Many years back Donald Jones came to visit us with his wife. The line DAD had looked for for eons.
Many weekends we would crawl into the truck and go slowly down the road reading the mail box names lookin
for JONES. WE met many but we never found his Uncle or his cousins. Lots of really nice people though.
See Dad's family split when they were very young. But he remembered visiting his cousins a couple of times.
they lived in Iowa then. They went to visit them.
Once when a cousin was very mean to his own sibling and thought it was very funny. Showing off to these new
family members. It did not set well with Dad or his younger brother. Which helped for them to look for our
side.
Years later as adults both sides looked for their family that they lost in divorce and in anger. (Adults)
Both boys remembered different stories and would tell us children with much sadness in thier voices.
Luckily the cousin that came to visit was not the down line of the so unruly child of one of my Great Uncles.
That was also sad because they did not know why they left Iowa and came to CA. Thankfully our Uncle Gerald was
able to share the story of the events that caused the rift.
One was our Grandad and his brother were racing horse and horse and buggy to the house. Going over the cattle
guard one fell off the buggy and it broke his back. The other boy helped him to get to the house but his back was
broken from the Cattle Guard on the bridge. The other incident before that was the visiting of the other brother
and one of his family children doing something so sad I won't say what it was. But it was very painful and bodily
harming. That child his wife told us carried the scars to his death. NO IDEA what ever possess children to do
this type of thing. Fortunately the son with broken back shared a store with that brother and when things got
worse they left Iowa and came to California. The brother our Grandfather went to WYOMING to live with cousins.
They remained friends as best they could though of massive distance back then. Wife of cousin seriously injured
said he forgave that other brother when they grew up. Since it was a family internal event it did not involve our
side. Not the horse racing brother he stayed friends. To this day I can not remember which was on horse and whih
was on buggy. LaMnte or Carl F. Great Uncle of ours and our Grandad. The other incident was when they were much
younger and had traveled back to Iowa to see family. The boy when he grew up spent years looking for Uncle Gerald
and Dad as I & Uncle Gerald was told by cousin's wife of, to say Thanks for what you did for me.
It was implied that the one boy had serious consultations and forgave that brother his bodily harm. They actually
lived together in later life. Sadly I did not get to meet him, I did meet the wife whom shared much with us here.
The 2 boys were in a Adult home for the aged at that point. The boy with broken back lived in California and died
a much younger death due to hardship and body discomfort from back being broken. He was decesed before DAD started
to look for him sadly.
Yesterday I located the photo Don and Flora took and sent us to share with family I will poat it here. IF I can figure
how.
Having commmunicated with the family of these people. Thankfully they overcame the worst and kept some communication.
My brother went to a reunion for the kin in CA not far from him. Cousin Don and his exteneded family from Great Uncle
Lamonte have had reunions I was hoping to attend but brother made one at least. Ray Dee Jones Jr is brother. He still
lives closer to them than I. I married a serviceman and we are settled in San Diego, CA.
Yes Don Jones was Lamonte's last born child and the thrill when family was found I can not tell you the feeling. God was
good.
I know that Lamonte Jones had children and their names. I was told some of the grand chidlren were Highway Patrol men
that actually covered area where we lived in Sonoma Marin Co. I have talked to several of the descendants and would
truly love to meet them in person before life ends.
The same applies to those left in Iowa. What a great friendly caring group of cousins they have been in writing and
talking. I want to go see The LITTLE BTOWN CHURCH in The Dale. That GGrandfather founded. So sad Cousin Charles
Jones died before I got to meet him. I do talk to his daughters. Yes we can claim that story as fact. O yes we have
a few of them in MINN and maybe Dakota's not yet found. Luckily one lived near in Fallbrook and we have shared
times together she is now in AZ.
IF any of this story sounds familiar and you are part of this family please get in touch with me. Dad would so loved
to have known you. Susi Jones Pentico.. Dad was Ray Dee Jones Sr his Dad was Carl Fremont Jones his Dad was Calvin
Fay Jones and Hannah Young Jones. Nashua Ia area. His father was Noyes Jones and Susan Madison Jones from NY to ILL to
IA.

