OBITUARY
The death of Henry Stiner marks the passing of one of the old landmarks
of Surprise Valley. One by one, the old timers are passing to the great
beyond. He came to this country in the early seventies, when the
unmeasured and complicated problem incident to the settling of a new
country called for stalwart men, men who had vision and faith in the
future. By hard labor and many sacrifices, Henry Stiner succeeded in
accomplishing that, which is the ambition of all men, by making for
himself a home, rearing a family that loves him and cherishes in his
memory. He was a devoted father and husband, neighborly and obliging, as
well as hospitable to everybody. He was of quiet and unassuming nature,
possessing the highest sense of home, and with all a hard worker. The
writer has many times enjoyed the hospitality of the Stiner home and the
genial fellowship of the family. He was constant in his friendship and
courageous in his convictions. His life flows on a peaceful river of
mirrored deeds that shows the way of righteous living, the art of doing
well.
Henry Stiner was born May 28, 1848, at Cardington, Ohio. When seven
years old he came to California with his parents, by way of Isthmus of
Panama. They located 15 miles west of Marysville at what is known as
Stiners Bend. They moved in 1864 to Sierra Valley in Plumas County,
bringing their dairy from the Sacramento Valley. In 1871, he brought
his stock cattle to Surprise Valley. He lived for a short period in
Reno. In 1883, he permanently located in Surprise and has lived at Owl
Creek for nearly 40 years. On March 9, 1874, he married Miss Jessie
Helen Wing, at LaPorte, Plumas County. He died Mar. 8, 1921, one day
before the 47 anniversary of their wedding.
They had five children. The second son, Henry Mead, died in 1900, and
of the other four, two Arthur W. and Jesse W. live near Cedarville, Dr.
J. O. Stiner lives at Stathmore, in Tulare, County, California, and the
only daughter, Ina, is a teacher in the High School of Porterville,
Tulare County. He has one brother, Albert Stiner and one sister, Mrs.
Alice Hironymous, who lices near Cedarville. He has been a member of the
Methodist Church of Eagleville since 1908. His funeral was held from the
church at Eagleville, Friday march 11th and was very largely attended.

latter will enter the hospital for the removal of her tonsils. The
operation was performed Monday and she is getting along nicely.
Born In Cedarville, March 18, 1921, to the wife of Thomas Meredith, a
son.
(Tom says the first act of the new arrival was to holler for Harding.
That assertion may be all right, for while the mother and babe are
getting along nicely, Tom is only hitting the earth here and there, and
any statements he may make just now needs to be taken with a whole sack
full of salt. However, he may get back to normal in a week or two).

Mrs. L. N. Past left last week for Berkeley, where she will visit her
