Dedication Ceremonies Set for New Memorial Chapel and Facilities Dedication of the new Backs, Troutman & Kaulbars mortuary chapel and facilities is set for next Sunday, Nov. 6, at 3:30 p.m. Rev. Donald H. Gard, Ph.D., minister of the First Presbyterian Church of Anaheim, will conduct the service and a large public turnout is expected. The establishment will be open for public pre-showing on Friday and Saturday from 3:30 to 9 p.m. Construction of the new building was begun early last June after studies of Orange County's population growth proved the need for larger and more modern facilities. The exterior appearance is both traditional and modern; the Palos Verdes rough-cut stone blending with the warm colors of the walls and massive roofs. Because of the outstanding architecture, the La Palma Chapel is certain to become one of the community's landmarks. The non-sectarian chapel has sufficient seating capacity to accommodate even the largest funeral attendance. A circular driveway and spacious parking over the managerial reins to Bill Troutman. In its new and larger quarters, the old-established firm will be staffed by competent, friendly memorial counselors Joseph Isaacson, James Croff, Joseph Kender, John Boyd and partner-manager Bill Troutman. Julia Prinsen will be receptionist-secretary. Bill Troutman is a graduate of San Bernardino Junior College and the California College of Mortuary Science. He has personally served hundreds of Orange County families and is familiar with the specific rituals, customs and traditions of the many faiths which the organization serves. In speaking of the forthcoming dedication, Troutman said, "This is the fulfillment of a dream; the day when we could combine our splendid service potential with one of the finest-equipped buildings in the West. I am sure the founders would be pleased to know that we are carrying on their tradition of always providing the finest possible service, properly priced, in an atmosphere of reverence and respect."

A circular driveway and spacious parking area afford convenient access to all parts of the building. The interior of the establishment is tastefully decorated and furnished to create a warm, friendly, home-like atmosphere. Extensive use is made of early American pieces custom made by local craftsmen. The firm of Backs, Troutman & Kaulbars, located for many years on N. Lemon St., opposite the Anaheim city park, was founded in 1871 by Ferdinand Backs, a decade before the city was incorporated. The population at that time was just over 800, but as the community expanded the firm expanded with it. About two decades ago J. Ben Kaulbars, well-known Orange County resident, became owner of the firm and eventually turned "This is the fulfillment of a dream; the day when we could combine our splendid service potential with one of the finest-equipped buildings in the West.

HENRY KUCHIL 63 YEARS AGO—1897 A performance of Verdi's "Il Grovatore" by well known San Francisco amateurs will be given in that city this evening. Mrs. Mowry, formerly Miss Bessie Hardin, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. N. Hardin of this city, will appear as Leonora, the leading part. Mrs. Mowry's bereed by many of her old time friends in Anaheim, and as the reports are to the effect that her voice has improved and she is regarded as one of the best amateur vocalists in the metropolis, the performance will undoubtedly be a way-up show. Bert Boyd received a letter from his father on Tuesday, written from Daggett the previous day, conveying the intelligence that the four hardy miners, Boyd, East, Wilcox and Clabaugh, had reached that place on their return trip and will arrive on Saturday. They have had a rough but pleasant trip and are doubtless weighted down with rich specimens of ore. Miss Zelma Bailey entertained the Young Ladies Euchre Club at her home on last Saturday afternoon. The time was spent in playing euchre at which Mrs. Fred Rimpau won the first prize, a china rose jar, and Miss Edith Fay, the second, a silver thimble. After partaking of refreshments of ice cream and cake the guests dispersed, having spent a very pleasant afternoon. Harry Dyer is one of the fortunate young barley raisers of the La Habra valley, having sown some 300 acres to that remunerative crop. Harry converted some of it into hay and threshed the rest. He has sold his grain at an advanced figure—and will again go in for barley the coming year. The thanks of the editorial force are due Mrs. Polhemus for a donation of fruit, consisting of peaches, apples and figs a sample of fine walnuts and a giant watermelon, all raised without irrigation at Mira-flores. Ed Atherton of the ostrich farm was in town yesterday afternoon for a short business trip, accompanied by Mrs. Atherton. Mrs. Theodore Rimpau, Miss Marie Rimpau and Miss Gandolfo of Yuma, who is visiting with them, drove down to Newport on Monday for a day's outing. The Fullerton Walnut Growers Association of which Sydmer Ross is president and Chet Holcomb secretary, has issued a circular letter to growers advising them as to the proper mode of handling the crop.
