William Carl Radloff -- A successful and enterprising rancher, liberal in his support of the movements for the progress of his adopted country and one of those who have done much towards advancing the standard of schools in this section of San Luis Obispo County, is William Carl Radloff, who was born in Prussia, Germany, January 15, 1867. His father died when the son was a babe, and afterward his mother brought him to this country and settled in Dodge county, Wis, in 1868. There he was raised on a farm and went to the public schools near Hartford.

Hi mother was married in Wisconsin, to Josiah Crowfoot, a native of England, who had settled in Dodge county.........[military service of Josiah].......
1884 Josiah Crowfoot brought his family to California, and for one year they lived near Oakland. In 1885, they came to San Luis Obispo County, located a homestead on Estrella plains and improved it. He [Josiah] died in 1909, and since then his widow [William's mother] continues to make her home on the ranch.

After the death of his step-father, Mr. Radloff operated the farm with success, renting more land and using modern machinery, so that he now has a Samson tractor, a combined harvester, and thirty-two head of horses. Besides doing his own cutting, he works in the neighborhood, cutting for others a thousand acres during the season. In 1903 he bought half a section eight miles from Paso Robles and has a well-equipped place, and farms adjoining land, having about one section under cultivation to grain.

Mr. Radloff was married in Reno, Nev., to Mrs.Carrie (Kalar) Dake, a native of West Virginia, who was also an early settler here. By her first marriage, Mrs. Radloff has one son Walter Radloff. He was engaged with his father in ranching and was educated in the grammar and high school in Paso Robles. The family are members of the Methodist Church in Estrella, of which Mr. Radloff is a trustee. He has served for fifteen years as trustee of the Estrella school district and has been clerk of the board for ten years, and in politics is a Progressive Republican. What success has come to Mr. Radloff has been of his own making, and has won a wide circle of friends since locating in the county.

Kudos to the photographer for trying. Having taken 10,000's of grave marker photos, the pink with black fleck granite is the worst to photograph and actually read.  However, if you zoom in, you can read it.

Obituary for William Raymond Kalar
Published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel on May 17, 1961
Funeral services for William Raymond Kalar will be conducted tomorrow at I p.m. in Whites chapel with Rev. Harry Hanson officiating. Private interment will follow in the Oakwood Memorial park.

Kalar, a native of Santa Cruz, died suddenly Monday in San Jose as he was returning from attending a baseball game at Candlestick Park. He had attended local schools and for several years worked in the Ebert's department store before he became associated with his uncle, the late Fred A. Bright in Bright's blacksmith shop.

He married the former Dorotha Ebert, who survives him, September 17, 1927. In 1936, he bought the blacksmith shop and renamed it the Kalar Blacksmith shop. The shop was at 325 Soquel avenue until redevelopment of the area caused it to be moved in 1958 to its present location at 324 River street. Kalar was an avid sportsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing, bowling and baseball. He lived at 120 Darwin street.

He also is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Joyce Nichols of Santa Cruz; a son, Darrel Kalar of Aptos; his mother, Mrs. Ruth Kalar of Santa Cruz, and three grandchildren.

He was a member of Santa Cruz Lodge 96, IOOF, and the Elks.

Obituary for Darrel Kalar, The Union, Nevada Co., CA, February 28, 2002
https://www.theunion.com/news/obituary-darrel-kalar/
Memorial services for Darrel R. Kalar of Grass Valley will be conducted at 11 a.m. Friday at Calvary Bible Church.

Mr. Kalar died Sunday, Feb. 24, at the University of California at Davis Medical Center after a short illness. He was 69.

He was self-employed in the machinery business in Santa Cruz for 47 years before retiring to Grass Valley in 1995. He enjoyed golfing, fishing, camping, and his family and friends.

He is survived by his wife, Jean Kalar of Grass Valley; sons Chris Kalar of Grass Valley and Mark Kalar of Colfax; granddaughter, Brook Kalar of Stuart, Fla.; sister and brother-in-law, Joyce and Dave Nichols of Bellingham, Wash.; and nephews Mike Nichols and Glenn Nichols, both of Bellingham.

  Mark Dale Kalar - b. Jul 29, 1947, Santa Cruz Co., CA;  May 9, 2014

When Mark was born, mother Jean was still married to Thomas E Glass.  In the Santa Cruz Sentinel, there is a birth announcement of the baby boy born July 29, 1947 to Mr and Mrs Thomas E Glass.  When you look in the CA Birth Index, there is no child with the last name of Glass born on this day.  However, when you enter the last name of Kalar, Mark Dale Kalar appears with mother's maiden name as Haskin.

Mark also shows up in the City Directories living at 148 Seaside (one of the Kalar addresses).  Mark is also mentioned as Darrel's son in his obituary.  So unless the birth index is giving the wrong information, Darrel was Mark's father and he had a relationship with Jean while he was 15 years old.  Not impossible.  OR  Darrel adopted Mark and the name change is reflected in the birth index. 

As far as I could tell, Mark did not marry.  He spent some time in jail.  Found a couple of news articles that mentioned him being convicted and sent to jail for petty theft.

Obituary for Joyce K Nichols
Published in Bellingham Herald on Nov. 24, 2013
Joyce K. Nichols, of Bellingham, WA, peacefully passed away Tuesday, November 19, 2013 surrounded by family.

She was 76, born to Dortha Ebert and Raymond Kalar on September 10, 1937 in Santa Cruz, California.

She graduated from Santa Cruz High School in 1955 and shortly after met her husband to whom she married a year later. They moved to Bellingham in 1970 with their two boys where she started her career as a Receptionist in the chiropractic offices of both Dr. Ferry and Dr. Feurmeister until she retired.

She was an avid bowler on many leagues for many years with great friends. This is where she took the claim of the 10PIN.

After her retirement she and her husband traveled in their fifth wheel to visit friends and family along the West Coast. This gave her a chance to crochet and play cards with friends all while enjoying the outdoors. While at home she enjoyed bowling, baking, gardening and spending Friday nights at Deming Speedway where she could watch the sport she loved the most!

You always knew that when you stopped by to see her at home there was a full jar on M&M's on the piano and fresh baked goodies, especially chocolate chip cookies.

She is preceded in death by her parents, brother, and husband, David, of 49 years.

Survivors include sons: Mike (Lori) and Glenn (Tracy); three granddaughters: Dana (Sean) DeVries, Kara and Kim; grandson, Josh (Cassie); three great-granddaughters: Savannah, Jaydn; and Brooke; as well as many nieces and nephews. Joyce was well known by many and will be greatly missed!

The family would like to extend an invitation to join them Saturday, November 30th for services at Greenacres at 12pm, followed by a Celebration of Life at 2pm at the Deming Logging Show Museum.

  1910 - Census - Maude is still with husband Charles Ivins in San Luis Obispo.  Of note:  Look at the copy of the 1910 Census on the Family Search website.  It is much clearer than the ancestry.com copy.  It looks like Schuster was written in next to Maud's name.  This is not part of Maud's name!!!!  This was some type of note the census taker wrote down afterwards.  Note the darker ink.  It could be a cross street or something. It has nothing to do with Maud's name.  See 1910 Census sheet from the Family Search website.....
  1910 - 1915 - Divorces Charles Henry Ivins
  1915 - Charles Irvins marries Eleanor Nicola Iverson , March 16, 1915
  1917 - First husband C H Ivins is now married to Eleanor --? and living in San Francisco  (City directories and WWI Registration.)
  1937 - Social Security records indicate Maude's reported name was Maude Della Loomis, Feb 1937
  1950 - Maude Loomis living in San Francisco according to brother's obituary
