Life in Sheridan, Picnic with Mattie Lewis

A photo of Elizabeth and Annie Cults, Mattie Lewis, and Ira S. Jones.

I know my mother went out with Ira Jones before she met my father but she was never serious with him. They used to go to picnics at Mt Pleasant & dances at the Shed. Sheridan was known as Union Shed when Eugene Rogers built a freight team shed in 1857 for the teams that came through the crossroads. When Mama was young, there was a Ball every month & people came from Auburn, Grass Valley, Marysville, and Sacramento.