Still today they are not given the recognition they deserve and yes some did not deserve much recognition.
Our Negroid race are fabulous people. But for reperations they need to seek it from Hollandd or Netherlands.
They are the ones who bought those as slaves and sent them all over to make money and to cut back on the
internal fighting that was upsetting their goals. In Africa, I do not think many have studied our past history
especially of the world.
WE do not owe the black??? enslaved people the Netherlands did it they owe us all something. Those who were shipped
here were truly saved from a slavery they did not even precive . We in turned saved them from what those left behind
has had to survive to live through. Many tribes did not survive these major upheavels in Africa. I read the paper today
and they still are squabbling instead of attempting to work together and change everyones lives there. Amazing how
beautiful this place must have been.
Granted after early people bought slaves some were very mean and ugly but many were not mean or ugly. They were
taken care of far better than those left behind. DO SOME HOMEWORK.
Another thing is very few of us if any, are not not of a form of a mixed race.
Formost I am an American but of many past descendants. Have you studied history?
Do you realize how many countries the first people's kin migrated through and how the family changed constantly.
Do you have any idea how many centuries we are have been hanging around?
Have you done your CRI Genetics and learned more about your past, not your names but heritage? The last two
thousand years has been semi well recorded. I have lived long enough to say massive major changes.
Hurray the Negroid race has been recognized. The Indians still on Reservations and told what they can or can not do.
Todays news said Negroid people were being recognized shame on them as journalists they did not do their homework
Remebering if they, Indians hadn't helped the early Europeans we may not have survived to today.
I can say I am proud to be part of many nations in my past including 3 tribes at least of Indians. I still have one
I am looking for in Indian heritage. I am who I am and you are who you allowed yourselves to be.
No one can make you be different. I know many well recived people that heritage came out of Africa.
Most all can succeed if they try hard and our fellow man steps up and realizes we are all human beings.
So far we have not found a a Martian or Venusian or other out of this world people here.
All can move forward if they have manners, and earn others respect and do unto others as you wish
done onto you.
Having read the records of how Teague JONES was treated by the Mayflower people and then the Judge
pardoned him for his deeds done which Judge said was appropriate due to the methods treated by them.
Many quickly went to Rhode Island and north to Novia Scotia. We have a very mixed past and no one
was perfect.
Enjoy reading the National Geographic Magazine, The Archeology Magazine, Many books in History Section of
Various Libraries throughout the USA. History abouds all about us. You have to keep your ears open and
your eyes to see what is really around you. Not just what you perceive.
I could not decide if I wanted Archeology or Teacher or Write as I graduated from HIgh School.
I never took my finger off the three of them. Data talked about above was located in various books
over eons of my lifetime.
My latest read was The American Heritage Book of Indians, Dell Publishing Co. Inc.,
Copyrighted 1961 by American Heritage Publishing Co., Inc. 9th printing 1974.
Reread: Without Indentures: Index to White Slave Children in Colonial Court Records. (Maryland and Virginia)
Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph. D.,
Copyright 2013. Genealogical Publishing Company
Much in the first book seems to not fit what we are being told today,. there are several pages regarding one of
our ancestors, Alas we need to write our own stories as we go because the ground seems to change as time moves
through.
WE have many Doctors, Lawyers, Congresmen, Judges, writers, Teachers, etc. that come from this early group of people.
Most that were sent to slavery away from Africa were leaders in their regions and were threats to the less successful
tribes or groups, Yes they were intelligent and smart, So stop selling them short or yourself.
But this happened in many other areas also.

Starting now, wow. Government is discussing loss of SS benefits. Do
not like news anymore. It seems hurt and pain is on a major rise.
So have you checked SS records for ancestors information? Have you
looked at State records, covering events, places and o those in needbeing saved.
Did you realize our ancestors had to build the road in front of their
property, so long ago. They also as community built later gave water ttheir bridges and homes
many and most times from scratch. They had to maintain them also.
Was upset the other day, our government did not want people to fix things
to save time and money or sounded like we were not to care. Just charge more, more
and more.
When young I was a Volunteer Firefighter. Our neighbors barn was on fire. He was at the other end of barn milking cows. Dad was running to the barn to save him and the cows.
I was banging on the house door for family to wake up. We passed water buckets and
Ultimately we saved most of the cows, the house and lost the barn and corral. When young we learned a shovel and dirt could slow down fire, sometimes better than water. Living in a country envirionment we learned we may be the next in need, whether it was a sudden broken bone, cut hand or leg etc. Sometimes it was just flu or twisted ankle or older age.
One learns if someone is in need you step up best you can. We as Americans should remember that from our experiences from WW 2 ON.s
Worse a later War brought much unhappy feelings. Thinking our country has not gotten over it even yet. We are blessed, our neighbors are caring. Our community has changed much over the years.
I apply much of what I have seen in my neighborhood to how I feel families worked
and shared and communicated in days of old. Remember no phone, no tv, some radio and later movies that at half time showed clips of our war. We need to think of our youth and how things were to help us resolve some of our Genealogical issues.
Hoping this insight may help your researching in smaller communities even larger ones.

