6744.	Tanneries played important roles in early California / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [861] [WAYITWAS-2008-861] Leather products played an important role in 19th-century lifestyles. Horses needed harnesses and saddles, furniture was upholstered in leather, people wore riding gear, boots, shoes, gloves - everything required a steady supply of high-quality tanned leather.

6745.	Vallejo's Annie Lizzie Gill was a pioneer activist / Bowen, Jerry [839] [WAYITWAS-2008-839] As I start this series of columns, I have absolutely no idea on how many installments it will take to finish the story of a remarkable lady that lived in Vallejo, Annie Lizzie Gill who was born in 1863 on a farm outside the town of Oblong, Ill. Her story is a wonderful cavalcade of events and personal anecdotes before arriving in Vallejo in 1918, but since this is a local history column, I'll stick mostly to her life here in Solano County.

6746.	California's pioneer women first recognized in 1900 / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [835] [WAYITWAS-2008-835] This is the final installation in my series based on the recollections of pioneer women who arrived in California in the late 1840s. The San Francisco Chronicle gathered their histories and published them on Sept. 9, 1900, in commemoration of California's 50th anniversary. Detailed record - Similar records
6747.	Pena descendant was active in local affairs / Bowen, Jerry [834] [WAYITWAS-2008-834] In 1868 Juan Felipe Pena's granddaughter, Maria Delores Pena, married John Patton. John's father, Albert Lyon, first arrived in the Vacaville area in 1847 and settled north of the Pena Adobe. Lyon Road is named after the Lyon family. His son, John Patton, married Maria Delores Pena on June 2, 1868, and they had a son, John Edward Lyon, who married Josephine Hanna Murray [...] Detailed record - Similar records
6748.	Benicia was known as the 'Athens of California' / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [831] [WAYITWAS-2008-831] This column continues the story of Frances Anne Cooper Semple and Susan Cooper Wolfskill and life in 1850s Solano County.

6749.	Lonely historic site awaits much-needed help / Bowen, Jerry [830] [WAYITWAS-2008-830] It lies on a windswept knoll above the confluence of the San Joaquin River and the Sacramento River. Slowly but surely, giant windmills move stealthily ever closer to the deteriorating wood shell covered adobe. Mold on one of the interior walls appears as a small sinister-looking waterfall from a leak in the roof. Detailed record - Similar records
6750.	California changed when gold was discovered / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [829] [WAYITWAS-2008-829] After their marriage in the fall of 1847, Robert and Frances Anne Semple settled down to develop Benicia into a thriving new center of commerce. Detailed record - Similar records
6751.	It was a taxing situation during the Depression / Bowen, Jerry [827] [WAYITWAS-2008-827] In my last column we began to take a brief look at some of the history of the Depression of the 1930s. A look at our elected officials performance gives us reason to wonder if they have learned anything from the past. Detailed record - Similar records
6752.	Semple was beaten to the punch in naming rights / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [826] [WAYITWAS-2008-826] In 1900, the San Francisco Chronicle commemorated California's 50th anniversary by interviewing prominent pioneer women. Among them was Frances Anne Cooper. She came to the Bay area in 1846 from Howard County, Mo. Her interview appeared on Sept [...] Detailed record - Similar records
6753.	Great Depression caused hard times in Solano / Bowen, Jerry [825] [WAYITWAS-2008-825] Today I saw an interesting front page from a United Kingdom newspaper, The Independent, showing a photo that may or may not be a modern soup line waiting for handouts. The headline blatantly shouts, "United States of America 2008; The Great Depression." Detailed record - Similar records
