10410 United States Marine Corps Private First Class Mutschler was killed in action in the Vietnam War. John was wounded at Mutters Ridge on 10 August 1969. His Mortar Platoon was attached to Echo Company,2nd Battalion,3rd Marines.3rd Platoon of Echo Co and the Mortar Platoon had 22 Marines killed and 58 wounded. John died of his wounds on 19 August 1969.

John is honored on the Vietnam Memorial Wall 19W071.

Silver Star awarded for actions during the Vietnam War

The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private First Class John L. Mutschler (MCSN: 2484069), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as an 81-mm. Mortar Gunner with Headquarters and Service Company, Second Battalion, Third Marines, THIRD Marine Division (Rein.), FMF, in connection with combat operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. Early on the morning of 10 August 1969, during Operation IDAHO CANYON, the Company E defensive perimeter approximately eight miles northwest of Vandegrift Combat Base came under intense mortar, rocket propelled grenade, and small arms fire from an estimated North Vietnamese Army company, followed by a determined ground attack. When his unit's sector of the perimeter was penetrated during the initial assault and the enemy began to sweep across his platoon's position in waves, the Marines rapidly maneuvered to alternate defensive positions in order to re-establish their perimeter. This move resulted in several of the Marine casualties remaining in dangerously exposed positions and in the open in the front of the newly established perimeter. With complete disregard for his own safety, Private First Class Mutschler unhesitatingly left the relative safety of his fighting hole within the newly established perimeter and fearlessly dashed across the fire-swept terrain through the enemy ranks firing his rifle, and killed several North Vietnamese soldiers before reaching the side of one of his fallen comrades. Forced to abandon his weapon in order to carry the wounded Marine, he resolutely moved toward the perimeter but was seriously wounded by fragments from an enemy mortar round. Ignoring his own painful injuries, he continued to carry the wounded man across the dangerous area until he reached a covered position. Undaunted by the vicious fire fight around him, he braved the North Vietnamese fire to rescue two additional casualties and was wounded for the second time. While moving across the fire-swept terrain in a fourth attempt to rescue a fallen Marine, he was critically wounded by fragments from an exploding enemy round and rendered incapable of continuing his selfless mission, By his courage, bold initiative and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of great personal danger, Private First Class Mutschler inspired all who observed him and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service.

Elvenia J. Slosson Endowment for Ornamental Horticulture

Elvenia J. Slosson spent much of her life promoting the enhancement of landscapes, botanical gardens, arboreta, and the introduction and use of ornamental plants in beautifying highways and the landscape.

She founded and served as the first president of the California Garden Clubs and continually encouraged individuals and local groups to work for the enhancement of both public and private outdoor environments.

When Mrs. Slosson died in 1958, she left a gift in trust to the University of California to be used "for the advancement and promotion of the science and practice of horticulture, particularly including ornamental horticulture."

In 1970, the Regents of the University of California established the Elvenia J. Slosson Endowment Fund for the support of research and Extension education in ornamental horticulture. The annual income from the fund was assigned by the Office of the Vice President, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, to fund research and education projects by University researchers and staff. Research and education proposals were solicited annually and evaluated and selected through a competitive review process by an advisory committee consisting of representatives from University of California campuses, Cooperative Extension and the California Garden Clubs. The Advisory Committee recommended to the Office of the Vice President, DANR, those proposals it believed met the purposes of the fund and the quality expected by the University. Grants were awarded for one to three years, contingent upon satisfactory progress as judged by the Advisory Committee.

Severe budget shortfalls in 2009 forced the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources to redirect Slosson Endowment income to retain critical programs and personnel involved in ornamental horticulture education and outreach.

This website remains as an archive of the diverse research and educational projects undertaken in Mrs. Slosson's name that have deepened and broadened the people of California's knowledge of ornamental horticulture.

