The departure of Mrs. Marguerite DeBow
from her home here in Rough and Ready, as
reported in our local news last week, was
grossly exaggerated. Living alone, so far from
family and ‘friends, had convinced Marguerite
that making her permanent home here was not
practical and she was preparing to put this home
on the market. It will be some time however
before she will be moving to the new one she has
selected in Rheem Valley. When I read that bit
in the paper I thought “well old thing you’ve
done it again” mixed things up I mean! So, it
was with special relief that I heard Marguerite
calling her pets the next morning. She lives on
the hill just back of us and, tho’ we don’t visit
often, we keep in touch. She can see me when I
step outside in my bathrobe for wood and, due to
the idiosyncrasies of this funny valley we live in,
I can hear her when she calls her pets. Rheem
Valley is in Contra Costa County somewhere
between Orinda and Lafayette. If you’re not
familiar with that part of the country just call it
the Bay Area. You won’t be too far wrong.
Marguerite’s son lives in Orinda, her daughter
in Oakland, and she has a brother and many
friends at Lake Merritt so it will be like going
home for her. She has been a kind and thoughful
neighbor to all of us.
It was difficult being alone and equally
difficult arranging to have some of her family
always with her. This time she has selected a
condominium type home. Guests had been invited for the Monday following the week the
story broke about her leaving. Marguerite found
it hard to believe that guests would believe she
could be so thoughtless but she has had half
dozen calls asking if they were still invited. One
hazard of news reporting.
We seem to be losing all our nice neighbors
lately. The new ones we gain in their place will
be nice, too. Mrs. Mary Parry, who .lost her
husband recently, found just the right place for
her to take care of and moved last week. If you _
want to let her know how much we miss her you
can write her at 1404 Bancroft-Yuba City 95991.
Her new home is close to markets services, no
hills to climb, and on a direct route, thru
Woodland, to her daughter and grandchildren.
She thinks it will be just right. Our new neighbors, there, are from the Lake Tahoe area. They
are retired and Abbott is interested in the late
Phillip Parry’s big shop. It should prove an
advantageous move for both families.
Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Valeriani are the new
neighbors at The Country Store and service
station. Now there is a name to fit right in with
the Irish and Italian background of our area!
The Valerianis are from Los Alamitos near Long
Beach in Southern California and are here to get
away from the crosed city. They moved in last
week almost in that snow storm. For a time they
were a little doubtful about our weather. They
have three children. Patrice is 15 and is attending NUHS. Gary is 19 and for a time will
helphis dad in the service station. Donna McCloud is 22 and has taken the downstairs
apartment to be near mother until the arrival of
the new baby in May. Mrs. Janet Valeriani will
take over Mary Ann’s place in the Country
Store.

Miss Visantha Gage has been visiting
Grandmother Baer (no pun intended) this past
week. She has a brand new baby brother at
home in Fairfield. Mother and baby are doing
nicely but apparently Visantha took a bit too
much of the new mother’s time so grandmother’s home provided the waiting period.
Tom and Jerry have been added to our barn
roster. They are twin babies born to Bathsheba
last Monday just too late for the column. Our
lambs are usually born in a snow storm but
these were a couple of days off schedule. They
made the rain storm instead. These are the last
of our lambs for this year. Didn’t lose a one this
season. We have 7 babies with 4 mothers. The
very first one, little Chiquita, is young and only
had one baby. Josephine and Cutie Pie both
presented us with twins. My neighbor, Mrs.
Esther Bixler, says the hill pasture is black with
little lambs scampering around. I have a feeling
Esther, who raises calves, would like them
better. We are hoping to please her very soon.
Cissy was expected to give us one last Friday.
Speaking of birthdays! Mrs. Sue Fay had
one on Saturday March 24. Sue is an R.N. at
Nevada General. In her spare time she takes
care of daughter, Pam and a good sized house
* and garden.
Circle your calendars for April 6 and 7.from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. The Grange ladies are having
their spring rummage sale at the hall. Everyone
dig into your closets for the big exchange.
Chairperson Conne Baer tells me specials this
time will be a “bunch of chairs, upholstered,
rather unique” and a “bunch of those new
painted T shirts that proved to popular with the
kids before.” Our Grange ladies always come up
with a nice sale. On April 7 the rummage sale
workers are planning a sit down luncheon
together. They also planto raise the flag of the
Great Republic of Rough and Ready over our
fair community for the annual celebration of our
secession from the Union way back on April 7,
1850. Mrs. Alice Licht is preparing a bit of a .
celebration for the occasion.
Also circle April 5. The Nevada County
Historical Society will hold its regular program
at 8 p.m. in‘ the Veterans Hall in Nevada City.
Coffee at 7:30 p.m. Speaker this time will be
Vince Gianelli of Auburn. He will Show pictures
of Hydraulic Mining. Mr. Gianelli was born Feb.
2, 1886 near Marysville. He started his mining
career at Juneau Alaska as a~mucker. He
studied electrical, engineering and mining at
Oregon State University, did further studies at
the University of Arizona, attained his master in
geology and engineering at ‘the University of
Nevada, did graduate work at Yale and
Columbia and obtained his PhD at Columbia.
Besides having worked in many mines and in
every job up the scale from mucker, he taught
engineering at the University of Nevada for 29
years. Mrs. Louise Dudley of French Corral will
be the hostess for the evening ably assisted by
Gwen Anderson, Florence Kelly, and Edna
Henry. It’s going to be an interesting evening.
Everyone, is welcome.
