligible Bachelors In 1932“This is Leap Year,” the Border News noted, “and we have some suggestions for the widows and maids of Colebrook and vicinity as to the selection of a mate to go with them down the pathway of life. We have attempted to describe a partial list of available widowers and single men.” The newspaper concluded by instructing, “So take notice, spinsters, look the list over and pick out your victim for the adventure of Love Land.”
John Sutton
Hunter, fisherman, camper and all ’round sportsman.
Not bad to look at.The above listing was published in the middle of the Great Depression. An unnamed member of the local clergy was so concerned about town men’s efforts being turned to finances rather then love that he weighed in at the end of the article, noting: “All this talk of Depression has added to male diffidence. There has been a deplorable fall in the marriage rate.” His advice? “By all means, young women should take advantage of Leap Year to do the proposing themselves.”
The inventory included over 90 gentlemen and listed them as a sort of shopping list for lonely hearted local ladies.

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF
Columbia,
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 19507. Viola Harding Sutton, born in 1908, has lived most her life in or near Colebrook, New Hampshire. She is a retired first grade teacher who started her career in a one-room schoolhouse at age 16. For many years she ran Sutton Place, a guest house on Main Street in Colebrook. She is known locally as an accomplished dressmaker, quilter, and crocheter. Following retirement from teaching in 1970 she began painting. Her still lifes and landscapes grace the homes of family, friends, and patrons. Throughout her life she wrote many poems--some for special occasions, some to express her feelings at the time. A number of these poems were collected in a book published by her daughter Lucille in San Francisco in 1998.
On July 22, at 7 pm at the Congregational Church in Colebrook, New Hampshire, a special performance of The Belle of Amherst will be dedicated to this remarkable woman's legacy. Organized by actor Renee Bucciarelli in partnership with the Great North Woods Center for the Arts, and with the generous help of the Congregational Church, Viola Sutton's paintings will be displayed and some of her poems read following the performance of The Belle of Amherst. This event is free to the public, with a suggested donation to benefit the GNWCA. (http://www.fraj.com/belleofamherst/sutton.html)ONE LEAF
by Viola SuttonIf I can be one leaf upon this tree of life Significant, sharing with the masses-- the wind, sun, strife-- That comes with battling the breeze Clinging to keep my place-- never with ease-- A spot of color added to make one beauteous sight Gracefully holding my own-- what is right-- I'll fill a tiny space, small, but important--yes-- No one will notice, but I will bless the branch that grew for me-- That made it possible for me to see The world in all its wonder-- Lightning, clouds breaking asunder into rain-- And the sun, the night, the morning, noon,-- and a day is done-- Until the elements become greater than me And I will fall to rise again with Thee.
-- unpublished, 19708. Poem: The Broken Heart
One heart full of love
Divided in one straight line -
One on a side - a girl, Lucille, on one.
The other, Charles, on the other,
loved the same.
Then crash, atom-like, the one half
Parted to include Elaine
My heart is full - no room for more.
But soon a Carolyn appeared
To find her place -
A bright-eyed girl
My heart - I'm sure it skipped a beat.
What now! Oh No!
This is beyond hope -
A grandson - Charles -
One blue-eyed boy -
Oh, darling - you, too,
Have a part of my Heart -
Oh, What a Joyful
Broken Heart !9. 1999: Programs sponsored by the library this past year: ... Former first grade teacher, Viola Sutton held a book signing in November, introducing her new book of poetry. Kathi McGraw, dressed in period attire, promoted her new book "Replace the Turf from Whence it was Hacked", a reminiscence of Victorian Resort life and the beginnings of golf on the east side of the White Mountains.(Town of Colebrook Annual Report, March 1999)
10. Boston Post Cane A History of The Boston Post Cane In 1909, a circulation-boosting campaign launched by Boston Post publisher Edwin Grozier started a tradition that is still being followed throughout New England. Mr. Grozier came into possession 431 walking canes, which were made of black ivory and tipped with 24-carat rolled gold heads. Mr. Grozier had the canes mailed out to 431 towns throughout New England (with the exception of Connecticut, where the Post did not circulate), and the selectmen of each town were entrusted with the task of awarding the cane to their town's eldest male citizen, to be passed upon his death to his successor. On the head of each cane was stamped, "The Boston Post Cane," and, "To the oldest resident of Colebrook." The Post wrote that the men who held the canes would "present an interesting Galaxy of the vigor and longevity of New England manhood." with each presentation of the canes, the Post would run a story and photograph of the recipient, in hopes that the man's friends and fellow townspeople would buy the newspaper. The stories usually consisted of an interview with the recipient, in which he would attribute his longevity to either abstention from alcohol and tobacco, or daily use of them. The first man to receive a Boston Post cane was Solomon Talbot, age 95, of Sharon, Mass., and in 1930 the rules governing passage of the cane were expanded to include women. The publicity stunt that brought about the cane passing tradition apparently didn't work, as production of the Post ceased in 1956. According to research conducted by Eleanor Burns of Dorchester, Mass., most of the Boston Post canes are still being passed along as originally intended. Some have vanished over the years, either lost in closets or attics, taken out of New England when families moved, burned in fires or buried with the holders. Mrs. Burns has made a hobby of keeping up on the locations of the canes, and has been able to find 400 of them. in two instances, the families refused to give the canes up, and in one or two other cases, Mrs. Burns believes the present cane is a substitute. Her research does prove, however, that most New England towns are still carrying on the tradition of passing along the Boston Post Canes according to Mr. Grozier's wishes.
Information in this history derived from Newspaper Row, copyright 1987 by Herbert Kenny Colebrook Colebrook presents its original Boston Post cane ceremonially. the holder is given a plaque with an inscription about the cane. You may see the cane at the Town offices on display in a glass case. First recipient: David Noyes, 91 The oldest citizen of Colebrook, David Noyes was born in 1818 at Columbia, where he received his schooling. Later, he moved to Colebrook. Mr. Noyes was married twice and has 12 children, none of whom are living. Always an industrious and energetic man, Mr. Noyes has been a successful farmer his entire life. Despite his advanced age he has the appearance of a man of 70 years and enjoys good health. He believes his longevity is due to a clear conscience, payment of his bills and voting for 70 years the democratic party. (Boston Post, 10/31/1909)
Mr. Noyes married first Lucy Walling and had 11 children; his second marriage was to Mrs. Sarah Rowell and they were parents to three children, making him father to 14 children. Mr. Noyes has been a life long Democrat, and is at this age quite a politician. (The Berlin Reporter, 9/23/1909.) Mr. Noyes was born January 16, 1818, the son of Samuel Noyes. He died on March 4, 1915. For further information on the Boston Post Cane, you may wish to read "The Granite State's, Boston Post Canes, A New England Tradition" by Barbara Staples.

