CenterviIle.
Editor Morning Cal: Woods History
OF Alameda County," work chiefly re-
markable for the information which il might |
contain, but does not, says of Centerville |
II Is entirely problematical how this vii
lage received lis name. 1t may have been
that 1t was so called because it was midway |
between Mission San Jose and Alvarado.''
The astute historian was not far wrong in
his solution Of the entirely problematc
question. Not only is Centerville midway
between Mission San Jose and Alvarado,
but its position with reference to the |
other postoffices of the township is CEN |
trail Within radius of three miles or |
so are four towns, accessible by good roads, |
and just outside this limit are the aforesaid |
Mission and AlvaradO, the beginning and |
terminus of E. l.. Boards famous county |
road. "All roads lead to-Centerville, and |
we who reside here are of the opinion that |
they couldn't reach more charming burg, |
even tho they ran much farther Oh their
course.
Our little town lies in the center of our
beautiful valley, about equidstant from the
hills aud the bay. 1t has changed consider
ably since the days in the early ffties
when Captain Bond. who at the age OF 81
years still drives to church on Sunday morn
lnSS, FAR more active and straight-shoul-
dered than many younger man, built the |
little store at the meeting of the roads |
where for years he dealt in whisky, boots |
aud Goldfish" The old store disappeared |
years ago, and on its site. now stands the |
residence occupied by Mr.. Charles Suther- !
land; but its place has been taken by a |
number of fine store buildings, where enter
prising merchants dispense their wares to
the people.
All the different trades and occupations
are represented here. In fact, some lines |
haV
are two fine Notes.-The Gregory House and |
the United States Hotel; a good school |
house, though the rapidly increasing num- |
Der OF children in the district is sOrely try
ing its capacities, and three neat aud
attractive church ediices, where each Sun
day good congregations assemble for wOr-
ship. We doubt, in fact, whether there are
many larger congregations in the county
than the one which meets each Sunday
morning in the Catholic Church, where
Father Governo oiiciates. The Presby-,
terrain and Episcopal churches are also well
The Presbyterian Sunday-school was to
have held Christmas entertainment for |
the children on Tuesday evening but on
account Of the inclement weather the exer-
clses We're postponed, as the attendance was
very small.
The tyres, last week, made us say that
Mrs. Bunting. Mrs. Evelyn and Mrs. An
trimn were i'll with scarlet fever. Evelyn
and Antrim Bunting hardly recognized
themselves under those names. We are glad
to chronicle, however, that all are making
good recoveries from the fever. Mrs.
Howard Oyeracker Jr. and little Bessie
were also among the victims.
This year Peter Crosby will be among
those of our young people who are represent
ing Centerville in pedagogic circles. He has
secured the Harris School, near Livermore,
for the coming term. Miss Emily Smith is
also doing credit TO Centerville as teacher
in Huron, while Miss May Gregory is earn
ing laurelS in Eureka Nevada. Miss Maud
Robertson is fitting herself for teacher at
the State Normal, in San Jose.
The much talked-of ball was given We'd
