LetterOct, 1979Fresno, Calif. October, 1979

Dear Chris,

     My! How you surprised me. Your letter came in this A.M. Mail. To go back
to Chico, in my mind is a big job. I have been away so long. There are
no close relatives left and I write very few letters.

     In 1900 my Father and Mother moved to Calif. from N.Y. State. They bought
land in Chico (11 acres). Bidwell Rancho had been newly subdivided. Our
home was a part of the Bidwell Ranch on Chico Creek, south of Chico town,
proper. Later, many years after my Father and Mother died, it was sold
and subdivided: a tract of small homes and still is as far as I know.

     I lived on the original 11 acres your great grandpa bought, in a house
he built. It has since burned.

     My Father put in alfalfa sometime in 1901 or 1902. It was very
productive land and he soon collected a herd of milk cows and was a Dairy
man. There were no bottles in those days. He had a milk route in town, a
horse and light wagon to peddle the milk from very large cans and a quart
measuring container.

     I had to practice piano and I had chores to do. We had to make our own
fun. I had a brother older and sister younger. Both are dead for many
years. I loved to ride the milk route. The milk wagon was drawn by a
black horse, old Nig. My Father sold milk for 8¢ per qt. Here in Fresno,
80 years later, I pay 40¢. One of my duties was to churn the butter.
Father sold this butter on the milk route to his customers (gee! was it
sweet and good). From the butter, we got butter milk which was very
different from any you can buy today. We loved it cold.

     I learned to embroider simple things like dish towels. All our sugar and
flour came in cloth bags which were used to make our underwear, dish
towels, etc.

I liked to ride horses. My Father bought me a small
lady horse. Her name was Doris. With the horse came a pretty green and tan
saddle, an orange colored blanket to put under the saddle and a bridle to
put on the horse's head. Sometimes I helped my Father drive cows and
calves to pasture. I had to feed a whole lot of hens and chickens, gather
the eggs and if we had chicken for dinner, I had to pluck the
feathers off before my mom cooked it. Then, we grew lots of berries. I
picked many boxes of black berries, black cap raspberries, also red
raspberries.

     My Father liked horse radish and I always helped him fix it to eat. It
was like onions. It made you cry when you were grinding it.

     We had a big swing on a large old oak tree in our yard and it was fun to
swing in the shade on a hot day. Chico Creek ran close to our house and
we went wading in it to cool off. The boys swam in the deep holes. We
swung on the long grap vines out over the creek and dropped off into water
to cool us off on a hot day.

We had no neighbors for sometime. I walked to school
about 2 miles away. Across the creek from where we settled was a big wheat
ranch. I remember seeing them work the harvesters. The machine itself
was drawn by about 30 mules. One man drove with a jerk line and called
out gee or haw depending which way he wanted the leader to turn. I guess
the rest of the mules followed.

     I went to Chico to live as a little girl 7 years old and left
when I married your grandfather and went to live in Richvale where
I had been teaching school the previous 2 years.

As I've written, the largest part of the 11 acres was put
into alfalfa. There were cow barns and corrals and a small orange
orchard. The south east corner, several acres, was house, family orchard
and garden. Later Father, Wm. Houghton, sold the cows and went into the
poultry business. He bought live poultry and sold dressed poultry to
people living in town. About the time he was killed, he had a flourishing
almond orchard on the back half of the original place. The almond orchard
was surveyed and made into a small subdivision after I left home to teach
in Richvale. It was when my Father died in a car accident that I was last
home, just for a visit, about 1920.

     Your Father was born in the old Enloe Hospital in the town of Chico at
the time your grandfather and I were living in Richvale, where he grew
several hundred acres of rice. Your father started school at the Nord
Ave. School which was closest to the original Houghton property on which
we lived when he was 6-7-8 years old.

     Your grandfather was born in Nebraska and came to Calif. from Swede Home,
Nebraska about 1911. He came alone, but with friends who wanted to try
growing rice. Pioneering in rice was something. Most Swedes had horses at
first and some of the first years were inclement weather-wise, a long wet
winter which delayed getting the rice in and in the fall harvest it
delayed the harvesting. Rough going for everyone. Not much machinery
then.

     Grandpa Nelson bought something like 10-20 acres of land when he came in
1911, just back of the Richvale Hotel and not too far from highway 99
East. He leased a small acreage on higway 99 east of Richvale where we
rented a cozy little cottage and where your father took up residence. The
year your father was born, your grandfather leased 300 acres which he had
in rice. Crop was good but weather WET.
He borrowed money from a Gridley Bank to buy the seed. 6¢ per lb. cost of
rice, bottom fell out of market and he could only get 1¢ per lb. at
harvest. That finished us for several years. That is when Grandpa Nelson
left farming and went back to his trade of carpentering. We moved to Chico
and at that time we had 3 children - your father, uncle Bernarr and little
sister Marion. The U.S. had quite a depression and jobs in grandpa's work
were hard to find in an agricultural area. So we rented a 5 room house
close to my Father and Mother in Chico and your grandpa went to S.F. and
found building in swing. The three children and I lived in an old
has-been
about 1 1/2 years.