back to sharing more news.
Then Facebook account was hacked. So today off to Best Buy to see what is
going to happen next. I have lots of tid bits and hints.
Going to share that if you have not tried Jeannette Austin 's pages.
Worth every penny. I have an ancestor that was in the WAR of 1812.
I may have had several. But she did a great tidbit on it's reason so

I trust you will go there and read what I wrote.
Hoping it will help us all realize we are one people on this earth.
We have no opened concrete data if people are other places in the UNIVERSE.
My parents taught me to respect all people. Thankfully because DNA shows
we have a very distant relationship attaached to many old world groups.
Understanding why Dad and his Jewish friend used to tease DAD he had to be part
Jewish the way he haggled. Yes he won sometimes also. Yup we are. I hope Dad
has met many of our past kin.
The DNA makes life far more interesting. We need to let go of some thoughts
on ability to welcome more of our truly enlarged families that we do have.
OOO I am sure it grates on many and makes others say OOO NOOO. But you can take
the royalty of Europe, where many lines crossed and shared and got out of hand at times.
You will learn much studying Ancient History.
If you are just starting research, it is enough to just sometimes find an immediately family member.
It gets more intense with the third and 4th generatios of reseach. Those being your Grandparents or
Great Grandparents.
Being blessed with a Grandfather whose family had much data known and perserved and saved, it was a
great help but still the Cedar River, went over it's banks in Iowa and much data was waterlogged and
taken to the dump. WORD of ADVISE if WET FREEZE IT. I have tried with small document to see if it
would work it did. NOW whether you have boxes full that is probably another matter. Cousin used hair
dryer on some. Called me as he was preparing to take the last batch to the dump.
Would love to have society have someone from Archives give us more knowledge on this process.
The entire USA has had intense weather and flooding and I am sure many of genealogists and learning to
be Genealogists would love to get this type of information for saving their data.
We on Mom's side were blessed they kept the family story, at least one of them pretty well intack.
Going to start writing the stories Grandad Cecil Leroy Hoffman, used to tell us everytime we went back
to Wyo to see family.
He would take my two other cousins & I , both male, 1 older one younger than I. Line us up on hay bailer and tell
us the same story over and over for years. Alas I am the last of the three left. But that one story proved
true when I was helping another person with their research. I am tracking two more stories one is really
interesting but not gaining any ground. This was on his wife, our Grandma Inez Mar SCott's side of the family.
Do you have old stories you can track and see if true? Do you have memorabilia that leaves you wonder what it
was for or why your family has it?
Many times you do not need to leave your home to start your research the questions are on the shelves in the
drawers or Picture Albums. Jewelry boxes or Glove boxes used for the few pieces of jewelery they have as Inez
did hers. I have the glove box Sis has the jewelery item. Same color as her birthmonth stone.
Sometimes pictures give clues to past heritage, some times old passed down letters or tapestry embroderied gives you clues
I hope this helps you to open your mind to your heritage and background and not be afraid of whom we have been and whom we
have become.
Thanks for listening.
This is my Easter Gift to you all.

It seems it really may come to pass with a more filled out tree for female Ancestral lines.
I was so excited to find this one email sent to me long ago filed in my completed folder.
It was able to give me more data on some of the female married names.
It also gives the surnames of more family members for us to locate.
So wish they would find Noyes (Nois) Jones and Susan Madison Jones and children picture
that I was told hung in the hall of his home. Some one took it home and no one seems to
to know whom it went to. DO I want it no, but a copy would give me more facial features to
look at to pick out kin.
Yes, they seemed to follow each other across the country. It makes sense really.
Someone once said were they not speaking, no I do not think that was the problem at all.
Knowing there were troubles here and there but not to the point of not talking to each other.
When I reached this side of the family on the phone they shared so many stories and gave me
others names and numbers to contact and learn more.
I have learned there is an error in happenings but it is not a big deal to me. Wanting to
find the son who went missing in New York between 1850-55. Noel Jones b 1835 Massachussetts.
I never found a death notice so wondered if he just didn't want to go west and stayed east.
But was told he was killed and family wanted to leave the area for fresher ground.
Later Noyes and Susan lost another son due to the CW. William Harrison died 31 Dec 1862
Stones River Battle. His brother was seriously injured and buried as dead. Was found and
nursed back to health and walked back to Illinois. Calvin Fay my ancestor, and Great
Grandfather. The home he built was almost like a southern mansion. I have a picture of it
taken by a helper. (It pays to have a helper when one can not get there to learn data).
I had not done that before.
Proven Data. Sadly I am stopped with Teague Jones Sr. and Rahamana, (Indian proven,).
I was given data from England on his parentage but now 15 years later they are back peddling.
Looking for DNA match down the road.
Teague fought Narraganset Indians with Richard Berry . Many records in the Daily Minutes for
the Town Coucil meetings. The same applies to Richard Berry also very early kin.
28 October 1645 fought the Indians with a group from Yarmouth. England originally said this:
His mother Josian Grey remarried after Christopher Jones Jr died of pneamonia. She married one
of the other two holders of the ship. It was a 3 way agreement. She requested trip to America
to see the land Christopher constantly talked of. Supposedly married and were taken to Boston area.
????? I beleive that is why we can not find data on Teague and due to his father being very ill
he never got recorded per their rules??? Need Ship Records and names of the original 2 plus
Christopher Jones. My goal was to find where from and no funds to go to England to learn more.
Never dreamt they may be connected. But first notice said yes last group said could not prove.
Josian Grey had three marriages is all they told me besides there was a baby.
More to follow soon. SusiCP1@gmail.com

