This was a 1908 Native Sons Grand Parlor. Grand Parlor was held in Yosemite twice. The first one in 1908 (31st) and second 1919 (42nd). Napa parlor has a panor...ama photo of the 1908 Grand Parlor in Yosemite, the year they planted the Native Son Tree. Thank you several members of the NSGW for the help finding out the details.

Lincoln Ice House Thank You David Lightfoot and Mic McCartney for the references and info! The Lincoln Ice House got its start in 1926 when the Ice House was mo...ved from Colusa CA to Lincoln. Lincoln Ice and Coal was successful for many decades. Bob Noyes, owned Lincoln Ice and Beverage before selling it to Mic. In 1957 Bob Noyes hired Mic McCartney at the ice house at .65 cents an hour crushing ice. The National Ice company would deliver ice in 300 lb blocks to the Lincoln business and then they were cut into smaller blocks. Then they were crushed and hauled out to stores and ranch accounts. Mic bought the company in 1985 and had 7 drivers and 2 office ladies. The business added many square feet of cold storage and rented out space as lockers for hanging meat. At this point there is over 10,000 square feet of storage and cold storage lockers. The original townsite of Lincoln was surveyed and laid out in 1859 by Theodore Judah along the proposed line of the California Central Railroad. The name "Lincoln" was conferred in honor of Charles Lincoln Wilson, one of the organizers and directors of the California Central Railroad. The CCRR was planned as a rail link between the cities of Marysville and Sacramento. In1861, due to a lack of funds, further construction on the California Central was temporarily halted and Lincoln experienced a small-scale boom as the northern terminus of this new road. Early 1870s, when rich clay deposits of the Ione Formation were discovered nearby. This led to the establishment of Gladding, McBean & Co., the pottery for which Lincoln is famous, ushering in a new era of prosperity and growth.

Club and guests in regalia from a few years ago.

Gladding McBean has used several fuels to fire their kilns. One fuel was wood.

The Brudge Hotel was on the corner of 5th and Lincoln Blvd, Lincoln Ca. A tire store there now. It open just before the rail road arrived in Lincoln
