About me:
I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

. . to get married
Girl's Parents Objected As She Was Only 15 Years Old
Unable to secure the consent of the bride's parents to their marriage, Miss Cornelia Bounds, fifteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Preston A. Bounds, of No. 908 North Fifth Avenue, and Mr. E. T. Holdon, connected with the Gate City Life Insurance Company of this city, went Saturday afternoon to Supply, where they were married at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Holdon. The ceremony was performed in the presence of a few friends by Reb. A. W. Clemmons, pastor of Prospect Baptist church.
They young couple took the train from Wilmington to Bolivia, and there an automobile was waiting which took them to Supply where the wedding took place at 7 o'clock. They spent the night at the home of the groom's parents, but returned to Wilmington yesterday afternoon and will take up their residence at 414 North Front street.
Mrs. Bounds, who was reached by telephone last night, stated that her daughter was only fifteen years of age and for that reason she and Mr. Bounds had objected very much to her daughter's marriage. The groom is about 23 years old. His parents did not object to the marriage, it is understood. Up until a late hour last night, the young couple had made no move to secure the forgiveness of the bride's parents.

Friend recalls lost Carroll County Teen
HUNTINGDON - Since kindergarten, Rachel Allen can remember chatting with Jessica Dawn Julius on the bus ride back and forth to school.
As she sat in her home Saturday evening rocking in a chair with one leg tucked underneath her, Allen fondly remembered her calssmate, who was discovered dead in her home just a mile away.
"I told my mother that I keep hoping this is all a dream and that any minute I'm going to wake up and everything will be fine," Allen, 18, said as her eyes slowly began to tear up.
Julius, 17, was 21 weeks pregnant. She was found around 3 a.m. Friday at her home in the 600 block of Colvett Road. Investigators had not made any arrests as of Saturday evening, nor were they releasing a cause of death for Julius or her baby girl. But Julius' death is being investigated as a homicide by the Carroll County Sheriff's Department and members of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations Crime Scene team from Memphis.
TBI Special Agent in Charge John Mehr said Friday that the district attorney would be the one to decide whether to charge a suspect with a double homicide. A viable fetus is included in the definition of a victim under a state homicide law, according to the LexisNexis online law database. Another state law, regarding abortion, defines a viable fetus as one capable of surviving outside of the womb and says that may occur at more than 24 weeks from the time of conception.
Allen learned of her former classmate's death from her mother, Billie Allen, who received a phone call from a family friend. "Nothing like this has ever happend out here before, and it's unnerving," Billie Allen said. "No one has said anything about how she died. Everyone is hush-hush about it."
Allen and Julius shared an interest in beginning careers in the medical field. Julius, who was a senior at Huntingdon High School, had been active in the Health Occupation Students of America organization along with Allen.
"We took a picture together during our HOSA meeting back in March," said Allen, who graduated from Huntingdon High in May and was one year ahead of Julius. "I would see her in passing sometimes, but the last time we really talked was during my graduation," she said.
Allen plans to show support to Julius' family as they prepare to complete her funder arrangements. "All we can do is pray for the best. I have moments when I cry, but I'm trying to get it together," she said. "Jessica was fun to be around and she always made me laugh. Even if she felt bad, she would laugh."
Allen says she will always remember Jessica's personality. "Some people thought she was outspoken and they didn't understand her, but I think others respected her for it," Allen said. "She was always a person to tell you what she thought."
Jessica and her mother, Glenda Julius, lived in the residence alone, according to a neighbor and family friend. "Her mother was at work when it happended," said Suzy Cary, who lives a few houses up the street from the Julius home. Cary said on Friday night that she didn't hear anything suspicious early Friday morning.
"Her mother came up to my house early Friday morning because the police wouldn't let her in," Cary said. "I just feel so bad about it. I've known Jessica since she was a little bitty thing, and I though lots of her."

Bernice Pendracki was my grandmother. She was so talented. She could live on a farm if she had to and make her own everything. I never met my grandfather, her husband, as he died three or four months before I was born. My grandfather came over on a boat from Poland with her parents as a child. I thought I heard four or five years of age then I heard eight or nine years of age so I'm not quite certain how old she was. And I'm sad to say I don't know what city she came from if it was a major city like Krakow Poland or a city nobody has really heard of. Her maiden name was witkowski. She had a great sister named viola. My grandmother could sew just about anything. She could knit and crochet just about anything. She could cook and make stuff from scratch. She would make her own pie shells unlike the shells that people buy today. She would make her own pickles in a pickle barrel. She would so stuffed animals and children's clothing and clothing for dolls. There was just about nothing she could not do. She was a good lady with a good temperament. She liked to play cards especially solitaire. I'm so sorry that I don't know more. Somebody took all of the photo albums so I'm so sorry that I don't have a picture to post. But I wanted to say something about you grandma and let the world know that you are a great person and so is your sister viola. My grandma had two daughters named Sophia and Virginia. She also had a son but he died just after being born. I see there are other Pendracki's who lived in Dearborn Michigan and they very well could have been my grandfather's siblings. Or possibly cousins? It's very upsetting to me that I don't know who they were but being that they were all about the same age they probably were related. But grandfather and grandmother started a family and lived in Detroit and eventually moved to Dearborn michigan. That is why I think some of the other Pendracki's must be related.
I'm so sorry that you had a stroke grandma and that your last few years were not good ones. I'm glad you're in heaven along with your husband, sister, baby brother, your two daughters, your parents and more. I have nothing but good memories of you and I love you.

. . . what a great heart you must have," wrote Mrs. Ruth E. Franchell (of 2460 Fatzler Rd., E. G.) to police Chief Robert Cotron.
"I read the item in the Sentinel this morning on the robot-neighbor calling system for older people. It is marvelous. You must have a great heart," she wrote.
SHE ADDED, "one night I was alone and had a spell during which I couldn't get up. I screamed for help until daybreak. Finally, my next-door neighbor heard me. Your system for reaching older people to find out how they are each morning is wonderful. I shall feel safer now. Please put me on your call list."
The new call system (in cooperation with Brevard's council on aging) will be operated by Isabelle Downey, secretary of police, and involves a computer phone that dials automatically persons who fail to call Miss Downey each day.

Plea deal results in 3.5 years in state prison
A former Brookfield resident, charged with killing his passenger when he rammed his motorcycle into the rear end of a car on First Avenue, pleaded guilty to aggravated drunken driving at a court hearing on Oct. 14 and was sentenced to three and a half years in state prison.
James Duddleston II, 28, was drunk when, according to witnesses, his motorcycle roared northbound on First Avenue in Lyons from Ogden Avenue at an estimated 90 mph at 4:20 a.m. on Sept. 4, 2010.
Behind Duddleston on his 2002 Honda racing-style motorcycle – modified by removing the rear pegs and seat – was 24-year-old Lissette Loncola of Lyons.
The motorcycle slammed into the back end of a northbound Cadillac, throwing Duddleston over the handlebars through the rear windshield of the car, injuring Duddleston and one of the six passengers inside the vehicle. Duddleston was hospitalized for treatment of his injuries until he was turned over to Lyons police on Sept. 10, 2010.
Loncola was thrown from the motorcycle and landed in the southbound lanes of First Avenue. She died later that morning at Loyola University Medical Center as a result of head injuries sustained in the crash. Neither Duddleston nor Loncola was wearing a helmet, according to police.
Duddleston had been charged with reckless homicide in addition to felony drunken driving. In a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty to the DUI and driving on a suspended/revoked license. He had been free on bond until agreeing to the plea deal.
