Annie Lizzie Gill: A pioneer in every sense / Bowen, Jerry [866] [WAYITWAS-2008-866]
In my last column, we left off with Annie Lizzie Gill's husband, Newton, dying on Jan. 22, 1924, by a fall. Then her youngest son, Homer, left home to see the world by working on ships, leaving just her and No. 1 son, Howard, to carry on with the future.

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.

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. If I was a politician I guess I could say I "misspoke" but truth is always better.

Solano pioneer: rich woman, poor woman / Dingler, Nancy [488] [RETROSPECT-2004-488]
The gold rush of 1849 created a massive migration. People from all walks of life and from around the world made their way to the rich gold fields of California. After months of walking across the country from Missouri, Luzena, along with her husband, Mason, and two small children were in sight of the promised land.