Remembering Viola Sutton
(photo)
Many people found themselves thinking this week back to when they first met the multi-talented Viola Sutton. Some were as students when she was their teacher. For us, it was Viola the artist who we first came to know. We were covering an art show at the First Colebrook Bank for the county newspaper and Viola was the artist in the spotlight. A number of years later, in 1998, we were on hand at the Colebrook Library covering a book signing by Viola for her new book on poetry. We were always struck by the charm and sincerity in which she spoke on a wide range of topics. Viola was an engaging conversationalist very tuned into the world around her. Our favorite times with Viola were about 1989. We had just started our monthly magazine, then named Coös Magazine, and Viola called us up to pay us what we took as the ultimate compliment: it reminded her of a North Country version of LIFE Magazine in its heyday, she said. When we told Viola that we loved the old LIFE, that set us off on hours of phone conversations in the ensuing weeks about photo journalism, magazines, writing and “the arts.” Thank you, Viola, for sharing so much of yourself with all of us in so many ways. Charles J. Jordan

After she retired, Viola began oil painting and continued the handwork she enjoyed, including sewing, embroidery, quilting, and even tatting. She also was a frequent substitute teacher for many years. Viola was well known in Colebrook for managing Sutton Place, a guest house on Main Street.
In 2005 Viola was the recipient of the Boston Post cane for the distinction of being Colebrook's oldest citizen. She was a member of the Eureka Chapter #2, Order of the Eastern Star, the Metallak and the New Hampshire retired teachers' associations.

