    Notes 
    • "George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson. Frank Slosson's second daughter, who earned a doctor's degree, and now lives in an historic adobe.
      Jane was two years old when moved by her parents from Albert Lea to Colorado Springs. She was nine years old when they moved to California's San Gabriel Valley.
      In Monrovia's schools, Jane's scholastic record was outstanding. In only three years she completed the regulation four-year high school course. Then she earned her degree at the College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons.
      In college days she became acquainted with a young student leader, Ernest Bashor. Since World War I had started, afte receiving his degree Ernest became a first lieutenant in the Medical Corps. These school-day friends were married in onrovia on June 8, 1918.
      Ernest lived an active, helpful life, always in command of each undertaking, brightening difficulties with humorous anecdotes. A few of his attainments were: in the professional field he had been a founder and a membe of Monte Sano Hospital's board of directors; member of the board of directors of Blue Cross of Southern Californa; and a president of the Los Angeles City Health Commission. In fraternal affairs he was chairman of the endowment board for Masonic Homes. In the service club, Kiwanis he had been district governor and lieutenant-governor, and a trustee of Kiwanis International. He was a past president of the Breakfast Club, and had been commander of his American Legion Post.
      Of particular interest to Dr. Ernest was helping youngsters in need, as in the McKinley Home for Boys at San Dimas. The "Bashor Cottage" now stands there to honor the Bashors' help.....
      Early California history came into the Bashor's lives - in 1784 Jose Maria Verdugo was granted the San Rafael Rancho in what is now the Glendale area. Jose's blind daughter, Cataline Verdugo, lived in an adobe in a canyon where a gigantic oak grew. In more recent years, Dr. Bashor rescued that historic adobe from the subdivider's bulldozer. He then restored the adobe with park-like grounds around it, as the Bashors' family living place.
      Finally, after a long, busy life, on Marc 1, 1969, Dr. Ernest Bashor passed away at age seventy-seven. Now Jane, with her many friends and family members paying her pleasant visits, still lives in the Catalina Verdugo adobe.....
