Happy Reunion Of Old-Timers (Continued from Page One) to shake her by the hand. She remembers clearly the adventures of the original Pioneers, and is the one remaining link of the present time and the years that have sped on into the past. What a privilege it is to shake the hand of this grand old lady in the sunset of her declining years, who saw and experienced all those things in the early history of the colony. She was presented with a large birthday cake and a bouquet of magnificent roses. Mrs. Honor Easton, regent of the Daughters of the Revolution, was introduced by the toastmaster, and extended a welcome on behalf of the chapter to the men and women present. She said that we had been hearing much of conservation—conservation of water and conservation of the forests—which were all important, but the Daughters of the American Revolution, who had called this picnic were actuated by a purpose to conserve the historical interest attaching to the old-timers who had settled here so long ago. To preserve the landmarks and perpetuate the deeds of these Pioneers, it seemed to her, was fully as important as the conservation of material things. Her very happy address of welcome was responded to by a round of handclapping and applause. Mrs. Emma Grimshaw, daughter of Daniel Kraemer, one of the Pioneer settlers of the Placentia region, was called upon for a historical paper upon the subject of the Anaheim cemetery. The paper proved to be one of great interest, and after Mrs. Grimshaw had given credit to Mrs. Dwyer and others for assistance in compiling it, the same was read by her daughter, Miss Alice Grimshaw. Mrs. Grimshaw exhibited the original deed for the cemetery, bearing stamps of the Civil war. This is probably the oldest public document of this kind in the state of California. Miss Grimshaw read the paper, which will be found published in another column of this issue. Mrs. Anna Fischer De Frees, the first descendant of one of the original Pio-of-neers. He is the son of Mrs. Frohling, who was the first bride wedded in the colony. He spoke of the liberality of the early Pioneers, who did not measure the amount of water allotted each irrigator, but gave each one a ditch full for the number of hours purchased. He said that on the site of the picnic grounds the first orange grove had been planted by Mr. Langenberger. Mr. Korn had grown the first Valencia orange trees in this locality. While it was known these oranges were splendid specimens of the citrus family, it was not learned until some years later that they were Valencias. He paid a passing glance to the vineyard blight, the planting of walnut and other trees and the final cultivation of the Valencia orange. He was given fine applause at his conclusion. Mrs. Mitchell said that the first orange tree that she had ever seen was at the site of the picnic grounds, and when she inhaled the aroma of the orange blossoms, she thought she was in Paradise. She referred to the sight of local irrigators to protect their rights to water in the river, and was very glad to know that the rights of local irrigators had been protected. Toastmaster Lewis referred at some length to the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution to place the oldest remaining house in town in the city park. The structure still stands on North Los Angeles street, and it is the purpose of the Daughters, if permission can be obtained from the city authorities, to move it to the park and fill it with mementoes commemorating the early days of the colony. He spoke feelingly of these sacred mementoes and said there could be no more fitting place for them than this old structure at the City park. The Daughters will make an effort to obtain permission to move this house thither, and he urged all those present to assist them in this praiseworthy endeavor. Many of these valuable relics have been sought, by different collectors, and large sums of money have been offered for them, but their owners have declined to part with them, feeling that their proper place would be in the City park, where they could be seen by coming generations.

Mrs. De Frees is the daughter of John Fischer, one of the original settlers. She arose, made her bow to the assemblage, said she was glad to be present, added that she was no public speaker, and at her conclusion received a round of applause. She was given a basket of sweet peas and other flowers in honor of being the first white girl born in Anaheim. Mrs. Emma Polhemus, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna, Pioneer setters of the country to the south of Anaheim, was introduced as one of the early brides of Anaheim. She was given a basket of lovely flowers. She responded in a few words, saying she was very glad to be present, and was given a round of applause. Mrs. Polhemus has three children, many grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She is still a handsome woman, and is known as one of the loveliest brides of the early days of Anaheim.