4. Obit: John H. Morrissey December 23, 1928 - May 7, 2010
Died on May 7, 2010 at his home in San Francisco. The cause of death was complications due to multiple myeloma and squamous cell carcinoma. John grew up in West Newton, MA and attended Dartmouth College where he majored in Mathematics and was a pole vaulter on the track team. Following graduation in 1950 he spent two years in the US Army where, to his great delight, he was posted at the Presidio in San Francisco. Following his stint in the Army, he obtained a Master's degree in Mathematics from UC Berkeley. While in San Francisco he met and married Mary Jane Hancock. In 1959, John and his family moved back to the East coast to join a new advanced systems development division at IBM. The family, now including a son, Robert, settled in Chappaqua, NY, where they lived for over 30 years. John spent many productive years at IBM Research (Armonk, Yorktown Heights, Valhalla and Poughkeepsie sites) where, among other accomplishments, he obtained a patent for a computer program that detected handwriting forgery. John's last position before retirement from IBM in 1984 was Program Director at the IBM Systems Research Institute based in Manhattan where he was unequivocally recognized as an outstanding teacher, mentor and inspirational colleague. John always considered himself very lucky to have gotten into the computer industry during its infancy, allowing him to see and participate in its development from punch cards to PCs during an exciting era of growth and innovation. After his first wife died in 1992, John moved back to his beloved San Francisco where he later met and married his second wife, Lucille Sutton in 2000. They spent many happy years together enjoying life in the city, taking short trips to various wine areas in the north and to Big Sur and Monterey to the south, and travelling to South Africa and to Europe numerous times, especially to visit his daughter Ann in Paris. John was an introspective, inquisitive man with a wry sense of humor who loved life because there was always something new to observe, read, or think about. He was particularly fond of the New York Times, Mozart, and white wine. In addition to his wife, Lucille, son Robert of Flagstaff, AZ, and daughter Ann of Paris, France, John is survived by a brother, Charles Morrissey of East Hardwick, VT, a sister-in-law Winnie Morrissey of West Lebanon, NH and numerous nieces and nephews. John and his family would like to acknowledge and thank the doctors at UCSF Medical Center, especially Dr. Curt Ries and the rest of the staff in the Hematology-Oncology practice who saw John through a successful stem cell transplant in 2003 which added 6 1/2 unexpected, primarily good years to his life. Gifts in memory of John Morrissey can be directed to the "UCSF Foundation-Hematologic Malignancies Program Fund," PO Box 45339, San Francisco, CA, 94145-0339.

Relatives and friends had held out fond hopes for his ultimate recovery, but a cruel fate willed otherwise. Cerebral trouble was the cause of his demise. A little over three months ago, while Frank Worthington was engaged as foreman of the mill at the Gaston mine he was suddenly stricken and came home to recuperate. His condition became so serious that he was taken to Napa, to receive the best care, and for a time he seemed to improve, but suffered a relapse. Decedent was one of the best known and most capable, rnillmen in this section of California. He had followed that vocation for many years, having held responsible positions as foreman of the Zeibright, Erie and Gaston mills. Years ago ho engaged in the butchering business at Washington. Mr. Worthington was born at the Noell ranch on the Grass Valley road, on August 21, 1803, making his age 52 years, 3 months and 21 days. The greater part of his life was spent in this city, where he was universally esteemed and respected, being a man of the strictest integrity, genial and enterprising. It was here that he attended the public schools and grew to manhood. Deceased is survived by his heartbroken wife and daughter Marjory, besides his sister, Mrs. B. F. Hartman. His late brother, William Worthington, was killed in the Champion mine a few years ago. Mr. Worthington was an old and honored member of Hydraulic Parlor, No. 56, Native. Sons of the Golden West, and was a past president of the parlor. The remains will be shipped this morning and will arrive here on the late train tonight. The funeral will probably take place Tuesday afternoon under the auspices of the Native Sons. (Morning Union, Dec. 12, 1915)25. DIES AT NAPA

Mrs. Elizabeth, Hammill, who for 36 years has been one of the city's most estimable residents, closed her eyes in death shortly after 9 oclock last night at the family home on Idaho street. Deceased was stricken with paralysis about two years ago, from which she never recovered. Mrs. Hammill was born in Cornwall, England, 37 years ago. She married Thomas Hammill in Pennsylvania, later coming to Grass Valley, where she has resided ever since. Mr. Hammill died in this city about fifteen years ago.

