At the moment, I am searching for the proverbial needle in the haystack. There was the retrieval of three Banker Boxes from storage that consisted of Lassen County archives that I retrieved in 1980 from going to the dumpster. The majority of the records are the original papers of the meetings of the Lassen County Board of Supervisors for the years 1911-1919. Of course, there are exceptions and there documents from the 1920s to 1940.
At the moment, I have two stacks of documents. The first, will be scanned and and I have the information surrounding them to share. They are quite interesting involving a variety of topics that are no longer before the supervisors. The second is same, but those topics I have to research further.

Looks like Joe fudged a bit on his age to buy the pistol. He was born on Nov 3, 1918 in Dayton Idaho which would have made him 20 years old at the time. His father James P Morrison was a farmer in Dayton and by 1940 Joe was back on the farm. He was then drafted into the Navy during WWII.
He did live at 412 Delwood St, Westwood and worked for Vern Ricketts while in Westwood.
