SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL.
DECEMBER 2, 1925
SUDDEN DEATH
William Ebling, for many years one of the old pioneer residents of
Washoe, County, Nevada, but for the past several years a resident of this
place, died suddenly yesterday morning at his home in the north part of
town. He was down town Monday evening and complained of feeling ill and
feared that he might be taking pneumonia, and yesterday morning Thos.
Jones went to his home to see how he was. He found him to be a very sick
man and immediately brought his wife and went after Dr. Kennedy, leaving
Mrs. Jones, who is a professional nurse, working with the patient, but in
a few minutes the end came. A jury was empanelled and the verdict was
that the deceased came to his death from natural cause, which as near as
could be ascertained was caused by the hardening of the arteries of the
heart. Wm Ebling was a man well liked and has no relatives in this
state. He was a member of Paradise Lodge of Odd Fellows in Nevada.
The time for his funeral has not been announced, but it will be
conducted under the auspices of the Cedarville Lodge No. 249.
SCOTTY ANSWERS LAST CALL
George Brand, an aged man familiarly known as Scotty Brand, died last
Saturday morning at the Hotel Surprise, where he was taken for medical
treatment about a week ago.
George Brand was born in Scotland, and was aged about eighty-three
years. As a young man he came to American, and settled in Nevada in the
year 1857 and was a resident of Washoe County over forty years, working
at ranching and sheep herding. He was chiefly employed by the Gerlach
Live Stock Company. During the last decade, he was practically a
pensioner at Lost Creek Ranch, owned by the Gerlach Co. The deceased
left no relatives in this country and the funeral was held from the
Cedarville Church last Sunday afternoon with interment in the local
cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. M. J. Williams, in the
presence of a party of friends, who had known Scotty as an honest,
trust worthy, intelligent and industrious employee of the Gerlach Co. for
years.
Arthur Pepperdine plead guilty to the charge of embezzlement of County
funds and was last week sentenced to a term of from one to ten years in
the penitentiary.
Jack Hayes has been quite ill with pneumonia during the past week, but at
this writing, we understand that he is holding his own with the dreaded
disease.
Simon Bennett and George S. Miller returned last week from a six weeks
visit to Connecticut and made their return trip by auto. They report a
pleasant time and made the journey home in 27 days.
Dan Devaney was thrown from a bucking horse while at Badger last
Wednesday and was badly bruised, as the horse kicked him as he fell. He
was brought to Cedarville for medical treatment and is getting along as
well as could be expected. Luckily, no bones were broken.
Robert E. McCulley, of this place and Mrs. Vesta Davis, of Likely, were
married at Redding, Cal., last Thursday. Bob, as he is familiarly called
is one of the hustling young farmers of this place and has a host of warm
friends who wish him and his bride all the happiness and prosperity
possible as they travel over the rugged pathway of life.

Chase, a 10 pound daughter Eula Belle Chase.
Chris Hansen was at Alturas yesterday taking his mother, Mrs. Mary Hansen
over. Mrs. Hansen was on her way to Huntington Beach to spend the winter
with her daughter, Mrs. B. E. Warrens. Her many friends here wish her a
pleasant visit and safe return.

Hanks, both of this place. The Record extends hearty congratulations to
its young friends and wishes them boundless happiness and prosperity as
they journey through life.
Jack Pierce, the 17 years old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Pierce, of Likely,
Cal., died Sunday while enroute to Reno for an operation for
appendicitis. Jack was a bright young man and was member of the Senior
Class in the Modoc County High School. His funeral was held at Likely
yesterday.
Regarding the article in last weeks record relating to the Pepperdine
case, we are informed that it was incorrect in that the article stated
some attorneys prevailed upon Pepperdine to fight the case. As a matter
of fact, he was charged with two crimes, that of grand larceny and
embezzlement. The former charge was the one to be contested, but it was
dismissed, and he plead guilty to the latter.
A large number of people were present to attend the funeral of Wm Ebling
last Friday afternoon. He was a native of Germany and was aged about
seventy years and came to Paradise Valley, Nevada about thirty-nine years
and a couple of years later moved to Virgin Valley, and lived in that
part of the country until a few years ago when he came to this place,
where he has since resided. He was the last of his family and having no
relatives, he left a will, making a number of small bequests to several
of his old friends, but bequeathing the bulk of his possessions to John
Largent, of Lake City.

WEDS WOODLAND MAN
Woodland, cal. Dec. 10 Hugh Cave, 76, pioneer of Yolo County and for
years deputy Sheriff of Yolo County, yesterday surprised even the members
of his family by taking unto himself a wife in Ida May Herron, 65, of
Fort Bidwell, Cal. The joint ages of the twain united by Justice of the
Peace, R. W. Harrison, is 141 years. Cave is a property owner of
Woodland, and has long sought a housekeeper to look after and keep up his
Woodland home. Failing, he started forth in search of a helpmate to be
his companion in his relining days. Mr. and Mrs. Cave will reside in
woodland. They are away on their honeymoon.
A TRAGEDY AT ADIN
A frightful accident occurred at Adin last Friday evening, which
resulted in the death of Miss Theresa Auble and badly burned two other
young ladies. It seems that the High School pupils were preparing to
present a play in the High School building that evening and Miss Auble
lighted a gasoline lamp which exploded and burning her so severely that
she died on Saturday, and also severely burning the other girls
mentioned. The sad tragedy call forth expression of deepest sympathy
throughout the county and their heartfelt sympathy goes out to the
bereaved ones, in their hour of overwhelming sorrow.
Mrs. D. A. Cunningham slipped and fell one day last week, spraining her
elbow badly.
Married At Alturas, Cal., Dec. 13th, 1925, Mrs. Gertie Dunn to Alfred

Rumor has it that Oscar Barnum was married at Alturas yesterday to Miss
Eva Knight. If the report be true, we extend heartfelt congratulations
to the young couple.
Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Adams received a wire announcing the illness of their
daughter, Mrs. Everett Wilson at Sacramento and Mrs. Adams at once left

DECEMBER 23, 1925
A NARROW ESCAPE
Last Monday morning Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Robinson, Dr. M. R. Kennedy, and
Paul Robinson left here for Lakeview in their Sedan, where they were
taking Paul to undergo and operation for appendicitis, and when near
harry Wards place the car skidded and turned over on its side. The
accident was the result of slippery roads, and while chains were on all
four wheels, the car could not be kept from skidding. Fortunately, none
of the occupants were hurt, though the car was somewhat damaged, and the
party returned here.
Dr. Kennedy performed a surgical operation on Paul Robinson yesterday
morning and removed a badly infected appendix that has been troubling him
for some time. Mrs. Thos D. Jones assisted in the operation and we are
pleased to state that the patient is getting along nicely.

went to attend the funeral of Mrs. Hotchkiss sister who died suddenly as

DECEMBER 30, 1925
A SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
Paul Robinson who underwent a surgical operation for appendicitis last
week is getting along nicely and was able to be brought to his home
yesterday. The success of the operation and his speedy recovery reflects
much credit on Dr. Kennedy as a surgeon and also Mrs. Thos D. Jones, who
was his nurse. Aside from being a skillful physician, Dr. Kennedy is an
especially expert surgeon, which brings to mind the thought that if a
suitable place could be arranged for performing operations there would be
no need for any of our people going elsewhere for that purpose, as the
Dr. and Mrs. Jones form a good hospital corp, and all patients could
place themselves in their hands with the utmost confidence in the success
of final results.
Marion Rinehart is reported ill with pneumonia.
Grandpa Mickle is reported somewhat ill this week.
