Last week there came to me a token
of good will and remembrance from
my old time friend, Frank Scoville,
Esq, fruit grower, Corona, California.

in the lot. The older residents of the
Valley will remember Mr.. Scoville as
once of our community general
favorite whose departure was regret
ted by us all. To him and his have
ever since gone forth the best wishes
of the legion calling him friend.
