Making a life in Vallejo wasn't easy for the Gills
/
Bowen, Jerry
[862]
[WAYITWAS-2008-862]
When I started this story two weeks ago I made a whopper of a mistake when I said, "Annie wasn't very generous with dates in her book," but it appears she and her husband Howard left Florida by train in the winter of 1918.

Bowen, Jerry
[565]
[WAYITWAS-2005-565]
The year 1936 saw the United States in the midst of the Depression. A short humorous article in The Reporter reflected the times: "Somebody Falling Down? There are said to be 10,000,000 unemployed in the United States. It's hard to believe that there are that many people unrelated to some public official."

Settlers relied on their own skills
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[48]
[WAYITWAS-2000-48]
Health care has always been a concern to the families settling in a new area. Early pioneers had to rely on their skills and knowledge, treating common ailments with herbs and other substances then thought to be beneficial. Almost every housewife had her own stash of medicinal supplies with which to doctor her family. Some women gained quite a lot of experience and people would seek them out for advice and help.
