treatment, having been quite ill during the past several weeks.
Joseph Parman, who has been spending the summer at Bidwell, was down
yesterday for a short time. Joe is one of our most esteemed early day
residents and braved the perils of pioneer days and the wiles of the fair
sex, thru which he emerged unscathed, and his chief aim in life now is to
enjoy himself and keep County Clerk Smith from issuing him a permit to
assume the responsibility of footing the bills imposed by matrimonial
alliance. Joes may friends here were truly pleased to see him.
During recess at a country school the following notice was written on the
blackboard; I am willing to kiss any girl in this school. Your
patronage is solicited. Tommy Jones. The young teacher blushed
prettily as she erased the notice and requested tommy to remain after
school. Several of his schoolmates feeling the Tommy was in for a
strapping loitered outside while he was detained by the teacher. After
a long wait, he appeared and was immediately besieged with questions as
to what happened.
I aint tellin, said Tommy. All I got to say is, it pays to
advertise.

had been killed in an auto accident the morning at Fresno and that Mrs.
Summers was seriously injured. Both were formerly residents of this
place and their friends are grieved to learn of the tragedy. Mrs.
Summers is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chambers, of this place.
One of the examples of what a woman can do may be seen in the garden
raised by Mrs. Emma Crowley. She has something over an acre of ground
and every foot is it raised something. Vegetables of al kinds were grown
in profusion and the weeds were noticeable or their absence. Aside from
attending to the garden and household duties she raised something over
two hundred fine chickens, and last but not least she has one of the
prettiest flower gardens in the valley.
Yesterday was an eventful day for Frank Page, of the Hotel Surprise. He
purchased a new Hudson coach and last night while driving, along the road
a mile or so above town, with Mrs. Pearl Cornell, Miss Theresa Perry and
his two daughter, Ethel and Edith and son Francis in the car, his
attention was attracted to the back end of the car for a moment and the
car ran off the end of a bridge, upsetting and landing on its top.

last week for having liquor in his possession. He seems to have been the
happy possessor of several pint bottles of the obe joyful.
SEPTEMBER 23, 1925
AUTO STRUCK BY TRAIN
From letters received, it seems that the death of Fred Summers was
caused by a passenger train crashing into his auto while crossing the
track. A freight train had been stopped to allow a passenger train to
pass and the train men motioned for the autos to come on, when the engine
in the car in front of Fred died and he passed around it just as the
passenger train came on, striking the auto and carrying it down the track
several hundred feet, killing and badly mangling Fred and breaking three
ribs and otherwise badly bruising Mrs. Summers, who, however, is rapidly
recovering, and will soon be able to be taken to the home of nearby
relatives.
ARRESTED FOR FORGERY
A gentleman of color was arrested here last week on the complaint of
Glenn Hill, charged with forgery, he having drawn a check and forging the
latters name to it. This the second offense committed by him on the
same parties and will probably result in the State taking another boarder
for an undetermined number of years, as Hagan has but recently completed
a term in the pen for being too handy with the pen.
Born To Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Harris, near Eagleville, Cal., Sept. 16,
1925, a son
Andy Neasham purchased the McCloud property, north of L. A. Wheelers, at

They say that when one has an itchy feeling that they will be sure to
receive something. Thats a mistake; it is a sure sign that one has
already got it.
Mrs. Irene Hess, who for years has resided near Adin, committed suicide
at Chico one day last week. Ill health was the cause of her committing
the rash act.