YESTERDAY, I started and saved a major blog post to be read. Today It has gone away not to be found. Sorta odd.
The post you read I wrote for a year ago spring when everything stopped.
I will regenerate a post current to our topics and get it up soon.
Wheatland, Wyoming you are on the hot seat. Never really realized what was there
yet I knew it mentally just didn't think of it. I have toured the court house and
seen my parents Marriage application and approval. Uncle Dick took me to the court
house. William Richard Hoffman,
'
My family and a great deal of it lived and moved in and out of Wheatland, Wyo for many
years. I still have cousins there and Uncle Dick's wife. I am sure I have other cousins
there that when Dad died I did not follow up on.
I know the Drews' moved away. Uncle Gerald saw two of the boys in Denver area eons ago.
I suspect they are all gone. I spoke with Ducima Drew about 30 + years ago.
Looking for information on the HULSE, KINNAMON'S, SETTELS. BARTLETT IS FAMILY NAME ALSO.
BEATTY, FOLK, FOULK, FEIL, EASTMAN, HOFFMAN, JONES, KERNS, LAWRENCE, MUSSELMAN, SCOTT,
SCRANTON, PARRISH, and others.
Dad died in 1995 in Santa Rosa, CA. Ray Dee Jones Sr, Mom died several years later.
She was at home in Valley Ford, Ca and the property was sold. Dorothy Inez Hoffman Jones.
That part of my genealogy is missing on computer have to pull out her Obit. Back up
drive died while in Michigan some years back.
All of this started because cousin in Wheatland called me to ask about the Dr Huffman
that lived Wheatland in the 1920's and maybe later. The older generation talked but could
not find clues but thought they could be related. Hoffman and Huffman in many instances
is same line. Old Germany only had Hoffman. But when spoken to Englishman it had a UUUU
sound so after about 1880 UU shows in their records of people going back .

Born in Greybull, WYO. parents grew up in Wheatland area around much famiily.

AS MY MIND WANDERS, DOES YOURS ALSO?

<br />
My mind amazes me, why does it ask all these questions once one has gone to bed?<br />
As digging in the dirt and pulling weeds my thinking is of applying the gardening<br />
method to my genealogy. Some days it pays alas many days it grabs me in the middle of<br />
the night on the things one can do when awake to try a new way to resolve a missing<br />
ancestors Heritage.<br />
<br />
Census Data<br />
<br />
1. Relook at the Census records for 5 Generations.<br />
<br />
2. Did one miss a clue on one of those pages?<br />
<br />
3. Census does not change it has been there ever since posted.<br />
<br />
4. But boundaries do change in Census, that matters,<br />
<br />
5. Names of places one learns also changed way back then.<br />
<br />
6. Nicknames are used, second name verses first, is it the same person?<br />
<br />
7. Are they living with other people?<br />
<br />
8. Have they moved within the community?<br />
<br />
9. Watch for marriages nears parents?<br />
<br />
10. Watch for deaths in papers and later SS Death Index.<br />
<br />
You realize that is only ten topics. Betting you can find more.<br />
<br />
Many times we have to relook at our data and see what is amiss.<br />

Right after Dad died ( 1995) I picked up the phone and found some of the other down line kin in Minnesota.
Blessed be some how word reached family that had been looking for my Uncle for years and they showed up
on my Uncle Gerald's door. They also came to Moms' place though Dad was already gone. It was down line of
family he had spent most of his life looking for. It was nothing for him if there was extra cash to fill the
truck tank and we would drive various areas he heard they may be. We talked to many Jones's.
Don Jones we thank you, I have communicated with many of your kin thanks to you finding Dad's address and
Uncle Gerald's in San Diego. No it was Lemon Grove so they kept missing him. I try to reach out to them.

