     Falor Not Guilty of Larceny Charge

After deliberating three hours on Wednesday of last week, the jury in the case of Milo Falor charged with grand larceny for taking Elmer (Fudd) Gillis’ car at McKinlleyville last November, came into court with a verdict of hinged on the instruction to the jury that it must be shown that Falor took the Elmer Gullis car with the intension of permanently depriving the owner of it. The testimony went to show that Falor took the car for the purpose of making his getaway in it after shooting up a house where Gillis, his rival, was supposed to be hidden, and that Falor abandoned the car near Bridgeville.

Falor who has already served eight months at the county jail pending trial, was released on the grand larceny charge, but was returned to jail to await trial on charge of assault to murder growing out of the shooting referred to."

“The Story of Blue Lake by Mrs. Eugene F. Fountain, Historian. Dated: Thursday, May 26, 1955.

In this chapter, we return to an earlier period than that dealt with in the last article, but it is necessary in order to dispose of all the Pioneers who have been named as having resided near Liscom Hill. The remotest of their time gives their history an importance, even though their connection with this locality was of brief duration. Unless they are included here, it is all too likely the record will disappear entirely.

     The Blue Lake Advocate of August 28, 1897 gives us a glimpse of the earliest settlers considered in this group of transient residents, and shows the contrast existing in the kinds of pioneers here. “Mr. Henry Knutz said when he first came here in 1854 to join his brother. Carnelius P. Knutz, who was then mining in the New River Section, he met only one house on Mad River where Blue Lake now stands. It was the only house between Arcata and Angels Ranch and was inhabited by an old Mexican named Ynez and his wife from Peru, named Monica. The woman emigrated to Humboldt County with the Brizard family a few years previous. (Line missing) to build the structure in Arcata at the northwest corner of eleventh and H streets, Arcata in September 1865. The Masons, Odd Fellows and the town authorities of Arcata combined in erecting this building. The Lodges used the upper floor, while the lower part served as a school. This change from running a ranch and hotel at Redwood Creek during the Indian troubles must have seemed much safer to Mr. Eimbail, yet W.W. Tracy fell while working on the large structure, breaking his thigh. This accident occurred in April, 1866.

     Another Prominent family who lived in the region was the Falor family. The first generation of Falors in California were represented by Milo John Falor and his brother Oliver P. Falor. The grandson of Milo Falor, George Falor of Arcata, gave me a great deal of valuable information about the family and the nephew of the latter, Ward Falor, also contributed some interesting items. My notes record that there were seventeen children in the family in Ohio, of which Milo and Oliver were two.

     Oliver Falor subsequently returned to the state of Ohio where passed away in 1926, at the age of ninety years. In 1852 Milo left his wife Caroline and three year old son, Arthur Pliney Falor in Illinois, while he came to the Forks of Salmon River and ran the hotel at that place. His wife and son joined him in 1855, having accompanied Oliver Falor to California. Their first daughter, Mary Emma was born at the Forks on May 1, 1856. (She married John Dolson of Arcata in February, 1876.) About 1858 the family moved to Hoopa, where Albert Allen was born in 1860 and Frank Eugene Falor, in 1861. It must have been soon after Frank’s birth that the family moved to Liscom Hill. When A. P. Falor died in December 1915, the account of his life mentioned this region briefly. “After leaving the Forks of the Salmon River, he lived at Hoopa and after that at Liscom Hill.”

     In Book E. of Deeds-Page 602, there is recorded a deed from H.S. Daniels to M.P. Falor for a tract of land lying south and east from the center of the old of Mad River in the north-west quarter of section 16, Township 6 North, Range 1 east, being a portion of a tract of land purchased from the State of California, January 7, 1863.” On this farm Mr. Falor built the large two-story house which may be seen today along highway 299. He had the upper story built to serve as the grange headquarters and until recently the name indicating the original old grange Hall could be seen there by every passerby. A deep orange rose clambered over the front of the house. It had been brought from the east, and many were the slips started from the “Falor Rose”,” as it came to be known by many the visitors to the hospitable home.

     The weekly Telephone of December 31, 1881 reported a surprising outrage. “Last night, during the progress of a Christmas party at the house of Milo Falor, near Arcata, some miscreant set fire to the hay barn, which was entirely consumed with its contents, about 10 tons of hay. This is not the first time outrages have been perpetrated on Mr. Falor’s premises during social gatherings at his house and it is to be hoped the perpetrators may be caught.” At that time a foreigner lived in that region, who was so cruel to his little daughter that the authorities finally took her away. He may have been seeking revenge on those he knew sympathized with the child, and had tried to help her.

Mrs. David Toll kindly provided the picture accompanying this article. Her father’s farm, the Prigmore claim, was directly east of the Falor claim, before each farm was broken up into smaller farms. After handling so many old pictures with no marks of identification, it was gratifying to find “Mrs. Falor and Carrie” written across the back of this print. Carrie later became Mrs. Edward Clyde. (A.P. Falor was the photographer. As early as 1871 he advertised his Eureka Photograph Gallery. According to my reckoning. Carrie was born in 1875, so the picture must have been taken about 1880.

     On December 27, 1884, the Weekly Times contained the following item. “News reached this office yesterday from Arcata of the sudden death on Sunday evening of Mrs. M.J. Falor. Deceased was one of the old settlers of Arcata Bottom, having arrived there with her husband and family about twenty years ago, and settled on the county road, near Mad River, where she resided up to the time of her death. A kind husband and family of grown-up children are left to mourn her loss. The cause of her death was supposed to be heart disease.” Her husband lived two more years, passing away in 1886. In addition to the children previously mentioned, there were two other sons, Milo Falor and Charles Falor. Of all the family, Pliney was the most familiar to readers of the Advocate. About 1891, he exchanged his share of the Alliance ranch with Charles Feulke, for the latter’s Maple Creek ranch. (Mrs. A.P. Falor was formerly Udella Smith of Arcata.) Many were the celebrations enjoyed by the neighbors at the Falor ranch at Maple Creek, and also enjoyed by many who read the accounts at the time and when reprinted in the column entitled “Blue Lake in Years Gone By.” “
