~ Nevada County Historical Society
Bulletin
Volume 36, No. 4 October 1982
DORIS FOLEY MEMORIAL ISSUE
EDITORIAL NOTE
This is the first time in the 36 year history
of the Bulletin of the Nevada County
Historical Society that an issue is dedicated
to the memory of a person. But it may safely
be stated that nobody deserved this more
than Doris Foley Larsen. Nobody ever was
as dedicated to the history of Nevada County
than she was. Nobody contributed more
articles to the Bulletin. Nobody was so eager
in scrutinizing the County records, the
newspaper files and all other sources to
discover long forgotten facts and use this
information to add to the knowledge of our
County’s history.
In the July issue, Madelyn Helling
remembered Doris Foley’s contributions to
County history; it is not necessary to repeat
this here.
In this issue, we present Doris’ memoir on
the Marsh family of Nevada City. She gave it
to me about one year ago and I was keeping it
for a rainy day. It does happen that an editor
wonders what to publish in the next Bulletin
and it was a comfortable thought to know
that there was something in the files to take
care of such an emergency. And so it
happens that we can present Doris’ last
article in the Bulletin issue, dedicated to her.
In addition, in the “From the Literature”
column, a short article by Doris Foley is
denoted and Doris’ latest book: The Pioneer
(Donner) Monument, The Origin of a Statue
reviewed.
A story of the Marsh family has appeared
in the Bulletin before. It was written by
Gladys Porter Sherman and published in the
January 1963 issue. Although this article is
still worth reading, the new one by Doris
Foley has much more information which
more than amply justifies its publication. It
is however too long for one issue, hence we
publish here only Part One; the remainder
will come in a future issue.
