SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1921
E. J. Bruce, who formerly lived here, but for the past five or six, has
been living in Kansas, arrived here last week on a short visit. He says
that he is still traveling in single harness.
Auble Keeney came up from Adin last week on a visit to his mother, Mrs.
Maud Keeney.
Mrs. B. P. Dollarhide returned last week from French Camp, near Stockton,
where she took her mother, Mrs. Howe, and placed her in a hospital at
that place for medical care and treatment. Mrs. Howe has long been a
sufferer from cancer on the face, and there no hopes for her recovery,
but everything is being done to make her comfortable as possible as
lifes day declines.
A bright light at the north end of town last week indicated that a fire
was in progress, but on investigation it was found that the luminous rays
was only the reflection of the smile on Billy Fenwicks face, caused by
the news that he was now a grand-dad to a bouncing baby boy being born to
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Dachner, of Marysville, July 18th.
Burton Spalding, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wib Spalding of this place, arrived
here last Friday from Marysville on a short visit to his parents, and
returned Monday.
H. W. Stephens arrived here Saturday from the St. Helena Sanitarium,
where he has been taking treatment, and says that his health is somewhat
improved.
Mr. E. E. Woodson, of Los Angeles, who accompanied by his wife, is
visiting Ben L. Johnson, presented the Record family with a generous
supply of venison last Friday, and the tender juicy steaks were heartily
appreciated. Mr. Woodson was here last fall and bagged a big buck and
came back this year to duplicate the act, which he did in short order,
bringing down a whopping big six pointer buck.
Married At Hilo, Hawaii, August 14, 1921, Miss Ethel Burgun, formerly

the Island.
Born At Lake City, Cal., August 26, 1921, to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B.

Sam is reported to be a total wreck.
Mrs. Mema, a dusky lady of the Golden West, and chief factotum in the
laundry work around town, went up to Bidwell last week to attend the fair

to and separated sometime ago, and they were remarried.

All of the above newly weds are popular young people of Modoc County, and
the record, along with a host of warm friends, wish them all a long life
of unalloyed happiness and unbounded prosperity.
The Adin Argus states that Park Johnson cut the back of his left hand
badly last week while splitting wood. Well, we aint got a bit of
sympathy for a man that will rush in and take a womans job away from
her. While a woman cant hit the side of a barn fifteen feet away with a
rock, she is an artist with an axe, and you never see one limping around
on crutches with a foot half hacked off, or going around with her arm in
a sling and nursing a hamburger steak on the end of it, which shows that
spitting wood is essentially her job. Too bad, park, but it serves you
right.