in the southern part of the State. Their many friends here extend hearty
congratulations and wish them a happy and prosperous voyage thru life.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1925
A NARROW ESCAPE
F. E. Bush, Pres. of the Modoc Co. Bank, met with a near fatal accident
last Sunday evening, in which he had three ribs broken and the bones of
his right wrist broken and the hand badly mashed. He had been in the
mountains hunting and was riding on the wagon driven by Orrin Atterberry,
who was bringing a load of wood down the Deep Creek grade, when one of
the horses became frightened and started the wagon out over the grade,
when Mr. Bush placed his foot on the side of the wagon bed to be in
readiness to jump if the wagon went over the grade but his foot slipped
and he fell between the front and hind wheels of the wagon, the brake
block striking him and breaking three ribs and also moving his body out
of the track of the hind wheel, which probably saved his life, as
otherwise the hind wheel would have passed over his body.
However, the hind wheel ran over his right wrist and hand, breaking the
bones and mashing the hand. He was brought to his home and Dr. Kennedy
was called, and he is doing well at this writing.
ALTURAS MAN GOES WRONG
Last week Arthur Pepperdine, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Pepperdine, of
Alturas, skipped out, leaving a shortage in the county funds. It seems
that he placed the time lock ahead on the big safe to open in 72 hours,
before going and later on a letter was received from him stating that he
had taken $4700, and there was no use following him, for if the did they
would find him dead. There was about fifty thousand in currency in the
safe that he could have taken if he so desired. As yet, no trace of him
has been discovered. We had been helping his father in the Treasurers
office and it is thought that he has been on taking a little money from
time to time, hoping to replace it. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Pepperdine are truly grieved at the action of their son and sympathize
with them in their sorrow.
Samuel Harris, a former well known resident of this place, but now
residing near Marysville, arrived here several days ago on a visit to his
brother, Joseph Harris, and family and was kept busy shaking hands with
old time friends.
Bobby, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Herrin, was brought in
from their home at 49 Station, seriously ill, being afflicted with
kidney trouble from which he has been suffering for more than a year. He
is slightly improved at this writing.
Albert Kennedy, brother of Dr. M. R. Kennedy, of this place, and Ellis
Morrel, of Lower Lake, and F. Brady, of Davis, arrived here some days ago
for a visit to Dr. and Mrs. Kennedy, and incidentally to bag a big buck.
The two former were old time friends of ours and we were truly pleased to
meet them again.
STEWART WANDLING NUPTIALS
Stanford memorial Chapel was the scene of a handsomely appointed
wedding, September 8, at 2 oclock when Miss Mae Wandling, a daughter of
Mrs. W. P. Hatfield, of Palo Alto, became the bride of John Clinton
Stewart. Rev. C. M. Wise of the First Methodist Church read the marriage
vows in the presence of a group of friends and relatives. Delicately and

embellishments, wore a rich tulle veil, and carried Cecil Bruners. She

wagon, dropped the bits out of the horses mouths, when they became
frightened and started to run down the grade. Mr. Bailey endeavored to
stop them and was thrown to the ground, one wheel passing over his right
leg, breaking it just above the knee. The team continued to run down the
grade, the wagon over turning and throwing Mrs. Bailey out over the grade

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.
Mrs. A. E. Rinehart

to apprehend him.
J. E. Niles, of the Hotel Niles at Alturas, John Wall and Pete Guler were
over from the County seat Friday to attend the funeral of Adam Rinehart.
JULY 8, 1925
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.

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.
JULY 15, 1925
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.

PASSING OF WM MULLINS
In the passing of Wm Mullins here last Thursday evening, June 11th,
another member of the old guard has gone to his final rest. For the past
two years he has been in ill health, and during the past six weeks his
death has been almost hourly expected by a large circle of warm friends,
who sincerely mourn his death.
William Mullins was born in Waterford County, Ireland, may 28, 1855, and
who came to this country when but ten years old and followed the lure of
gold to the West and arrived at Virginia City, in stirring days of the
70s. About 1881, he came to Surprise valley where he has since
resided, with the exception of a short time at Lakeview. In 1892, he
came to Cedarville and engaged in business and later purchased the ranch,
on which he lived and died. In 1898, he was married to Florence A.
Cambridge and to this union, there were born two children, Mary C., and
William H. Mullins.
He was President to the Surprise valley Stockmens Association ever
since its organization, and until prevented by illness was an active
member in the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges, and also the Eastern Star
and Rebekahs.
He was always active in public matters of local interest and was ever
ready to help the needy and distressed. By his death, this county loses
a good citizen, one whose genial smile and hearty handshake will not soon
be forgotten.
His funeral was conducted from the M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, being
conducted under the auspices of the Surprise Valley Lodge, No. 235, F. A.
& M. of which Order he was a highly respected member. Masons and friends
from all over the county attended the funeral, which was one of the
largest ever held here, to pay their last tribute of respect to the
departed friend and brother, and tender their heartfelt sympathy to the
sorrowing wife and son and daughter.
CARD OF THANKS We take this means of feebly expressing our sincere
thanks and gratitude to our friends for their many acts of kindness and