Sacramento, CA.

Well, trying to revive your interest in your research and family. So today I swapped things up.
Posting pictures of our youngest great grandchildren on my working blog for the people to see them.
Noticing there is more sharing in many blogs and since this is the family one, I thought it would maybe
generate some participation or fire up your desire to learn more about our family.
Our family is large no matter from which side you come from. Forever being amazed at the more
interesting people that are in our tree. We have many interesting cousins that keep it hidden.
We had many Aunts and Uncles that did the same thing. War was very hard on our family, as it is
on most families. Some spoke little to nothing on it and some shared some great experiences.
We obviously have siblings that could chatter away if they would also.
So much of our history is lost on a daily basis. So what part of our history is worth saving?
Does it depend on your prospective or a cousins or Aunt or Uncle and bless us for the Great Aunt that
some of us still have.
Recently, being reminded to think of the past as a preteen and teen, the mind does some interesting
twists.
Do you remember incidents with classmates and neighbors that affected your family? Surely you do, but
has much or any of these things been shared with other families. Is it in your family data base if you
are doing research?
Recently found a postcard of our home town of 50+ years from not long before we moved into the town.
Then was reminded of some of the citizens whom migrated in a few years after us. Shared school with and
some 4-H and some Church activities too. Our school was generally the meeting place. 2 Room school,
with lower grades one side, upper on the other. Our town the school was key. Other towns had Community
Rooms for activities.
Service men came home with many stories, some funny, some sad, some glad. These people were our growing
up Uncles, and later wars our cousins and some our spouses. O yes a couple of females were in the mix
also.
Ironic, my feelings are that it brought most families closer at that time. We mostly knew our families
a bit better than today.
Wishing that today we could know our kin as well as we did then. But we have buried many, we have married
had children and they have married and had children etc.
Dad, Ray Dee Jones Sr. said: "Family was the most important thing we have, to keep track of it and do
not Loose it."

SENTIMENTAL MOMMENTS, EXCUSE ME PLEASE.
Today seems to just keep piling on the thoughts and memories. It is long from over.
If you did not watch the MEMORIAL from WDC with our President and Military you missed a very
special event in our history.
Figuring Dick Eastman's post triggered this memories to come to fore, I thank you Dick Eastman,
and I thank my parents for us living where we did, enduring all we did, to survive in a none accepting
community.
Our daughter came to her Dad the other night and said., "Dad, thank you for raising me in this community
and my learning we are all the same." It startled me because feelings have run high in this home for a while
now. This child was born in Hawaii but only lived there a month or so. Her siblings walked to school,
not to wear shoes indoors and shared their lives with mixed cultures in our neighborhood. We all learned lots
and when we were home shopping here, I wanted them to retain what they had learned in Hawaii.
It was great with all the military as neighbors, we had 80 different cultures intermixed on this 1 block long
street. We also had Welfare recipients as neighbors, which we qualified for but would not use. We survived.
WE had block parties and group events and shared stories about our past heritage and learned so much about
each other. We had Navy, Air Force, Army, and Reserves on our block and they all have different stories to
tell. Around the corner we had a Dr and a Dentist too.
Three of us had children the same year and they went to school all their lives together. Two neighbors are
still with us.
Later as the military moved away to new duties our community changed.
Saying I was not happy when I had to give the children rides to Jr. Hi school to prevent beatings,torn
clothes and damaged bodies. Remembering my husband was over seas defending our country.
The first year they could walk with no dangers after school or before. Later our color was not liked.
Because they were not black or dark brown much hurt came about. In Hawaii that was not the case.
Ironic is our race does not show on our skin as much as others does. We are American's more than some and
less than others.
If you were born in the USA you are an AMERICAN of various descents, but American first always. The Lau law
really slapped us in the face and set us back 30 years in moving forward with race mingling.
It is great to be of Greek or Spanish descent never be ashamed of it but AMERICAN first.
Watching the First Lady stand and smile and watch with serious respect was awe inspiring.
She was foreign born.
I loved when once in a while a smile crept in on her face.
When papers ask I write American of:blah blah descent. We should all do that if it is important for
you to remind others of your past.
So today has become very sentimental for me and ashamed of some's behaviors and proud of so many others.
Much goes back to not being taught the true history of our past to our younger generations 30 years ago.
Thanks to those who wrote the history books the way they wanted them to read.
Yup I worked in the school system for 40+ years. Was able to get one book removed and others modified twice.
Our Forefathers fought hard to bring things right to our people. No one was to hold office for but a short
time. We have forgotten our Constitution and Bill of Rights and so much more they left for us to copy.
I hope your Fourth was more Happy and Less contemplative as mine. May God Bless American and may we
stand tall to defend her as our ancestors did.
Blessed Fourth of July to our Children and Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, Cousins, Aunts, Great Aunts,
and our friends and country's citizens.

