Protestant Orphan Asylum

Early in 1858 the necessity for caring for orphan children was discussed, and an associa- tion for that purpose was formed, but it did not prove of long continuance and the matter was dropped for some years. In 1867. how- ever, the governor and a number of citizens were interested, through the efforts of Mrs. Elvira Baldwin, in the care of a family of seven children orphaned by the death of their mother. a poor woman. This resulted in the awakening of a new interest in the subject. and the organization of a society for the care

and maintenance of destitute orphans in the county, and ultimately in the state, was ef- fected. Mrs. I. E. Dwinell was the first presi- dent of the organization, which rented and furnished a building at Seventh and D Streets, where fourteen or fifteen children were imme- diately placed in the care of Mrs. Cole, the first matron. The association erected a build- ing the next year on the block between K and L, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Streets, where the old high-school building now stands. The building was considerably damaged by fire on December 7, 1878, but was soon repaired and another and better building was added to it, making it commodious and well-arranged. The year previous, a neat school building had been erected, and the school was made part of the city public-school system and placed under the care of the city board of education. No children except the inmates of the institution were allowed to attend the school.

Many noble women have devoted much time and money to the welfare and upbuilding of the institution. Among them was Mrs. Sarah E. Clayton, who was president of the society in 1877-1878, and traveled nearly 5,000 miles in fifteen years, caring for orphans who were afterwards furnished with homes through the efforts of the society. In 1905 the property was sold to the city of Sacramento for high- school purposes, and the institution was re- moved to a site on the lower Stockton road, just beyond the William Curtis Park.

The Marguerite Home

The first of the monuments to the memory of Mrs. Margaret Crocker was the home for aged women known as the Marguerite Home, the second being the gift of the Crocker Art Gallery to the city. The home was situated at Seventh and I Streets, and was originally the residence and grounds of Capt. William Whitney, comprising a half-block on I Street. A fine building was added to the residence, making twenty-eight large bedrooms, with parlor, reception room, office, kitchen, laun- dry and dining-room. Everything was done for the comfort and convenience of the in- mates. The rooms were well lighted and ven- tilated, and the house was heated by hot-air pipes. The grounds were well shaded by fine trees and were kept in good order by the trus- tees of the institution.

The Marguerite Home was dedicated Feb- ruary 25, 1884, the sixtieth anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Crocker, the occasion being cel- ebrated by a reception given to the older citi- zens of Sacramento at the home. After the congratulations were over, Mrs. Margaret Crocker made the presentation of the home to the trustees in the following words, which

explain the purpose and status of the gift : "Frank Miller, Albert Gallatin, John H. Car- roll, Gustavus L. Simmons and Charles McCreary :

"Gentlemen :

"Herewith 1 deliver into your possession a deed in trust for certain money, real and personal property, by means of which I pro- pose to establish a home for aged and indigent women in Sacramento, to be known as the 'Marguerite Home.' I have the honor, gen- tlemen, to solicit your acceptance of this trust ; the deed expresses my intentions with- out placing restrictions on your mode of man- agement.

"Knowing your intelligence and ability, and having full faith in your character and in your disposition to aid in all benevolent purposes, and believing you to be in full accord with my views in respect to the especial objects in my regard in this gift, I have left, as you will see upon a careful examination of the deed, to your discretion and superior knowledge and to your kind and earnest efforts, which I most heartily invoke, the success of this trust."

Mayor John Q. Brown, Dr. G. L. Simmons and Hon. Joseph Steffens made appropriate responses to the tender of the generous gift. The deed, in addition to the property pur- chased for the home, dedicated also $50,000 as an endowment fund, besides $12,000 as a fur- ther aid to the maintenance of the home. While the money was apportioned to the sup- port of the inmates, the trustees, anxious to extend the benefits of the institution to a wider range, concluded to take for life such worthy and respectable women as might de- sire to enter the home and as were able to pay the expenses incident to their maintenance.

The Home in recent years has been aban- doned, and the property has been disposed of.

Other Hospitals

From time to time other hospitals have been provided for the care of the sick, which, while not, strictly speaking, charitable institutions, are for the alleviation and cure of the ills of suffering humanity, and may therefore be spoken of under this head. All "water cures" and "health institutes" are hospitals, and after the rush of the gold-seekers to this state was fairly on, it is surprising how quickly all the Eastern institutions of that class were estab- lished on the Coast, although not on an exten- sive scale. There is no record as to when the first water-cure hospital was established in this city, but it was probably in the early fif- ties. We find Dr. T. P. Zander in 1857 adver- tising one at the southwest corner of Fifth and K Streets, and later a Dr. Burns estab-

219

HISTORY OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY

lished one which afterwards became the Pa- cific Water Cure and Eclectic Health Institute. This fell later under the management of Dr. M. F. Clayton, a graduate of the Eclectic Med- ical Institute of Cincinnati, Ohio, who carried it on until his death, when Mrs. Clayton took charge of it for a number of years, being suc- ceeded in its active management by her daugh- ter, Mrs. A. J. Gardner. In 1910 the institu- tion was closed, and the fine structure known as the Hotel Clayton was erected on its site.