OBITUARY OF PIONEER SETTLER
Isaac Newton Jacobs, was born in Indiana, April 2nd, 1839, and was 86
years and 12 days of age.
At an early age he went to Keokuk Co., Iowa, where he lived til 1863,
when he crossed the Plains with an ox train, himself walking most of the
way. At one time he was sent back on foot, and alone in search of stock
which had strayed from the train, and wandered several days, dodging
hostile Indians, until he finally rejoined his friends, so footsore and
weary he could scarcely walk.
He went to Virginia City, Nevada, where he engaged in the business of
making brick, until the following year, when he returned East, as far as
the La Platte River, where he met the George Wimer train coming West. He
joined them, and came to Surprise Valley, where he built the first house,
a log cabin, still standing on his ranch, two and a half miles north of
Lake City, now owned by Mr. Stewart.
On May 30th, 1866, he was married to Julia Etta Wimer, and to them none
children were born: O. W. Jacobs, of Adel, Oregon; W. S.; Victor L., and
Lester L. Jacobs, and Mrs. Lydia Tonningsen, all of lake City; Mrs. C. F.
Wheeler, of Cedarville, Mrs. F. G. Messner of Ft. Bidwell and two babies,

generous, loving humanity and charitable thereto, his hospitality was
well known and his friends were many. He successfully filled the offices
of Deputy Assessor and Supervisor of the first district. Mr. Jacobs was
preceded to the Great Beyond by his beloved wife by two years and four
months; since her death he has gradually wasted away. A sorrowing
community mourns the loss of a good neighbor and friend.

reward and his hand was ever open to the needy and distressed, and when
he left for the balmier climate of Los Angeles in order to prolong his
own life, he left behind a host of grateful friends, who sadly miss him.

LOTS OF THEM HERE
The Nevada State Journal had an account of the excitement caused at Reno
about two weeks ago when a couple of quails alighted on the top of a
building and remained there for few moments. Cedarville can go Reno one
better on the quail question, as hundreds of these beautiful birds make
their home in town and have a regular roosting places on the Cressler
property and Mrs. T. H. Johnstones place and are fed every winter by the
owners of the property and others of our town people. Many of them
remain during the summer and nest in the Park. They are quite tame

evening is pleasing to listen to, and woe betide the unlucky one who
dares to fire at them.

THE REAPER
I. N. Jacobs, one of the old pioneer settlers of Surprise Valley, passed
away at his home at Lake City about noon yesterday. His death was not
unexpected, as he has been an invalid for the past several years.
By his death, the circle of the very old pioneers is almost closed. He

enterprises in the valley, and served a term as Supervisor. He is
survived by three daughters, Mrs. Frank Wheeler, of this place, Mrs.
Lydia Tonningsen, of Lake City, Cal., and Mrs. Lulu Messner, of Bidwell

pension of fifty dollars per month, and also received $2, 430 as back

worry by Mr. Henry and his estimable wife in their declining years. The
pension and back pay were secured through the efforts of James Spalding,
of Washington, D. C. and R. H. Stanley, of Cedarville.
Some days ago, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm Bordwell was operated on

W. H. Hussa, of the Surprise Valley Meat Market was knocked down one day
last week by a gentle cow that was chasing a dog, and badly was bruised;
the animal stepping on him in several places, and had it not been for
Clarence Doss the result might have been serious. As it is, he was badly
bruised up and a couple of ribs fractured.
Mrs. Jessie Stiner, mother of Jesse and Arthur Stiner, and an old time
resident of this place and who has been spending the winter at
Porterville, fell and broke a thigh bone a few days ago. Owing to her
advanced age and the character of the fracture, it is feared that her
case is somewhat serious, but her many friends here hope to hear of her
recovery.
APRIL 29, 1925
TIMELY DISCOVERY
Last Friday evening a conflagration here was prevented by the prompt
action of Ed Ghrist and George Penland. About 8:30 oclock, they were
coming down Townsend Street and while passing Mrs. Jennie Bakers home,
saw a bright blaze in the sitting room and on going to the door found it
locked. They ran to the well and filled some buckets with water and
breaking through the window entered the building and after a fierce fight
subdued the flames. Mrs. Baker was absent from home at the time, and it
is thought that a chunk of wood rolled out of the fireplace onto the
floor, starting the blaze. Had it been discovered a few minutes later it
would have been impossible to have saved the building, and it is very
probable that several other residences in that vicinity would have been
destroyed. The prompt action of Messrs. Ghrist and Penland are to be
heartily commended.
MARRIED At the Baptist Parsonage in Alturas, Cal., April 22, 1925,
William G. Ballard, of Alturas and Miss Naomi Faye Stanley, of

our wish.

