Friends Peggy and JM Bragg came across a photo recently that
absolutely astounds me and puts a smile on my face. This undated photograph

service doesn’t surprise me but
this photograph shows 14 taxi cabs lined up with a lot of employees standing nearby.
I checked the 1944 city directory and sure enough the City Taxi Service is
listed. But in 1944 Visalia had only about 9,000 people. Why so many taxis? I’m
sure Visalia now with a population of 130,000 doesn’t have 14 taxis. I’d love
to hear your thoughts on the subject. Thanks Peggy and JM for sharing!<br />

Recently Rosemary Hendrickson shared a poem about Visalia
that she found in the 1968 COS Tangent. I’m not sure what the Tangent was, but
this 8 stanza poem was written by Jim Compton as a dedication to the
publication. Jim was quite the Visalia fan. It is worth a read. Was Jim a
student at the time? Is he still in Visalia. Thanks Rosemary for finding this
cute poem.</div>

Normita Ellis Error, member of the VUHS class of 1948 and
daughter of Legrand Ellis, recently contacted me and mentioned her father.
Between Normita and Marsha Robbins, niece to Normita, we have some interesting
information and a photograph of Legrand. He came to Three Rivers in 1923, and
while recuperating from TB he took a correspondence course to become an
insurance agent, which he became. He went to work for Buckman-Mitchell when the
company was on No. Church Street. Later he opened his own insurance office at
121 So. Church. This photograph shows Legrand at his office on the west side of
Church Street between Main and Acequia. Thanks to Legrand’s daughter and
granddaughter for sharing. </div>

Peter Neeley contacted me some time back and alerted me to
an unusual Visalia photograph that he had seen on a Fresno Bee Facebook page.
John Walker, historian and a Fresno Bee Staff Photographer, I believe posted
this picture believing it was taken in
Fresno, but Peter recognized it as really Visalia. Peter knows his Visalia
pictures! Here is the photograph and it clearly shows dozens of motorcycles
lined up on the north side of Main Street between Church and Court. The photo
is looking west on Main and shows Cross Hardware, Leslie Cook Racket Store,
then the Palace Hotel. Across Court Street is J. M. Boynton’s Drug Store
(cupola on top). Appears to be early 1900s, maybe a motorcycle rally of some
kind? There has got to be an interesting story here. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks John for sharing this photograph and thanks Peter for bringing it to our
attention. </div>

We all know that Visalia is a pretty amazing place. For lots
of reasons, the town is amazing. For one, Visalia has some very neat old
buildings…buildings that are not only historically important, but also still in
use. How nice is that! We have many that fit in that category, but on Monday
evening December 12<sup>th</sup> beginning at 7:00pm, I will be highlighting 12
buildings that fit in that category. The following old photographs will be
included: Visalia Co-operative Creamery (now Arts Visalia), Studebaker Bldg
(now 210 Center), Montgomery Auditorium (now L.J. Williams), Fox Theatre,</div>

Town
Center Station Post Office (downtown post office), Palace Hotel, Pacific House,
Dudley House, Southern Pacific Depot, Spalding House, and Bank of Italy (now
Bank of Sierra). At the end of the presentation 12 enlarged (20” x 30”)
photographs of the old buildings will be auctioned off and there are two
special items also in the auction—two beautiful artistic pieces of history. The
program will be at the 210 Center (Locust and Center). It’s free and I will also
have my books for sale. The proceeds from the auction will go to the Visalia
Rescue Mission. The evening is part of the on-going 210 Connect Community
Program, a series sponsored by First Presbyterian Church and the Visalia
Times-Delta. Should be an informative and enjoying evening. Hope to see you
there. <br />

A regular reader of HH shared these memoirs of an old
pioneer named George Washington Duncan. It is a fun read, typed on 24 pages
with the last 5 or so dealing with Tulare County, especially around the Tule
River area. There are a few Visalia references, but not many. “Grizzley” bears
and lots of material describing the land. It is dated 1901 however, the date is
a little suspect, but it is early. If you would like me to email you a PDF
copy, I’d be happy to do that. Just email me and ask for a copy of the
“memories” and I will get one to you. </div>

Few people beyond the borders of our county, and indeed, some
within its boundaries who have never visited our thriving young town, can form
any adequate idea of its resources, its rapid advancement in wealth and
population, and its prospects of future greatness. Its name is often mentioned
abroad, and the inquirer, anxious for information, eagerly inquires, Where is
Visalia?</div>

The day however, is not far distant when the whole world

Bruce Geiger found this neat old photograph of an Orange
Belt Stage bus at the Visalia Bus Depot and boy is it nice. It is apparently a
1960 photograph showing the bus at the Greyhound Bus Depot at 211 S. Court
Street. During this period of time the location served the community like the
transit center does today. <br />

This location was the pickup and drop-off point for
Continental Trailways, Greyhound Bus lines, and Orange Belt stages. It served as a taxi stand as well. The second
photo shows on the far left a partial view of the depot and shows its position
in downtown Visalia. It was on Court Street just south of the alley behind the
Town Center Post Office. Great picture, Bruce. Thanks for sharing it. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Jean Shepard and Her
Visalia Connection</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On September 25, 2016, former Visalian and Country Music
Hall of Famer, Jean Shepard passed away. Jean and her family came to Visalia
from Oklahoma in the early 1940s looking for a better life. The whole family
was musically inclined but Jean had the very special voice. All the family
members worked in the fields picking fruit around Visalia including Tagus Ranch.
Even Jean did this as a youngster. Jean
attended Visalia Senior High School and graduated in 1951. Carl Mathewson was
in her class and remembered her wonderful voice especially when she sang at
school assemblies. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Phil Kneeland also knew the Shepard family and knew early on
that Jean was going to be a big country western star. Gary Holder knew Jean’s
brother Hoyt and was also familiar with the family. While in high school Jean
organized an all girl singing group which later became known as Noble’s Melody
Ranch Girls. (Jean can be seen on the far right in both photographs.) When I talked to Jean about the advertising poster shown here and
asked about “6 Musicians From Hollywood” she laughed and said they were not
from Hollywood and she wasn’t sure how that got there. Jean’s big start began
when Hank Thompson heard her sing in 1951. She and her fellow country singer,
Ferlin Husky teamed up and their song “A Dear John Letter” made it to the top
of the country chart. In 1953 she continued her climb, this time to the Grand
Ole Opry and stayed a member until her passing. I had an opportunity to meet
Jean in her dressing room at the Opry in 2011 and got to see her perform on
stage. Quite a thrill for me.</div>

country music fans, Visalia lays claim to another royal citizen—this one was
actual royalty. Eleanor or Nellie Calhoun was born in Visalia in about 1862.
Even though she left Visalia with her family for Bakersfield while still a
young girl, Visalia still claims her. Nellie had a gift. She was an actor and boy
could she act. She was a star in San Francisco and throughout the United
States. She toured Europe and became a famous French actress learning to speak
French fluently. She eventually married the Prince of Serbia and became
Princess Eleanor. Here is a rather poor photograph of her as Dora in the stage
play “Diplomacy” in about 1884. She
wrote her memoirs called <i>Pleasures and
Palaces.</i> The second photograph was Eleanor at the time the book was
published in 1915.</div>

50 years, it played host to all sorts of
events, meetings and activities. In 1963, the building was determined to be unsafe
and had to be torn down. During its heyday, it hosted wrestling matches,

It had a mountain scene in the middle and at the bottom it showed settlers
heading west by covered wagon. There were also scenes of what I believe to be Giant
Sequoias on either side. Many of these stage curtain paintings were created by
well-known artists of the day, but the artist that painted this one remains a
mystery. Does anyone know how we can find out?</div>

***Richard Drath shared a couple of things that I found
interesting and I want to share them with you. He said, “I heard that Marni
Nixon recently died. She did the voice over singing for many movie stars,
including Audrey Hepburn in <i>My Fair Lady</i>.
I wonder if any of your followers remember her singing the lead role of Eliza
Doolittle in the COS production of <i>My
Fair Lady</i>. I don’t remember what year it was, but it many have been in the
early to mid-1960s.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
***Richard also said, “I seem to remember in the mid-50s
when the Lucy and Desi movie <i>The Long
Long Trailer</i> was shown at the Visalia Theater (not the Fox, the one farther
down Main Street) that there was a long, long trailer parked outside the
theater that you could walk through after the movie. I’m hoping someone else
might remember this and my memory isn’t playing tricks on me.” </div>

***Start thinking about your December calendar. On Monday December
12<sup>th</sup> as part of the 210 Connect series, I will be doing a
presentation that I am calling “Structures, Styles and Stories.” It will be
about existing old buildings in Visalia with more information about them. It
should be informative, so watch for more details as we get closer. There will also be some pleasant surprises.</div>

Emigrants are constantly coming into our town and valley. Scarcely
a day passes but we can see from one to half a dozen wagon loads of emigrants
coming in and passing through. Let them come, we have room to spare for all who
desire to come to this, the garden valley of the State. <i>Visalia Weekly Delta, November 24, 1869.<b><o:p></o:p></b></i></div>

My good friend Alan George recently shared a couple of
Visalia tokens with me. Tokens were a merchant’s way of getting you to come
back to their business and buy more product. In a way it was what we would call
a loyalty program today. A merchant would hand out “good for” tokens to
customers offering them a discount</div>

or free merchandise on their next visit. It
was reward for old customers and provided incentives for new ones to come to
your business. The White Fawn was a saloon at 207 E. Main Street and this
token, upon presentation, earned you 25 cents in trade. The other token shown
here was for 12 ½ cent cigar at The Stag. Sweeney and Necklaussen (notice S
& N on token) owned the saloon. Thanks Alan for sharing these wonderful

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Images of America—Visalia
Book Now Available</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the past year and a half I have been compiling old
Visalia photographs, some of which were generously provided by some of you, for a book. This is another Arcadia book which
happens to be the second one I have done for this publishing company. The current
book which was just released a couple of
days ago is part of a series they call <i>Images
of America.</i> The publisher will be placing the book at local outlets, but I
have not heard yet where they will be offered locally. Amazon has them too. The
book is a historical photograph book and features on the cover a picture of the
Visalia Electric train in front of the old county jail on Oak Street. The
Arcadia series is nice for anyone interested in old photographs of towns. It can
be enjoyed straight through or glanced at with interruptions. Not a lot of
text, so you don’t have to read very much, but I have included very good
historical information in the captions. If you would like to purchase a copy
and can’t find it locally, call me at (559) 901-3227 or email me at <a href="mailto:histerry@comcast.net">histerry@comcast.net</a> and I will make
sure you get access to a copy.</div>

Smith is a local architect and pencil portraiture
artist in Visalia and is he good! Recently he created a set of 4 note cards,
each one drawn by him capturing an iconic Visalia landmark. The End of the
Trail, the COS Giant, the Fox Theatre, and the former Mearle’s Drive-In, make
up the four card set. His detail is amazing. For example, take a look at the
Fox Theatre note card—he has even drawn the individual </div>
ceramic tiles below the
theater ticket windows. He is making these available to all of us and envelopes
are also included. Printed on heavy white cardstock, the cards are top quality
and perfect for sending a personal message to an old friend the old fashion
way. Drop by his office at 303 No. Church Street in Visalia or make
arrangements with him by telephone (559) 733-7833 to get a set or two. Perfect,
too, for art collectors and Christmas stocking stuffers. <br />