Mater Misericordiae Hospital

The care of the sick is one of the chief ob- jects of the order of Sisters of Mercy, and as Sacramento for so many years could not lay claim to any institution for the care of the sick except those of the city and county and the railroad hospital, the Sisters, in 1895, with very little money, but with great faith in God's providence, purchased the half block between Q and R, Twenty-second and Twenty-third Streets, of the late Dr. G. L. Simmons for $12,000 on a mortgage note. The two small buildings known as the "Ridge Home." on Twenty-second Street, were a small beginning. and poorly equipped; but their faith was re- warded by the appreciation of the public, and in 1896 the large building now known as the Hospital Mater Misericordiae was erected. It was later enlarged, and porches were run all around it, making it one of the best-equipped and best-patronized hospitals on the Coast, with four elegant operating rooms of the latest pattern.

The Sisters now are planning an extensive hospital on J Street in the vicinity of Forty- seventh, which will cost over $500,000. Plans are being drawn for the new hospital, which will have the very latest facilities, including operating rooms, X-ray laboratory, radium laboratory, and other departments.

The Igo-Flitcroft Hospital

The Wentworth-Igo Hospital was opened on September 1, 1900, and represented a cost of $13,000. It was originally located at 2515 I Street, and later at 1525 L Street. Dr. Went- worth died in 1901, and Miss Louise lgo con- tinued the management of the hospital up to 1902, when she severed her connection with the institution to take up further medical studies. She graduated from the medical col- lege of the University of California, and in March, 1910, reopened the Louise Igo Hospi- tal at 1525 L Street. She married Arthur Flit- croft, who is now the manager of the institu- tion. Dr. Igo and her husband went to Eu- rope, where they made a study of the best hospital facilities, with a view to the erection of a new hospital building, on their return,

at a cost of $250.000 or more. to be the best- equipped of any similar institution in this part of the state. Since their return the Igo-Flit- croft Hospital has been opened at 3014 M Street.

The Home of the Merciful Savior

The Home of the Merciful Savior, conduct- ed for many years on J Street as a non-sec- tarian place for the treatment of crippled and invalid children, through the fostering of the Episcopal Church, was discontinued several years ago, the addition of a children's wing having been made to the County Hospital, which serves all its purposes.

Other Benevolent Institutions

The Howard Benevolent Association of Sacramento was organized in a time of great tribulation and distress in this city. The rush of gold-seekers in 1849 had brought with it much of disease and poverty, and the Masons and Odd Fellows had risen nobly to the occa- sion and dispensed charity with open hands and willing hearts, counting not the cost when they could alleviate distress. In later times. when the floods and fires brought poverty and suffering, another organization arose. This one was formed solely for the relief of the sick and destitute, and well and faithfully did it play its part. No one will ever know how much it did for the needy. for those who dis- bursed its funds never boasted of their deeds. and most, if not all, of the original members have passed away. The name of the Howards. however, should always be held in reverence by every citizen of Sacramento.

The first steps looking to the organization of the society were taken as early as Decem- ber 21, 1857, N. A. H. Ball being the leader in the good work. The officers elected for the first year were: George W. Mowe, president : L. A. Booth, James P. Robinson, John Mc- Neill, R. A. Pearis, James E. Perkins and N. A. H. Ball, directors; James M. Kennedy. secretary ; and John S. Bien, treasurer. The income of the society was derived from mnem- bership fees, voluntary contributions, dona- tions by the legislature. and various other sources. None of the officers except the stew- ard received any salary. During the floods of 1861-1862 the association had its headquarters at the Old Pavilion on M Street. as stated in a previous chapter, and assisted hundreds of homeless people. For many years it distributed to the needy about $4.000 a year, and num- bered about thirty active members, who elected the directors.

The Catholic Ladies' Relief Society, No. 1, has been in existence for many years and has

220

faithfully looked after the needs of the desti- tute and sick of their denomination.

