SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL.
JULY 1, 1925
PIONEER RESIDENT PASSES
Adam E. Rinehart, one of the old time residents of this valley, died at
Lakeview last Wednesday evening from a sudden attack of pneumonia. His
remains were brought to Cedarville and interred in the Odd Fellows
cemetery Friday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. R. L.
Waggoner, assisted by Cedarville Lodge No. 249, of which Order he has
long been a highly esteemed member. The choir rendered several beautiful
and appropriate selections. On the 18th inst. he motored to Lakeview,
taking with him Mrs. Reese Hawkins and Miss Genevieve Rinehart, and was
taken ill the next morning.
Mr. Rinehart was born in Virginia, January 1848. In 1866 he enlisted in
the army and served until 1869, when he came west and for many years was
engaged in business in this State and Nevada, and in 1875, he came to
Surprise Valley. April 26th, 1874, he was married to Miss Margaret Best,
the result of that union being six children, one of whom died in infancy.
He is survived by his widow, and three sons and two daughters: William
H., Harry E. and Marion Rinehart, Mrs. Thos Sizer and Mrs. Grace Beebe,
all of whom reside near Cedarville. He was a man highly esteemed by all
who knew him; a man of sterling qualities, a good citizen and a faithful
friend. The ranks of the old pioneer settlers are sadly depleted, and in
a few years, at best, none will be left to answer the final call. Mr.
Rinehart leaves behind to mourn his death, a sorrowing wife and five
children to whom a large circle of warm friends extends deepest sympathy
in their sad bereavement.
CARD OF THANKS We desire to extend our sincere thanks to all those who
so kindly assisted us during our sad bereavement in the death of our
husband and father, Adam E. Rinehart, and for the many beautiful floral
offerings presented by friends.

to apprehend him.
J. E. Niles, of the Hotel Niles at Alturas, John Wall and Pete Guler were

VISITS OLD HOME
Henry Kober and L. F. Billups of Fort Bidwell motored to Klamath Falls
some days ago, returning the first of last week, accompanied by Dr.
George M. Kober, of Washington, who will visit the scenes of earlier days
and renew acquaintances with old time friends. Dr. Kober was one of the
first Army surgeons and physicians stationed at Fort Bidwell, where he
resided many years and was always in the front ranks of progression and
was active in all things pertaining to the welfare of the valley, and
made many friends who regretted to see him go, even though it was to a
splendid and influential position in Washington with the government. His
nephew, henry m. Kober, conducts the pioneer mercantile store at Fort
Bidwell and the Doctor will be his guest while in the valley. While he
has passed, the four score milestone he is yet hale and active and bids
fair to see many more birthdays come and go.
A TRAGIC DEATH
Last Sunday morning Eddie Schadler, of Fort Bidwell, told his wife that
he would go up the creek and catch a mess of trout, and not returning in
the afternoon, a search was made for him without avail until Monday
morning, when his body was found in shallow pool of water. He was an
epileptic sufferer and had no doubt fallen in the creek face downward and
drowned. He leaves a wife and two small children besides other relatives
and his sudden and tragic death was a shock to the entire community, and
deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones in their sad
affliction. Undertaker Kerr went up and had charge of the arrangements
for the funeral, which will probably take place today.
Mrs. Mabel Stimers arrived from Ashland, Ore., last week on a visit to
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Wentzell.
Ed Green motored to Gerlach last week and brought back Mrs. John Benner,
who will visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Dyke for a time.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hudspeth, formerly of Surprise but now residents of
Long Beach, arrived here yesterday on a visit to the old home place and
are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Allenwood, parents of Mrs. Hudspeth.
A young man by the name of Stanley Powell fell off a haystack yesterday
at Duck Lake and had his hip broken by the fall. He was brought here and
is now at the Hotel Surprise under Dr. Kennedys care, and is doing as
well as could be expected.

DEATH OF EDDIE SCHADLER
The unexpected death of Edward Lawrence Schadler, which occurred at Big
Valley, Oregon, on July 5th, has cast a gloom of sorrow over the entire
community where he was reared. While on an outing at Big Valley,
fishing, in company with his wife and children, and his wife' mother and
father, the pleasure of the outing was turned to sorrow. It will
probably never be known the exact circumstances which caused his death;
but it is presumed that while along the stream he had a sinking spell and
had gone to the water to bathe his head, as he was found in the stream of
water only about four or five inches deep face downward.
Mr. Schadler was born in Fort Bidwell, Oct. 4, 1900, and was a graduate
of the Surprise valley union High School, with high honors, to such a
degree of excellency that Hon. John E. Raker saw in Eddie, as he was
familiarly known, a promising young man of ability and character and was
instrumental in getting an appointment for Eddie as one of the two
allotted in the Congressional District to take the examination for
Scholarship to enter the Military academy at Annapolis. In the Spring of
1918, Eddie, his father and a friend departed by auto for Red Bluff,
Cal., the appointed place where said examination was held, but misfortune
overtook the party by the sudden death of Eddies father in Mt. Burney.
His ever loyalty and love for his devoted mother and sister did not
permit him to leave home at this time and thus sacrificed all the once
bright future in store for him. Eddie Schadler possessed a lovable
personality; everyone who knew him, so far as he would permit without
sacrificing a decent self respect, was called a friend by him. He was of
Natures nobility. For the sorrowing widow and two little babes, a
devoted mother and other kindred we tender our sincere condolence in this
their hour of sorrow, which they have sustained through the sudden fiat
of a Divine Providence.
It is hoped that from an honorable and unspotted life mingling with an
unshaken faith that the family chain temporarily broken will be reunited.
We are sorry to hear that Mr. Hobbs condition is not improving.
Jeff Poindexter, and old and well-known resident of Modoc, was burned to
death in a bunkhouse destroyed by fire at the Dorris ranch neat Alturas
one night last week. His many friends regret to hear of his tragic end.
CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the people and kind friends of fort
Bidwell for their assistance and kindness shown in the hour of our
bereavement by the loss of our dear one, Edward Lawrence Schadler.
