Inside Lincoln - October 2009

October 2009

50 years ago, Lincoln celebrated a centennial n 1959, the city of Lincoln celebrated its 100th birthday with a huge celebration. And the Lincoln News Messenger ran special publications highlighting many historic Lincoln moments. In May 1959, there was an all-day celebration planned for Lincoln, with the entire town involved, a whiskerino contest, centennial costumes, a parade and a special performance by Lincoln schoolchildren. Needless to say, the Lincoln News Messenger photographer was a very busy person! We have numerous sheets of small blackand-white photos from the celebration and days leading up to the celebration. Unfortunately, most of the photos are unidentified. Some of the pictures we are publishing may not have any information

What makes Lincoln so special? Some residents such as Bill Andrus, Mick McCartney, Jerry Logan and Mayor Spencer Short have lived here for years. McCartney, whose grandfather moved here in 1872, and his wife owned The Lincoln Ice and Beverage Company. Also serving on City Council, he watched the community grow from 4,000 to 40,000 residents. One of his favorite memories was his

50th high-school class reunion. There, he reconnected with his former classmates. He believes that the willingness of everyone here to help each other is what makes Lincoln special. Andrus said he “really, truly loves and cares about Lincoln.” He proudly served as a member of the Lincoln Lions Club for 30 years and served as club president for four years. One of his favorite stories is about the yearly Christmas Basket Program where the club donated boxes of

food including “all the fixings” to complete Christmas dinners for local families in need. One year, they provided a woman and her family with a Christmas basket and they received an unexpected gift. She expressed her gratitude by baking them a Christmas cake and delivered it a few hours later. Although times have changed, according to Andrus, Lincoln is still a beautiful place to shop and to live. There are more strangers now, he said, but “they are only strangers

until you meet them.” Logan says that Lincoln was a typical American small town with a railroad, agriculture and industry, all of the components needed for families to live here. The friendliness of residents is the reason his family chose to live here for five generations. He appreciates the historical buildings downtown and the friendships he developed here. For Logan, the biannual homecoming celebrations present the opportunity to rekindle friendships. This year is a special year, a historical time to celebrate the 150-year birthday of his beloved town. (For a speech Logan wrote for the centennial, see page 4.) Third-generation Short remembers Lincoln as a quiet, friendly town. Those who are new to the area continue to retain the small-town val-

ues of the community, according to Short. Short refers to Lincoln as “the Jewel of Placer County” because of its beauty, its diversity, and its civic interests. He is most proud of the Citizen’s Volunteer Program where citizens volunteered 22,000 hours filing, bicycle patrolling and working at schools to improve the quality of life. The mayor says this is a “pretty darn good time to party” at the 150 Year Lincoln Birthday Celebration on Oct. 3. The Oct. 3 event includes a Family 5K Fun Run/Walk at 8 a.m. at Twelve Bridges Park.

A look back at Lincoln’s 150 years

‘The way we were’

The city of Lincoln was a sleepy little town for most of its years but nonetheless is rich in history. Surrounding cities grew and flourished and Lincoln was quietly waiting for its turn. Our turn has come and we have grown but we haven’t grown out of the reason so many people came to Lincoln – the hometown feel. Jerry Logan, who has deep roots in Lincoln and has devoted much of his life capturing

BY JERRY LOGAN

the history of Lincoln, delivered a speech in 1984 at Lincoln’s 125th- anniversary. I don’t think anyone could write anything better about our city. It’s 25 years old but the comments are timeless. It connects “our past with our progress” perfectly and gives us a glimpse of our journey. ~ Ruth Alves Lincoln’s 150th-year celebration committee member

Given At Lincoln’s 125th anniversary celebration in 1984 e are Lincolnites and we have a long history. Few other areas in California have roots that go so deep. 1984 was officially the 125th anniversary of our beginning as a town. But we are older than that. We were here in 1849, and earlier, although we didn’t collect together as one town until 1859.

What were we like during certain periods of our past?

By 1849, we were still few in number. Our neighbor from the Sheridan area, Claude Chana, had discovered gold on Auburn Ravine above Ophir in 1948. Another neighbor, Cornelius Quinn, had begun raising stock on Coon Creek. These were discovered what were to be our twin resources for at least the next 135 years – mining and agriculture. California was not yet a state. The U.S. Army established an outpost to protect us in 1849: Camp Far West. In the 1850s, those of us who were miners estab-

lished several small towns.

Our earliest settlements were Coon Creek, west of the present Highway 65; Gold Hill, 6 miles up Auburn Ravine, Oro City, 5 ½ miles up the same ravine; Virginia, 4 miles up the ravine. This was before 1852. Still eight years to go before the first building was to go up in Lincoln. In the mid-1850s, we hauled in lumber to build Newtown, at Mt. Pleasant (also called Hungry Hollow then); Fox’s Flat (also called Fort Trojan), 2 miles up Auburn Ravine, Daneville, at the present McCourtney and Fleming roads and Whiskey Diggings, later Kilaga Springs. We came from Missouri

But the railroad company ran out of money. Judah sold his land to Charles Lincoln Wilson for $600. Wilson founded the town and called it “Lincoln,” his middle name. We were very close to being named “Wilsonites.” and Pennsylvania and Ohio and Illinois and Louisiana and every other state existing at that time. We came from Germany and France and Denmark and Mexico and Asia. Those of us who were farmers had settled mainly along Coon Creek, Lower Auburn Ravine, Doty’s Ravine and Bear River. We were Aharts and Cates and Cartwrights and Chamberlains and Frenches and Fullers and Dowds and Dalbeys and