She slowly sank and as night approached she breathed her last. She was a woman of many lovable traits and was beloved by all who knew her, possessing a sweet, motherly character, and always viewing the sunny side of life. Of her type are the finest wives, noblest mothers and truest Christians. Her loss will be deeply mourned by hundreds of friends.

Williams, his father, was born in England, and was there reared and educated. In young manhood he worked in the copper and tin mines of his native country. In 1862 he immigrated to this country and to California via Panama, where he settled at Grass Valley and continued to follow his chosen vocation of mining, being employed in the old Eureka, New York Hill, North Star, Empire and other mines in Nevada County. He married Miss Mary Cheynouth, also a native of England, and they were parents of four children, all natives of California : Richard, James (deceased), John, and Luke W. Both parents are now deceased. Luke W. Williams attended the Grass Valley schools until he was eighteen years old, then he went to work in the mines in that section. He studied assaying with the Dean Company, in San Francisco, and also with the Gibson Company, of Oakland. In 1907 he opened an assay office in Grass Valley, where he has since practiced his profession. He is the owner of 1000 acres of mineral lands in Nevada County, on which are many valuable gold mining claims, as well as silver, copper, lead and zinc ores. In one mine there are five different metals, gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc; this property is located between Grass Valley and Auburn, near the highway. Mr. Williams is half-owner of the Central South Yuba mine, located six miles northwest of Grass Valley, which runs twenty-five dollars to the ton of gold, silver, copper and zinc ; this claim comprises 320 acres of land. For two years Mr. Williams served as superintendent and director of the Niagara Mine Company. The marriage of Mr. Williams united him with Miss Mary Powell, born near Des Moines, Iowa. Mr. Williams has great faith in the future of Grass Valley, where he has invested his money, owning a number of business blocks and houses, including his own fine residence; he was one of the organizers of the Bret Harte Hotel Company, and is a stockholder in same. Fraternally he belongs to the Grass Valley Lodge, No. 12, of I.O. O. F. (History of Placer and Nevada Counties California ..., p. 1190, 1924)
3. A Grass Valley dispatch says: A five-foot ledge of ore running 25 per cent copper, forty ounces of silver and 30$ in gold per ton has just been discovered at Newtown, in the Rough and Ready district. The strike was made fifty feel from the surface in a prospect shaft sunk by Luke Williams, a mining engineer of this city. Tho shaft was first started ten years ago and later abandoned as worthless. The extent of the ore body has not yet been determined, but it is believed to be large. The strike has, caused much excitement and is pronounced by mining men as the greatest new discovery made in the county for many years. (1914)

The home life of deceased was ideal, as he was a kind, loving and indulgent husband and father. "Billy" Worthington, as he was familiarly called, was a man of kind impulses, generous to fault and made and held warm friendships. Mr. Worthington was married to Nellie White, daughter of James White and wife of Nile street, in September, 1887, and one daughter, Louvia Worthington, who is 13 years of age, was born to them.

James C. White, an old and highly honored resident of Nevada City, passed away yesterday morning at 2 o'clock at the family home on Nile street. Mr. White had not been in very good health for five or six weeks, but Friday appeared to he a little better than usual and was able to be up and around a good part of the day. During the evening he suffered a fainting Spell. He regained consciousness in a short time, but gradually grew weaker and finally yielded to death. Heath was caused by the hardening of the arteries of the heart. In the death of James White this city loses a good honest, upright citizen.

He made friends with all, being always of a very jovial disposition. To know Mr. White was to like him, and his presence will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Among the many good traits of the deceased was his honesty. He was one of the men about whom that old saying “honest as the day is long" could well be said without its being misplaced.

Between 7 and 8 o’clock Thursday evening a fracas occurred on Lost Hill, Nevada City, which aroused the whole neighborhood. The particulars of the affair as given by the Transcript are as follows; Mrs. Nettie Snyder and her husband. who have been living at Mrs. Damon's place, became involved in a quarrel, during which Mrs. Snyder went to another room and grabbing up a shotgun started towards her husband, who ran out of the room, slamming the door after him. His wife fired through the door, a good portion of the charge striking Snyder in the right forearm, causing quite a severe flesh wound. A few shot also struck him in the body and hip. Snyder ran from the house and crossing the street made his way to John McArthur’s residence, where his arm was afterward dressed by Dr. Muller. The shot in his body and hip were subsequently picked out by the physician. Henry Damon, who was sitting on the porch, was struck on the head by a couple of shot, which produced a very slight injury. Immediately after the shooting Mrs. Snyder took her two little children and hurried off to the home of another relative. She claims that Snyder abused her when they lived at Fresno and that she left him on that account and came back to her folks. She returned a few weeks ago, and a short time afterwards Snyder followed her. They made up and went to living together again.

