Index notes: Chormicle, Mr. *
* Editor’s note: I believe this was Frank C. (likely Crawford) Chormicle, born around 1869 in California. He was listed as living in Kern County in the 1910 Census with his wife Rose and a son Oscar. However, by 1914 Rose had remarried and by 1918, Frank had remarried. The typographical error in the first sentence of the article is exactly as it appeared. I believe the writer meant “last Saturday night.”