OLD PIONEER PASSES
The death of John R. Baty removes another pioneer settler of this

between the wrist and the elbow and Harry Wilson had his right hand badly
cut. Dr. Smith is taking care of their injures.
MARRIED IN SAN FRANCISCO
Sacramento, March 10 Associates of Harold J. Powers, minute clerk of
the Senate and son of Senator F. J. Powers made public his secret
marriage to Marie Street, of Cedarville, Modoc County, student at the San
Jose Teachers College by showering the confused and astonished benedict
with rice at the close of the Senate session today.
Young Powers, who did not even take his father into his confidence,
slipped quietly to San Francisco, during the Senate adjournment, met his
fiancée and the two were married Saturday morning.
Monday both were back at their desks, Mrs. Powers at the State Teachers
College in San Jose, Mr. Powers holding down his job in the Senate. One
of his associates glancing at the marriage license column of a San
Francisco paper, discovered the secret, however, and the rice shower
demonstration was staged as penalty for his secrecy. The wedding is the
culmination of a youthful romance, began during the couple school days
in Modoc County.
The demonstration, appropriately enough, came just after the two
appropriation bills, aggregating $480,500 giving the San Jose State
Teachers College additional funds for salaries and for the purchase of
an athletic field had been passed by the Senate.
Mrs. Irving Snow is reported quite ill this week.
Mrs. Martha Wylie and Mrs. Orvis Decious are reported on the sick list

nicely.
Dr. Kennedy performed a major operation on Mrs. A. R. Allenwood
yesterday, and while the case is a very serious one she is getting along
as well as could be expected.
Theodore Turner and Everett Benner arrived today, the former from Oakland
and the latter from Napa. Theodore will visit his grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. G. R. Stimers and Everett is returning from a visit to his father,
A. L. Benner, of Napa.
Thos Phillips was sentenced last week to an indeterminate sentence of
from one to fifteen years in the State prison for burglary, and Vivian
Nunnelly was sentenced to the reform school at Preston until he is of age
and then placed on probation for five years for being an accomplice to
the crime.
Claude Heard, who resides in the northern part of town, was somewhat
surprised one morning last week on going out to his barn and finding a
yearling buck deer in his corral. On his appearance, the deer commenced
making frantic efforts to escape and finally ran against the fence,
striking it with its head and breaking its neck. The animal had leaped
over the fence into the corral, but in its fright had attempted to go
thru the fence. The carcass was dressed and shipped to Alturas and
turned over to the County Hospital.
MARCH 25, 1925
NEIGHBORLY ACT
Yesterday a party consisting of Warren Robinson, Floyd Stimers, Roy
Gooch, Bernard Benner, Bert Nema, Sylvester Allen, and Guy Gooch with

SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC, CAL.
FEBRUARY 4, 1925
CONDITIONS OUTSIDE SURPRISE
R. H. Stanley, Cedarville, 1 Cal.
Dear Sir: - last week I saw a line in the Record that read like this,
Send me some news.
Now I never did send in a news item in my life and dont suppose that I
could, but for the benefit of the people who sometimes think that they
live in the worst place in the world when they are in old Surprise, I
will say, that they are mistaken.
While I am not living in Surprise Valley at present, I have a warm place
in my heart for it and a great deal of interest in it and interest in the
folks that live there, and the commercial industry that goes to make life
worth while in any country.
As to climate and the pleasure resorts, fine roads and things that the
wealthy of the world are able to enjoy, this country has it over
Surprise. But when it comes to the class that are putting up the taxes
to pay for these things, which they have neither time nor opportunity to
enjoy, they are in a worse state of affairs than are the folks of our own
country.
I have heard men for the past twenty years in Surprise Valley, and have
you, say that if Surprise had a railroad that we could market the produce
for prices that would justify the farmers to raise it. But today I can
prove to the folks that make those statements that the farmers of
Surprise Valley are just as well off in their present condition as they
would be with a railroad lengthwise of their valley.
The cowmen of Jackson County are getting 4 œ cents for steers: 3 cents
for cows: 6 cents for hogs: 75 cents for chickens, of they are good, 39
cents for eggs and about 2 cents less for their butter fat than the
California market, or just what Surprise Valley people are netted after
shipping to the outside market.
In turn they are buying through this mill, in which I am employed, and
others of the same class, hay, alfalfa, $25.00 a ton for second crop:
$27.00 for first crop and grain hay at $27.00. Most all the farmers are
buying their grain for their cows, hogs and poultry, at not less than
$60.00 and up to $65.00 in ton lots.
Land here ranges from $250 to $500 per acre and these pleasant things
that I spoke of in the first part of this letter make the taxes alone
$12.00 per acre and then you add a little interest to suit yourself and
you will have what poor men are getting rich on that are not isolated in
Surprise Valley.
I am only saying this, that those who would sometimes by discouraged
with their ups and downs can realize that the conditions all over are
alike.
Every house, lot, ranch, parcel of land, and every business in this
country is for sale, they want to move out so the folks that are selling
out at other places can move in.
Now, some will say I am home sick and trying to knock this beautiful
country, but not so. I am fine and have a good job, at good wages and am
fatter than I ever was in my life. This is the finest place to live I
ever struck and room for a lot more folks, but you want more in our
pocket than your jack knife, for some of the folks here are just about
out of a place to carry the knife.
I will say those that have a good piece of property in Surprise Valley
just stick to it for it will do you just as much good there as it will
any place, and work for the up building of your home country and industry
that will make what you feel you could get elsewhere.

YOUNG MAN DIED
David Lusk was born about three miles north of Cedarville, Nov. 14,
1899, and died in Cedarville, Feb. 7, 1925, at the age of 25 years, 2
months and 15 days.
At an early age he, with his parents, left Surprise valley, to which
place he returned about five years ago and has since made his residence
here. He was one of Eleven children, eight of whom survive, as follows:
Mrs. Bessie Oliver and Mrs. Hattie Hill, of Nevada; Mrs. Mollie Chagnon,
of Corona; Miss Rena Lusk, of Santa Ana; Miss Julia Lusk, of Hermosa
Beach; and Andrew, Henry and Harvey Lusk. The cause of his death was
cerebro-meningitis. David was a fine young man and well like by all. He
has many friends who extend loving sympathy to the sisters and brothers
in their sad bereavement. It might be said of him as Fitz Greene Halleck
wrote of his friend:
None knew him but to love him:
None named him but to praise.
His was held from the M. E. Church Tuesday evening, Rev. R. L. Waggoner
conducted the services, and his remains were laid to rest in the
Cedarville Cemetery.

