THE WASHINGTON STORY PART 3 Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happinegss. Teresa McCulla, later to become the mother of Telford and Elmer Oates, was reading the Declaration of Independence, asshe had on every 4th ofJuly in Washington. She wore a white starched embroidered dress. Her pigtails were tied with bright red bows and her high button shoes had been bought at Helgeson's Dept. Store by her mother, Mary. Teresa's young voice rang out loud and clear. .When in the course of human events Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.those words doas well as any to describe Washington when it was a thriving mining town on the South Yuba.a happy town for its 110 years of history, and where liberty andthe rights of others were paramount. Teresa McCulla spoke the words for Washington. The mining journals record that the Washington and Jefferson Co. , believing that the Yuba flowing through the townsite wasrich in gold nuggets, diverted the Yuba into flumes. Derricks were used to lift the big boulders from the river bottom. Hundreds of Chinese, knee high in water, stacked the smaller boulders at the rivers edge. The project was a failure and Washington was abandoned. But only for a short time. Sturdy miners pushing ever forward up the streams re-established the town and while many a Nevada County mining camp rose and fell Washington continues to this day. No gold is being mined in the once great workings of Nevada City and Grass Valley but intiny Washington the golden harvest continues by rubber suited skin divers and their water vacum-like suction equipment. Back to our 4th of July. The Washington Brass Band, under the direction of Philip Goyne, is being applauged wildly. Young Dick Goyne is the drummer boy. Phil Bradley, down from the Spanish mine, has just been brought up to the platform tobe awarded first prize for winning the foot race. ‘Tom Carrol] is flexing his muscles, and the next event will be his hammer throwing. For as everyone who ever lived in Washington or who ever visited there knows, itwasafuntown and still is. In the winter sledriding, snow shoeing, and tobogganing were the sports. Dances were special affairs. Washington's ( and Nevada County's ) first family are the McCullas they trace the California family tree to 1849. The joining of the Brimskills and the McCullas brought to Nevada County fine pioneer blood as the children grandchildren and great granchildren hold high the family prestige. Donna McCulla Bennett and her brother Ed McCulla ( now living on Walrath Ave, NC ) spent the happiest years of their lives in thé place they call home Washington. Their mother was born there in 1857. This Paradise-on-the-Yuba is remembered for its mines: Artic, Spanish,Eaglebird, Gray Eagle, Baltic, Maybert, Gaston, Champion, Blue Bell, Blue Jay, Mt. View, Old German and the Ormond’. It is remembered for its Doctors:' Foutz, Hyde, Tickell, Freeman, Proshold, and Dumileau. It is remembered for the Chinese who Came in search of gold, worked hard yet remained a people apart with their own ‘gambling, Joss. House and cemetery. There was the favorite Ah Yu, choked one night by a burly Slavonian, who thereby ldst his voice, and never spoke again. A town isremembered by its school teachers: Iva Stenger Williamson, A gnes O'Connell, Fanny Schwartz, Mary Grimes, William La vy, Arthur Ball, Arthur O'Connor, Sadie O'Donnell, Mary Jones Wallis, BonnieJones, Madge Harding.