SLIDE AT RED LEDGE MINE FATAL
H. G. Williamson, One of the Owners, Crushed by Moving Mass Wednesday.
DEAFNESS PREVENTED HEARING WARNING
Was Buried by Avalanche of Earth and Rocks Before Brother’s Eyes.
Just as he was about to lay down his tools on the last day of 1913 Hector George Williamson, one of the best I known and best liked miners in the Washington district, lost his life at the Red Ledge mine, two miles south west of Washington. With his brother, Foster Williamson, and Clyde Cole, he was preparing to sluice off a piece of ground over the Red Ledge vein in the deep ravine below the claim. It was between 4 and 5 o’clcok on Wednesday afternoon, just previous to the time the trio intended to call it a day and return to their homes.
Deafness Worked Death.
The heavy rain of Tuesday and Wednesday had loosened the earth to the bedrock and considerable surface water was coming down into the space where they had intended to sluice. In order to turn the water away Clyde Cole started to go up the ravine. He had barely started when the ground commenced to slide. He shouted to the Williamson brothers and warned them to get away. Foster Williamson heard him, but Hector, who was hard of hearing, did not. However, Foster shouted to his brother, but the caving ground had crashed down the ravine and upon Hector before he realized it. His brother Foster caught him by the hand and attempted heroically to keep him from being caught in the slide. In his strenuous attempt to rescue his brother Foster himself was carried along, while Hector was almost buried in the rushing earth and rocks. Before he could be pulled out by his brother another slide was upon them, but Poster still clung to his brother and was almost encased himself.
Rescued by Brother.
Just as Foster was about to make a last attempt to rescue his buried brother the third slide thundered down and after it passed Foster got hold ot Hector by the collar. In the meantime Clyde Cole had returned and with ali possible haste the imprisoned man was dug out. As soon as he was rescued he said; “I will be all right, boys.” Although no external injuries were apparent it was feared that he wa/ badly hurt and Clyde Cole removed most of his clothing and wrapped it around the Injured man, starting then for Washington for help. Foster Williamson remained with his brother and only a few minutes after Mr. Cole had left the injured miner said to his brother: “Foster, raise my head.” Then he expired without uttering another word, although he was perfectly conscious when the end came.
Was One of Owners.
Hector Williamson was one of the owners of the Red Ledge, which has produced such wonderful specimen ore at different times. He discovered the mine and his brother Foster and Clyde Cole afterwards became interested with him. Mr. Williamson was bom and raised at Washington, where he had spent most of his life. He was born on December 20, 1871, being aged 42 years and 11 days. To mourn their loss are left his mother, Mrs. I. Williamson, with whom he made his home at Washington; one sister, Mrs. E. A. Langford, of San Rafael, and four brothers, viz.: William L., Wallace, Foster and Bruce Williamson, all residents of AVashington with the exception of the former, who lives at Sacramento. In the untimely death of Hector Williamson, Washington has lost one of its very best citizens. He was a man in the strictest sense of the word. A fine specimen of manhood physically and possessed of an amiable disposition, ever kind and considerate, ho easily and readily formed and held warm friendships. Ho was a skilled miner, possessing a splendid knowledge of formations, and had an abiding faith in the Red Ledge and Washington district. To know “Hec” Williamson was to like him and many are the expressions of regret at his sad ending. He had longed for the day when the Red Ledge would be classed among the steady producers of the county, but a cruel fate has willed that he be called to the great beyond before he could see his life-hope realized. After the remains were taken to his home -at Washington Justice of the Peace J. B. Lithgow held an inquest and the jury brought in a verdict to the effect that deceased came to his death as the result of an unavoidable accident. On account of tlie telephone line being out of commission news of the sad affair was not known here until Thursday. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 2 o’clock at Washington and the remains will be interred in the family plot in the cemetery there. (Morning Union, Jan. 3, 1914)3. WAS BURIED YESTERDAY
The funeral of Hector G. Williamson, who was killed by a slide at the Red Ledge mine, Wednesday, took place from the home of his mother at Washington yesterday afternoon. It was one of the largest attended funerals in Washington for many years, friends from far and near being present to pay their last respects to the sterling young man, who was universally esteemed.