Laura Heberling recently shared with me some photos from her
family scrapbook, and boy are they beauties. In mid 1916 the border with Mexico
was a “hot” spot with Pancho Villa working it over pretty good. The United
States was worried that the Mexican Revolution was going to spill over into the
United States, so US troops were sent to the border including Visalia’s Company
“D” 2<sup>nd</sup> Infantry Regiment of the California National Guard. On June
23<sup>rd</sup> of that year, about 100 Visalia national guardsmen boarded the
train on Oak Street bound for their assigned border area near Nogales, Arizona.
While the troops were in the field Visalia’s well-wishers found an abandoned
bear cub in Giant Forest and shipped him down to them to keep the troops
company. The little bear was a big hit and quickly became the company mascot.
They named him Phil-Bear, and he was treated like royalty. Here Marvin
Heberling, one of Visalia’s guardsmen, is shown holding him. Laura, thanks for
keeping the family photos in such nice condition and thanks for sharing them
with us. The other photo shows the troops in Visalia boarding the train with a
huge sendoff. </div>

Visalia’s Sweet building has been around a long time and

history. At one time the big Sweet building housed one of the largest, if not
the largest department stores in Tulare County. The Sweet family later closed
the store and sold the building. It was divided into three buildings and Links
Clothing store occupied one portion. In the last couple of years Links closed

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Buena Vista Grocery—A
Rare Photograph</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For a long time I have enjoyed and appreciated the era of the
neighborhood market. Visalia had plenty of them sprinkled around residential
neighborhood. They carried minimal groceries, lots of staples and had candy and
ice cream bars for neighborhood kids to buy. Some even had pickle barrels where
you could get a big dill pickle for a nickel. Many of them have disappeared
from neighborhoods over the years forcing shoppers to go to the big
supermarkets. Lucy Perez Stump, who I have known for many years, grew up in a
family that owned and operated a neighborhood store in Visalia—Buena Vista
Grocery. It was opened by her parents, Antonio and Alvina Perez at 117 E. Buena
Vista in about 1937 and it stayed in the Perez family until it closed in about
1990. Lucy and her siblings worked there after school. Lucy shared this
photograph of the store, and I think it is a rare one. Does anyone else have a
photograph of a Visalia neighborhood market? Thanks a lot Lucy.</div>

Visalia began in 1876 and was finished in 1877. It was built in Courthouse
Square which is located on Court Street between Center and Oak streets. After
the turn of the century, additional courthouse space was needed so they added
north and south wings to the original building. In 1952 the big Tehachapi
earthquake shook the old building and shut it down. It was red tagged as too
dangerous to occupy. A few years later, the old timer was demolished. Some
relics of the building were saved, like the redwood carving of Minerva, the
goddess of wisdom which sat at the very top of the building. Minerva is at the
Tulare County Museum. Many years ago, Annie Mitchell gave me another saved piece
of the old building. This salvaged mail slot hardware had been given to her by probably
someone in the demolition crew. The salvager etched on the back of the mail
slot some important information about it. In her later years, she gave it to
me as a keepsake and I have cherished it ever since. </div>

***Not too long ago Bob Stewart contacted me and said he had
an old milk bottle with Visalia California embossed on it, but he also said it
had the letters MCDA. He is curious as to what those initials stood for. Does
anyone know? A guess on my part says it stands for _____?________ Cooperative
Dairy Association, but again only a guess.</div>

***Recently, Joseph Vicenti while walking downtown spotted a

anyone know anything about the plaque or that name?</div>

<span style="color: blue;">The oil sprinkler or sprayer, which is being operated on the
streets in Visalia at present, is doing what appears to be splendid work. The
oil is sprayed on to the streets, while highly heated, and as a result it dries
into the dust very rapidly, and a buggy driving directly behind the sprayer,
will pick up scarcely any of the oiled dust at all. Under the old plan, the oil
was put on in large quantities, formed in puddles and stuck to the wheels of
passing vehicles and the shoes of pedestrians for a week afterwards.</span> <i>Daily Visalia Delta, March 22, 1908<b><o:p></o:p></b></i></div>

Theatre. Whether it was when they performed on stage, or when <br />
they came for
children’s movies, youngsters were always welcome by the theater management. In
the old days the theater even created a “Kiddie Club” for the youngsters, and it
was a big hit. Guy Shelley shared this official Kiddie Club pin. What a nice
keepsake. <br />
Thanks Guy.</div>

a strange concrete post that poked up from the sidewalk on the northeast corner
of Main and Liberty streets marked 1948. He wondered why it was there. It was a
great question. David Miller and a couple of others commented that they thought
it was an abandoned post that once held a post office mail collection box.
Well, Henry McLaughlin, while perusing the archives of Historic Happenings read
about the 2008 question and discussion and went to work. Henry happened to find
similar posts in Fresno and eventually solved the mystery when he found this website<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="http://forgotten-ny.com/1999/12/ancient-mailboxes/" target="_blank">http://forgotten-ny.com/1999/12/ancient-mailboxes/</a>
Great piece of detective work, Henry. Now it is confirmed! Visalia’s post
mystery is now solved for good …it once held a post office box. The Visalia
post is the first image shown here.</div>

For some time I have wanted to highlight a man who played an
important part in Visalia’s criminal justice history. His name is James S. Clack.
He came to Visalia in about 1884. He became an attorney, then justice of the
peace for Visalia Township, then police judge and then superior court judge. He
married Julia Hinds in 1907 and they lived in Visalia. She passed away in 1955,
and the<br />

For several years Justice’s Clack’s office was on
the ground level floor of the Templars Building (205 N Court across from the
courthouse.) On the far left you can see the Justice of the Peace sign hanging down.
The building, of course, is now gone. Sorry about the poor quality of the
portrait of Judge Clack here, but it’s all I have. If by chance you have one,
or know where one can be found, I would appreciate knowing. Thanks.</div>

Speaking of the Visalia Fox Theatre, Guy Shelley who worked
in construction in Visalia for many years, also shared an unusual souvenir of
the theater that was in the family. When construction for the theater project
broke ground in April 1929,much of the building materials were brought in from out <br />

The Spanish style building used cement or concrete from San
Francisco. Hundreds if not thousands of these bags of <br />
cement/concrete were
shipped to Visalia by rail. The bags were opened and mixed on the site. The
movie house had its grand opening in 1930. Here is a photograph of one of the
empty cement bags that was part of the Fox Theatre construction. Thank Guy
again for sharing. </div>

Everywhere</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rodeos historically have been a part of Visalia life for
many years. In the heart of cattle country, Visalia has hosted some of the
finest rodeo cowboys competing from throughout the country. For many years the
local Moose Club organized the event and made it an annual one, and one to be
proud of. Supporters of the different rodeos would buy these buttons and
proudly wear them each year. Here is a partial collection showing just a few.
I’m convinced that many of these and others are to be found tucked away in
jewelry boxes and drawers. They represent some of Visalia’s exciting days.</div>

that allegedly connected the old Tulare County Jail at Church and Oak Street to
the Courthouse (presumed to be the Courthouse Annex) in old Courthouse Square.
The Courthouse Annex building continues to stand on Court Street between Center
and Oak. The people who I have talked to never actually saw or walked into the
tunnel but swear it exists or existed. In each case, they had <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>heard about it from others. The idea of a
tunnel makes sense. Prisoners in the jail could be escorted below ground to the
courthouse for their judicial proceedings and therefore the authorities did not
have to expose them to the public. A tunnel also could help in preventing
escapes. Several people have mentioned that they found what looks like the
tunnel opening, now caved in, in the basement of the Courthouse Annex building
(note this building was finished in 1935). Recently, Faye Phillips, an employee
of the Tulare County Probation Department offered to give us access to the basement,
and we found what was purported to be the tunnel opening. My partner in this
adventure, Russ Hurley, a prominent Visalia attorney and history buff,
accompanied me and he climbed through the relatively small crawl opening
leading to what was supposedly the beginning of the tunnel. Once nearby, he
took a closer look at the alleged tunnel opening. Although interesting, he and
I believe it was not a tunnel, but more than likely a small channel access to
utility pipes and wires. But there are still several possible tunnel theories
that could be in play here. Can you help? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have you heard of the tunnel from sources
other than me? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please share if you have.
If you have personal knowledge of the tunnel between the jail and the
courthouse, I’d appreciate knowing. Also, if you have additional information
about this, please share and help solve this mystery. Thanks Faye, for making
this tour happen and thanks Russ, for your role as Indiana Jones. <br />

Frank. By the way I’m not surprised he jumped right on this one as Frank is a
retired postmaster in Visalia.<br />

It’s amazing how fast time flies! Looking through a stack of
old business cards sure gave me a sense of history for people and businesses.
Here are just a few that I came across recently that are outdated now but might
jog some memories for you. See anyone you know? If so, any stories about them
that you can share? All of these cards pre-date the change from the 209 telephone
area code to 559. I remember the discomfort people had when our area code
change took place. Who could remember such an odd-ball prefix like 559? Does
anyone remember what year that change took place? Note: I blocked out residence
telephone numbers on some of these cards for privacy purposes. </div>

A couple of HH followers supplied me with photographic
examples of the pranks that young people got involved in not too many years
ago. Marian Shippey Cote shared the photograph of her father, Chester Shippey
standing guard at the outhouse that had been unlawfully deposited at the
intersection of Church and Main streets on Halloween night in about 1950.
Chester was a Tulare County </div>

Deputy at one time and also worked security at
various events. Okay, this is the time to come clean, so to speak, and “fess”
up to placing this outhouse here. Come on, I know you’re out there. The second
photograph came to me from Peggy Bragg. This shot caught these young guys
scurrying up the flagpole at the Visalia library in 1959. Peggy snitched on her
husband JM and she thinks he’s the one behind the camera. Thanks Peggy and
Marian for giving us a flashback to a more innocent time. How about a
photograph of 20 kids crammed into a telephone booth?<br />

1922 at the age of 52. Her premature death shocked the community. When a new
elementary school was built in 1923, because of her popularity, the school was
named the Carrie Barnett School. The school, by the way, was demolished in 1967.

correctly identify the 1876 courthouse cornerstone. It had been built into the
1876 courthouse located in Courthouse Square on Court Street between Center and
Oak. Nice work, Tom. By the way, the 1876 cornerstone was salvaged from the
courthouse demolition and is mounted in the current Burrel Ave courthouse
breezeway.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A Main Street Beauty</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bruce Geiger was on the internet recently and found this
very nice photograph. It’s obviously a postcard but I had never seen this one
before, similar but not exactly. It is a view of Main Street looking east from
about Encina. On the far left is the Carnigie Library (gone now) and on the far
right is the Askins Sheet Metal Works (also gone now.) The Askins business was at
this location from 1904 to 1911. In order to date this picture, it helps to
know the library was finished in 1904, so I date this photograph to be from the
first decade of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. There are a few interesting things
about this photograph. Notice the dirt streets, cement sidewalks, and there are
still some wooden buildings on Main Street. I sure like this photograph! Thanks
Bruce for snagging it off the internet and sharing it with us.</div>

remember, the laundry
was on the southeast corner of Encina and Center streets. It was a big
operation with lots of employees. I have also included here a 1908 interior
photograph of the laundry which was provided by Peggy and JM Bragg. The laundry
burned to the ground in 1936. Their business then moved to East Mineral King I
believe. Thanks to Marian and the Braggs for sharing their photograph and
yearbook.<br />

