SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL.

Elsworth G. Scammon, well known in Modoc, as he was born and raised here,
received the well-merited honor of being appointed a member of the

fact of which his many Modoc friends feel justly proud.
OBITUARY
Died At Fort Bidwell, Cal., Oct. 26, 1925, Frederick George Messner,
aged 50 years, 3 months and 19 days.
Frederick George Messner was born at South Fork, Siskiyou County,
Calif., and came to Bidwell in 1884. His passing was a shock to the
entire community, altho he had two previous attacks of heart trouble, and
seemed to have had a premonition of an early passing, by plans made for
the family and remarks to different persons. He was well as usual in the
morning and was talking to one of his sons, asking him the time of the
day. He drew out his watch and said Twenty minutes of seven, threw up
his hands, gave a queer cry and fell. A doctor was called and everything
possible was done to revive him.
A Coroners inquest was held, J. D. Watson, Justice of the Peace,
officiating in the absence of Mr. Kerr. Mr. Messner was a man of high
honor and strict integrity and was respected by all. His death coming so
soon after that of his sister, Mrs. O. W. Jacobs makes a double sorrow
for the family. He was a member of the Masonic Order and Woodmen of the
World. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Lulu Messner; three sons,
Laurance, Vance and Oliver and One daughter, Freda, his mother and one
brother, of Adel, and one sister, Mrs. Cronin, of Adel. The sympathy of
the entire community is with them all.
Let not your hearts be troubled. I go to prepare a place for you,
that where I am ye may be also. Let not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid.
Last week, John Sharp found and arrested Arthur Pepperdine in Oklahoma
and arrived with him at Alturas last Sunday night. When arrested
Pepperdine had only 25 cents, and was working, boarding himself.
Bob Cantrall, former resident of this place, was over last week on a
short visit. Bob is one of the old pioneer residents of Modoc and
predicts from certain conditions winter ahead will be an open one, with
plenty of rain.
CARD OF THANKS- We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our
neighbors and friends, to the members of the Masonic Order, Woodmen of
the World and the choir, for their kindness and help in our sorrow.
Mrs. Lulu Messner and family

COMMITTED SUICIDE
Last Sunday evening Robert Spalding committed suicide by blowing the top
of his head off, using a shotgun. It seems that he was working on one of
Dan Royces ranches on Joseph Creek and the family living at the ranch
had gone visiting and on returning after dark, stumbled over the body of
the unfortunate man, while looking for matches to light the lamp. He was
unmarried and left nothing to indicate the cause of the rash act.
Coroner Kerr was called and the inquest resulted in verdict of suicide.
Vincent Caldwell, Supervisor of the 5th District, died at Alturas last
Sunday night from pneumonia. He was a young man and highly esteemed by
all who knew him and he will be missed in the County.
