70th Anniversary VOLUME LXXI ANAHEIM Days Of Long Ago In Mother Anaheim had a brass band during years around the turn of the century of which it was justly proud. The above photograph shows the band as it was when the picture was taken in 1892. School children of 49 years ago appear to be a serious group of youngsters. This group picture was taken in 1891 and shows a number of children who received their early schooling in Anaheim. The above picture, taken in 1886, shows the old A. T. Wallop grocery store, which was located on the northeast corner of Center and Los Angeles street. Reading left to right, the picture shows A. T. Wallop, William T. Wallop, Adelia (Wallop) Balfour, John W. Wallop and Rudolph Wallop. The photograph above shows the William Boyd & Son grocery store in the first of the two Metz blocks which stood on the southeast corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. The horse and buggy were owned by a man named Hunter. Leaning against the post is Bird V. Beebe. The man in the light suit is Bert Boyd, and at his left is standing his father, William Boyd. ANIVERSARY ANAHEIM ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1940 Mother Colony Recalled Through Seri Center street in 1885 wasn't the busy thoroughfare that it is today.

AND HISTORICAL EDITION Orange County's Oldest Newspaper 1870 1940 GAZETTE 12, 1940 SECTION TWO NUMBER SEVEN Through Series Of Old Photographs North Los Angeles street looked quite different when the Anaheim Gazette was started than it does now. The above photograph was taken at the intersection of Center street. The horse-drawn street car was a familiar scene in early-day Anaheim. It traversed along Center street from the Southern Pacific railroad station in West Anaheim to the eastern edge of the city. The first house to be built in the colony founded by the Pioneers of Anaheim is shown above. It was erected in 1857 by George Hansen, Los Angeles Vineyard society engineer, was given to the D. A. R. by E. E. Beazley, and now stands on a lot on North West street donated by Marie Horstman Dwyer, daughter of Pioneers. The first store building in Anaheim is pictured above. It was built and owned by A. Langenberger. The building stood in the present 100 block on West Center street, at the site where the J. C. Penney company store is now located.