Fraternal Organization</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently, Marian Shippey Cote shared a ribbon with me from
her family collection of mementos. I have to admit, I don’t know much about
Mineral King Court No. 182 of the Foresters of America in Visalia. Obviously,
we know it existed. I know in the early 1900s they met in the Woodmen of the
World (W.O.W.) hall every Wednesday evening. The hall was upstairs in the
building now called Times Place located on west side Court Street between and
Main and Acequia. Does anyone know anything about the Foresters of America,
especially the local chapter? Thanks, Marian for sharing. </div>

And again I want to thank Marian Shippey Cote for going
through family mementos and sharing this with us. This time she found a 1923
Oak yearbook from the Visalia Union High School and in it was a full page ad
for the Acme Ice Cream Company. Note that they specialized in fancy ice creams
and liquid punch. They were located at 309 N. Garden and their building is
still there, and this 104 year old building is still looking good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second image included here is obviously
the building during its ice cream days. I have been told the building was
constructed in about 1912. Is anyone else trying to figure out what “liquid
punch” was? </div>

live in Visalia now, he did in the 1960s and 1970s. On both sides of his
family, there are deep roots in Visalia. The Bacas and the Mooneys go back to
some early years in Visalia’s history. Hugh suggested that I include in HH
material from the 1960-70s era also. I admitted to him that I have a bias for
the older Visalia history, but he makes an excellent point about including
later history. So let’s do it and include some of our 1960s-1970s history.
After all, the 1960s were pretty active years with the Vietnam War, peace
rallies, the Beatles,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>drugs, hippies,
long hair, flower children…well, you get the picture. Hugh supplied a couple of
photographs to kick off the modern history era for HH. The first one is Hugh in
1971one year after graduation from Mt. Whitney High School. Here he is shown on his Harley Davidson...sort of an Easy Rider look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In later years, Hugh spent his career in the medical field dealing with heart and cardiology equipment. The second photo is of Hugh's brother Jeff in his fatigues while serving in Vietnam in 1969. Jeff, now deceased, was a machinist in the bay area and retired to the central coast. Thanks Hugh for the
nudge. Anyone else care to share your 1960s-1970s experiences? You’re fine, you
can’t be prosecuted—the statute of limitations has expired!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Jeff Edwards of Porterville, a 93-year old historian and
photographer, has been writing and taking pictures for almost all of his life.
Not only is he a great photographer, he is a prolific writer of local history.
You are fortunate if you have any of Jeff’s books. Recently, Jeff shared this
photograph with me. I don’t think he took it, but it is a beauty and was taken
soon after the courthouse annex building was finished. So I’m guessing this
photograph was probably taken about 1936.This old timer building is still
standing, but is showing its age. Thanks Jeff for sharing this wonderful photo
of the building in its glory days. </div>

The Visalia High School had a history of events designed to
raise money for the school. One of these more memorable events was called a
Garden or Lawn Fete. These yearly affairs were similar to a school carnival.
For years, these festivities including a wild west show, even had a firearm
exhibit and shooting match, bronco riding and other activities. Hundreds of
people would attend and good sums of money would be raised for the school. This
is the ribbon worn in support of the event. In 1904 this Lawn Fete would have
been held</div>

***On February 27<sup>th </sup>Mearle Heitzman passed away
at the age of 94. He, of course, was the namesake for the legendary Mearle’s
College Drive In. Visalia was so fortunate to have such a talented businessman
who was such a gentleman. Thanks to the initiative of Annie Silveria and the
willingness of The Habit restaurant, a tribute to Mearle was placed on the
marquee of the restaurant along Mooney Blvd. Thanks Annie and thanks to The
Habit for helping to honor such an important man in Visalia history.</div>

1) This plaque or cornerstone was on a government building

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Old Victorian Home
Saved With Photograph</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many of you remember this beautiful Victorian home that
stood next to freeway 198 a few miles east of Visalia. Built in about 1902, the
stately home was so well-known it became the model for the popular miniature or
doll house that Howard Hill built and called the "Visalian." This
doll house became very popular and can still be found all over
the country, probably the world. The house that you see here was built by the
Hilliard's, but was more recently known as the home of Effie Strowbridge. Effie
died some time ago, and this house was destroyed by fire in 1983. My friend,
Bill Dillberg, a professional Visalia photographer, took this photograph and
coincidentally, fought the fire as a volunteer fireman the day it burned. This
landmark home turned many an eye in its day and so many were saddened when it
burned. Thanks Bill, for taking this photograph and sharing it with us.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Jean Hedegaard and her son Tom Higgins were kind enough to
share a map with me that Tom had recently found by accident. Thrown in with a
pile of junk, Tom saved the old map and I'm glad he did. Jean has been kind and
generous to me over the years, and Tom, I discovered, is a big history fan.
This Thomas Brothers Visalia map is a good one that dates back at least to the
early 1930s. We know that because as you can see, the</div>

the Main and Encina streets location. That Carnegie building was vacated when
the new library (now the children's library) was opened in 1936. This
professionally produced map which is to scale, has display ads all around the
outside border. The reverse side of this map shows a partial portion of the map
of the state of California. Thanks Jean and Tom for sharing this amazing map.<br />

Yearly,
cowboys from all over the country would converge on Visalia to show off their
skills with horses and cattle. It was a multi-day event with a huge parade and
many rodeo competitions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The entire town
got into the spirit and city officials loved the chance to show off the town.
Street dances, fiddler, and rodeo queen contests were part of the hoopla, and
city officials<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> encouraged locals to get involved in a "Whiskerino" contest. </span>They promoted the contest by
wearing buttons as you can see. The idea was to grow and display facial hair in
keeping with the western theme of the rodeo. In this photograph, Charlie
Hammer, one of the rodeo boosters, is shown with his "Whiskerino"
button. The man next to him is Albert "Pete" Sweeney. Albert's son,
Pete, shared this photograph. By the way, Pete Sweeney is an amazing talent at
the organ. But you probably knew that, everyone does. Thanks Pete for the
photograph and sharing your wonderful gift.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Captain W. E.
"Squeak" Riley</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For some time I have wanted to highlight a man who was an
important figure in Visalia and really Tulare County law enforcement history.
His name is Captain W. E. Riley. I don't know how he got the nickname
"Squeak," but he did. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Captain
Riley was not a big man, physically, but he had a stellar reputation and was
highly respected. Squeak was the third man hired as part of the Tulare County
Traffic Squad. He started his traffic enforcement career in 1920 and was named
captain of the traffic squad in 1926. </div>

Headquartered in Visalia, the traffic
squad office was on Center Street just east of Church. In 1929, the California
Highway Patrol was formed and Captain Riley continued as the man in charge
during that transition. He retired from the CHP in about 1957, serving in
Visalia and Tulare County his entire career. For many years, Squeak was one of
the most recognized figures in Visalia. I understand he had one son. Does
anyone know if that is true? If so, does anyone know anything about him? The
first photograph shown here with his squad is Squeak in about 1926 in front of
the squad office, and the other photo was taken shortly before he retired. The
CHP office here was on the northeast corner of Stevenson and Mineral King. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Motel Harlan—An Adobe
Hacienda</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1937 plans for the Motel Harlan were drawn up by J. K.
Houghan. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Harlan, motel operators, also owned the business.
25,000 adobe bricks were made on the site and used to construct the building.
In early 1938, the doors opened for business. Located at Highway 198 and the
Tulare-Visalia Highway (now Mooney Blvd.), the Spanish style motel made in a U
shape even had garages and a coffee shop. The restaurant was operated by Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Squires. I don't know when the motel was demolished, but I
suspect it was during the construction of the "sunken" Highway 198
nearby. Does anyone remember the motel or know the Harlan's or Squires?</div>

***In the last HH I featured the Bartell-Todd Service
Station. In the photo was a majorette, well guess what? Marian Shippey Cote's
cousin's wife, Adrienne Taylor Brummer, saw the photograph and identified the
majorette as her sister, Earlene Taylor (Leonard) who is now deceased. Thanks
Marian and Adrienne for this identification.</div>

<span style="color: blue;">The condition of Main street in front of several prominent
places of business in this city is revolting. The mud and slush is such that
horses stand more than hoof deep. A few days spent hauling sand to these
quagmires would be a great relief to the eyesight of many. <span style="color: black;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tulare County Times, </i>January 5, 1893</span></span></div>

wrote that the Greenacres Airport was first called Hyde Field and in the 1920s,
it was a forest service aerial fire surveillance base. The airport no longer

varying degrees of success. The technology used and the shapes have varied
tremendously, and by 1913 thanks to the Mt. Whitney Power & Electric
Company, the city settled on electricity as the standard source of power.
Although the styles of the street lights have changed, illuminating the streets
for convenience and safety has pretty much been the main purpose. To my knowledge
there has been no documentation regarding the various styles used in Visalia,
and here is one sample of a style used on Main Street. Sure love the look.
Anyone know if any of these old timers still exist in the city?<br />

address was 309 W. Main Street and was located across the street and a
little west of the Fox Theatre. The first photo here shows a small portion of
Bartell Todd’s station during a parade with the big orange in the background.
Anyone know anything about the orange? Was it a root beer stand? The beautiful
advertising blotter shown here is courtesy of Sharon Doughty. I love the bright
colors and the wonderful artwork. Anyone know when the Bartell Todd business
left this location?<br />

**In the last HH I mentioned a couple of Works Progress
Administration (WPA) sidewalk markings by Miller's Mortuary which were found by
Richard Zack. Joseph Vicenti let me know that he had found more of these WPA
markings in the Home Builders Tract and even spotted some WPA markings on the
concrete bases of some picnic benches at Cutler Park. Thanks, Joseph, for
sharing that.</div>

**If you'd like to read more about the historic American

**In the last HH, I included a Visalia map and Phil
Esbenshade asked us readers to estimate the age of the map. I speculated it was
published probably in the later 1960s and a couple of you eagle-eyed readers
noted one of the business ads on the map proudly proclaimed that they had been
in business since 1976. So much for my estimate!</div>

**In the last HH, I shared a Church Street photograph
postcard and asked if anyone knew anything about it. Russ Dahler, Aaron
Collins, and Joseph Vicenti identified the house on the left and the cross
street as Myrtle. So the image is Church Street looking north through the
intersection of Myrtle. The J. V. Garcia home is on the far left and still
stands today. Thanks guys for helping with this photograph. I'm impressed!</div>

had several buildings built with WPA funding, but obviously sidewalks, storm
drains, etc. were part of that program. Richard Zack recently found some signed

front of Miller's Mortuary in the sidewalk on Goshen Avenue near the cemetery.
These are the first "signed" WPA projects (other than buildings) that
I have seen in Visalia. Good observations Richard, and thanks for sharing. </div>

even a decade old. Many of the settlers were southern born and supported the
Confederacy during the war. As a result, the southern sympathizers made life
difficult for the northern supporters. Concerned about Visalia's negative
influence in the Union war effort, the north established Camp Babbitt just
outside the Visalia city limits and stationed troops there to keep the peace. Peace was hard to come by and the little town suffered enormously. Here is a
photograph of Camp Babbitt. On Monday, December 14th at 7:00pm I
will present a historical program on Visalia's Civil War at the 210 Center in
Visalia. See the electronic flyer attached for more details or email me. <br />

that I realized his name was actually M. Drath! It seems to me that maybe
because he appeared so tall, we students figured that the name was appropriate!
Anyway, thanks for helping me to remember this kind man." </div>