     By that time grandpa Nelson had found his niche with a big builder and
we all moved to S.F. on 21st Street. It was a flat across the street
from Mission Park in Mission part of S.F. None of us likedliving there, so
eventually moved down peninsula to San Mateo.

     It was the beginning of work for your father. At 12 years age he took
his first paper route. He proved reliable, was able to save his money to
buy his school clothes and books, keep up a bike, eventually bought his
first car, The Blue Dragon. Your Father's grades at school never wavered.
He was always at top of his class, managed a big paper route and was a
great help to me at home. When work was scarce for your grandfather, your
father would and did loan mom a quarter, a dollar
or whatever was needed for groceries.

     Grandpa's years at raising rice were very difficult. Rice growing was in
its infancy. He rented a vacated store and used it as a repair shop for
his machinery but lived at the Richvale Hotel a few blocks away. At this
country motel the 2 Richvale school teachers also lived and boarded. That
is where I met your grandfather. About 1915, your grandfather found an
abandoned little car, a Metz roadster. He got
possesion thru the Bank, got it to his shop and learned to fix and run it
so that when your father arrived we went back and forth to Chico where my
people lived, to Oroville, Biggs, Gridley and Marysville.

     Grandpa and I were married June 13th, 1-917. We had a garden wedding
under 3 enormous big oak trees that grew in our front yard -- tables were
spread and sandwiches etc. with 2 or 3 big cakes and punch for drink, and
music by my brother Charles' big grafaphone. It was harvest time and
grandpa Nelson was helping a big wheat rancher get his grain to market,
so, no honeymoon until late August when we
drove in the Metz to Oregon and back by coast road which was just being
surveyed, highway 101.

     The First Presbyterian minister of Chico married us, Dr. Orland Hart.
Grandpa was 33 and I was 24. My forefathers, the Houghtons, belonged to
England, pulled away from Church of England and came to U.S. and settled
on shores of Massachusetts and Connecticutt in 1670. Were called the
Puritans.

     Your Father, his brother Bernarr and sister Marion were all taken in to
Chico First Presbyterian Church, located on First at foot of Broadway.
All my people were members about 1910-1912. After I wasmarried a
mysterious fire burned the church to the ground. No records were saved.
I have my Marriage certificate in a metal box here whereI keep other
valuable papers, like my birth certificate, grandpa's death certificate,
etc.

     Your father has cousins in and around Chico. My brother had 5 children.
One of my nephews, Bill, or Ross as we called him, took hisfather's
business. One daughter Sharon. I don't recall her married name.

     Your father joined the First Methodist in Burlingame, with a group of his
friends, while he was in Junior College in San Mateo. Then he went to
Berkeley where he was still a Methodist and finally went to P.S.R. where
he trained for ministry about the time you were born.

     My sister Marion Lester who married Allen Lester lived east and
south of Gridley. They had no children of their own but adopted a boy 10
years old Wallace. In W.W. II, Wallace joined Navy and saw action in
Sicily, was killed in battalion that stormed the beaches there.

     The Richvale Hotel was about 6 blocks west of the rice warehouses. It was
a very small, 2 story farm community Hotel. Two Swede sisters ran it. I
think I paid $40 per month room and board. I taught school two years
there. After grandpa and I were married, he had a chance to lease rice
land east of Richvale with a house on it. Your father lived there as a
little boy or until he went to school age 6. I taught him all the work of
first three years and he really jumped immediately into 3rd grade. His
teachers were concerned as what to do with him as he was so far advanced
from those he started with. Rather than have him get into mischief they
thought it best to have him skip. It did not seem to hurt him in
afteryears, but the skipping did not work with Bernarr. He wasn't such an
eager beaver, but was good doing school at a slower pace. He enjoyed life
as it came along.

     It does my old noodle good to think back 40 years. I am glad I retained
some of it. We were kids just like you and yours.

My love to Betty and girls,

BiographyGeometric allegory . . .
a sort of universal matrix.
This has been the fascination of many people throughout history, such as Euclid [appearing, incomplete, in his First Proposition], Plato [Timaeus; 'Platonic Solids], Pythagoras [Tetractys], Paciola [i.e. "Divine Proportion"], da Vinci, Kepler, Buckminister Fuller [geodesic dome]. . . who stole some of my thoughts.

It is a study where the old saying, "All of my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients," comes into play.
It tends to lead one on a journey thru science, religion, philosophy, symbology and a bridge which tends to unite them.

Gary
