SLOW DOWN GRANDPA JULIAN! The Caldwell Tribune, Saturday, July 17, 1909

 The very first....

On the same date in the Caldwell Tribune:  

Perhaps Grandma Francis (Beardsley Wood) Steunenberg was waiting for Julian to arrive with the next load of their belongings at the home on Dearborn Street.

Eveline "Belle" Steunenberg


The "large amount of the widow's original property was given to charity" would be interpreted by me as meaning the Adventist Church.

"Idaho coal fields" should be silver, zinc and lead mining. Gold initially but had pretty well played out.


Each year the Idaho legislature would introduce a new bill to continue the annuity for another year. Monitoring and distribution of funds was handled by LA County. I assume this continued until great grandma Belle's passing on January 7, 1951. I had not quite arrived yet.

The Caldwell Tribune, Saturday, October 20th, 1906


I wonder if that was Frank Steunenberg's engraved 1895 Savage rifle? We know his brother Will had it after Frank's assassination and later mentioned the rifle in a hand written last Will and Testament.  

"see that the guns get good keepers. And if any of Frank’s Boys ever show any tendency to guns & will take care of same; give them the gun that belonged to Frank the 30-303 savage."

I don't know where any of the guns belonging to my great grandfather or his brothers ended up. Unfortunately none of them are in my gun safe.

William L. Crookham 1933-2020



A few memories with Bill and talks about family history! This was back in 2005.
Bill left and John right at the family plot Canyon Hill Cemetery in Caldwell, ID
 
Serious discussion no doubt

No problem!

In the prior photo, Bill & I were "lifting" the piece of granite that would be made into this memorial. It stands  outside the Caldwell train station. Bill was the driving force behind this project.

Idaho Penitentiary Token Set


Happened to have these old tokens out of the plexiglass holder today so tried to get some clearer scans.  From my personal JTR Collection.
