/
Dingler, Nancy
[485]
[RETROSPECT-2003-485]
Flags were lowered to half-staff on all public buildings and many private businesses in Solano County, to note the sad and sudden death of Josiah Wing on June 14, 1915. He was so well-liked that the painful news of his death brought a countywide outpouring of sympathy for the family. Businesses closed the day of the funeral.

/
Bowen, Jerry
[503]
[WAYITWAS-2004-503]
During the settlement of the west, immigration from other countries made up the majority of the population.

/
Rico, John
[897]
[RICO-1981-897]
LET'S GET AMERICA ROLLING - HOW ABOUT VACAVILLE, TOO? - Many of the larger business corporations across the country are calling attention via newspaper and television announcements, that it's about time "We get America rolling again."

Memorial Days In Vallejo
/
Wichels, Ernest
[802]
[WICHELS-1964-802]
Decoration Day was made a fixed celebration on May 5, 1868, when Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan, of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a general order designating May 30, 1868, "for the purpose of strewing with flowers the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country." Some 15 years later the G.A.R. asked that the name of this annual observance be changed to "Memorial Day," but here in 1964-about 80 years later-we still find many old timers calling it "Decoration Day."

/
Wichels, Ernest
[787]
[WICHELS-1964-787]
Every day Is an anniversary of some person, some discovery or other event. These have varying degrees of importance. February reminds us of anniversaries because we celebrate the birthdates of Washington and Lincoln. But we are tempted this week to recall other February anniversaries which should interest many Vallejoans and Mare Island folk.

William Gordon Huff: the sculptor of Chief Solano
/
Dingler, Nancy
[490]
[RETROSPECT-2004-490]
Do you know who sculpted the statue of Chief Solano? This is one of those trivia questions that few can answer. If you came up with the name William Gordon Huff, you are correct. His name would most likely draw blank stares. William Gordon Huff was a celebrated sculptor who had a keen interest in California history. The 12-foot bronze statue is the one and only statue in California that memorializes one specific Native American.