**Richard Garcia has a question. Can anyone help? "In
the early 1970s my favorite hangout was a classy little cocktail lounge in
Visalia's Chinatown called the Nine Dragon Room. Located where the Hong Kong
Market Place Restaurant is currently, its entrance was off Center Street. The
entire length of the wall behind the bar (opposite side of the wall behind the
current bar) was a mural of 9 beautiful dragons. A barmaid named Katie told me
that an artist from San Francisco who was a heroin addict had painted it years
ago. That's all I remember through a smoky haze of black lights, cigars and
Canadian whiskey. Was it a canvas that someone saved? A wall that was covered?
Or was it lost forever? Anyone have a photo?"</div>

** It you'd like more history of Visalia's St. Charles
Saloon and its collapse, read the story in the Lifestyle Magazine for November
2015, beginning on page 12, or you can read it online at <a href="http://www.visalialifestyle.com/history/" target="_blank">http://www.visalialifestyle.com/history/</a></div>

was donated in 1919 to the county by John Cutler Jr. as parklands in his
father's honor. The park was dedicated in 1921. Thanks for your question Sally,

into One</b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">J. C. Hickman, a <i>Visalia
Times-Delta</i> reporter in the 1960s who later became the managing editor of
the newspaper shared a replica newspaper from March 1, 1928. It was an important
newspaper in that it represented a historic time in Visalia newspaper history. In
this edition, the <i>Visalia Times</i> and the <i>Visalia
Delta</i> became one newspaper—the<i>
Visalia Times-Delta.</i> Morley Maddox, the owner of the <i>Visalia Times</i> and Charles Whitmore, the owner of the <i>Delta</i> shared equal ownership when the
two papers merged. So now if you're ever asked when did the <i>Times-Delta</i> begin publication, you can
say without question, it was March 1, 1928, nearly 90 years ago. Thanks, J. C. for
this interesting piece of history. </span></div>

of the War Effort</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">Dana Lubich recently brought something to my
attention—something I didn't realize. Many know that during World War II the
Visalia Airport was home to a military bomber base (part of </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Hammer Field out of
Fresno). The unit was the 47<sup>th</sup> Bombardment Squadron, and Dana found
that the unit had a patch or logo to represent them. That's interesting enough,
but he found that the patch was created by Disney artists and actually found
the patch displayed in a book called <i>Disney
Dons Dogtags: The Best of Disney Military Insignia from World War II. </i>Apparently
Disney artists were asked to create military patches for other units as well.
Has anyone ever seen one of these? I'd love to see one. Thanks, Dana, for the

<span style="font-size: small;">Recently, J. C. Hickman shared another fascinating newspaper
replica, this one of Visalia's first newspaper. On June 25, 1859, the first
Visalia newspaper was published with the fancy name of <i>Tulare County Record and Fresno Examiner.</i> It proclaimed that it was
a politically independent publication and a "journal for the people."
The owner was Isaac Carpenter. The masthead was eye catching and allegedly represented
a scene on Main Street in Visalia with a Butterfield Stagecoach being pulled by
a four-horse team. Also in the image is a sign that says "246 miles to San
Francisco." This newspaper gave Visalia the bragging rights for having the
earliest newspaper in the Southern San Joaquin Valley. Thanks J.C. for sharing
another nice historical tidbit.</span></div>

For those of up to it, and I hope
you are, here are the clues for the next one:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.5pt;">
1) This feature is on a corner
building</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.5pt;">
2) The building was finished in 1923</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.5pt;">
3) R. F. Felchlin and Co. of Fresno
built the structure</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.5pt;">
4) It is a dominate building
downtown.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.5pt;">
Where is this building? Good luck!</div>

Kong—Food For Thought on the Menu</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.5pt;">
Everyone has heard of Visalia's Hong
Kong restaurant at 417 E. Center Street in the heart of old Visalia Chinatown.
I don't know when the restaurant first opened but it has been around for a long
time. I know it dates back to at least 1938, but I suspect it has been around
much longer than that. Recently, I found an old undated menu from that</div>

eatery.
What a fun read! It includes prices and some fun dishes like chop suey, fried
noodles, boiled noodles, mince meat, etc. In small print at the bottom of the
menu (cut off from this scan) it says "Please do not deface or mar the
furniture." You don't see that sort of request very often on menus today.
Must have been a rough crowd!<br />

Ice in the early days was an
important commodity especially in the valley heat, so in 1897 after Visalia
decided to stop having it delivered from out of the area, the town built an ice
plant. It was constructed near east Main Street at Santa Fe adjacent to the
Visalia Water Works. At </div>

that time ice was sold to commercial establishments for
about $6.00 per ton or for smaller quantities it for a half a cent per pound.
Delivery of ice became routine much like milk deliveries in the day. Early ice
boxes in homes needed plenty of ice to keep food cool during the hot summers. Ice
is another item we take for granted these days.<br />

Pattee—Historian Loses Everything in Fire Except Positive Attitude</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.5pt;">
Many of you know Dallas Pattee and
others at least know of her. She is a Tulare County historian who specializes
in cemetery history and is the creator of the long-running "Tales From the
Tomb" program. Dallas, a 60-year old native of Tulare County, lives a
simple life style without a lot of so-called "creature comforts," but
she thrives on writing and researching local history and she does a great job.
She has been a regular fixture at the Visalia Cemetery visiting graves,
researching Tulare County pioneers, and directing "Tales From the
Tomb." On May 12, 2015, her home near Munson</div>

burned to the ground.
Fortunately, she was not home at the time, but she lost virtually
everything—her family keepsakes, furnishings and equally important to her, her
historical research material including books and papers. The incident of course
is devastating to her as we can all imagine, but despite her losses, serious
on-going health issues, and limited financial resources, she maintains a
positive attitude. She currently lives with friends until she can find other
more permanent housing arrangements. Dallas has the same tough spirit as the
pioneers she often writes about. I will keep you posted in HH on her situation.
The photographs included here are of Dallas in costume (widow's weeds) as she
appeared in various productions of "Tales From the Tomb." If you'd
like to correspond or talk to her, I can provide contact information.<br />

Back in February, HH mentioned the
remodeling project going on in the former Mike's Camera location in the old

incorporating the vacated Christian Science
Reading Room area as well. I can't wait to see what James does with this
project. Wouldn't it be nice if the Harrell Bank safe, especially the fancy
safe door, could be highlighted in this new restaurant. By the way, as a
historical note, the building was built in 1889 and was originally a 3-story
beauty. In 1962, a fire reduced the building to the one-story that we see
today. Good luck, James, on your project.<br />

the years has
always been so accommodating in allowing visitors to look at the old bank safe
there. Also, regarding the Christian Science church, the Visalia Arts Consortium
has taken over the building at 400 N. Church Street, the former Christian
Science church building. According to my records, the Christian Science Society
of Visalia was organized in February 1904 and in 1914, they moved to this
building on Church Street. The site was their church until 1968. Michael Kreps
provided this old photograph of the Church Street building in its early years.<br />

Peterson for being the first to correctly identify the last mystery spot as the

Here are your clues for the next one:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) This nice old brick building was completed in 1928.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) Reportedly, thousands came to the open house ceremony.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3) The brand of product that was originally sold here,
everyone, and I mean everyone, has heard of it</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4) The business moved to this location from a building that
had been on the site of the Fox Theatre. </div>

Recently, I came across a Visalia cookbook dated 1931. It
was compiled by the South Side Parent-Teacher Association in Visalia. In
addition to recipes, it is filled with ads for local businesses and a list of the
members of the Recipe Committee. Mrs. J. R. Burum is listed first on the
committee,</div>

identified as president of the South Side PTA. It is a soft cover
book with 170 pages filled with recipes like Mock Turtle Soup, Glorified
Squash, Pigs Feet, and Sea Foam Candy. All of the recipes include the name of
the provider. Anyone know why this PTA was called "South Side?" Was
it just an obvious geographic reference?<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">And we have more</span> one-of -a -kind Pete Sweeny photographs to
share. Do you remember the Deluxe Bakery at 225 W Main Street? Well, here it is
during what I believe to be the February 1945 flood. One of these photos shows
a view looking south on Encina Street between Center and Main and </div>

Ralston's on the left and the side of the Fox Theatre on the right. Straight
down the street you can see the Deluxe Bakery on Main Street. The other photo
is a close up view of the front of the business. The building that housed the
Deluxe Bakery still stands today on the south side of Main Street. <br />

George Pope wanted me to pass along the restoration of the
façade of the old Masonic building at the Tulare County Museum at Mooney Grove
Park. Recently it was restored by the Tulare County Historical Society using
funds from the society and members of the Visalia Masonic lodge. As some of you
know the Masonic lodge, which also served as the I.O.O.F. hall </div>

built at Church and Center Street. The cornerstone of the original building was
laid February 22, 1873 with the dedication ceremony held the same year. Over
the years the building fell into disrepair and in 1963 was torn down and the
façade was donated to the historical society who had it placed at the museum.
It continued to deteriorate and in 2015 Charles Iacono, a TCHS board member and
master wood craftsman, took on the project of restoration. It's a beauty again
now. Go out and take a look at it at the museum.<br />

And yes, you guessed it, Pete Sweeney recently shared another
photograph, this time it's a Crosley automobile that he used in the family
business. Pete was a "part's chaser" for his dad who was also Pete
Sweeney and here is the Crosley he used in his work. It is shown here parked in
front of the Sweeney home at Locust and Cypress streets. By the way, sources
tell me that the Crosley company stopped production in 1952. What a cute little
buggy!</div>

Pete's grandfather, Carter, Sweeney (unknown year.) The building in which the
course was located was on Main Street cross from the Reed & Bell Root Beer

miniature golf course? Also, anyone know the approximate year of these two
photos? Thanks again Pete for all your wonderful photos.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">In August, 1962, the old Tulare
County Jail building across the street from <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the Southern Pacific Depot restaurant was
vacated and the Tulare County Sheriff's office moved to the new 4-story jail building
on Burrel just West of Mooney. It was a modern building,</span></div>

however, Monty Sands,
a long time lawman and former Tulare County Deputy Sheriff under Sheriff Sandy
Robinson, recalls a problem with the new building. He tells us, "When they
moved from the old jail to the new one everyone was thrilled. It was suppose to
be state of the art. It even had an indoor pistol range. One small problem soon
became apparent. They had failed to install a ventilation system. After a few
shots, the targets became invisible because of smoke. The room remained closed
for years. It eventually was used for the crime lab and storage." Monty
also shared that at the old jail sometimes crowds gathered outside the women's
section as the women inmates would flash the crowd<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>through an open bar window.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the way, Monty is a Tulare County native
and worked as a peace officer with the Tulare County Sheriff's Department, the
Visalia Police Department , Tulare County Probation Department, and Tulare
County Lake patrol. He has authored 5 books—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Murder
in Matheny--the April Holly Story; Just a Few More Miles; The King of Nine-Mile
Canyon, Welcome to Ocean's Mist; </i>and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In
More Innocent Times.</i> Thanks to him, some of our interesting county history
has been recorded and published. Check them out on Amazon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks for all you've done, Monty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Thanks to Marian Shippey Cote, too, for this
1963 photograph of the jail.)<br />

one exists. Well, Portland has a big Visalia/Tulare County connection.