Our country is in turmoil and are hearts are aching, so go out and post our flag.
Smile at your neighbor and wish them all a Blessed Fourth of July.
The changes are going to have to come from us. We are one human race set on this earth,let us
remember than.
Wishing you strength and courage and joy and elation for being an American.
It is hard, but our ancestors did it. We are here. We made it this far. Let us go on forward.
Say the pledge with your family to remind them of what it is and how to do it.
Ask for blessings on your food and gathering, small or otherwise.
Waving a Flag for our great country. Saying prayers for all. Thanking the Lord for
getting us this far and please carry us forward.
Blessings to all, prayers for peace for all and we are one race.

<br />
Our Uncle Comillo Morelli was a very special human. He was our Dad's sister Etta Maxine's husband. <br />
<br />
He was born 20 May 1908 in Petaluma, Sonoma County, CA. I had the privilege of knowing his parents and most of his Grandparents. One in particular Granda Ricioli.<br />
<br />
Comillo and Etta had 3 boys, Robert, Donald and Michael. I grew up with the older boys. Mike was born quite some time later. I had the joy of babysitting Mike.<br />
<br />
Comillo's parents were: Amedeo Morelli born 19 Jan 1880 in Cevio, Switzerland his wife was Irene Mattei b 6 Feb 1883 in California and both died in Sonoma Co., California. He 11 May 1951 and I was almost 11. Irene Mattei died 22 June 1968, also Petaluma, Sonoma Co. CA. <br />
<br />
Remembering them with fondness. His demeanor was so different from his wife's. Grandma Irene was very very formal and prim. He was what I called human. Even though I was small, I was for ever<br />
having Grandma Irene, telling me to set down and be quiet. She was raised, children were to be seen but not heard. I learned to go to our house when she showed up because otherwise we children would be setting in chairs not even able to speak to each other.<br />
<br />
Some of her family that lived near were not that way. But it comes back to me often. He was polite and friendly but we seldom seen him. He would go to the barn or cattle pens with his son.<br />
<br />
We moved from Wyoming to California so Dad could help milk the cows because the war kept taking his workers off to war. Dad was color blind so they wouldn't take him so, with Mom's health and Uncle Comillo in need of help we left Wyoming and came to Petaluma, CA to live.<br />
<br />
Uncle Comillo had a dairy ranch that became well known in the Dairy Industry. Ollimac Dairy.<br />
The boys helped with daily chores as did Aunt Etta and me as a tag along. Loved to feed the calves, and Don later had some really cute Banties as a project for either school or 4-H. He had several varieties of them. Some only 2 or 3 inches tall and some about 6 inches tall. They were many colored but unique when he was school age and up.<br />
<br />
Bob worked with the calves and feeding and watering. Gathered wood, and assisted in the Dairy Barn as he grew up. Don did the same over time. Both went to college and served in the service of their country as did their DAD prior to his marriage to my Aunt. That is how they met.<br />
<br />
Bob was 5 years older than I and Don was 2 years older than I.<br />
<br />
Two of Comillo's brothers served during the WAR. One used to buzz the property if he had a chance and would wave the wings to tell us hi. Maybe both did but I recall one definitely did. They were<br />
Alvin and Vernon Morelli.<br />
<br />
Aunt Etta met Uncle Comillo at the AFBase in Cheyenne, Wyo where she was living when he was stationed there. Her Mom lived in Cheyenne, as did two of her sisters with her. Muriel and Bethel Jones.<br />
<br />
Uncle Comillo loved to tease me, when he would eat his favorite cheese as a snack before going to milk in the afternoons. We used to share snack with them: Mom, Dad, Aunt and Uncle and boys if they were around. Because they milked about 2 pm or 2:30. It would not end until about 7 or so.<br />
