Mrs. Adeline Merriqm Conner

A true poetess and a truly great woman, went to her immortal reward on the fifteenth day of July, 1950, when Mrs. Adeline Merriam Conner passed away. Ifer passing took place in a hospital in Nevada City, Nevada County, California. With her husband, ex-lumberman Fred, she had lived near Nevada City since 1937, at which time he retired from the retail lumber business in Sacramento. They lived in the family home called The Twelve Cedars of the Twelve Apostles, named after twelve trees that rvere planted there in 1863. She is survived by her husband, Fred E. Conner.

Mrs. Conner was 79 years old. She came to California at the age of 8, and has been writing both prose and poetry, but principally very beautiful poetry, since she was a child. All through her career as the wife of an active lumberman, she translated into poems her inspired and beautiful thoughts about homes, and hills, and trees, and mountains, and other delightful matters. She was a true poet in that all her thoughts were inspirational. She always saw the silver lining to the clouds that came her way, and hers was indeed a beautiful gift. Blindness, that came upon her years ago, seemed to make her mind even brighter.

When the first number of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT was issued on July first, 1922, it contained a beautiful tribute and prophecy about the future of the magazine, under the two-column heading "What The California Lumber Merchant Can Do For California." She has been a constant contributor of beautiful poetry to THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT ever since then, a total of more than 28 years, and scores of her poems have graced these columns.

She concluded that first article of July fi,rst, 1922, with these words:

"We need THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT in our offices and places of business, in our homes, flats, and apartments, on our desks and library tables. We should make it part of our daily lives. We hope for great things and feel sure that no disappointment is in store for us. Give it a hand."

Sleep in peace, dear poetess of the hills.

We Recommend A Good Man

When we closed our Oroville cut stock plant, Mr. Harold Masteller, in charge, preferred to stay in California; quickly became Superintendent of a wood-working plant which proceeded to burn down and will not be rebuilt.

Mr. Masteller is too capable and energetia not to find a job at once, but he was to oconscientious and hard-working in our behalf for 'us not to help him get the kind of. position he deserves. He has not requ€sted help, kntows nothing about this ad.

He is about 35 years old, married, owns his home, can handle men intelligently; is well liked; knows the sawmill and woodworking game tioroughly-was raised in it.

' Most important-he is capable, hard-working, honest and conscientious to the Nth degree.

If you need a man to take responsibility, take-and give- orders, who isn't afraid of work. we recommend:
