More Beach....Myra Clothier in foreground. - Front Back of Postcard some of their time was spent in Larkspur/Corte Madera, that beach could very likely be Muir or Stinson. I lived in Mill Valley and Muir Woods, and had friends in Stinson Beach, so the lay of the land in the pics is familiar. Only other place I could think of is Pt. Reyes/Olema.

Brian Next To Birds Landing Historical Landmark Plaque, California - 2008 Mrs. Clothier (Anna) was widowed, and though I don't know when it happened possibly before 1912 or 14. He was a farm laborer in Montezuma in 1900, boarding with Walter and Mary Bird....they must have been related to these folks on the plaque. Btw, Albert and Anna Wood Clothier were married around 1880. I don't know yet how Albert died; maybe a farming accident.
San Francisco Pan Pacific International Exposition 1915 - Front Back of Postcard The card is from a lady named Emma Thiel. There are a couple others which she signs 'Auntie' or 'Aunt Emma Thiel'. Unknown whether she was related,or a guardian whom they callled 'Auntie'. She writes,"I guess you children can get out to play these nice days. I mean with Mr Y. {Mr Young?} No rough house in the house these days. With lots of love from Emma Thiel."
Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Cal. - Front Back of Postcard Expo souvenir from a pretty steady pen pal named Evelyn Snyder, and as you see, she even gives her address on Steiner in the City. Evelyn writes : ' Dear Helen:- I arrive in S.F. at 2 o'clock this P.M. Can you meet me at the 'Tower of Jewels' at ten or half past on Wednesday We are going to the 'Zone' this evening. Please excuse this writing. Evelyn'

The writer is another loyal friend, Esther Falquist,
whose brother Roy is also a friend of Helen. I looked them up and have some
stats on them. Note that at this time, 1910, Helen's in Walnut Grove, where
Mom's teaching school. Esther says: Dear Helen: How did you enjoy yourself last
Friday night. Please write me a long letter and tell me all about it. And
please write it soon. When is the next big time going to be. I guess it's pretty down there now,
everything green. The houses and streets don't change color up here. How is everybody. I hope you
are all well now. Give my regards to your mother. Love from Esther.
Helen's 15 at this point.

Postcard from Irene
Gallagher. Sausalito 4/10/14
Dear
Helen:
Just my Easter Greeting to let you know I'm still alive and attending
T.U.H.S. The Senior English Class is going to give a play entitled " Cranford "next month. We have been practising (sp) since January for it. On the 28th of
March Arthur Walters gave a senior party at his home in Crte
Madera & we had a dandy time. I guess Dwight told you that I was going to
write to you. I asked him if you were still in Birds Landing
and intended to write some month (sic) ago. Space is scarce so I will have to
stop writing & save my news for a letter. As
Ever Your Friend Irene Gallagher.

September 1907 - Possibly Ernest Neville Young & Family He was born in Maine, lived in Montezuma, Solano County CA, and was 38 years old in the 1900 census. This dovetails with the fact that Mr. Clothier was a farm worker in Montezuma.
Clothier Family The 'Snowball Family' may be the only view I have of the Clothier family as a group. I believe we're seeing: Elwood, Helen, Myra and Edwin in front, with of course Albert and Anna behind. Location not indicated - possibly Mt Tam in one of those freak snow events.
