F Marion Wishon married Miss Mary Coppedge of Missouri, a daughter of Lindsay L. Coppedge, a Virginian and an honored member of an old and distinguished family of that State. He came to be a pioneer settler of Pulaski County, Mo., and for sixty years resided at Coppedge Mills, a place named from the mill he established there. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Marion Wishon. After his death, Polly moved with her son to Fresno California where son A G Wishon started the San Joaquin Light and Power Company that would one day lead to the mega utility Pacific Gas and Electric Company. http://ia700406.us.archive.org//coppedgefreemann00siev/cop

Miss Aline Foley, "Queenaline" Fresno High School class of 1918. On California Raisin Day April 28, 1916, Aline was crowned "Queen" of Fresno City. She loved "Dresses," and "Originating Coiffures." She was an "Adventuress," and desired to be an "Artist's Model." She died tragically in 1922 by using a hairdryer while taking a bath and was electrocuted.
The Fresno Geneolagical Society lead a volunteer effort to photograph all the crypts in the "Egyptian" mausoleum on Friday. Most of the photographs will eventually be added to the Ancestry.com subsidiary Findagrave.com. This mausoleum was also a final resting place for many Fresnan's of note including L O Stephens, an early Mayor and undertaker (Stephens and Bean).
