Early Days of Vallejo Early Days of Vallejo
1943

This little amount of "Early Days" has not a great deal of literary merit nor is it of particular interest to anyone coming to Vallejo during the past few years, but it is an accurate picture of the town itself in the 40s, 50s and also from information he derived from family, friends and members of the old Hook and Ladder Co.

Memorial Days In Vallejo / Wichels, Ernest [802] [WICHELS-1964-802]
Decoration Day was made a fixed celebration on May 5, 1868, when Commander-in-Chief John A.

Some 15 years later the G.A.R. asked that the name of this annual observance be changed to "Memorial Day," but here in 1964-about 80 years later-we still find many old timers calling it "Decoration Day."
