Mrs Charles Dixon looked after the daughter of Kate Mae Villet (nee Shaw) and her husband George Edgar Villet when Kate dies in 1911 - Bishop Ca newspaper reference newspaper unknown...Jan 4th death date.

Their daughter Jennie Mae Villet was left in care of Dixons and maybe adopted her and she could be using Jennie Mae Dixon ......seeking records on what happend to Jennie - did she remain in Bishop and marry - did she move to Sacremento - told she appears in 1920 census records?

Also wanting to find graves of Charles Dixon and his wife or wives who were MacKinnons and sisters.

Have found Katie Villets grave - her hubby George Villet remarried a Florinda Dias (she had been previously married as well to a Mr. Corey) and believed they met in Bishop and moved to Sacremento?

Any connections, advise, census info, pictures of Bishop area in those times, etc that would give me some leads would be most helpful.

Thank you

INYO COUNTY QUERY

ShirleyFarone79 — 2 Jul 2001 12:23:09 GMT

Looking for EDWARD HOSNER (HASNER) (b. 1867) and his wife, MAY HOSNER(HASNER)(b. 1867) who lived in Lone Pine in 1920. Their sons, Stanley and Leo, may have lived there with them -- Stanley, himself, may have moved to Bishop
where he died in the 1980's. Edward was a miner, prospector, gambler, and there was talk that he may have been in dire straights in the 1935 when he came back east to Jefferson County, N. Y. for a visit. Supposedly, he
was broke; his wife, May, living in Lone Pine refused to support him and he may have died as a ward of the State of California.

This Edward is my grandfather's brother and he had several children, none of whom I know anything about. Would like to know if the HOSNERS (HASNERS) died in Lone Pine and are buried there. Also, if there is a cemetery in Lone Pine and how would I seek information as to the burials in that
cemetery.

Would also enjoy receiving E-Mail from anyone living in Lone Pine. Any orientation at all will be helpful.
Thank you.

Cunningham family in the Bishop CA

kids4ever — 16 Jan 2005 3:10:41 GMT

Looking for Cunningham family in the Bishop CA area. I don't know the father's name, but the mother was Martha Martin Cunningham (08/07/1874 - 07/08/1963). After her Cunningham husband, she was also married to a Wunderly and a Keller.

I don't have the name of Martha's Cunningham husband or any information on where he was originally from. There were Cunningham's in Tulare County. He may connect with them.

Her oldest child was Francis (Frank) Cunningham, (10/29/1890 - 09/07/1963). This Frank married Lillie Hines in the Sacramento area in the 1930s. (I wonder if he had a marriage before this one.)

Another son was George Cunningham, (05/15/1892 - 06/02/1973), who was mayor of Carmel CA sometime around 1940.

Another son was Charles Cunningham, (11/14/1893 - 03/08/1959), who served in WW1.

Is anyone connected to this family? Does anyone have more information on them?

Anyone need a newspaper lookup?

surnames: Young, Boyd, Guthrie

idescott — 4 May 2002 6:51:22 GMT

I am looking for my ancestors. They homesteaded in the Bishop area beginning in the time frame 1875-1880. My great great grandfather name was Young. The ranch is at/near Brockmans corner near the Coon's Gallery. It is still in private hands because my great grandmother Kate Boyd would not sell out to the LADWP. I am looking for her father and mothers first name. Their last name was Young.

Kate Young married a Boyd (first name unknown - I need it)
and had three daughters. Elsie, Ides, and Clara. Ides, my Grandmother, graduated from BUHS in 1919. She married Harvy Guthrie, a Bishop attorney, in 1921 (I don't have an exact date). In 1924 my father was born in Bishop. In 1929,
my grandfather, Harvey Guthrie became District Attorney of Inyo county so the family relocated to Independence and rented a house of LADWP. In 1934, the family relocated to Los Angeles.

My father still kept in close contact with his cousins and grandmother and aunts and uncles in Bishop. He spent many summers in Bishop after the family moved to Los Angeles. He has many stories to tell about the fight with L.A. over the water and others. He knows many of the families in the Bishop area.

I have the El Pinon (Bishop Union High School Yearbook) from 1918 and 1919. I also have my grandmothers recipe book which was from the St Pauls Guild published in 1919.It has many Bishop business' listed in it. I would be happy to do look-ups.

If anyone could look up the Youngs in the 1880 census or Boyds in the 1910 census that would be great.

Thanks!

Inyo County courthouse disasters

Michelle Worthington — 23 Jan 2003 7:19:08 GMT

According to the following website <http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/courts/trial/historic/>; (use the drop down menu to get to Inyo County) three county courthouses have been lost to fire and earthquake.

I would like to know which disasters happened and in what years they occured. Also I am trying to figure out is if there has been any other courthouse disaster(s) (fire, tornado, earthquake, bombing, etc), if so what year(s) and most importantly, if there has been loss/destruction of the historical records.

It is my understanding that the county clerk has BMD records only back to 1905 (county formation 1866). Were the older records destroyed in the above disasters, or have they been moved to an archive or historical society? If so, where? Also, what year do the records begin?
Thank you for taking the time to read my query, and thank you for any help you can provide.