Evans and Sontag, is actually
buried in Portland. After Evans served many years in California State Prison,
he was allowed to be paroled to Portland, Oregon to live with family. By this
time, Evans was a tired man with lots of physical problems including the loss
of one arm and one eye. This photograph of the old outlaw was taken in 1916 in
Los Angeles on a visit to see his daughter Eva. The following year he died in the
City of Roses (Portland) and is buried at the Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery.<br />

<span style="color: #29303b;">There is a historic and legendary
lawman in Visalia history who people talk to me about all the time. Floyd
"Pappy" Depew was big in Visalia history, and physically big , too,
standing 6 foot 2 inches! I was fortunate to have worked with Pappy in the last
years he worked for VPD before his retirement. Pappy was born in Tulare County
in 1909 and was officially hired by VPD in 1941. He witnessed the Hugh Garrison

of duty) shooting in 1946. Floyd had a
colorful career and he retired in 1974. Monty Sands who worked with Floyd,
remembered Pappy as a police officer and said that Depew began his career when
the "main requirement to be an officer was guts, size and strength."
Fewer and fewer people remember him today, but those who do, talk about him
with honor and respect. Was he polished and refined? No. No one would ever call
him that. But everyone that knew him has a "Pappy" story they are
willing to share. Rarely do you find a lawman so tough and so gentle at the
same time. Rest in Peace Pappy!<br />

place has suffered no more than the country in general. It has been a very
sickly year, so far, in other places as well as here. In San Francisco the
death rate rose to double the usual number, and the type of diseases prevalent
was about the same. Pneumonia and measles have run riot all over the State. In
some places malignant scarlet fever and diphtheria have been superadded. In
more distant parts, small-pox has been epidemic. On the whole there is no doubt
but that Visalia is just about on a par with other localities. </span></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Visalia Weekly Delta, April 7, 1882<span style="color: #002060;"></span></i></div>

respected educators than Ralph and Helen Drath. Ralph was born in Kansas in
1911 and moved to Visalia in the 1930s. He taught school here, then became a

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #29303b;">Doug Silveria recently found an
older "The Pioneer" newspaper for December 15, 1939. The Pioneer was
the official Visalia High School newspaper and was written by journalism
students. It reported on serious school news like, "Fourteen students
receive all A's," but included lighthearted material as well like,
"Gladys Trembly and Neal Ensign get the title of the cutest couple on the
campus." Fun stuff to read. Thanks Doug for sharing this interesting old
high school newspaper.</span></span></div>

and over the years it went through several remodels and additions. At one time
it was home to the A. E. Brooks Mortuary. Here is the building as a mortuary in
1929. Architect Michael Kreps is wondering if anyone has a photograph of this

another. Yep it is another history book and this one is called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In More Innocent Times</i>. I have not read

the San Joaquin Valley in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. It has occasional mentions
of Visalia and includes a short chapter on Spanish Town and saddle companies.
Just glancing through it, I know you will recognize topics familiar to you. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In More Innocent Times</i> is available at

Marilynn Mitchell at Josten's and she mentioned an old photograph that had been
in her father's (Hank Speer, the well-respected identification officer with the
Tulare County Sheriff's Dept.) collection. His picture is shown here and is of
an old house on Acequia near Willis. Marilynn believes the house once belonged
to a superior court judge. I did some further checking and I now believe that
this house belonged to Judge W. B. Wallace. It was torn down years ago, but there
is an interesting story connected to it. The judge complained vigorously to
Herbert Askin who owned a tin smithing business nearby on Main Street. He said
the business was too noisy and disturbed his peace. Askin moved his tin shop to
a new location on E. Main Street. Thanks for the photo, Marilynn</span></div>

think to be a pretty rare item. The Visalia Junior College opened for the first
time on the Visalia High School campus in 1926. The junior college which became
COS stayed on the high school campus until 1940 when it relocated to its new
location on Mooney Blvd, where it is now. This Volume 1 Number 1 VJC
campus<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>newspaper was issued on September
29, 1933 and was 4 pages single sided and 8 ½" x 13" in size. It says
it was "mimeographed" no less. Now there's a term we rarely hear
anymore.</span></div>

Tuggle and I had coffee and Bob shared these photographs. They are undated, but
I believe they were taken during the snowfall in Visalia in January 1962. The
two pictures on top show the Visalia City Hall complex on Johnson Street. The
bottom photo shows a parked Visalia police car covered in snow also at city
hall. The snow sure looks refreshing in these days of triple digits. Thanks,
Bob, for sharing.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Congratulations to
Virginia Strawser who was the first to correctly identify last month's mystery
spot. It was of course the motel at the corner of Johnson and Main streets—a
motel that has been there for many years. It is has had several names over the
years and is now America's Best Value Inn. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #29303b;">If you're ready for
the next mystery spot, here are the clues:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #29303b;">1) It is an
overcrossing of Mill Creek. (Hint: Mill Creek as you know goes under Main
Street in several spots in downtown Visalia, but this crossing has the creek
exposed on either side of it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #29303b;">2) This overcrossing
was constructed by Thompson Brothers, Central Contractors, Fresno Cal and has
that marking on it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #29303b;">3) It is near a park.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #29303b;">4) It is surrounded by
oak trees.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Where is it? Good
luck. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Bruce Geiger found
this nice old photograph showing a view looking north on Court Street from
about Acequia. Taken in about 1910, it shows Mt. Whitney Power Company when it
leased office space in the S. C. Brown building on the east side of Court. In
1912 Mt. Whitney Power built a new building on W. Main Street (where Quality
Jewelers is now.) In this photograph you can see adjacent to the Brown to the
left, the Harrell Building. And and to the left of that on the same side of the
street, but across Main is the Palace Hotel. Notice the evidence of transition
from horse and buggy to automobile. Nice find, Bruce! </span></div>

interesting piece of history lately and wanted to share it. It is an original
1939-1940 Public School Directory for Tulare County which includes Visalia.
Visalia schools are listed by name as well as teachers, and it even gives their
home addresses. There are some other tidbits of local school information
included as well. Only 3 of the 7 school listed in this booklet are still with
us today. They others are gone. Do you recognize the names of any of the
teachers or administrators mentioned here? Thanks, Sandy for sharing.</span></div>

found this very interesting aerial photo in her family possessions of the
Southern California Edison Company "pole yard." It was located on Ben
Maddox at Goshen Ave. After Edison vacated this site, the land sat vacant for a
number of years and is now occupied at least in part by Sonic, the fast food
drive-in. By the way, Mt. Whitney Power Co. was bought by Southern California
Edison many years ago. Marian tells us that her father worked at this pole yard
as a "mapper." It doesn’t look like Goshen Ave went through when this
picture was taken. Thanks, Marian, for sharing.</span></div>

was not named for the towns of
Tipton or Lindsay. The school in fact was named after a pioneering and
prominent school official named Tipton Lindsey. Built in 1891 at Oak and Locust
streets, the school was poorly constructed and in 1916 it was deemed unsafe for
students. As the future of the abandoned site was being discussed, citizens of
Visalia fought hard to make sure the City of Visalia acquired it for a future
city library. Their wish came true and the city did buy it, and in 1936 the
Visalia City Library was built there. <br />

the display cases would rattle. It's an interesting observation and I remember
the same thing. Those hardwood floors would tend to creak and loosen up and
there would be a little shaking and rattling going on with the display cases
nearby. Are there any of those floors around anymore in Visalia.</span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #29303b;">Recently, Bruce Geiger asked
about the Pacific Sugar Co. in Visalia. The company began here in 1905 and for
about 10 years it processed sugar beets and had a sizeable workforce. But where
was it located? The factory was either at Bridge and Tulare streets or Santa Fe
and K Road. Good sources tell me it was located where the Pacific Olive Plant
was once located. The problem is, I believe Pacific Olive had locations at both
of the above locations. Bruce would like to know where the factory was located
and I would too. Can anyone help with this mystery? Thanks Bruce. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> almost always think about
the Southern Pacific Depot, now a restaurant. It's logical as the nearly
century old building still stands today. But Visalia had another depot that was nearly as
famous. The Santa Fe Depot was located on the southwest corner of Main and
Santa Fe streets and it stood there for decades providing passenger and freight
service. The first Santa Fe "through train" came to Visalia in 1900
and 1,000 people were on hand to greet it, although not at this station. This Santa Fe Depot building
came later and was torn down in 1968 to make way for the expanding downtown auto
trade. In fact, Arnold Wiebe Buick and Pontiac brought the property. </span><br />

the Tulare County Museum. The Mooney Grove museum has it on display and I'd

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #29303b;">The Hyde name is a well-known
and well-respected name in Visalia and is recognized throughout California.
Recently I heard from Dorothy Pifer Osborn who was born on the Hyde Ranch. The
ranch was large and included the dairy property near where K-Mart is today
which by the way is where the giant milk bottle was perched on a </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">wooden tower.
The larger part of the ranch was located to the north of there and would now be
where the golf course is at the Visalia Country Club. Luella B. Hyde was born
in 1883 to Cuthbert Burrel and she married Richard E. Hyde. They lived in this
ranch house on what is now the golf course of the country club. Dorothy recalls
the palm tree lane that you would enter off of Goshen Ave which led to the
ranch property. The Hyde home was on the ranch property and Dorothy was nice
enough to sketch her recollection of what the ranch looked like in its heyday.
The photos show the Hyde home that was on that property. Also, as you can see,
the palm lined lane can still be seen on the golf course today.</span><br />

Jim Motley. In the early 1930s Jim sold the restaurant to his brother John and
Jim moved to Fresno where he opened another restaurant. In this photograph
Motley's can be seen on the left side of this presumed 1945 flood picture.