You had to milk the cows, clean the barn and the milk room and prepare for the 2:30 am next shift.<br />
So generally it was cheese and crackers or cheese and crusty bread. Uncle had a mustache, and sometimes the cheese would get whiskers on top of his lip. Since he loved it he did not notice sometimes the extra. He always gave Aunt and I a hug and kiss before going out the door.<br />
<br />
He tried for years to have me taste it saying it was mild just smelled that way. I so remember the fun we had when I would back away instead of wanting kissed. Aunt Etta finally told him it was when the cheese was in mustache I backed away.<br />
<br />
The funny thing was, many eons later in the late 1990's I went to lunch with a friend and we had a French salad for lunch. Pear and Gargonzola. It was tasty to my shock. Funny how the nose made it smell different. I realized after ordering it was his cheese. I am glad I did, "Uncle it was as you said". I shared this story with her and she said her first was a waning experience also. But she had eaten it for years.<br />
<br />
We loved when birthday's rolled around for him and my Dad and my other Aunt. We many times shared them all together in the 1950's and later. Aunt Etta grew strawberries, We supplied the cream and the other Aunt provided either the biscuits or I made Dad's favorite Chocolate cake from the Hershey Can. WHY because Aunt Ruth Hoffman Feil ( Mom's baby sis) 18 May, Dad 19 May and Uncle Comillo was 20 May. It was double awesome if it fell on a weekend where everyone could get together and share a day.<br />
<br />
I so miss our getting together with family and with friends.<br />
<br />
My Uncle worked hard and diligently all his life, was hard for him to drop work and share time. He laughed hard and enjoyed company. I still see when his eyes would sparkle with happiness.<br />
<br />
We lost him with cancer while my own family was in Hawaii so I was not able to go to his services.<br />
Amazes me as to how often that family comes to mind. But they were our only family in California for more than 9 years.<br />
<br />
A fun thing Bob, Don and I used to do was go to Granda's (Uncle Comillo's Grandmother) in early fall and help her make the cough drops for the family for the winter. We picked the greens in the landino (Lawn area) and she boiled them in water and added sugar after taking the greens out. It had to come to a hard boil.<br />
She dropped them on waxed paper we put butter on, small spoons full. After set she would cut them and then we wrapped them. She then put in gallon jugs for each family of her's. We were always included in that family.<br />
<br />
This beloved woman died 15 Oct 1960 in Petaluma, Ca I would visit her when in High School after school weekly when I could. She was more than 100 when she died. Granda was Matilda Traversi born in Italy, when married had to leave most of the wedding items behind to expensive to ship but she brought her feather bed she made for their wedding with her.<br />
I have one pillow left she made for each grand when they tore the bed apart. Feather bed pillow.<br />
She remarried to Achillie Ricioli after Amedeo Morelli died. Amedeo gave us a ride in the back of the car where the trunk opened to set in to His place about three miles from his sons. I have never forgotten that event either. He complimented us on our doing such a good job. I suspect he was afraid we would jump about and fall out.<br />
<br />
Bob or Don do you remember? I have so many more stories I am going to share. Like when Don and I went to the dam to check the pollywogs and when telling me I was a sissy and a girl, which landed him in hospital. Not my intent and when Don dared me and he landed in the cactus.<br />
<br />
Love you guys always. Mike being born later missed a lot of fun. Your family needs to hear some of these stories so they know you did have a loving family and fun along with work.<br />
<br />
More to come.<br />