Cemeteries

The New Helvetia Cemetery, which lies south of and adjoining McKinley Park, just east of Thirty-first Street, is the oldest bury- ing-ground in Sacramento, and is embraced in the original plat of Sutter's Fort. Ten acres here were donated to the city for burial pur- poses by Gen. John A. Sutter, about the first of December, 1849. The first person buried in the cemetery was Major Cloud, a paymaster of the United States army, who was killed in 1847 some distance southeast of the fort, by being thrown from a horse; the second was Miss Susanna Hitchcock, who died early in 1849 at the new diggings on the Stanislaus ; the third was James McDowell, who was shot in Washington, just across the river from this city. Many interments were made here in 1849 and 1850, during the times when sickness and cholera were so prevalent.

The board of city park directors in 1916 took over the old cemetery property and trans- formed it into an open park. Lately a sprink- ling system has been installed, and the lawn is now kept fresh and green throughout the year. It is a broad, well-kept lawn, with drives. The graves of the dead buried there have not been disturbed, although no inter- ments have been made in the grounds in sev- eral years.

The City Cemetery was located south of Y Street in 1850, on the southern boundary of the city, on Tenth Street. It originally com- prised about twenty acres, but the area has been largely increased by additions. It is beau-

tifully adorned with trees, flowering shrubs and plants, and many fine monuments are to be seen there. The Freemasons, Odd Fellows, Red Men, Firemen, Pioneers, Printers, Veter- ans of the Mexican War, and other organiza- tions have plats within the enclosure, as has also the state, where a number of state officials were buried. This cemetery is owned by the city, and is controlled by a superintendent elected by the board of trustees.

The Hebrew Cemetery is under the control of the Congregation B'nai Israel, but is owned by the Hebrew Benevolent Society. A chapel has been erected on the grounds, which are en- closed by a wall.

St. Joseph's Cemetery belongs to the Cath- olic diocese of Sacramento, and was conse- crated by Archbishop Alemany in 1865. It is located at Twenty-first and Y Streets, and is well kept by the superintendent.

East Lawn Cemetery is the most modern of all the city's cemeteries, having been opened by a private corporation in 1904. It is located on a knoll which is part of the farm formerly owned by Governor Booth, on the M Street road, or Schley Avenue, as it is called, a short distance east of the former city limits, but now far within them since the annexation of the eastern suburbs. It occupies a beautiful site and will, in time, be one of the finest in the state. It was furnished with a furnace for cremation some years ago.

In recent years, the Odd Fellows' Lawn Cemetery, a very beautiful resting-place for the dead, has been established on Tenth Street south of the City Cemetery. Still more recently, the Masonic Lawn Cemetery has been established just south of the Odd Fel- lows' burial grounds.

CHAPTER XXXI

COUNTY RED CROSS CHAPTER

T HE WAR brought about the formation of a very active Red Cross chapter in Sac- ramento County. The first steps for the organization of the chapter were taken on April 9, 1917, at a meeting held in the office of John S. Chambers, then state controller. The Home Service Section of the Civilian Relief Department, with Simon J. Lubin as chairman, and the Canteen Service, of which Albert Elkus was chairman, did excellent work. From the time the chapter was established until the present, a total of 10,333 men with their fami- lies have been given service of various kinds, and $24,730.12 has been expended in financial relief. The Production Committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. W. E. Briggs, turned out large quantities of knit garments for the boys overseas. The Canteen Service, both during the war and after the armistice was signed, performed good work at the railroad stations, where soldiers passing through were provided with sandwiches, fruits, nuts, postal cards, and other articles and gifts. Albert Elkus was director of the Canteen Service: Mrs. J. D. Brennan, wife of the superintendent of the Southern Pacific, commandant; Miss Edith White, assistant. A total of 87,609 men were served by the Canteen from June 10, 1918, to December 2, 1919. There were 132 women and girls in the canteen, with teams of eight- een and twenty working every day. When the Canteen Service was discontinued on the last-named date, the records showed a contri- bution of $20,000 to the relief fund. This in- cludes profits made in the Red Cross shop.

The Motor Corps of the Red Cross did valu- able service during the influenza epidemics of 1918. Its ambulances were in almost constant service. In conjunction with the work done in the city of Sacramento, must be mentioned the cooperation of the branch chapters in the principal towns and communities of the coun- ty, under the direction of Herman Davis.

In June, 1920, the initiatory steps toward the establishment of the American Peace Time Program in the county were taken, through the formation of a Public Health Service Com- mittee, with Mrs. W. E. Briggs as chairman, and Mrs. A. E. Coolot, Rev. Harvey V. Miller, Miss Amy Steinhart and Mrs. Robert T. Dev- lin as the other members of the committee.

