Guy Lovelace had reference number 16875. Article from the Alta Pioneers by Harry Hurst

Rabbit Hunters
Many sportsman throughout the valley during the winter months made a business of shooting jack rabbits for the San Francisco market. During the fall and winter of 1895-96, Albert and Guy Lovelace shipped from two to six sacks of rabbits each morning from the depot at Traver. For the ninety days in February, March and April they shipped 10,467 rabbits.
These hunters worked six days a week, and their work was done in the Traver and Cross Creek country. A record kept by them for this particular period which was published at the time follows:

Rabbits killed, 10,467.
Missed one out of every eight.
Best record, 58 straight.
Poorest record, missed seven straight.
Ninety-five out of every hundred shot on the run.
Shot used, 750 pounds.

Note: This article was provided to me by Rosalie Logan of the Sequoia Genealogical Society. In an accompaning note she said. ". . . rabbit hunts were so popular in Tulare County. They were quite overpopulated that the residents had to get rid of them. And then rabbit became quite popular in the San Francisco Restaurants."

Cecile Lovelace Bergwall

Nov. 30, 1911 - March 21, 2005

At her request, no services are planned for Cecile Lovelace Bergwall, who died in Santa Cruz on March 21, 2005, at the age of 93. Cecile was born in Dinuba, California, on November 30, 1911. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1934, the same place and year she met and married Phillip H. Bergwall of Vallejo. Cecile obtained a teaching certificate in 1935 and taught for a short time in Oakland. The couple then moved to Vallejo, where Phillip was an engineer at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. They built their first home on Napa Street in 1938-39. Between 1949-52, they built their permanent home on Rincon Way. After Phillip died in 1970, Cecile remained in her Vallejo home until 2000, at which time she moved to Santa Cruz to be near her two grown children.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Cecile enjoyed traveling in foreign countries, in Europe and Southeast Asia, and visiting Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Hong Kong. An active volunteer for many years, Cecile served on the board of the Friends of the Vallejo Library, and volunteered weekly at the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum. She also loved and supported the Vallejo Symphony. Cecile appreciated fine art and visited numerous museums in the Bay Area and during her travels abroad. Cecile enjoyed playing bridge with her friends and was always ready for a party. All agreed she was a most capable and gracious hostess.
Cecile is survived by her son, John P. Bergwall and partner Gillian Greensite of Santa Cruz; her daughter, Ann Terry and husband Jerry of Rancho Mirage, CA; her grandson, Michael Terry, and wife Elizabeth; her great-grandsons, Nicholas and Brendan Terry of Santa Monica; her sister-in-law, Mimi Bergwall Fitzpatrick of Bodega Bay; and many nieces and nephews.
