  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.