Exciting Matrimonial Experiences of Tacoma Woman.
Case of Mrs. Annie Folger Once More Before the Courts.
(Special Dispatch to The Call)
TACOMA, June 9.— One of the most sensational stories that have been brought to light by the courts here in a long time vas revealed today in an application made by Mrs. Annie L. Folger for the custody of her child, Enid L. Place, now in possession of Mrs. Folger's former husband, Edward R. Place. Place is an insurance man in the Sound region and is well known all over the coast. When but 16 years of age and while living with her mother, Mrs. Rogers, at Oakland, Cal.. the complainant was married to Henry Reidy. Both she and her husband were school children. Her husband came to live with her mother and herself, but being unable to support either himself or his wife, abandoned her and went to New York. This was in 1893. A year later she met Edward. R. Place in San Francisco. Place was 30 years of age and she 17. Previous to the meeting she had received a newspaper notice stating that Henry Reidy, her husband, was dead. Place conceived an attachment for her and the two were married. Place was in the insurance business and traveled, and Mrs. Folger avers he took her with him from place to place, but often left her for wetks at a time. In 1896, she alleges. Place became abusive and told her that the ceremony of marriage between them was bogus, and that Dr. Cronin. a friend of his and an unauthorized person, united them. This she subsequently found to be true. She, however, induced Place to make this fraud good by marrying her in November, 1898, at Morgan City, Utah. In December of that year a child was born. When the child was a, few weeks old, she says. Place left them and went to San Francisco, and in a short time she ran out of funds and was harassed by his creditors. About this time she received authentic information that her first husband, Henry Reidy, was still alive. Thereupon she was desirous of taking her child and leaving Place to secure a divorce from Reidy, but was prevented by Place, who through intimidation and threats compelled her to travel around with him as his wife. The principal threat always used, she avers, was to keep her child away from her. While the child was an infant, she alleges, he did take it from her and attempt to repudiate her, and has frequently since taken the child and placed it with others. She says that thereafter the history of their wanderings and vicissitudes is too long to recount. Place being unsettled, traveling about continually and never providing her with a permanent home. In November, 1898, they found themselves in Spokane, and she there, against Place's orders, sent for an attorney named Keefe to consult with him concerning the securing of a divorce from Reidy. During this conversation with Keefe, she says. Place suddenly returned to the house, and finding out what was going on, violently assaulted both herself and Keefe, burned up all of her clothing, smashed up furniture and turned her out of the house. She then had Place arrested, but his old threat of taking the child induced her to drop the prosecution. Thereafter she sought refuge with her people in California, leaving her child behind. There she sued for and secured a divorce from her former husband, Reidy. Then, in order to secure possession of her child, she began action for annulment of marriage with Place on the ground that at the time of the marriage with him she had a husband living, from whom the had not secured a divorce. About the same time Place began an action for divorce from Mrs. Place in the King County courts on the grounds of desertion and incompatibility. Thereafter she came north and Place made overtures of reconciliation and induced her to again marry him, the ceremony taking place at Everett December 25, 1900. This was the third time the two were married. Place, she alleges, continued his unsettied mode of life and refused to let her have the society of her child. A year ago she married at Reno, Nev., William S. Folger of Stockton, Cal., and is now in a position to make a right for possession of her child. She declares that Place has no home for the child.