interesting story about the old tavern. She wrote, "When I came to teach
and coach at the Visalia Union High School and Junior College in 1941, it was
customary for some of the established women teachers, after the school day, to
go to the Wunder Bar to talk. Against the west wall there were several booths
each with a table and chair; on each side of the booth entry way a curtain
draped, which could be pulled to closet the patrons. I was invited to go with
them, this clutch of female teachers had been here a long time and were well
established with the community. Behind the curtain we could have a beer without
criticism, free of the social restraints. Here we could exchange gossip, talk
about the school board policy as we sympathize, supporting each other. It was
fun—a method of reducing the pressure expectations of female teachers. Exciting
to do so illicit an act, defying the culture."</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #29303b;">Recently I met with Lee Otto
Warren to talk about his father who is also Lee Otto Warren. Senior was born in
1910 and was probably known more by his nickname, Sandy Warren. Sandy was quite
a musician and he lived on Center Street near Taylor's Hot Dog Stand. He
attended Visalia High School but dropped out in his senior year to join Augie
Schultz and the Hayseed Band. He played multiple instruments over the years,
was artistic and at various times, worked as a ranch cowboy. During his years
as a musician he played with various local bands including</span></div>

the Sleepy Heads,
Smokey Mountain Rangers, Hayseeds and Rolling Stones (no, not those Rolling
Stones). Sandy performed frequently at the KTKC radio station in Visalia. By
the way, Sandy entered the military service in 1939 and was discharged in 1943
with a full disability. He died in 1966 and his family has kept his
musical instruments.<span style="color: #29303b;"> In this group photo, Sandy is
on the far left and the band is called the Smokey Mountain Rangers. The other
photo is Sandy working the microphone solo. Does anyone recognize any of the
other band members? Thanks Lee for sharing some of the story of your father. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Some time back, Michelle Wiebe,
owner of Pacific Treasures in downtown Visalia, alerted me to an interesting
discovery she made on the second floor of her building at 219 W Main Street. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The building appears to have been built before
1912, however, I cannot find its construction date. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the years the front of the building has
been modified. At one time the second story had windows facing Main Street, but
they are now </span></div>

covered with a façade. Since at least the 1940s, it has been known
as the Cross Building where Robert F. Cross had has real estate and insurance
office. By the mid 1950s the upstairs rooms were called the Cross Apartments.
At that time Lloyd F. Fletcher, a local architect, had his office on the second
floor. And his name could be seen painted on the window advertising his
services. While Michelle was looking in the vacant upstairs, she discovered the
window painted sign showing his name, now covered with the facade. This is what
she found with the partial name of Fletcher. It's not visible today from the
outside. Thanks, Michelle, for your attic archaeology.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">John Bergman recently found this
neat old postcard. The front shows a grove of oak trees and the caption says,
"An oak grove owned by the county, purchased for a park site, near
Visalia, Cal." The back says: Published by Newman Postcard Co., Los
Angeles and it says Made in Germany. The unused postcard gives no direct clue
as to where<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this grove was located, but
given</span></div>

the fact that the land that is Mooney Grove Park was purchased by the
county in 1909, it really has to be Mooney Grove.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other park possibility is Cutler Park,
however the land that it is located on, was donated by the Cutler family to
become a park. The county did not purchase the land. Since the caption on the postcard
says "purchased," it leads me to believe the postcard is Mooney Grove
Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks John for sharing this
postcard – one I had never seen before.<br />

noticed that the workers had unearthed a piece of early
Visalia history. The Link's store was pretty much on the exact location of the
Wunder Bar—a Visalia "watering hole" for many years. As you can see,
the entrance to the saloon/restaurant had Wunder Bar printed in tile on the
floor at the entrance. If only these tiles could talk. Thanks Tom for your good
eye for history.<br />

dealership. The structure still stands today, I believe as part of Kaweah Delta
on the southwest corner of Acequia and Locust streets. The unique 3-diamond
pattern at the top of the building clearly identifies it as the same old timer
that is there today. The more contemporary photo of the building included here
is one I took in 2009. Does anyone recognize the name Verfurth in Visalia
history?<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">until 2006 when the Hugh Mooney statue was placed on the site. At that time,
the bronze marker was removed from the granite rock and remounted on the new
base of the Mooney statue. The park was officially designated a park in 1909
when the county purchased the land from the Mooney family. But the land was
being used as picnic grounds for at least 20 years before that. The Mooney
family was very generous with their land allowing people to use it regularly.
Thanks, Hugh, for sharing this clipping. </span><br />

<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: small;">Peter Neeley is
working on a couple of mysteries. One involves a Visalia teacher named Vera
Jones who after marriage became Vera Dice. In about 1909, Vera, shown here on
the far left in this 1909 Visalia postmarked class picture, taught school in
Visalia. Anyone have any history on Vera? The second mystery involves this
school itself. Does anyone</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> recognize it? Apparently it was near Visalia. There
is no indication as to its name, so help identifying it would be nice. (Also
shown here is a close up of Vera.) It is interesting to me that these small
schools were made up of young and older students. The older students played an
important part in teaching the young ones. The older students benefited from
their teaching role as well. Thanks for sharing, Peter. Let's see if anyone can
help.</span><br />

used as a long-time advertisement for the dairy which was located about where
K-Mart is today. The giant bottle was a well-known landmark and a helpful point
of reference for Sequoia Field airplane pilot cadets circling the area. The bottle was made in 1926 by Isaac Clark
(far left) owner of Visalia Plumbing Co. Thanks to Christine Walker Clark who
shared this family photograph. Anyone know what happened to this bottle?</span><br />

on the wall? Anyone have a clue? By the way, James will be opening his upscale
"hamburger joint" (his words) in the old drugstore. With all his work
pending, it is obvious James will be establishing a showcase business. I for
one am anxious to see what he does with this historical location and will local
history play a part? Thanks Kathy and

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #29303b;">Directories—A Basic Tool for Historical Research</span></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: small;">This is old news for
serious genealogists and veteran historical researchers, but there are plenty
of folks that are just starting out and can benefit from this information.
Directories are books that are basically old telephone books, but they are much
more. Yes, they are an alphabetical list of residents with occupations and
addresses, and they also give spouses first names. The directories are often
called "reverse directories" because in addition to an alphabetical
listing of names, they give a listing of streets and identify occupants based
on their numerical address on the street. So if you know that someone lived on
a certain street in a certain year, but you have forgotten their name, you can
search the addresses on the street and refresh your memory on the forgotten
name. In later years directories provided a listing of telephone numbers, so if
you just have a phone number, you could find out who had that number.
Classified ads and types of business listings are included as well. Directories
are a very helpful tool in research and they can also provide further
investigative leads for a more indepth search. The first directory book for
Tulare County is 1888. The History Room at the Tulare County Library has almost
a complete set of these directories, so stop by and take a look. Volunteers can
help you get started. Guaranteed, you'll have fun with these. </span></div>

Quite a few of
you were able to identify the last mystery spot correctly, but Virginia
Strawser was the first. Nice work, Virginia! By the way, the abandoned wooden
pole mounted in the sidewalk is on the south side of Oak Street between Court
and Church. I am sure this pole with nothing attached to it served a purpose at
one time, but I'd sure like to know.</span></span></div>

spot. What or where is this building? Here are your clues:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: x-small;">1) The wavy glass in this window
could be 138 years old.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: x-small;">2) The window appears to have
had a swinging shutter on it, based on the iron hinge pieces still mounted into
the structure next to the window.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: x-small;">3) The building that holds this
window could be the oldest commercial building still in use in the southern San
Joaquin Valley.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: x-small;">4) The building is considered
one of Visalia's Centennial buildings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #29303b;">Two Ladies Flood Picture – Mystery Solved!</span></b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: x-small;">For many years this photograph
showing two young Visalia ladies standing in 1945 flood waters has attracted attention,
but up until now, the ladies have been unidentified. This photo was one of the
pictures recently shown at the 210 Café flood presentation and Fresno TV
Channel 24 (KSEE) covered the story. KSEE aired this photo on their news
coverage and Becky Clark saw it and recognized her mother-in-law as one of the
two young ladies. She snapped a picture of the photo from the tv screen</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf4YHx76nwzDiiF065bbfLAhmbBh8HPYITuWHcMlQjw8J7K0oCns4RDIXmugmCkhizErzrUQXMdZSAhvrMGevGRH-u2KF9HSkg-VzSGk6peR7vWr_CI62cr8FxBdGzYee5mMyfz_fXyqs/s1600/poster+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf4YHx76nwzDiiF065bbfLAhmbBh8HPYITuWHcMlQjw8J7K0oCns4RDIXmugmCkhizErzrUQXMdZSAhvrMGevGRH-u2KF9HSkg-VzSGk6peR7vWr_CI62cr8FxBdGzYee5mMyfz_fXyqs/s1600/poster+2.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>and showed
it to her mother-in-law who confirmed that in fact it was her. So thanks to
Becky, we can now confirm that the young 17 year old lady on the right is
Christine “Chris” (Walker) Clark and to the left is 17 year old Charlene
Willaman (unsure of last name spelling.) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chris, now 86 does not remember this flood
photograph but remembers Charlene as her good friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is working hard to try and find her high
school friend who she believes might be living in Southern California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I apologize for the rather unclear photograph
I took of Chris and her son John and daughter in law Becky. I am embarrassed to
say that the 1945 flood picture is clearer than this one I took in 2015.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks Becky for your keen eye and thanks also
to KSEE for being instrumental in solving this mystery. </span><br />

drugstore was published in the February 7, 1889 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tulare County Times </i>newspaper. Thanks for sharing this great piece
of Visalia history, Richard. By the way, a Griggs connected story unconnected
to this bottle has circulated. In 1886 the Griggs family nearly lost their
4-year old son Stewart. The young boy fell into a fast moving Mill Creek near
Center and Court, but fortunately was rescued by a passerby who saw the
drenched youngster hanging on for dear life to weeds growing in the channel.</span><br />

Depression</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: x-small;">During the Great Depression the
federal government was looking for public works projects that could put people
to work. Visalia applied for several, one of which was the Visalia Municipal
Hospital. In February 1936, Visalia received formal approval for funding the hospital
and construction began shortly thereafter. It was designed by Fresno architect
Ernest J. Kump and built by R. W. Brown Construction Co. of Madera. The
building was made up of 4 wings with a rotunda in the center. The one-story
brick and re-enforced concrete building (located about where Kaweah Delta
Hospital stands today) had 32 beds. The construction cost was $55,000 and
Visalia contributed about $29,000 of the total. In 1962 a new hospital was
approved and Kaweah Delta replaced the depression era structure. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: x-small;">In 1919 a group of civic-minded
Visalians created Visalia Home Builders (VHB), an organization formed to assist
buyers acquire and finance homes. Visalia was experiencing a housing shortage at
the time and the VHB opened up tracts of land on which home buyers could build.
The first tract of land they opened was in 1920 - an area bounded by Watson,
Conyer, Noble and what is now the Mt. Whitney High School campus on the south.
This subdivision </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">was called Tract #1and is now a designated historic district.
In 1936 Tract #2 was finally started, delayed by the effects of the depression
years. This tract of land generally was bounded by Giddings, Mineral King,
Divisadero and Sierra Drive. On February 25, 1936, the VHB opened up their
model (The Monterey) in Tract #2 located on the northwest corner of Burrel and
Dollner. It was a 3-bedroom 1- bath home and the open house attracted over 300
people the first day to tour the state-of-the-art home. "The Monterey"
continues to stand today and is in the care of its owners Darwin and Stephanie
Greenfield, who have owned the home for the last 15 years or so. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b; font-size: x-small;">In about 1904 Carl T. Kathe came
to Visalia and for the next 32 years he was one of the town's respected
jewelers. The Missouri native married Lora Parker of Visalia in 1909 and within
a few years (probably about 1913) they built their dream home on the northwest
corner of Oak and Encina. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The home still
stands today, although it has been remodeled a number of times. Over the years,
Kathe's jewelry business was <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in a couple

probably responsible for the placement of the antique sidewalk clock now in
front of Main Street Coin Co. at 204 W Main. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d sure like to know more about this landmark
clock as it is very iconic. Kathe died at the Visalia Municipal Hospital in
1936, the same year that brothers Charles and Bruno Bonocich bought Kathe's jewelry
stores. They renamed the business Bon Brothers Jewelers and it too remained in
the downtown business district for many years. The beautiful Kathe home is about
100 years old and still has much of its original charm. </span><br />

opprobrium. During the last few weeks the people of Visalia have been
contributing to the support of one of these itinerant peddlers to the tune of
$50 to $75 per day, while the city did not derive as much benefit from the
itinerant in license fees as she does from the regular merchants. The goods
sold by these street venders were declared to be the cheapest of the cheap, and
all who purchased them will learn so to their chagrin. Steps may be taken to
induce the city trustees to pass an ordinance requiring a license from such
fakirs that would be prohibitive. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Visalia Daily Times, </i>January 7, 1913.</span></div>