W. U. SCOTT ANSWERS CALL
William U. Scott died last Monday evening at his residence at
Eagleville, at the age of 64 years, his death resulting from the after
effects of the flu, from which he had been suffering for the past year.
Bill Scott, as he is familiarly called, was one of the most prominent
ranchers and stockmen in Modoc county and northern Washoe County, Nevada.
He was a man of sterling worth, broadminded, big-hearted and generous to
a fault; a man of some faults and many virtues; a man whose hand was
always open to the needy, and who was always to the front in matters of
benefit to the community can illy afford to lose. He leaves to mourn his
loss his wife and little daughter, California, and two daughters in the
East. Viz. Mrs. Hazel Stokes, of Brenard, North Carolina and Mrs. Hattie
King, of Macon, Georgia, on brother, C. A. Scott, San Jose, and one
sister, Mrs. Emba Howett, of San Jose, to whom is extended the heartfelt
sympathy of a host of friends. His remains will be laid to rest in the
Eagleville cemetery this afternoon at two oclock.
Next week we hope to publish a biographical sketch of his life.
Mrs. Nettie Conlan of Reno, Nevada, came in on Fridays stage and went to
Fort Bidwell to visit her mother.
The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hays, of Lake City, has been
seriously ill during the past week but is reported as improving.
We learned that Aileen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Atkinson, of Lake
City, who has been dangerously ill with intestinal flu the past two
weeks, is somewhat improved and strong hopes for her recovery is
entertained.
FEBRUARY 18, 1925
STUDIO PIANO RECITAL
Piano students of Mrs. L. B. Lewis have given a series of studio
recitals at the studio during the past month. Demonstrations of their
piano study, essays on the composer Mozart, and several of his
compositions were played, well as solo numbers by the advanced students,
to which relatives of the students were invited. Vocal solos rendered by
Mrs. Wm Young were greatly enjoyed by those present. Students taking
part were: Marie Espil, Edith Page, Ethel Page, Frances Adams, Katherine
Gooch, Frankie Gooch, Mary Atkinson, Florence Warrens, Marian Bogert,
Margaret Hill, Aileen Atkinson, Wanda Heard, Grace Stiner, Vivian Hayes,
Elaine Strotts, Loyal Baty, Lois Tyeryar, Irma Cummins and Marie Harris.
FUNERAL OF W. U. SCOTT
William U. Scott was born in the Province of Quebec, Canada, July 13,
1861 and was of Scotch parentage. In 1877, he came to Reno, where he was
married to Mary Lucinda Adams, and shortly afterwards moved to Surprise
Valley and in 1891 purchased the place at which he died and where his
first wife died in 1906. In 1914, he was married to Miss Lena B.
Harking, at Burns, Oregon, who survives him. He engaged in the sheep
business and until the time of his death was prominently identified with
that industry in Northern Nevada.
He was also extensively engaged in the breeding of pureblooded Shorthorn
cattle at his Eagleville ranch, and contributed largely to the
improvement of stock in this valley.
Mr. Scott enjoyed an individuality of his own and was a diamond in the
rough and many people in Surprise Valley have been the recipients of his
generosity, and no case of need ever appealed to him in vain.
The funeral services were simple and somewhat out of the usual order, in
that no religious rites were observed. Before his death, Mr. Scott
requested Mr. F. E. Bush to read certain selections that he had made, and
also that some of his favorite songs be sung and his wishes were complied
with in a manner that was interesting to all.
The subjects were: Thanatopsis by Bryant: What is Worship? The
Garden of Eden; The Real Bible and Ingersolls Tribute to his Brother.
The subjects were read in a cleat and impressive manner by Mr. Bush.
The songs he requested were Annie Laurie, rendered by Mrs. Wm Young;
Auld Lang Syne and Sweet Afton were sung by a number of those
present.
All the subjects were interesting and the one, which seemed to vividly,
express Mr. Scotts view of life, was What is Worship?
Andrew Deter was taken ill last week and on Monday morning was taken to
the hospital at Lakeview, where it may be necessary for him to undergo an
operation.
Olin barber arrived here from Sacramento last week, to visit his mother,
Mrs. Rachel Barber, who has been quite ill; but has so far recovered to
be able to return to her home at Eagleville.
CARD OF THANKS I desire to express my sincere thanks to all who so
kindly assisted during the late illness and death of my husband.
Mrs. W. U. Scott, Eagleville, Cal
CARD OF THANKS We wish to sincerely thank the kind people of Cedarville
for their generous help during the illness and death of our beloved
brother, David Lusk.
Henry Lusk, Mollie Chagnon, Hattie Hill, Bessie Oliver, Andy Lusk, Hardy
Lusk, Rena Lusk, and Julia Lusk.
FEBRUARY 25, 1925
YOUNG MAN SUICIDES
Last Saturday evening a young man named Ralph Cavin committed suicide at
the Monchamp Ranch, just east of town, by shooting himself through the
left breast with a rifle. The rash act was supposed to have been
committed about eleven oclock Saturday night, and the body was not found
until about noon on Sunday, when his brother Everett Cavin, climbed up
into the loft of the barn to move some hay. Coroner Frank Kerr held an
inquest and the jury rendered a verdict, death from a wound inflicted by
his own hand.
He was a member of the Knights of Pythias Lodge here and his body was
taken charge of by the Order, and after embalming, the remains were
shipped to his mother at Sterling, Kansas, on Tuesday, and were
accompanied to his old home by Mr. and Mrs. Everett Cavin. On Saturday,
he wrote several letters, among which was one to his mother and another
to Edward Rinehart, one of his close friends, in which he stated that he
would end it all. In infancy he was afflicted with infantile paralysis
and was a cripple from its effects, and it is thought that his condition
so preyed upon his mind that he decided to commit the rash act. He was
about twenty-three years of age, well liked by those who knew him. The
home coming of her boy to the poor aged mother will be sad indeed, and
the sincere sympathy of all go out to her sad affliction.
Mrs. A. R. Allenwood is reported slightly improved in health, although
yet confined to the house.
Mrs. Ed Archer passed away at Alturas last Sunday, death being caused by
paralysis. Her many friends here deeply regret to hear of her death and
sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved family.
Mrs. Joshua Strief is slowly convalescing from an attack of the flu.
Joshua Strief one day last week fell from a hay wagon, striking a rock
and severely bruising his side. He is confined to his bed.
CARD OF THANKS We desire to express our sincere thanks to the people of
this vicinity for their kindness and aid at the time of our late
bereavement, in the death of our brother.
Mr. and Mrs. Everett Cavin

SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL.
JANUARY 7, 1925
30 YEARS AGO AND NOW
When hens were $3 per dozen, rosters 10 cents a piece, eggs 3 dozen for
25 cents, butter 10 cents per pound, milk 5 cents per quart, the butcher
gave away liver and treated the kids to bolognas, the hired girl
received two dollars per week and did the washin women did not powder or
paint, in public, smoke, vote, play poker or shake the shimmie.
Men wore whiskers and boots, spit on the sidewalk, chewed tobacco and
cussed; beer was 5 cents and the lunch was free, laborers worked fifteen
hours a day and never went on a strike, no tips were given to waiters and
the hat check grafter was unknown.
No one was ever operated on for appendicitis or bought glands; microbes
were unheard of; folks lived to a good old age and every year walked
miles to wish their friends Merry Christmas. Today, you know everybody
rides in automobiles, plays golf, go to the movies every night, smoke
cigarettes; drink Rukus Juice; blames the H. C. of L. on their neighbors,
never goes to bed the same day they get up, and think they are having a
heck of a time.
These are the days of suffragetting; profiteering, rent hogs and excess
taxes. If you think life worth living, we wish you a Happy New Year.
The only reason some of us dont settle down and take a wife, says Jake
Gilcher, is because we dont know whose wife to take.
Lou Delmas says that he has yet to hear of a husband who helped with the
dishes and was shot by his wife.
Harry Rinehart has been having a long siege of the flu, and but little,
if any, improvement is noticeable. We hope to hear of his recovery soon.
Joshua Hutchinson and Ted Strief did some good work last Monday in
leveling down and taking the bumps off Main Street, which makes auto
traveling better.
Miss Dorothy Rinehart is now recovering from frostbite on her face, from
which she suffered intensely. Miss Madge Cook suffered a like injury,
but they are both able to resume teaching.
Mode Page and Curtis Lusk, who are now residing at Ashland, Ore., were
here last week attending to business matters. They state that there is
but little doing over that way now, but they expect a big boom in the
Klamath Falls section in the spring.
JANUARY 14, 1925
Ernest Grove, of Eagleville and Frank Addington, of this place, are now
taking the Pasteur treatment from Dr. Kennedy for the rabies. The former
was exposed to the disease while working with and bleeding a sheep
afflicted with the rabies, and the latter was bitten by a coyote he was
taking from a trap. Frank Cramton and Young Irman, of Eagleville
completed their course of treatment last week. Numerous cases of rabies
have been reported from different places, which would indicate that the
disease has not been stamped out.

The Record extends congratulations.
JANUARY 21, 1925
MODOC NOT ON THE MAP
Yreka, Jan. 11 A demand that the California Development Board make
certain modifications in the big map recently unveiled in the Ferry
building in San Francisco is contained in resolutions by the Siskiyou
County Board of supervisors. According to the allegations contained in
the resolution, the town of Dunsmuir has been entirely omitted from the
map along with the whole of Modoc County.
The above is from the San Francisco Examiner and would indicate that
Modoc is unknown to the powers that be, and is another instance of the
inefficiency of the white collared gents who are enjoying large salaries
at the expense of the people. This map has been in course of
construction for many months and cost a large sum of money and leaving
out one entire county can only be attributed to gross ignorance or
carelessness.
PIONEER PASSES
J. H. Derevan, one of the old time residents of Alturas, passed away
inst. week and his funeral was conducted under the auspices of the Odd
Fellows Lodge, of which Order he was a prominent member for many years.
The name of Joe Derevan is a familiar word in fraternal, political and
business matters of Modoc County, and while he was living on borrowed
time, being 78 years of age, his many friends deeply regret his death.