This department is now actively functioning. Mothers' educational conferences are being held in the newly equipped offices on the ground floor of the Labor Temple, corner Eighth and I Streets. The Home Service activities are also still carried on, and have considerably increased with the return of the . soldiers from the war zone. This department also is giving service in filing various claims of the soldiers against the government, in assisting them to reestablish themselves in employment, and in rehabiliation generally.

John S. Chambers, who has taken a deep interest in the work, was chosen as the chair- man of the executive board, and F. B. McKev- itt, vice-chairman. The board at present con- sists of the following: George W. Peltier, chairman; Mrs. C. von Hoffman, executive secretary; Dr. E. L. Southworth, treasurer ; John T. Pigott, D. D. Sullivan, F. B. McKev- itt, John S. Chambers, Mrs. A. E. Coolot, Mrs. W. E. Briggs, Mrs. R. T. Devlin, Mrs. J. H. Christian, Mrs. Minnie O'Neil. Those in charge of the Home Service are: John T. Pigott, Mrs. A. E. Coolot, Mrs. C. K. Mc- Clatchy, Mrs. W. E. Briggs, Mrs. M. Beard, and Mrs. C. von Hoffman, secretary.

There were thirty-one Red Cross nurses en- rolled in or near Sacramento during the World War. Besides these, twelve others went overseas, while ten others were desig- nated as Home Defense Nurses, and all served faithfully. Of the twelve who went to the aid of the wounded on the battlefields, two died "over there."

The overseas nurses were: Iva V. Ansell, 60 Eleventh Avenue, Sacramento; Myrtle Brendel, 702 Twelfth Street, Sacramento; El- len Peacock, Sacramento County Hospital ; Kate T. Radford, 1016 N Street, Sacramento ; Opal J. Raney, Sacramento County Hospital ; Mary F. Ward, 1315 F Street, Sacramento ; Anastasia Miller, American Red Cross, Sacra- mento; Maud Evans, died of disease overseas ; Eunice Smythe, died overseas ; Bessie Rogers, moved from Sacramento; Stella Ricketts, moved from Sacramento; Christine Peterson, moved from Sacramento.

CHAPTER XXXII SACRAMENTO COUNTY WAR WORK

T THE PEOPLE of Sacramento County subscribed liberally, both in dollars and in man-power, to the prosecution of the government's program in the World War. This is attested by the success of the Liberty Bond drives, which netted close to $30,000,000, and by the response to the call to arms throughout the county, every section of which contrib- uted, both by enlistment and in the draft, its full quota of loyal sons, who fought-and many of whom died-in order that the liber- ties of the nations might not be crushed be- neath the iron heel of a militaristic aristocracy. In addition to the Liberty Bond purchases, the city of Sacramento alone subscribed a fund aggregating $1,240,000 for war work. Of this latter sum, more than half was donated to- ward local charities and through philanthropic organizations.

Every section of the county was represented in this patriotic war work, the people re- sponding liberally in various helpful ways that

contributed materially toward the winning of the war. Nor was their response to the call for sacrifice made in dollars alone. From their ranks a comparatively large number of men, and not a few women, enlisted in their country's service and actually took part in the great conflict. Many of these never returned, and today their graves are green on the sunny fields of France. Of those who went out from Sacramento County, ninety-one who served in the United States Army and seven who joined the United States Navy-one of these a mem- ber of the American Marine Corps-made the supreme sacrifice.

The honor-roll of those who enlisted from this county never to return was given out by Adjt .- Gen. J. J. Borree of the state of Cali- fornia at Sacramento, based upon lists fur- nished his office by the United States War and Navy Departments. All not otherwise in- dicated enlisted from Sacramento City. They are as follows :

CHAPTER XXXIII

COUNTY MILITARY ORGANIZATION

B EFORE California became a state the militia had been provided for. On April 10, 1850, the first legislature passed an act providing for the organization of the state militia into four divisions and eight brigades, the 1st Division to consist of Sacramento, Trin- ity, Shasta, Butte, Yuba, Sutter and Eldorado Counties. The legislature reserved the right to elect the generals. The next day that body met in joint convention and elected major-generals as follows: Thomas J. Green, John E. Brack- ett, David F. Douglass and Joshua H. Bean. It also elected as brigadier-generals, J. H. Eastland, A. M. Winn, Robert Semple, Gen. McDonald, John E. Addison, D. P. Baldwin, Thomas H. Bowen and J. M. Covarrubias. May 1, 1852, another law was passed organ- izing the militia into seven districts, and the 7th District was composed of Sacramento, Placer, Sutter and Eldorado Counties. April 25, 1855, an act was passed creating six divi- sions and twelve brigades. The 4th Division was composed of Sacramento, Amador, El- dorado, Placer, Nevada and Sierra Counties. The 1st Brigade of the division was composed
