Looking back on market past
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[402]
[ECHOS-1998-402]
Q: Did they age meat in the early 1900s? A: Oh no. Never knew about aging. Never had the good facilities to age meat. They would sell meat by the pound in those days [...]

May air of 1883 filled with picnics, rain
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[333]
[ECHOS-1997-333]
The year was 1883 and a new Good Templars Lodge was established in Allendale with 23 members. But the big news that spring with the Good Templars was their May Day Temperance Picnic to be held at Oiler's Grove. J.M. Oiler would provide water, feed and a stable for up to 500 horses at 25 cents per animal [...]

Days Of May 114 Years Ago
/
Wichels, Ernest
[799]
[WICHELS-1964-799]
Many things have occurred in Vallejo's 114 years of existence. Every day must be an anniversary of some event in our community life. One way to dip into the pages of the past is to recall earlier happenings in the merry month of May.

Wichels, Ernest
[781]
[WICHELS-1964-781]
Like Santa Claus, the editor of an historical column has many helpers. Hardly a day passes that I do not receive some information which helps to bridge the gap between the past and the present.

Plenty of attorneys to fill 'old courthouse'
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[347]
[ECHOS-1997-347]
Times were good in the spring of 1864. It was noted at this time both the hospital and county jail were empty. Perhaps that was due in part to the number of attorneys in the area. Attorney M.H [...]

Teachers and pupils had some challenges
/
Bowen, Jerry
[560]
[WAYITWAS-2005-560]
When our family moved from North Dakota to California in 1950, I was in the eighth grade. It was quite a shock going from a school system with good discipline and challenging education to the loose uncontrolled discord of the school system I attended in the South Bay Area.

Solano's 49ers
/
Wichels, Ernest
[840]
[WICHELS-1965-840]
It isn't easy to find a real "native son" these days. In fact, "native sons" are California's minority group in this day of expanding population - with 20,000 new residents crossing our state boundaries every month. Yet, it is surprising how many of our Vallejo and Solano County residents are direct descendants of the hardy pioneers who came to California - by overland trial or via the Isthmus of Panama, in 1849 or earlier.

Light shone on town history via lamppost
/
Bowen, Jerry
[157]
[WAYITWAS-2003-157]
Whenever I walk around our historic downtown, I often try to imagine what it must have been like in the early days when the boundary of Vacaville ended at Parker Street. In fact, one day I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I walked smack-dab right into one of the old lampposts and bent my glasses up.

Disaster strikes the Sophie McLane at Suisun
/
Bowen, Jerry
[21]
[WAYITWAS-2000-21]
Californians always have done things in a big way, but doing things in a big way does not always mean using good sense along with it.

Old Time News Writing
/
Wichels, Ernest
[775]
[WICHELS-1963-775]
Like women's fashions, automobile bodies and hair-dos, the style of reporting news also changes with the years. In our research the past few weeks, poring over the century-old editions of our Vallejo newspapers, we have gleaned some amusing stories. The most interesting aspect is that the city editor, in the olden days, always editorialized in his reporting. Today no city desk would dare to do so.