E.J. SLAWSON DIES;
SALESMAN 60 YEARS

Frank J. (Skip) Slawson, 91, formerly of 21 Springate St., a salesman for 60 years with Bowers Brothers, Inc. until he retired in 1950, died yesterday in the Masonic Home.
Mr. Slawson became a familiar figure to Uticans and to people on his sales routes through the white flower that he wore on his lapel each day for 56 years. The custom began when he was making a sales call in Norwich and the late Edward F. Quinn, a florist there, stuck a carnation in his buttonhole. From then on, Mr. Slawson wore some kind of white flower each day.
Born in Whitesboro, he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard F. Slawson. Slawson Sr. was an undertaker in Utica for many years.
He came with his family to Utica when he was eight and sold the old Saturday Globe to such prominent people as Senator roscoe Conkling, Thomas E. Kinney and Judge P.F. Bulger.
Mr. Slawson was active in athletics as a youth and played baseball with the Ninth Ward Regulars as catcher. He also played on the Utica Free Academy football team. He was graduated from that school in 1886, as one of the youngest members of his class.
Mr. Slawson had been associated with Bowers Brothers since the firm was established by the brothers at 219 Columbia St. It is now located on the Truck Route 5 A.
Mr. Slawson was also known as a speaker and writer on a variety of subjects.
He was a member of Tabernacle Baptist Church, Oriental Lodge. F & AM.
He married Marion E. Hyde in 1896, in Utica. She died in 1945.
He leaves a son Howard H. Slawson, New Hartford.
The funeral will be at 10 Monday from the Lankton, Townsend & Cronk Funeral Home, with the Rev. John U. Miller, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, officiating. Burial will be in Forest Hill Cemetery.
Calling hours are from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 today and tomorrow at the funeral home. 
SLAWSON, Frank Jesse (I51372)
 
10444 V.D. Thurston was born Aug. 13, 1818, in Erie county, New York, son of Thomas and Electa (Wilcox) Thurston; was educated in the schools of the district, labored on the farm, served three years of mercantile life, and returning to the old homestead remained there until the immigration of the family westward in September, 1850.

The year of his arrival in this county he located on a farm of 500 acres in this tp. In 1852 his present dwelling was completed, and since that period he has continued to reside there. Mrs. Thurston died May 25, 1864. Her sons were educated in the schools of Jackson and Grass Lake. In 1867 Mr. T., married Harriet Peckham, a native of Monroe county, New York. In political matters he is not ambitious, yet the people of the twp. conferred upon him important offices. THURSTON, Voltaire Daniel (I9056)
 
10445 Valdemar II (1170?1241), called Valdemar the Conqueror or Valdemar the Victorious (Valdemar Sejr), was the King of Denmark from 1202 until 1241. The nickname Sejr is a later invention and was not used during the King's own lifetime.

He was the second son of King Valdemar I and Sophia of Polotsk, a Varangian princess. In 1202, Valdemar II succeeded his childless elder brother Canute VI after serving him for years. He is counted among the greatest of medieval Danish kings. In 1204 he secured the recognition of Norway as a kingdom. In the 1210s he began to expand Danish influence in the crusade against the last remaining pagan tribes on the opposite shores of the Baltic Sea. His greatest achievement was the subjugation of the northern Estonians after the decisive Battle of Lyndanisse which took place near Lyndanisse (Tallinn) on June 15, 1219. According to legend a red cloth with a white cross fell from the sky during the battle, and from this day on that symbol, called the Dannebrog, has been the Danish flag.

Since 1912, June 15 has officially been called Valdemarsdag (Valdemar's Day). The date now belongs to the group of 33 Danish annual Flag Days where Dannebrog is raised in celebration.

Denmark was at the height of its power but in 1223 Valdemar was captured by his vassal, the Count of Schwerin, who released him in 1226 only on the condition that Valdemar gave up most of his conquests in north Germany.

In 1227 Valdemar invaded northern Germany in an attempt to regain his lost territories but was disastrously defeated in the Battle of Bornhˆved on (July 22, 1227). This defeat marked the end of Danish domination of the southern Baltic sea, but Estonia was preserved.

Valdemar spent the remainder of his life codifying the law which was completed shortly before his death - Code of Jutland (Jyske Lov, see also Codex Holmiensis).

By his brief first marriage to Margarethe of Bohemia, also known as Queen Dagmar, he had a son, Valdemar, whom he elevated as co-king, but who predeceased him.

After Margaret's death, Valdemar married Bereng·ria of Portugal, daughter of King Sancho I of Portugal. They had three sons, Eric IV of Denmark, Abel of Denmark, and Christopher I of Denmark, and a daughter, Sophie.

Valdemar's two queens play an outstanding role in Danish ballads and myths - Dagmar as the soft, pious and popular ideal wife and Bereng·ria as the beautiful and haughty woman ? but both versions are incapable of proof.

Before his first marriage Valdemar had been engaged to Rixa of Bavaria, daughter of the Duke of Saxony.

King Valdemar also had at least two bastard sons, Canute (Knud) whom he elevated as Duke of Reval (Estonia), Lolland, and Blekinge, born of a noblewoman, Helena Guttormsdotter, of Swedish birth and wife of an important Danish nobleman, and Nicolas (Niels) whom he elevated as Count of Halland.

Because of his position as ?the king of Dannebrog? and as a legislator, Valdemar enjoys a central position in Danish history. To posterity the civil wars and dissolution that followed his death made him appear to be the last king of a golden age.
