Human Kindness Comes to Fore With so much crime and trouble in the world, it is refreshing to occasionally run across an occurrence that brings happiness to someone. The following story, reported to The Gazette this week, is one of those rare occasions: Last week Wednesday a young colored man, A. B. Davis, called at the Motor Transit and Greyhound bus depot and asked C. G. W. Queale, the agent, if he could work his way on the bus back to Tampa, Fla. He said a traveling salesman had offered him steady work with good pay as chauffeur if he would come to California. After getting here, some disagreement arose as to salary, so Davis quit and went to work in a cafe on West Center St. He soon grew homesick, but had no money for transportation back South. He also said his draft number might be called soon and he ought to be there when it was. Davis gave Queale the name "Willie" Addams Called by Death 104-Year-Old Veteran Of Civil and Indian Wars Dies Sunday “Uncle Willie” Addames, Fullerton’s most picturesque actors, died Sunday night at range county hospital on the his 104th birthday anniversary.

He went on an unsuccessful mission to save Gen. Custer Battle of the Little Big Horse. Uncle Willie lived in a shack at a sand and gravel Fullerton. A small pension led to provide food for the man.