<br />
Today is the day our Dad was born. His life was harried and worn and fun and casual.<br />
He started life in Waterloo, Iowa area. Later rode train to Wyoming where his Dad had gone to work for a cousin, with his Mom. He said he sat on her lap most of the time on the ride. He was small but he remembers going over a wide river and long bridge on the train. ( I never got him back to that place) Felt bad for that.<br />
<br />
He tried hard to do the right thing. Seeing what he lived through he never wanted his family to experience those things. <br />
<br />
YES, HUNGER, COLD, NEGLECT, were all part of his early life. Part of it was the times.<br />
<br />
Some of it was the personalities. He loved school and was glad for all the schooling he received.<br />
<br />
He took us to see his school house he was so proud he was able to go there. He made it through 8th grade. Which in my day was same as High School. That is how far back our Education has slid.<br />
<br />
He had great support from family's when they lived near family and friends. <br />
<br />
He was matured with a great couple whom we met. Mr and Mrs. Morris Thomas of Wheatland, WYO or Slater area. His brother was taken in by another Rancher. The girls went to Cheyenne, WYO to live. Found Husbands when young and had fabulous mates and families. All the siblings were solid in their marriages. I had great Aunt's and some great Uncle's. I was able to learn much from each one of them. Even Grandma came around and was a different person from when I was small. I loved them all.<br />
<br />
Amazed that all the children had excellent families. <br />
<br />
Took Dad years to find his Father. We did find him and was so happy to share with us.<br />
It took Mom to get Dad to make up to his MOM. She wouldn't marry him until he and his Mom were on speaking terms.<br />
<br />
Ironic how two people could love each other so much and take it out in negative feedback then cry because they fought. Grandad never remarried. Grandma did and had a nice life while he was alive.<br />
<br />
Dad worked on the ranches in Wheatland, Wyo area then got a chance to go to work at the Diamond Tail Ranch in Greybull, Wyo. He gave up Rodeo after marrying MOM. He loved working the cattle and the land.<br />
<br />
He came to California to help his Brother in Law with his Dairy Ranch since milkers were being called to WAR. Ollimac Dairy, Very well known in CA.<br />
When War was over he changed jobs and worked another dairy and chicken Ranch combo.<br />
I watched a horrid fire there. Had to run to neighbors to tell them to call for Fire help. I was 5 or 6.<br />
It was end of WAR time and few had phones, our neighbors did and the men had gotten in the truck to go try and stop the fire approaching the ranches buildings. They had grabbed shovels and buckets.<br />
<br />
When we moved to our own land in 1948, Dad called it his Mini Ranch. We had cattle, cows for milk, animals for eating and chickens for eggs. We grew wheat, oats, and alfalfa. We always had a good size garden.<br />
We grew corn, beans, cabbages, squash, beets, turnips, carrots, onions, cucumbers, radishes and some times we had Strawberries. But it was the Blackberries I loved. Mom used Asparagus to mark garden rows.<br />
We had fruit trees because it was a test ground for a famous person. Delicious apple was created there on our ground some years before we bought it. Best Blackberries ever.<br />
I liked the apple from tree before the Delicious. It was more tart. I loved my horse. Old Crow.<br />
<br />
Ironic, I even had a pet crow named Pete we raised after he fell out of his nest 30 feet up in tree.<br />
I had a 4-H calf that when grew up I milked. Some day write a story about this lady. She loved Bologna and lettuce sandwiches.<br />
<br />
Learned I did not like Geese, they may be watch dogs but they are mean.<br />
Loved my Dog, Australian Shepherd. Tubby. When small he rolled everywhere so called Tubby but his legs finally grew. Dad help me pick him out from one of his friend ranch.<br />
<br />
Dad liked to have cats on the ranch to mouse and keep rodents down. <br />
<br />
Dad taught us to butcher and care for the meat and grow the produce and care for the keeping of the vegetables as of course Mom did too.<br />
<br />
Dad taught me to make Pancakes when I was about 6 years of age. Mom was very ill. He, later when we had our own home, taught me how to make biscuits and use a gas oven. Mom was very ill again. Taught me how to hand milk a cow, feed hogs and chickens and horses. I learned how to feed calves at my Aunts home long before we bought our place. I learned milk machines the year I graduated<br />
<br />
Dad was strong on his children getting a good education and be reliable.<br />
<br />
Dad would have a beer after hard work and share with friends but only on holidays it seemed any thing harder was around. Eggnog and rum or bourbon for holiday drink.<br />
<br />
Learned when I had first child Dad was allergic to milk. That would explain why he would get sick if he ate oatmeal for breakfast. He liked it. It did not like him. He tolerated whole milk before processing better than the modern processed stuff we have today. So did our boys. And their Dad doesn't drink it either. Double whammy.<br />
<br />
Dad wanted his children to graduate from college. I promised him I would 3 classes from finishing but doubt it will happen. <br />
<br />
I worked, married and we have 5 children, 10 grands and 3 great grands. O yes, I did 4-H when young and genealogist/historian since. Made many dresses and wedding gowns and skating ensembles.<br />
Worked in school system since first child started school until last grandchild graduated. Even taught Adult school for awhile. Taught classes and worked as aide at times. Also taught CCD.<br />
<br />
Sis had 3 boys raised two. changed spouses had some interesting businesses, sold drapes and did a car and house sales book for her area. One buried at Punch Bowl if I remember right as infant.<br />
<br />
Older brother graduated high school, had done 4-H and FFA and the USA in VietNam. Came home semi broken. Married had 3 children. 2 boys 1 girl. 2 are married. Did care for MOM for a period of time. Has his handicaps for health, since he was a new born. Today do not think they would allow in service. Our children have some of same problems and the military wouldn't take them. Just Don qualified.<br />
<br />
Younger brother graduated HS, had his own business, then sold it and started driving long haul trucking. He also did FFA, when in school. He has two boys from first marriage and 3 girls from second marriage., they came with the terrific wife. He has lived all over west coast also.<br />
<br />
Dad so love you and miss you, been a long while since 1995. Shame on you Loosing Mom in the store again. That joke came back to take you away. That is how she told me you were gone.<br />
"Sue, I lost your Dad shopping today." They played the game in the store, I thought she was sharing their game and then she re said it and I realized he was gone.<br />
<br />
Yup teasing the waitress friend ordering your favorite sandwich with your wife, son and grandson, you left us all.<br />
<br />
You are both together again and for that I am very glad. Thanks for all you taught me and helped me with always.<br />
<br />