- DEATH ENDS LIFE OF DAVID EBAUGH
Died Yesterday Afternoon At Grass Valley; Appendicitis Is Cause.
Yesterday afternoon at 12:40 o’clock death came as a relief to the sufferings of David D. Ebaugh at the Grass Valley sanitarium. Deceased was brought down from Washington about two weeks ago and was taken to the sanitarium at Grass Valley suffering from an acute and aggravated attack of appendicitis. An operation was performed immediately after his arrival at the sanitarium and it was thought for a while that he had a chance to recover. He suffered a relapse, however. and another operation was performed last Monday. Since that time death had been momentarily expected, but the deceased bore up with remarkable fortitude and did not give up the battle against great odds until the last spark of life had flitted away. David Ebaugh was born in Willow Valley 32 years ago, and practically all of his life has been spent in and near this city, where he followed mining, teaming and other pursuits. He was educated in the schools of this city and his cheerful, optimistic temperament easily made friends for him. A friendship once made he easily retained it and at the time of his death he numbered his friendly acquaintances by the legion. A number of years ago Mr. Ebaugh was wedded to Josie Mosher and his married life was a happy one. Deceased was a member of Wyoming tribe, No. 49, I. O. R. M. under whose auspices the funeral will be conducted. In addition to the widow three children are left to mourn their loss. They are George. Dalbert and Beatrice Ebaugh. Mr. Ebaugh is also survived by a father, James Ebaugh of Nevada City, and a sister who resides in Sacramento. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon with services at Odd Follows’ halt.

He Was Captured by Constable Dyer of Colfax.
Last evening’s Nevada City Herald gives the account below of the robbery at Nevada City Saturday night. As usual, that most efficient officer, J. E. Dyer of Colfax, succeeded in capturing the burglar. The Herald says: “A burglar entered Geo. E. Turner’s hardware store on Saturday night, and got away with seven revolvers and a supply of cartridges. He effected an entrance by taking a pane of glass out of one of the Pine street doors. He was discovered by a lady, who called the officers. The fellow, being surprised, made his escape by means of a ladder, with which he climbed out on the roof and then descended in an apple tree, getting into Chinatown. “Telegrams were sent out, and on Sunday Constable Dyer caugnt the man at Colfax. The prisoner arrived on the morning train, and proved to be a fourteen-year old boy named Frank Damon. He confessed his crime, and was taken to his home on Lost Hill by Constable Dillon, where he dug up his plunder, having buried it in the yard. The young man is now in the County Jail. The officers worked hard to catch this young man.” (Morning Union, May 16, 1893)3. Found in the 1896 Sacramento, CA city directory; Damon, F, appr, S P Co., r 620 10th, p. 175

10. News Of Connor Wedding Comes From Lovelock
Thomas R. Connor, night jailer at the Sacramento County Jail and Mrs. Ethel M. Connor, the matron at the same jail, until last Wednesday, Mrs. Ethel M. Hallanan, are back at their respective jobs while their fellow employes in the sheriff's office and the jail are wondering whether the two have been married.
Both Absent
The fact that the two were absent at the same time last week and that it was known both were in Nevada, gave rise to a suspicion on the part of the jailers and deputies that Cupid was at work. However, both have denied their marriage since their return. Evidence in the form of a news dispatch to The Sacramento Bee from Lovelock, Nev., however, indicates that Mrs. Hallanan became Mrs. Connor at a ceremony performed there on September 18th by the Rev. H. Culp.
Refuses To Confirm
When shown the dispatch today the new Mrs. Connor refused to affair or deny the message, contenting herself by smilingly declaring that her fellow employes had accused Connor and herself of having been married in Reno. "I told them we had not been to Reno." she laughed. Both Mr. and Mrs. Connor have been employed under Sheriff Ellis Jones for a number of years. (Sacramento Bee, Sep. 23, 1929, p. 5)11.

