    Notes 
    • San Francisco Call, June 7, 1899:

      Walter C. Byrne and Miss Mabel Drennan were married this morning at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Louisa Drennan.

      The interior of the home presented a beautiful appearance. The back parlor, where the ceremony was solemnized, was decorated with festoons of smilax, woodwardia ferns and the pure white wax lily, which was the only flower used. The main parlor was decorated with sweet peas. The young couple stood in the bay-win-dow and the beautiful Episcopal service was road by Rev. James B. Orr of the First Congregational Church. The bride was gowned in a silk dress of blue— the same one used by her mother at her wedding. Miss Drennan was attended by her sister, Miss Dora Drennan, and Mr. Byrne by Thomas G. McCreary. A wedding breakfast followed the ceremony. The tables had been placed in the lawn under the trees, and in this natural garden spot with the addition of immense clusters of azaleas the breakfast was enjoyed.

      Mrs. Byrne is a native of Santa Cruz and a graduate of the local high school and the State Normal School. For a number of years she has taught in the Santa Cruz schools.

      Mr. Byrne is a member of the firm of Byrne Bros. [13]

    Dear Barbara,

    I have been waiting 1 hr and 3 quarters for the parade & it gives me a pain. I could be reading the Horseman of the Planes at home & see the parade. I am in the stands wrighting this standing up. And then the parade began. It was funny as anything. They had men bathing beauties and most of them weighed 200 lbs. They had a baby parade and fake men nurses. I am wrighting this in school at Mission Hill Nov 9, 1926. You can show this letter to Helen Jo if you feel like. I better stop & get my arithmetic. Mr. Scott is going. Worked 2 hr 17 min on arithmetic doing 10 problems.

    Love,
    Gilbert
