    According to Earl L. Kelly, 1996:
    He was a forest ranger and worked at Forest Hill Ca. near Grass Valley. In his younger years he ran a freight line between Marysville and La Porte, one time My father when about 10 years old rode with him on the freight wagon, It was spring and the high water weakened the Dry Creek bridge out of Marysville, the heavily loaded wagon broke through the bridge killing a number of the draft horses. This was told to me many years ago by my father C.L. Kelly. He also told of his first trip to Oroville Ca., it was springtime and the streets were a quagmire of mud, the sidewalks were wood and the business were general stores, livery stables, and sportin' houses and a few blacksmith's. No utilities as we know them. The date was about 1885. Oroville had a population of 5000 Chinese at one time.

    A note from Stacey Flowerdew (August 2, 2005):

    "He's my great grandfather! Actually, he was often called "Percy", his middle name, in addition to signing his name (and stamping all the books and pamplets he owned) "E.P. Gleason". He seemed to be a jack of all trades. Trained as a teacher he worked everywhere between Capay, Yolo County, CA. and Downieville, Sierra County, CA and Camptonville, Yuba County, CA. He and my great grandmother wrote prolific letters to each other before they were married. I have yet to sort through them all but the majority are dated 1899/1900. I *think* they were married 31 Dec 1901, with the "proof" date of 1902. He became a forest ranger for the US Forest Service (new branch) in 1911 according to my grandmother, Jean. His wife Lydia Lee taught at the North Bloomfield (Nevada County) school before moving to Nevada City in 1920. I'm not sure how long they were in North Bloomfield as my grandmother Jean (the baby of the bunch) was born in Challenge, Yuba County, CA in 1914".

    "He and Lydia Lee Vineyard had 8 children. Harold, Ralph, Donald, Earl, Ray, Verne, Ruth (b. 8 Dec 1912) and Jean (b. 18 Feb 1914, d. 27 Jun 2005). Ruth is the only one still living".