Bragg who was the first to get the October mystery spot identified correctly.
The "spot" was the plaque location commemorating Visalia's first
store built in 1854 by Nathan Baker. The plaque is mounted in the sidewalk in
front of the Enchanted Playhouse Theater at Main and Garden streets. Nice work,
Peggy.</span></div>

enlargements of classic Visalia flood pictures. Thanks to the generosity of
Costco in Visalia, one or more of these 20" x 30" enlargements could
be yours for the winning bid. And by the way, they are suitable for framing.
Carl Switzer, a Visalia native, will be the auctioneer and although he is not a
professional auctioneer, he is good, really good. All the proceeds from the
auction will go to the 210 Café and their outreach effort. Hope to see you
there. It should be fun! I will also have a few of my books there as well for sale.<br />

<span style="color: #29303b;">Recently Lee Coats, son of
George Coats, contacted me and passed along this story. Yancy Stokes, Lee's
great great great grandfather, was born in Kentucky in 1814. He lived in what
was Tulare County at the time (now Kings County) and when Yancy died in 1885,
he was buried in the Tagus Ranch Cemetery. On his grave was an</span></div>

shaped headstone. Sometime, probably in the 1940s, the cemetery was abandoned
and became ag land. The headstones at the cemetery disappeared. Sometime later
a ditch tender found Yancy's discarded and damaged headstone, and gave it to George
Coats knowing he was a relative. Lee inherited the headstone and made it his
mission to get it repaired and back in a cemetery. Visalia Cemetery was
accommodating, so today the obelisk headstone is in the Stokes section of the
Visalia Cemetery, of course without the body of Yancy. By the way, before
coming to California, Yancy fought in the Black Hawk War in the upper midwest
in 1832—the same war that young Abraham Lincoln fought in. Just curious, how does
a cemetery just disappear?<br />

Zane Steuben, shown standing in this circa 1890 photograph, was the
local agent and several Steuben family members had worked for Wells, Fargo over
the years. Notice the wooden boardwalk. The Wells, Fargo envelope shown here originated
at the Visalia Wells, Fargo office as you can see. Notice the Visalia
cancellation. Thanks, Dustin, for making Wells, Fargo part of Historic

new one looks more like the original and has taken advantage of modern
features, for example, LED light bulbs. To me the new one has maintained the
character of the old movie house. The amazing talent of volunteer, Rich Manley
and the leadership of committee chair, Dana Berry, helped make it possible. So
many other people and companies had a generous hand in making this upgrade a
reality. My compliments to all who recognized the importance of keeping, the
original "feel" of the old theater. To see what I mean, take a look
at the marquee in this 1932 picture and compare it to the new one (black background, white letters.) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">For many years, the
Visalia-Delta newspaper was in the heart of Visalia. This ornate building sat
on the eastside of Church between Main and Center streets. Proud of its
newspaper's beginning, the top of the building advertises its start as
"1859." The upstairs was occupied by Dr. J. J. Gussenhoven, physician
and surgeon. George W. Stewart, owner of the newspaper, is the man standing in
the doorway fourth from the right. By the way, Stewart is called the Father of
Sequoia National Park. Thanks again go to Dustin Smith for reminding us of this
important building that was torn down in the late 1960s. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #29303b;">Harvey House – Could it be a Fred Harvey Original?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">For over six decades, Visalia
was home to the Harvey House. Built about 1904 on the northeast corner off
Garden and Main streets, it was a Spanish style, ornately decorated structure. Later
it had a name change and it became the Hotel Harvey. It had quite a past,
including rumors of ladies of the evening occupying rooms</span></div>

there. Built over
Mill Creek it was vulnerable to high water, and in January 1956, after Mill Creek
became plugged, water bubbled up into the interior of building. I have often
wondered if this old lodging house could have been one of the famous hotels in
the Fred Harvey chain. Fred Harvey hotels tended to be close to the Santa Fe
Railroad and our Harvey House was only about two blocks from Visalia's Santa Fe
Depot. The architectural style seems to fit the Fred Harvey hotel design. This
building was torn down in 1971. Could this have been a Fred Harvey built hotel?

<span style="color: #29303b;">***In the October HH, Debbie
Harland asked for information about what she remembered as the Allen Way Market
by Highland School. Several of you responded including Jim Drath who wrote,
"I used to ride my bicycle past there every day while attending Houston
and Green Acres Schools. Allen Way runs between Stevenson, north of Grove,
westbound to Turner Street, where it actually ends at the east gate to the
Visalia Cemetery. The Allen Way Market was located on the north side of the
road between Stevenson and Conyer. It was attached to a residence where the
owners lived. When you walked into the store, they would literally walk out of
their house into the market and help you. The store was a great place to get a
5 cent Snickers bar for a guy's lunch bag."</span></div>

Shack - Root Beer and Light Lunches." Has anyone ever heard of The Shack? Of
course it's gone now. The site is now part of the parking lot across the street
from the downtown post office. This view is looking to the west side of Court

famous Visalia restaurant. In this picture you can even see one of the

restaurant closed and the building went through several different restaurant

did not have his obituary and I would love to get a copy. Anyone have access to
the Churchill County Eagle Newspaper for about August 1907? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peter, thanks for putting the word out. I
believe you are responsible for the contact I received from Monica. By the way
James was very talented and among many things, he was the inventor of a
one-rail railroad and actually demonstrated it in Visalia in 1879 on Main
Street. James is identified as the man standing 2<sup>nd</sup> from the left in
this circa 1896 photograph. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #29303b;">Las Palmas—Probably Visalia's 2<sup>nd</sup> Oldest
Family Restaurant</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Recently, Joseph Vicenti invited
me to join him on a visit to Las Palmas Restaurant on E. Main Street. The
building that houses this popular restaurant is in a wonderful old historic structure
dating back to 1904 or so. Gilbert and Alicia Cortez own the building and
restaurant, but the restaurant was started by Gilbert's parents, Louie and Lena.
They opened Las Palmas originally in about 1943 on the west side of Garden
Street</span></div>

between Main and Center (now a parking lot.) In the fall of 1967, the
Cortez family moved to their present location at 309 E. Main Street. Gilbert
and Alicia are hands-on owners and are so proud of their restaurant, and they
should be. They have a very loyal customer base. This couple prides themselves
on "made from scratch" meals and they are also proud of their very
old historic building.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This two-story
building housed businesses prior to the Cortez family occupying it. It held the
Pioneer Market, Money-Back Harry's, Edelstien's Mens Clothing, Soo's Meat
Market, Fairway Meat Market and Lowrey Organ Company. All of those were on the
ground floor at one time. The second story was once the St. Elmo House, Pioneer
Apts, Cozy Rooms, and a boarding house. Thanks Joseph for arranging our visit
to Las Palmas and thanks to Gilbert and Alicia for their gracious hospitality.
They are shown here standing in the front of their building. The second photo
shows the Garden Street location during the 1955-56 flood. Notice the sign
above the entrance. <br />

<span style="color: #29303b;">***Debbie Harland has a
question. She was raised in Visalia and recently was "cruising the
internet looking for reference to a corner market that was in Visalia when I
was growing up called Allen Way Market. I remember it as being very small and
plunked in the middle of a residential neighborhood over by Highland School. My
friend there tells me it was near the Four Square Church. Any idea, or am I
imagining things," she asks? Can anyone help Debbie?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">***Barbara Tootle O'Dell is
looking for information about her father's side (the Tootle side) of her
family. Anyone with information on the Tootle family in Visalia, she would love
to hear about it. By the way, her mom's mother, Celia Thompson owned Celia's
Café near where the Red Carpet Car Wash is today. Anyone remember Celia's or members
of the Tootle family?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">***If you'd like to know more
about the old "Good Templars Hall" on Court Street across from the
old courthouse, pick up a copy of the September 2014 Lifestyle Magazine. There
is an article with photos on the old time building starting on page 14. You can
also read online by going to: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><a href="http://issuu.com/lifestylemagazine/docs/lifestyle_sept_web_8d6434373064cd" target="_blank">http://issuu.com/lifestylemagazine/docs/lifestyle_sept_web_8d6434373064cd</a><span style="color: #29303b;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">***Jo Audino remembers a
Sportsman's Club banquet on Main Street maybe in June of each year. She also
remembers a car show that may have had a bbq, and wonders if there was a
connection. Or were the Main St food events separate? But she is specifically
asking about the Sportsman's Club banquet. Anyone have any memories of that?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">***Okay, I have more information
on the old farm homestead at Caldwell and Linwood. The barn and tank house are
still standing on the site. The site is being developed as the new home for a <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Montessori school. For many years it was the
ranch of Charles and Lucene Raibley. John Raibley believes they moved there in
1917. Go by and take a look. These relics of the past, namely the barns and
tank houses, are disappearing very quickly in Tulare County. Thanks to all of
you who led me to John Raibley for more information about this property. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #365f91; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191;">Another
much-needed permanent improvement which Visalia must make as soon as
possible—if this city is to keep pace with other towns of the county and valley
in attracting outsiders and tourists—is the main approaches to Visalia, those
streets leading into the city from the east and north in particular. Approaches
such as that on West Main Street for the principal roads into Visalia would be a
wonderful betterment to this city; and it is hoped that the city board will
find itself in a position to make these notable improvements soon. </span></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Visalia Daily Times, May 10, 1919</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Patricia Geiger recently asked
about the train wreck involving the Visalia & Tulare Railroad. It is an
interesting story and deserves a mention here. In 1888 a little commuter train
was kicked off between the towns of Visalia and Tulare. The little line travelled<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>between Visalia and Tulare and back again. It
struggled to stay alive financially, but its survival was not in the cards. On
May 5, 1900 with 35 passengers onboard it left Visalia for Tulare. Cruising at
about 20 mph near what is now Caldwell and Mooney, Engineer Inness was loading
wood in the engine firebox and didn't see a cow,</span></div>

some say calf, that wandered
onto the tracks. Inness applied the brakes but not in time. He hit the animal
and it wrecked the little train. The cow was killed and the accident was also
fatal for the railroad. Shortly after the incident, the remaining rolling
stock, rails, ties and other equipment was sold to a lumber company in Seattle.
That ended the Visalia & Tulare Railroad. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Recently, I was listening to a
historical podcast and the narrator was talking about water and irrigation on
the land that is now in New Mexico. He kept referring to a small irrigation
channel that he pronouncedd "a say kia". I was intrigued by the word
and finally realized he was using the correct Spanish pronunciation for the
word we are all familiar with: Acequia as in Acequia Avenue. I understand
California is full of Spanish names like Sierra Nevada, Los Angeles, Santa
Clara, and so on, and frequently, the Anglo pronunciation is a little different
from the Spanish. The Anglo pronunciation of Acequia isn't anything like the
Spanish pronunciation. If you'd like to hear the exact pronunciation of the
word, go to: </span><a href="http://www.spanish.dictionary.com/">www.spanish.dictionary.com</a><span style="color: #29303b;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the search bar
at the top, type the word acequia and click search. Midway down in bold is the
word <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">acequia </b>with a little speaker
next to it. Click on the speaker and hear the correct pronunciation of acequia.
I think you will be surprised. </span></div>

noticed the old barn and tank house at the corner of Caldwell & Linwood.

