VALLE, JULIA Mrs. Julia Valle, one of Placer County’s oldest and most respected citizens, passed from this life at the family home in the Sylvan district, June 26th. Born in Germany more than 87 years ago, she came to America in 1847, making her home first in the east where she was united in marriage to Frederick W. Valle in 1851, and they together came to California a year later. Being bereft of her companion in 1888, she has resided with her family on the farm which has been her home for fifty-nine years, during which time she has made countless friends and had seen the wilderness grow into a prosperous and well-settled community. She was the devoted mother of 10 children, five of whom survive her: F. W. Valle of Oregon, Mrs. K. Burch, Mrs. F. Gardner, Mrs. R. Lauppe, and Mrs. A. Brown. She also left 39 grandchildren to mourn her death. The funeral services, which were private, were held at the home Wednesday and were in charge of the Ryan Parlors of Sacramento. Rev. Thomas H. Mee officiated at the services, and Mrs. R. H. Hawley and Mrs. J. N. Wilson rendered several touching musical selections. Six of the grandsons acted as pallbearers. The floral pieces were very beautiful and many a worthy attestation of the love and affection in which she was held. |

VAN VLEET, MERRY Mrs. G. H. Van Vleet passed away at the home of Mrs. Biscoe on Monday morning, December 12th, aged 69 years, 2 months, and 12 days. Mrs. Van Vleet was brought here from Oroville, December 3rd, suffering from Brights disease, and her children and many friends did all they could to relieve her suffering. She is survived by an aged husband, Rev. G. H. Van Vleet, and three sons, Frank, Fred, and Ernest, the two latter residing here with their families. Mrs. Van Vleet was a native of Syracuse, New York, and came to Placer County with her husband about 15 years ago where they have resided except the last two years which they spent on a ranch near Oroville. Mr. Van Vleet is one of the old pioneer Methodist ministers and a grand old man.

VLATKO, KMZMA K. Vlatko met instant death at 3 o’clock Monday morning on the railroad tracks at the Ben Ali crossing when the automobile in which he was driving to Sacramento got stalled on the track. Vlatko, whose home is at 251 Elm Street, Roseville, was accompanied by Miss Loraine Powers of the Rainbow Cabaret on Church Street, who told the officers that she was being taken to her home at Worth Hotel in Sacramento. Miss Powers was endeavoring to push the car from the track, and two men in a passing auto seeing their plight attempted to assist them. They saw the headlight of an approaching train and warned Vlatko that they wouldn’t have time to get the car off the track and warned him to jump. The automobile was thrown thirty feet through the air, and Vlatko’s body was picked up about a hundred feet from where the accident occurred. Vlatko, who has been employed in one of the round houses here for some years, is a married man but his wife was committed to the state hospital for insane at Stockton eight or ten months ago. |
