MRS. FANNIE HOWE DEAD
News was received here last week of the death of Mrs. Fannie Howe, which
occurred at the hospital at French Camp. Mrs. Howe was one of the
pioneer residents of this place and has been a patient sufferer from
cancer for the past twenty years. She was a good Christian woman and a
member of the M. E. Church here and was highly esteemed by a large number
of friends who regret to hear of her death. She leaves a number of
children among whom are Mrs. B. P. Dollarhide and Mrs. May Nurse and Al
Howe, of this place Mrs. Nannie Wood of Alturas, and others we do not
know.
DIED AT RENO
The death of Mrs. D. C. Berry, well-known resident of Davis Creek,
occurred at Reno last Friday. She and her husband had gone to Reno to
have her eyes treated, and on their return home, Mrs. Berry was taken
seriously sick at Wendal. They then returned to Reno and Mrs. Berry
entered St. Marys hospital, where she later passed away. The remains
were interred Sunday in the presence of a large concourse of friends.
Mrs. Berry was highly esteemed by her many friends, and the Record along
with them, tenders sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones.
SURGICAL OPERATION
Mrs. Frank McClintock, formerly of this valley, but now of Los Gatos,
underwent a surgical operation at a San Jose hospital and we are informed
that she is getting along as well as can be expected. Her daughter, Mrs.
John Ennis, of this place, left last week to be at her bedside. Mrs.
McClintocks many friends here sincerely hope that she will be speedily
restored to health.
Dr. Gibson was over from Alturas last Friday on a professional visit to
Mr. Fred Terry, who is reported critically ill at this writing.
WHY?
The charge of murder against Fatty Arbuckle, for the alleged murder of
Virginia Rappe, was reduced to manslaughter last week by Judge Lazarus
before whom the examination was held, and all, or nearly all, the papers
are howling like a mad coyote because the charge was reduced. We dont
see where they have any fowl coming. The Record is not defending
Arbuckle, but the glaring inconsistency of the press and people are so
conspicuous, as to place them in a somewhat ridiculous light. It was
only a few months ago that a young man, a thief, a burglar, an outlaw,
murdered in cold blood, a marshal that attempted to arrest him for his
crime. The sob sisters and the press howled themselves hoarse when he
was convicted of murder. He was a poor defenseless boy, and had not had
fair treatment, they said, and should not be hung. And owing to their
efforts a bill was passed the Legislature that young men under eighteen
years of age could murder men and be immune from capital punishment. Now
the same element wants Arbuckle hanged. Why they wanted to free a cold
blooded murderer, and then turn right around and want to hang a man who
entertained a party in a hilarious manner, with death resulting as a
possible accident, is a problem that is left to the future for solution.
Born At Dr. Coates, Sanitarium, Cedarville, Cal., Oct. 3, 1921, to the
wife of Charles Ochles, a daughter.
Cy Hanks arrived here from Susanville last week and opened a barber shop
in the Polly Green Building. He is first class barber and will give
satisfaction in all lines of the business.
Floyd Stimer and wife and G. R. Stimers made a trip to Lookout last week,
returning Saturday. Mrs. Stimer remained in Big Valley and will visit
friends and relatives there for a week or so.
Married At Alturas, Cal., September 24th, 1921, Warren N. Slinkard and
Miss Gertrude Barnett, both of Eagleville, Rev. A. Clark Selby,
officiating. Mr. and Mrs. George M. Penland acted as witnesses.
Margaret, the little seven-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm Mickle,
of Lake City, was brought to Dr. Coates Sanitarium last Sunday evening
and operated on for appendicitis. We understand the little one is
getting along nicely.
Late reports from those afflicted with the infantile paralysis are to the
effect that little May Parman is holding her own, but weak; while Mrs.
Neasham is reported some worse, and it is said that her case is extremely
doubtful. No new cases have been reported.
Messrs. McCulley & Rea last week took over from Charles Fee, 2700 head of
lambs, which they will feed for the next thirty or forty days on the
weigh in and weigh out plan. This is the first test of that kind in the
valley, and bids fair to bring a good price for the feed used, better
than selling it outright.
We have it on good authority that the first time a fellow kisses a pretty
girl, she looks at him in a way that makes him sorry he didnt try it
sooner.