Gates and Goves and Ewings and Karchners and Malones and Mariners and Moores and Naders and Sparks and Wiswells and Allens and many others, then and since. A railroad was planned through our area. It was to go to Marysville and then over the Sierra. The planning engineer, Theodore Judah, took out the patent on the unoccupied land, which now makes up Lincoln. He saw it as a proba-

ble good site for a town on the coming railroad. The roads from the mines immediately to the east came out of the mountains near here. Roads to Marysville and Nicolaus and Nevada went by here. The water from Auburn Ravine was plentiful and available. And with the railroad too, the classic conditions for a town or a city would be present. But the railroad company ran out of money. The line actually ended here. Judah sold his land to Charles Lincoln Wilson for $600. Wilson founded the town and called it “Lincoln,” his middle name. We were very close to being named

“Wilsonites.” In the 1960s, we were a bustling railroad terminal. From the north, the east and the west stagecoaches and wagons rumbled in to meet or connect with the trains. We moved in from Gold Hill and Fox’s Flat and Virgina and Daneville and Whiskey Diggins. We were Ziegenbeins and Ingrams and Toffts and Grays and Aldriches and Burdges and Sanders and Flemings and Boydens – and many more, then and since. We built a proud little town. We had five hotels. We had at least seven saloons. We had a train depot and stagecoach • SEE LOGAN PAGE 14

50 years ago, McBean honored at time capsule ceremony From the Lincoln News Messenger archives, May 28, 1959, page 4 In a simple program which had as its highlight the honoring of Atholl McBean, son of one of the founders of Gladding, McBean and company, the Lincoln Centennial celebration was officially opened last Sunday afternoon at McBean Memorial park. Approximately 300 persons were present, including a number of dignitaries from out of town. Mr. McBean received a plaque from the city of Lincoln, presented by Mayor Celeste Stockley, in

appreciation of the many things he and his family have done for the city of Lincoln. Mayor Clarence Azevedo of Sacramento also presented the key to the city of Sacramento to Mr. McBean. In a brief speech, the honored guest said it had been his pleasure to assist the city in developing its facilities, particularly the present park. He noted that it was his idea that a swimming pool would be an appropriate gift to the community in the 1920’s, and it was at his suggestion the McBean family made available the funds for

indicated a desire to do your part.” “It is our hope we can continue to be of assistance to the community, particularly in such phases as playground for the children.” Mr. McBean humorously recounted his first job at the local plant. “I

came here May 25, 1899. After working a month without a pay check, Mr. Gladding (one of the founders) was approached by Bill Sparks, company bookkeeper to see what pay I should get. Mr. Gladding finally decided that I would get $1.25 a day, the lowest pay

in the plant at the time.” John Perry, superintendent of the local plant, presented him with $1.25, representing the pay he had earned in those early days. Dick Noyes, chairman of the Supervisors club committee in charge of the time capsule, explained plans for the capsule and then unveiled a ceramic plaque which will be located at the site of the capsule. He said the capsule will be sealed after the celebration when many items of the celebration itself will be included.

LOGAN continued from page 5 depot. We had a bakery and brewery; a butcher shop; a blacksmith shop; carriage and wagon makers and sellers; a bandstand downtown. We miss these things. We also had a copper rush. We built three new

towns out in the Mt. Pleasant area: Wilson, Superior and Valley View. But the bottom soon fell out of the copper market and, once again, we moved into Lincoln. In the 1870s, we started mining coal. We also began a clay industry. The Gladdings and the McBeans joined us. We had accidents and our children died of diphtheria and scarlet fever and smallpox. We were subjected to crime and murder. But we also had a thriving and good neighbor to the north by this time, the town of Sheridan. And we were beginning to develop a strong feeling of community here in the Lincoln area.

of newcomers. We have all been newcomers once. Whether we came more than 135 years ago, or yesterday, we brought our valuable roots and heritage and energy to add to the common pool. The history we celebrate is the story of successive waves of newcomers, all with important backgrounds. In the 1880s, we had a big fire but we grew and we started a newspaper. It is still with us. In the 1890s, we reached a population of 1,000. We had a quarry and a marble and granite works. The Exchange Hotel and the Hotel Burdge were the places to stay. We also became an incorporated town, which led to our calling ourselves the “Town of Lincoln” and later, the “City of Lincoln.” In the first decade of the 20th century, we celebrated our 50th anniversary in grand style; we built the present library, we formed a chamber of commerce.

since our 50th anniversary celebration, we have grown steadily and sensibly. We have developed an important airport. We have recently begun to add industries. We had heroes.

There were many others in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnamese War.

our deep roots as a town and as a supporting community. We have built community and civic centers and buildings and recreation facilities. We have consolidated our many school districts into one – school districts that survived the towns where we started. This act parallels what we did 100 years earlier, when we consolidated our many towns into one.

Tomorrow, we will not be the way we were nor even the way we are today. Our mission, as we stand at the threshold of big changes in the future is to manage it well enough to leave our most important heritage – our basic environment, our human qualities and values, and our sense of close-knit community – intact.