1. Daughter of Conrad Sumner Tigard and Augusta "Gussie" Catherine Hahnen.
- Her grandfather: WILSON M. TIGARD an honorable Oregon pioneer, now deceased, came to the Territory in 1852. He was a native of the State of Arkansas, born near Fort Smith, September 7,1826. His grandparents emigrated from the north of Ireland and were among the Revolutionary patriots. Although they came to America on the same ship they were not then acquainted, but after their settlement in Georgia they met and were married. There the father of our subject, Hugh Tigard, was born, reared and married, the lady of his choice being a Miss Frances McLendend, a native of Georgia. As early as 1820 they removed to Arkansas and the father participated in the battle of New Orleans under General Jackson. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Tigard, two of whom are now living, namely: A. J. Tigard in the State of Wisconsin, and Mrs. Emily Doblebower in Columbia county, Oregon. Our subject was the eldest child and was reared in his native State, where he received but limited opportunities for an education, hence was obliged to educate himself by home study and reading. March 17, 1850, he was married in Washington county, Arkansas, to Miss Mary A. Yoes, a native of Washington county, Arkansas, born July 29, 1830, a daughter of Conrad Yoes, of German ancestry. After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Tigard resided in Arkansas for two years,where their son John was born. April 12, 1852, they started with five yoke of oxen, a cow and a wagon, on the long journey across the plains. His wife, mother, a brother, two sisters with their husbands accompanied him and each of the married couple had a child. There were about 130 persons in the company and as this was the year of the cholera epidemic many perished. some times there being only one or two left. The fatal disease was very rapid in its deadly work, within twelve hours after being taken sick the victim would have passed beyond any earthly aid. It was a distressing time. The living ones were obliged to bury their loved ones by the roadside and leave their graves exposed to the weather and wild beasts. The mother of Mr. Tigard was very sick, but fortunately recovered toward the end of the journey. The journey told upon the cattle to such an extent that many of them died and the emigrants were obliged to throw away many of their household stores to lighten the loads, and still later had to walk. This did not discourage these brave men and women for they pressed on and for five weeks they lived upon the beef of their poor worn-out cattle, without salt. They were a sorry looking company of emigrants when they arrived at the Dalles on the 12th of October. They made the passage down the Columbia in a flat-boat, stopping at Sandy. From there they made their way to Milwaukee, where Mr. Tigard obtained work, driving a logging team, but unfortunately broke his ribs and could not work. After recovering from his injury he made his way on foot to this portion of the country and purchased the right to the claim on which he spent the remainder of his life and on which the family still reside. The little village that has sprung up around his claim is known by his name, Tigardville. Like many of the other emigrants he had no money so paid for his 320 acres of land with two Spanish cows, which he obtained from Mr. George Richardson. The man who owned the claim was a Mr. Mathews and he had built a small log shanty on the land in which Mr. Tigard and his family made their home for the first year. They arrived at their new home, December 5, 1852, and they had hardly reached it when it began to snow. The snow fell to the depth of two feet and they were snowed in and were obliged to live on roasted potatoes. In the spring they cleared a small piece of land, dug holes in it and Mrs. Tigard dropped potatoes in the holes and covered them up, and this way they raised a nice crop of this necessary article of food. They struggled and toiled and in due time prospered. At all times their door was open to all needy and afflicted ones and many were the calls made upon their kindness and hospitality. In 1866 Mr. Tigard was injured by a falling tree. His eldest son was with him at the time of the accident and dragged him out from under the tree and then ran for help. When the son and assistance returned they found that, although the son had dragged him to a clear place the fire had reached the father and burned his legs.For three weeks he remained unconscious and then slowly recovered, but was never well afterward. His death occurred on the 13th of August, 1882. In politics he was a Republican and was an industrious, upright and honorable man and most worthy citizen. Ten children were born to his wife and himself in Oregon, and four sons and two daughters are living, namely: Mary Ann, died when an infant; Adaline, wife of Milton P. Smith; Emaline, whose clothes caught fire when she was five years of age and before assistance could reach her she was so badly burned that death resulted; Gertrude married C. S. Gault, to whom she bore two children and then died, aged twenty-eight; Fannie K. married James Marion and resides at Farmington, Washington county; Charles F. owns a portion of the donation claim, on which he is raising hops; in addition he has a general merchandise store on the property and is doing a thriving business, being an enterprising and capable man. Abraham Lincoln died in his thirteenth year of diphtheria; Conrad, has a portion of the donation claim; Hugh B. is a merchant in Fulton and has a part of the claim; John W., the son born in Arkansas, is married and has a part of the farm near the old homestead. He has two sons, Frank and Jessie. Mrs. Tigard is in good health and keeps house for Charles. She is a good representative of the pioneer women of 1852. The sons follow in their father's footsteps and are ardent Republicans, while Charles F. is Postmaster at Tigardville. (Hines, H. K. "An Illustrated History of the State of Oregon." Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co. 1893. p. 576)

Herald: Ernest Damon, a ten-year-old boy, was arrested by Marshal Getchell on Saturday night, for stealing some gold rings from Mrs. Chris. Webber. Although the Marshal has a good case against him, the lad will not give up the rings, but has been sending the Marshal on “wild goose chases” by lying about the whereabouts of the stolen goods.