MOSSEMAN "To Friends Present at the Old-Timers' Reunion Given by the Mother Colony Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution: "I wish to express my deep appreciation of the welcome and the kind greetings given me by my many old friends, and to thank the ladies who made possible this beautiful meeting of old friends. I hope to see you again at my home in Los Angeles." "MRS. FRANCESCA-MOSSEMAN." Historic Sketch Of Old Cemetery (Continued from Page One) he was to receive half of the price of the grave. His deed is dated July 27, 1893. This now gave the cemetery association 20 acres of land. Later, three acres of land were deeded to the Anaheim Mausoleum Corporation, leaving 17 acres in the present cemetery: Captain Barr's wife is buried here, but Captain Barr left Anaheim because of his failing health, and when he passed on, his niece, Miss Bardill, had him laid away in Los Angeles. In 1915, Miss Bardill gave the cemetery association a quit claim deed to the land for the sum of $10. During the time of Captain Barr's residence here, he gave a great deal of attention to the cemetery, and it was Mr. Hartman also erected a very fine mausoleum in memory of his father and mother, his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Reiser, and another uncle, Mr. Thiele, all Ploneers of the Mother Colony. When he passed on, his body was placed there beside that of his wife. Now several cemeteries, in perpetual care, were started in our county. These were very attractive and, as a result, the old cemeteries became more and more neglected—Anaheim cemetery among them. This was a matter of great regret to many. So some of our citizens tried to raise a fund to take care of the cemetery. Among those most active and who worked hardest were Mrs. J. J. Dwyer, Mrs. Seale, Mr. Gus Langenberger, Mr.-Carroll and Mr. Hetebrink. Many others assisted them, and to them great credit is due. Despite the efforts of these people, the attempt was not successful. However, the "greatest darkness is just before the dawn." And the dawn for a beautiful cemetery for Anaheim has already appeared. In 1925, Mr. S.C. Hartranft was elected to our state assembly, where he introduced a bill which was carried, whereby a cemetery might be placed in perpetual care by the creation of an assessment district. Surely, this was one of the best bills that could be introduced! Why not pay the small tax necessary? We pay taxes for all other purposes. Why should we neglect the resting places of these Ploneers, who endured so much and were the means of giving us this beautiful county? Let us not forget them, and let us do all we can to beautify this cemetery—their last resting place! After the passage of this bill, a committee had to petition our board of supervisors to grant us a cemetery assessment district. The district which the supervisors granted includes the Anaheim school district, the Loarra school district, the Katella school district, and a part of the Orangenthorpe and a part of the Magnolia school districts—a splendid district. Now, with the forming of this district, the last existing organization of the Ploneers of 1857 went out of existence, and the land became the property of the county. has been sunk, a new pump house built, pipes laid, soil levelled for the planting of grass, and some flower beds laid out. In the course of a few years we will have a beautiful cemetery, that will be a credit to Anaheim and to those who labored so faithfully to beautify the resting place of all the dear ones laid to rest in this cemetery. Cypress Notes (By W.C. MILLER) The new business block being erected on the corner of Walker street and Lincoln avenue is nearing completion. The building is of brick, and will add much to the appearance of the town. It will house five business concerns, which will add much to the convenience of the section. The Community Club met at the club parlors yesterday afternoon. Mrs. George B. Miller, hostess for the day, was assisted by Mrs. M. M. Monroe and Bessie Norland. In keeping with Flag Day, the room was decorated with flags and patriotic colors. The program was also fitting to the day President Coolidge's flag address was rendered by Mrs. Norland. A reading, "The Flag of the Free," by Mrs. George Miller, and a toast "Our Flag," by Mrs. O.P.Bunyard, were other numbers on the program. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs.A.E.John, at the second Tuesday of next month, at which time a real winnelike bake will be enjoyed. After the business and program had been disposed of,a very delightful lunch was served consisting of creamed chicken on toast,pickles,cake,and ice tea.There were present two visitors,Mrs.Minnie Gutryt and Mrs.Witlacre,Sr.,both of Los Angeles.The members present were:Mesdames Bunyard,Carpenter,Hammond.Shirley,LamblinPriddy,Martin,BlytheWhite,Fuquay,Roy Miller.Smith.Huttenlocher,C.M.Brown.Wilcox,Moss,Scaly,Hollingsworth,TreffernMonree,Barnett,jOhnaWhitacre Jr.,Ritter,Fred Miller,Chesley Cawthon.J.C.Cawthon.La Rue,Norland.Kester,Pitts.G.B.Miller, ortsoe With tors its h The Park at th THE GREATEST BARGAINS ON H A Sale that will Rock the City Alexander Axelrod of Los Angeles, 615 Title Guarantee Bldg., H The Army & Navy Store, 154 W. 65c GENUINE President Suspenders 17c Pair To be Sold in 8 Days for what Come Friday and Saturday and All Next Week—Store O 7x7. 10-oz.
