TRIMBLE'S CROSSING
Allen Trimble settled above Barham's in 1852, and built a hotel. A bridge was constructed of trees in 1850, on John Seaward's place by Henry Watson. This was used until 1853, when a better one was built and kept by Trimble as a toll bridge. This bridge was washed away in 1857. Another one was constructed one-half mile further up stream. The bridge was removed about ten years ago, and the site is now covered up with sediment. In 1853, when the old tree bridge was on Seaward's place, an opposition stage line used it as a crossing.

WARREN WATSON BACK FROM EUROPE
Mrs. Watson Will Remain in Paris to Study the French Language.
Warren M. Watson of the wholesale wine and liquor store of W. M. Watson & Co. has returned home after an absence of eighteen months in Europe. While abroad Mr. Watson was accompanied by his wife. They made a tour of France, Italy, Switzerland and the British Isles, making it a point to see almost everything that was worth seeing in the places they visited. Mrs. Watson has returned in the best of health and full of information as regards the places of interest in the old world. He finds that, during his absence, his business has been conducted in a capable manner by the young men in whose care he left it. Mr. Watson is one of the most persistent of foreign travelers resident in this city, and it is not at all improbable that, before many months, he may again betake himself of some part of Europe which thus far has escaped his attention. Mrs. Watson remains with her sister, Mrs. Reichmond, to finish her study of the French language.
QUIET WEDDING.
The wedding of Miss Mabel Dahl and Jack M. Reischman, both of this city, took place in San Rafael on Sunday, October 18, the ceremony being performed by Justice Magee.

Watson, father, mother and aunt of the groom and Mrs. Dahl, mother of the bride. They have the best wishes of their many friends.
RETURN HOME

WARREN WATSON AGAIN GOES AROUND WORLD
Warren Watson, the well-known wine man of this city, is to make another tour of the world. This will be the fourth time that he will have circled the globe. He will be accompanied by his wife. The passports, signed by Elihu Root, arrived today. Mr. and Mrs. Watson shall sail from San Francisco on the 27th of this month on the steamer Manchuria.

WARREN WATSON IS HONORED
APPOINTED ONE OF YOSEMITE COMMISSIONERS BY GOVERNOR PARDEE.
Warren W. Watson, who was, for so many years, in the wine trade in this city but who has retired from business, and who now spends his winters in San Francisco and his summers at his country home near Pleasanton, in this county, received his commission today from Governor Pardee as a member of the Board of Commissioners to manage the Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Big Tree Grove. The appointment has been made to fill the vacancy occasioned on the Board by the death of the late Hon. W. W. Foote, of this city. It is a coincidence that John H. O'Brien, formerly Mr. Watson's partner in business, held the position to which the latter has been appointed, for fourteen years. Mr. Watson is pleased with his official position, more especially because his preferment takes place on the eve of his departure with his wife on his fourth trip around the world.
CHARLES JURGENS.
Charles Jurgens, who is one of the oldest business men still active in the commercial life of Oakland, was born in Waldeck, Germany, January 3, 1844 In that country he was educated, pursuing his studies to the age of sixteen years, when, in 1860, he sailed for America. Landing in New York, he made his way to Michigan and remained in that state for three years, at the end of which time he started for California by way of the Isthmus route. Crossing the bay from San Francisco on the steamer Clinton, which then made daily trips between the two places, he settled in Oakland when the city consisted of but four business blocks and the streets were of deep sand. He engaged as a clerk in a grocery house in what was then called San Antonio and in 1868 embarked in business on his own account as proprietor of a grocery store in Temescal, now known as North Oakland. After conducting the business for several years he sold out in 1876 and built the St. Johns House, the first brick business block on Twelfth street, having a plate-glass front and a basement. The people generally considered the innovation foolish. He then built the present Globe Hotel, at Thirteenth and Broadway, conducting it until recently, when he leased it.
In 1905 he bought out the W. M. Watson Company and called it the Winedale Company, of which he is the president. He is a director in many large banks and business establishments, has dealt extensively in real estate and is one of the very wealthy men of Alameda county. He is regarded as a very active, energetic business man, wide-awake to the conditions of trade and at all times alert and enterprising. Fraternally Mr. Jurgens is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and is popular in that organization. In 1870 he was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Springer, who passed away in 1913, leaving two sons and two daughters. Mr. Jurgens has witnessed and helped in the growth of Oakland and he marks as epochs in the city’s development: 1863, when the Southern Pacific built the Seventh street line; 1868, when the Overland Railroad was completed; 1876, Centennial year, when the city had a rapid and unusual growth; and 1906, when the city really awoke from a village to realize its true destiny.
WILLIAM C. JURGENS.
William C. Jurgens is secretary of the Winedale Company, controlling one of the largest wholesale and retail liquor houses in the county. He was born in Oakland [Temescal], California, January 13, 1873, and is a son of Charles Jurgens. Reared in his native city. the public schools afforded William C. Jurgens his preliminary educational opportunities. He passed through consecutive grades until graduated from the high school, in December, 1892. He next entered the University of California and was graduated in 1897. He subsequently had charge of the cooperative store at the university for five years, at the end of which time he and his father bought out the W. M. Watson Company, which they have since conducted under the firm name of the Winedale Company. Since that time William Jurgens has been secretary, and as such has been active in the control of a business which is growing along substantial lines. He is watchful of all indications concerning trade conditions, is energetic and determined in carrying out his plans, and as the years have passed on has achieved a measure of success which is the direct and merited reward of persistent, earnest effort.
In Oakland, on the 13th of January, 1911, Mr. Jurgens was united in marriage to Miss Gladys Thorpe. Fraternally he is connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He has never been a politician in the sense of office seeking, preferring to concentrate his energies upon his business affairs, which, capably directed, have brought to him substantial success. He has many friends in the city in which he has spent his entire life and attractive social qualities have made him popular among those with whom he is connected.

REISCHMAN'S MISSING WILL IN OWN GRAVE?
Question Is Raised by Judge During Controversy Over Estate.
Did the missing will of the late Matthew Reischman, of 2520 Linden street, go to his grave with him? This question was raised by Superior Judge E. C. Robinson today during a controversy between heirs of Reischman as to whether or not he had died intestate. Testimony showed that a search on the part of relatives had failed to disclose a will after the death of Reischman. Then one of the witnesses said that Reischman had been buried in his business suit, which had been hurriedly gathered up from where he had placed it when he fell ill. "Did you search the pockets?" asked Judge Robinson. Receiving a negative reply from the witness, Judge Robinson suggested that there might have been a will after all, and that it might have been buried with Reischman. Upon the question as to whether Reischman died with or without a will depends that as to whether his estate will go to his five-year-old grandson, or to his sister, Mrs. Margaret E. Watson. In a a document, presumably intended by Reischman as a will, in which he bequeathed his estate to Mrs. Watson, he left out mention of the grandson. Under the law this this invalidates the will, leaving the grandson as the heir-in-law.
Margarette Elizabeth "Maggie" (Watson) Watson died February 13, 1924, in France, at age 61.
