Sorry, I made a mistake in the birth of Rebecca Rakestraw.
Her correct date of birth is 26 March 1794 in lieu of 26 March 1974.

Thanks for the posting on the Finleys.
Louisa Finley married Charles Kephart Bennett in Siskiyou County on May 2,
1883.
They had 10 or 11 children. Lived most of the time in the Etna, CA area.
In 1903-1904 time period they moved to Chico. Does anyone have any additional
information on this family that they would share?

The case of the People of the State of California vs Wm. F. Woodward and Wm.
Vestal came up before Judge Durfee Friday, and after hearing all the
evidence, the defendants were discharged.
While Mrs. L. W. Simpson was wringing out some clothes about two weeks ago,
her fifteen-month-old baby got the middle finger of the left hand caught in
the wringer and crushed the bone. Mrs. Simpson brought the child to town
last Saturday and Dr. Thrailkill amputated the finger at the first joint.

If the new lode discovered about sixty miles from Redding, near the junction
of Kosk Creek with Pitt river, is really the "Lost Cabin" mine, it is a rich
find. The gold belt is said to average 800 feet in width and the croppings
have been traced for 7500 feet. It is a long time since any portion of
California has experienced an old-fashioned gold boom, and a little
excitement of that kind, if based on a discovery that is genuinely valuable,
would prove stimulating and beneficial. -
eBay has listed a copy of the 1965 book, Etna - from Mule Train to 'Copter, published by the Native Daughters of the Golden West. This is Item #3590084990. This is a wonderful book and a "must have" for anyone researching the area.