<span style="color: #29303b;">After I mentioned the
Ralston-Purina mill in the last HH, Bruce Geiger came through with this amazing
and important photograph. The day of the fire, August 21, 1967, Bruce's father
loaded up his children, including Bruce and went to the intersection of Mineral
King and Santa Fe to watch the building in flames at Main and Santa Fe. Bruce's
dad took this picture. Embers and heat surrounded the Geiger family and they
left in a hurry and this picture shows the fire. Tony Cornett was a new Visalia
Fire Department cadet at the time and was on the scene and remembers the
intensity of the fire. The cleanup lasted for days. Thanks to several of you who
shared your memories of that historic fire. Thank you for the great photo,
Bruce.</span></div>

Library brought this to our attention.
It was in the "vault." It is the roster of the Grand Army of the
Republic (GAR) members who served in or near Visalia after the Civil War. To
qualify to be a member of the GAR you needed to have served in the Union Army
during the Great War. This roster contains the names of 120 or so members of
the GAR post in Visalia with biographical material on each. It includes the
units they served with and many other important facts about each of the veterans.
A notation on one member for example said <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that he received a gunshot wound in the Battle
of Chickamauga in Georgia. The roster is filled with considerable material on
these old soldiers. Thanks Bill for bringing it to our attention and thanks to
the library staff for their work in finding it. By the way, the History Room staff
and volunteers are always willing to help with research needs, so don't be shy.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">We can learn so much history
from photographs. This one is a good example. Dennis Whistler happened onto
this 1904 photo while looking through material in his office. Dennis wanted to
share it and fortunately for us the building is still standing on the southwest
corner of Church and Main streets in Visalia. It was called the Jacob Building
and it was built by Elias Jacob in 1894. The building looks different because
of changes to the exterior, but it is the same. So many things to talk about in
this photo, but I love the natural <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>image
of people milling around in front of it, not just on the sidewalk but in the
street as well. Everyone appears so natural – this is what living in Visalia
looked like in the early 1900s. Notice the little catering cart on the Church
Street side of the building (probably a peanut cart), also notice the
electrical street light, power poles, fire hydrant, business signs and the
bicycle. This photo was taken according to the photo caption in 1904 when
Visalia had a population of about 4,000 people. Very cool picture and thanks,
Dennis, for sharing.</span></div>

wanted to share. It is so timely! It is a
rainfall chart that was distributed by the Visalia Times- Delta about 1940. The
chart displaying 63 years worth of data shows totals by years and months
starting in 1877 and going through the winter of 1939/1940. Check it out. Pay
special note to the winter of 1905/1906 in the month of March when there was
almost 6 inches of rain and 19 inches for the year. By the way, 1906 is when
Visalia had a devastating flood.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Tom Rey, formerly of Visalia and
a retired San Diego police officer, recently brought an interesting fact to my
attention. Former Chief of Police for the San Diego PD Jefferson
"Keno" Wilson was born in Visalia in 1862 at the height of Civil War animosity
here. In 1870 he left Visalia with his parents and relocated to Texas.
Eventually they worked their way back to California and he settled in the San
Diego area. This lean 6'3" man worked for a time with customs on the
border with Mexico and eventually went to San Diego Police Department. He led
the department (1909-1917) through some of its toughest years and died in 1934.
Thanks to the San Diego Police Museum for the use of the photo and thanks Tom
for mentioning this interesting and little known fact to us. </span></div>

Visalia—Three carloads of U. S. soldiers passed through Visalia last night on
Santa Fe train No. 11 from Los Angeles on their way to San Francisco. These
soldiers consisted almost entirely of deserters from the army who have been
picked up at various points in the country. They will be compelled to serve
time in the government prison located on an island in San Francisco Bay. </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Visalia Daily Times, September 2, 1914</i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> <span style="color: #0033cc;"></span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #29303b;">Free Camping in the City</span></b></span></div>
<span style="color: #29303b;">During the 1920s and later, some
communities opened up their towns to campers. These sites were generally called
auto camps and oftentimes the camps piped in water and added other improvements.
These free camps offered travelers convenience and hospitality and were set up
many times to encourage people to come back and relocate in the town. It was in
a way <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a marketing strategy. Visalia had
one and it was called the Visalia Municipal Auto Camp and it was Bridge and
Willow where the Convention Center/City Hall East complex is today. It was a
popular camping spot for those passing through to visit Sequoia Park. In 1922,
for example, 2,806 people stayed there as they traveled through town. The auto
park closed as a free camping location in 1926. Notice in the photo, thru the
trees, you can see a portion of the front of the Visalia Municipal Auditorium. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Dallas Pattee shared this
photograph she recently found on one of her many historical forays. At first
glance, it looks like the famous Mooney Grove Park statue sculpted by James
Earle Fraser. But a closer look quickly tells you it's clearly not that. This
one is actually a carved redwood "knock off" of the original End of
the Trail. This one stood at the entrance to a place called Trees of Mystery
which is on the Redwood Highway (Highway 101) about 36 miles from the Oregon
border. This replica just points out how popular the End of the Trail statue
really is and was. I can only imagine how many versions of this famous statue
there are in the world. </span></div>

mentioned Floyd Depew, one of Visalia's veteran police officers, now deceased.
A number of you also mentioned his famous Harley Davidson motorcycle. Floyd
Depew began his law enforcement career in the 1930s and as he approached his twilight
years with Visalia PD, he took over parking enforcement duties downtown and used
this 3-wheel </span><br />
Harley Davidson. Floyd became a fixture downtown and many people
remember him. The 3-wheel motorcycle he used was given to him when he retired
in 1974. After he passed away, the family donated the motorcycle back to
Visalia PD. "Pappy," as he was affectionately called, was an
important, almost legendary, figure in the community for many years. There are
so many Depew stories but I’d love to hear more. <br />

<span style="color: #29303b;">Visalia's downtown skyline sure has
changed over the years. On the southeast corner of Santa Fe and Main streets,
now a medical office, stood a feed or grain mill. In fact, the location had
been a mill site since the beginning of the town. Obviously, the many mills that
stood there took <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on different forms over
the years and here you see two of them. The first shows Visalia Milling Co. in

right of the photograph is the Santa Fe Railroad Depot.
The other photo is from the 1950s and shows the site when it was owned by
Ralston Purina. Notice the rail cars being loaded. Ralston remained until it
burned and many people still remember the famous Purina fire. It changed the
skyline forever.<br />

Dr. Browning, Dr. Eckert, and Dr. Kleyn started Sierra Medical Group. The group
had their offices near the Sierra Community Hospital on Court Street between
Tulare and Walnut. Later Visalia Community Hospital was built, a complex now
owned by Kaweah Delta.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don't recall
when Kaweah Delta acquired the property on Court Street, but as I remember
there was some controversy surrounding it. The private Visalia Community
Hospital at one time was administered by Hyatt Medical Enterprises and it was
an alternative to Kaweah Delta. Does anyone remember when Kaweah Delta acquired
the property. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Well, we are lucky enough to
have another of Albert Stroben's photographs supplied by his son Tom. It shows an
earlier St. Mary's Catholic Church sometime between 1910 when it was built and
1954 when it was replaced with the current <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Catholic church. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to Bill Allen who wrote the history
of the Catholic church here in Visalia in his book called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It Started in a Stable, </i>this $12,000 church was adorned with
beautiful stained glass windows and was built using gray cement blocks. The
gothic style structure was designed by local architect Morve Weaver and built by
local builder J. M. Nelson. This photo is unique in that it shows a view from a
perspective not often seen with the convent in the background. Again thanks to
the wonderful photography of Albert Stroben and to Tom for sharing it.</span></div>

Estrada's Restaurant over the years and suggested I add something about it in
HH. Dana Lubich recently (within the last few months) did an internet search

other Estrada restaurants that do exist or did in other towns. Some are or were

family had their
culinary start in other Visalia locations, their restaurant was popular at two locations
within our town. The first well-known location opened at 414 W. Main Street<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in 1924 in the remodeled Vucovich home. In
about 1958 Estrada's moved to 1545 S. Mooney Blvd. By 1992 the famous Visalia
restaurant closed its doors. The Estrada story in Visalia is an interesting one
and goes far beyond restaurants. They have a connection to the Visalia Stock
Saddle. <br />

<span style="color: #29303b;">Dana Lubich brought this to my
attention recently and he thought HH readers might enjoy it. I agree with him. This
interesting article appeared in the May, 2014 issue of AARP magazine on page
42. The author of the article is Marian Adamson and she wrote about her and
boyfriend Larry's experience at the 1966 Prom at an unnamed Visalia high
school. I think it's worth a read. Thanks, Dana for sharing it. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Well, here is another picture that
was tucked away in the Albert Stroben photo collection. This unidentified and
undated picture shows who I believe to be<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Charles J. Hammer, owner of Hammer Machinery Co. The well-respected
native Visalian was a successful businessman and served on the city council and
served as mayor for a time in the 1930s. He was tireless in his civic involvement
and he had a special love for local rodeo. Thanks again Tom for sharing. By the
way the calendar on the wall advertises the Visalia Lumber Company, but the
date is unclear. For those who can positively identify Charles Hammer in this
photo, please let me know. I'd like to verify what I believe to be true. </span></div>

just could not let them be destroyed. He "saved" them and kept them
for years trying to figure out what to do with them. He and I talked and he
asked if I knew of a home for the books, so I contacted Sheryll Strachen, a
Tulare County Library staff member who works in the history room, and she
accepted the 15 or so scrapbooks for the history room collection. Sheryll loves
local history so I knew <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #29303b;">Ron Clevenger recently mentioned
that in the 1960s he worked for Southern California Edison at the pole yard on
Ben Maddox. He remembers while digging there with coworkers he found remnants
of what he thought was a brickyard complete with kiln. Visalia had several
brickyards in its history, and one in particular was in the area that he
described. It was owned by a man named Etzenhauser and it was situated just
east of Ben Madddox. Could Ron and his fellow workers have discovered what was
left of Etzenhauser's Brickyard? This is a picture of the century-old brickyard
in operation. </span></div>

farm "colony" near Farmersville. It was referenced with a November
1938 group photograph by the famous depression era photographer named Dorothea
Lange. At the time the 500-acres farm was cooperatively run by about 10
families. The group farmed cotton, alfalfa and made dairy products. The group
may have been called "Miner's Cooperative Farm." Has anyone ever

on June 24, 1983, nearly 31 years ago, the space shuttle Challenger landed at
Edwards Air Force Base. Dana remembers that the Challenger's approach to the
runway at Edwards was different on this mission in that as it approached the
runway from the north, flying down the center of the San Joaquin Valley, it
passed directly over Visalia and he remembers hearing <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the "boom boom" here as it flew high
above Bakersfield making its final approach to Edwards. </span></div>

last evening at the "Welcome Home" dance given in their honor at the
Municipal Auditorium. About 150 of the returned soldiers and sailors were in
attendance and these together with a large number of local and out of town
guests, spent the evening in the most enjoyable manner. It is estimated that
about three hundred couples were on the floor at one time, this being the
largest crowd of dancers with the exception of one other occasion, ever
accommodated in the large auditorium. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Visalia Morning Delta, May 21, 1919</i> <span style="color: #0033cc;"></span></b></div>
