Notes:

"George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold Dye Slosson - Frank Slosson's third daughter was the leader in whose memory a tree was planted beside her church....
Glaydice was a Monrovia High School leader. After graduation she followed her cousin, Jean, in the public library work. Next she attended the University of California at Berkeley, where she received high grades.
Her older sister, Jane, had married a doctor, Ernest Bashor. In this way Glaydice became acquainted with Ernest's brother, Horace, who, although a medical student during World War I, had been a cadel flyer. A romance developed, and on June 11, 1921, at Pasadena, Glaydice and Horace were married. Two Slosson sisters married two Bashor brothers, both doctors.
Horace had attended the University of Idaho, where he had been a member of the football team. Later he received a degree from the College of Osteopathic Physicans and Surgeons, Los Angeles. Afterwards he had an extensive practice, with his office on Wilshire Boulevard's Miracle Mile, then a prestigious professional center.....
Not only did Dr. Horace Bashor, always poised and relaxed, know medicine and the anatomy of man, but he also knew their minds as well. Thus his wise counsel was valued by his patients; it helped them - sometimes even withoutsurgery or medicine - in their struggle to regain health.
Horace helped the church and social causes; he had fraternal connections, and was a member of Kiwanis. Glaydice heped him at that time, being, for example, a member of the Women's Osteopathic Auxiliary.
Glaydice and Horace had two boys, Robert and Philip....
But when their boys were grown, Dr. Horace passed away at the age of sixty-five. In his memory, Glaydice established the Dr. Horace Bashor Memorial Library in the Silverlake Presbyterian Church. She was thereafter active in that church, being ordained an elder in 1962.....
Meanwhile, she continued service elsewhere, being a member of the P.E.O. and the Los Feliz Women's Club. Also she had been chairman of the board of management of the Hollywood YWCA.
In 1967 Glaydice was a passenger on the "Queen Mary" on its final gtrip from England around the Horn to the Pacific Coast of America.....
Near the end of 1971, Glaydice had been particularly busy. She retired one night, passing away peacefully on December 4, 1971. She is buried at Forest Lawn beside her mate and companion of many years, Dr. Horace Bashor.

Glaydice married Horace Arthur BASHOR on 11 Jun 1921 in Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California. Horace was born on 05 Jun 1889 in Washington; died on 19 Feb 1955 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson - Frank Slosson's daughter, an artist and teacher, she was the mother ot twins - something new in the Slosson line....
Dorothy was a teacher. After graduation from Monrovia High School, she attended Pasadena's "Broadoaks," a well-considered school at that time. Her specialty was kindergarten work, and she had the patience and kindliness to properly start the little tots on their way through school....
From Monrovia, Dorothy went to Santa Paula, where she was a teacher. She made friends, joined a church, and helped out in community affairs.....Among the firends Dorothy made at that time was Clare Crawford. He was the son of Dr. John Crawford, pioneer Santa Paula physician and the first health official of that city. Clare was a citrus rancher, and, as it happened, had been a student at the University of Southern California where he had been a friend of the writer. The friendship of Dorothy and Clare ripened into a romance, and they were married on June 22, 1927.
The Crawford family started with twins, Donald and Dorothy. Next, they had another son, Jon....
But Dorothy had a critical illness, and after some time she passed away on August 2, 1961. After that, Clare remained close to the children, who were a great comfort to him....
Meanwhile, Clare, who had been in the Army Air Corps during World War I, joined the Pt. Hueneme Fire Department during World War II. As an old-timer in Santa Paula, he had many friends in his church and the local American Legion post. After being well past the biblical three score and ten, he too passed away on August 22, 1974.
Dorothy and Clare are buried together in the Santa Paula Cemetery.

Dorothy married Claire C. CRAWFORD on 22 Jun 1927 in Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California. Claire was born on 25 May 1899 in Missouri, USA; died on 22 Aug 1974 in Santa Paula, Ventura County, California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson - Frank Slosson's daughter Ruth, giver of gifts to the visitor, lived close by the Pacific Ocean, as had the early Slossons by the Atlantic Ocean.
In her early Colorado days - she was eleven when the family moved to california - Ruth had been of a slender build like her mother. A friendly girl, she was idolized by the next-door neighbors, the Trulls....
The neighborhood boys wre a rough lot, perhaps because some of their fathers were hard-rock miners in the nearby Cripple Creek gold camp. And when they had ensnared the writer (Harold Slosson) into their gang, it was Ruth who in a determined way had rescued her young brother fro the gaqng's domination.
After moving to Monrovia in 1903, Ruth entered the old Orange Avenue School. All classes from first through twelfth were then held in that one school. Going into the sixth grade at that time, Ruth in a sense broke ground for the other children who at intervals followed her up the grammer school ladder.
When Ruth reached sighteen, she became acquainted with a young mechanic Will E. Janicki, who then lived near downtown Los Angeles, where his folks were old-timers. Will owned a "flivver," as the Model-T Ford was then called. It was a fascination at that time, helping him, perhaps, in his courtship of Ruth. The two were united in marriage at Monrovia on June 6, 1910. They had one son, William E. Janicki, born December 18, 1923.
Will became a marine engineer. For a tmie he had a commercial boat used in trade along the lower California coast. he even went as far south as Panama. He was a good storyteller, too, men always being interested in his tales of Mexican ports, rough sailors, and stormy times out on the sea.
The Janickis had a pleasant retirement among friendly neighbors in North Long Beach. Ruth passed away Sept. 6, 1967, Will having passed away earlier in 1963. Both are buried at the Inglewood Cemetery, near Southwest Los Angeles.

Ruth married William E. JANICKI on 06 Jun 1910 in Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California. William was born on 06 Dec 1889; died on 18 Oct 1963 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"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.....

Jane married Ernest George BASHOR on 08 Jun 1918 in Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California. Ernest was born about 1892 in Idaho; died on 01 Mar 1969 in Glendale, Los Angeles County, California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