At his ranch in Long Valley, Nevada, near Vya, George Phillip Greathouse
passed away, on January 17th, 1925. He had suffered most of the time
since returning from the Army in Dec. 1919. George Phillip Greathouse
was born near Bridgeville, Humboldt Co., Cal., Nov. 12, 1899. He was the
eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Greathouse, brother of Myrel Greathouse
and Mrs. Ruth V. Leal, of Brownsville, Yuba County; Uncle of Donnie Leal.
He received his education in the public and high schools of Humboldt and
Mendocino Counties and Santa Rosa, where his fathers people resided and
his own family spent the winters for many years. His mother being left a
widow in Dec. 1915, young Greathouse left high school to help care for
his younger sister and brother, and when the call came for volunteers in
April 1917, he was one of first to answer his countrys call. He served
two years and nine months, eighteen months of which was spent with the A.
E. F. in Siberia, where he contracted tuberculosis of the lungs and
stomach. After returning home in the summer of 1919, he did light work
for sometime in a mill and box factory at Brownsville, Cal., later on
going to the Coast, where his grandmother and uncle reside, but the
climate was too severe so he returned home and in the spring of 1923, he
came to this part of the State with F. E. Stephenson, now his stepfather,
and went with him to Long Valley, Nevada, where he filed on a 640 acre
homestead, joining W. M. Stephensons ranch there. Being much benefited
by the dry climate of a high altitude, he made his home most of the time
since, except a few months, which he spent with relatives at Rackerby,
Cal. He returned to Long Valley last Oct. with his younger brother,
Myrel, to try the winter climate there as he had another set back in
health, he decided to make Long Valley his permanent home, as he had been
so much improved during his eight months visit there before. His father
and mother came up here to spend the winter in order to be near him. He
had been bedfast since Dec. 6, 1924. Always of a kind and loving nature
he was very easily cared for. He was the oldest grandson of Mrs. M. P.
Stansberry, of Hydesville, Humboldt Co.: nephew of G. L., W. N. and R. R.
Stansberry of Humboldt Co., also of Mrs. Arad Howe of Santa Rosa and Mrs.

directed by Undertaker Kerr and assisted by the I.O.O.F. Order, his
stepfather being a member of the Order, services at the Church and grave
being conducted by Rev. R. L. Waggoner, pastor of the Church. He spoke
of the age old comfort, to which the millions look, and which is a
comfort to the stricken mother and which may be summed up in the
following lines:
For a little while we are parted from those who love us best
Who gains the goal before us,
And enters into rest.
Those acting as pallbearers were; John Reynolds, Ted Strief, Ira A.
Darst, Ed Ghrist, Ray Hill, and Lewis Fisher. Interment took place in

Ben Harriman was in from Long Valley last week and reports every thing
well out that way. He informed us that while riding over the grounds
last summer where a train of emigrants had been murdered years ago near
Massacre Lake, he saw a mound attracting his attention by its peculiar
color and on removing the earth the bones of a human being were
unearthed. Several skulls and jawbones were found, the latter with teeth
intact. Charcoal was also found in the mound and other things in use in
times long ago. He says that there are six other mounds there and later
on he intends exploring them. Whether these mounds contain the remains
of whites or Indians remains to be proven, but as the massacre occurring
at that place it is probable that they contain the remains of ill-fated
emigrants.

There was a Dr. Lambert, practicing in Sparks, Nevada during the '40's and '50's. Sparks, is only a few miles from Wadworth and when the railroad (the major industry at the time) moved from Wadsworth to Sparks, most of the people moved too. Hope that may help. Margaret

Hi:
www.nevadaculture.org has everyone in the Nevada census online up to 1920.
I checked for Daniel, Mary and children and did not find them in Nevada census. You could go online and check it out and see if you can find any Campbell relatives in Nevada. It is a wonderful site and you can search by many different ways.
Try it....you might find your Campbell.
Good Luck. Arline in Reno
