WORTHINGTON PARSONS
Ever since becoming a resident of the Salinas valley, Monterey
county, in the year 1875, Mr. Parsons has been deeply interested
in the material up building of the region and in many ways has
promoted local progress. Both as a rancher in the county and as
a citizen of Salinas he has accomplished much to promote the
advancement of agricultural and commercial enterprises, but in
nothing that he has undertaken has he met with greater success
than in the breeding and raising of fine trotting stock, a
business which he has followed exclusively since 1904, and which
has won him the reputation of being an expert in this line,
equaled by few and exceeded by none in this part of the state.
A descendant of ancestors who for generations had been
identified with the south, Worthington Parsons was also a native
of that section of country, his birth occurring near St.
George, Tucker county, W. Va., December 29, 1852. His earliest
recollections are of the home farm in that vicinity, where
during his boyhood be enjoyed the care-free life which the
circumstances of his parents made possible. This was destined to
be of short duration, however, for when he was eight years old
his first sorrow came to him in the death of his mother. Six
years later he was deprived of the companionship and guidance of
his father, and thus at a time when the average child is
enjoying the freedom from care and responsibility he took up the
burden of carrying on the home farm which the death of his
father laid upon his young shoulders. |
However, he had
inherited qualities which enabled him to surmount difficulties
and take an optimistic view of life and he courageously
undertook the tasks which lay before him. The education which
had been begun in the schools adjacent to his home he completed
by a well-planned course of home study, to the end that he is
now one of the best informed men in his community. Aside from
his management of the home farm his first business venture was
as a lumberman, and for two years he was also employed in a
grist-mill.
The desire for a broader outlook and larger field for operation
brought Mr. Parsons to California in the year 1875, at which
time he came direct to the Salinas valley, and securing work on
a ranch he remained with his employer for eight years. During
this time he gained an invaluable insight into the methods of
farming in the west and he also laid by a neat sum of money with
which to establish an enterprise of his own. Investing in horses
and machinery necessary in the maintenance of a well-equipped
ranch, he located on a choice piece of property in the valley
and in the years which followed he increased his holdings as his
means permitted, and at the time of disposing of his ranch in
1904 he had twelve hundred acres, all under cultivation.
After disposing of his ranch interests Mr. Parsons established
his home in Salinas and concentrated his efforts in a line of
endeavor which he had followed to some extent in connection with
his general ranch enterprise, the breeding of fast trotting
horses. On coming to Salinas he sold all of his horses with the
exception of Albert Mack, a yearling, and one fast mare, Bertie
Mack, then a two-year-old, which in the meantime has gained a
record for speed which has made her famous. On August 19, 1908,
at Chico, she trotted a mile in 2:08, making the fastest time
from one to five heats of any trotter ever raced west of the
Rocky
(pg 448)
mountains, and during the years 1907 and 1908 was the largest
money winner on the Pacific coast. She held the record for
trotting the fastest mile on the following tracks : Chico,
Sacramento, Spokane and Portland, and in two years she earned in
purses over $11,000. Mr. Parsons sold this valuable mare on
February 18, 1909, to C. K. G. Billings, of Cleveland, Ohio, for
$7,000, the latter taking her to Europe with other fast racing
horses, where she is maintaining the record which she gained in
this country. Mr. Parsons is still breeding and raising fine
racing stock and now has four of the fastest horses on the
coast. Albert Mack, a six-year-old bay stallion, with a record
of 2 :30, is a full brother to Bertie Mack; Berlock is a
two-year-old chestnut stallion, out of the dam of Bertie Mack by
Zolock, whose record is ?2 4 ; Merry Widow is a chestnut filly,
two years old, by Albert Mack, whose record was 2 130 ; and
Merry Mack is a one-year-old chestnut stallion, the fastest
yearling that Mr. Parsons ever owned or saw trot. All of the
horses just mentioned took first prizes in their respective
class at the county fair held in Salinas in August, 1909.
Mr. Parsons was united in marriage in 1874 with Miss Annie
Wilmoth, also a native of St. George, Tucker county, W. Va., and
three daughters have been born to them as follows : Dorcas, the
wife of W. H. Rowling, a commercial traveler with headquarters
in San Francisco; Alida, who became the wife of Duncan F.
McKinnon, a well-known rancher in the Salinas valley ; and
Nellie, the wife of Elmer McKinnon, also a rancher in the
valley. Having devoted his attention closely to his business
affairs and his leisure hours to the enjoyment of his home Mr.
Parsons has not been active in social orders or politics, the
only organization with which he is identified being the
Fraternal Brotherhood. |

Obituary for James Edward Adam

Accessed Mar 10, 2021 |

On December
21, surrounded by family, Jim Adam passed away after a
three-year battle with Melanoma. As the day when
darkness gives way to light, Winter Solstice was a
fitting symbol for Jim, who always inspired those around
him to "Live in the Light."
Born in Topeka, Kansas, Jim traveled all of his life. He
called Del Rio, TX; Sacramento, CA; Oahu, HA; and
Zurich, Switzerland home, eventually settling in Palo
Alto, CA, then San Juan Bautista, CA. |
In 1978, at age 19, Jim met the love
of his life, Tami. With his trademark confidence and passion,
Jim knew at first sight that she would be the mother of his
children. Jim married Tami on August 13, 1983, and they began
their family. Jim's biggest passion was his family, and he was
enormously proud of each and every one of them.
Jim had many friends that were dear to his heart. His first and
best friends were his siblings, but Jim never took for granted
the close friendships that he cultivated over a lifetime. He
cherished the memories of their escapades together which brought
him endless joy and laughter.
Jim worked in construction for over 44 years. His
entrepreneurial spirit led him to start his first business, Adam
Paving. The lessons he learned there served him well when he
eventually became the President and owner of CalVac Paving. As a
lifelong learner, completed his AA in business well into an
already successful career. More recently, Jim completed
extensive training and was the first in his field to become a
Certified Access Specialist (CASp) in order to ensure access for
individuals with disabilities. He cared deeply for his
stakeholders and was committed to supporting and mentoring his
employees to reach their goals and full potential.
Jim was also passionate about his community. He coached AYSO,
CYSA, and YMCA teams, volunteered for the PTA and PTSA, and
supported organizations like Mission San Juan Bautista
Preservation Fund, Troops Direct, DreamPower Horsemanship,
Rotary of SJB, and the Faith Fight Finish Foundation. He also
supported the yearly philanthropic efforts of ACREM, BOMA, and
CityTeam, including Share Your Holidays. From building local
play structures, to installing the first internet connection at
Santa Rita Elementary, Jim always stepped up. His spirituality
ran deep and Jim loved being a Lector for the Mission at San
Juan Bautista.
Jim had a slew of other passions: traveling, building, fishing,
hunting, horsemanship, ranching, wine and viticulture, bourbon
and brewing, cooking, football, golf, soccer, and of course
humor. He loved to create, play, coach and compete.
Jim is deeply missed and survived by his wife Tamara Dawn Adam;
his children Danielle Elizabeth and Steven Daniel Tuhy, Fletcher
Goddard Adam, Joseph Louis Adam; his grandchildren Danika
Katherine, Jocelyn Joy, and Louis Steven Tuhy; his mother Betty
Adam; his siblings Peter and Donna Adam, Katherine Darville,
Nancy and Vincent Titone, Richard and Linda Adam, Daniel Adam,
Kim and Brian Jones, Mylie Greenbach, and Dan Greenbach; as well
as his beloved nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews,
his Aunt Gloria Kennett and his wonderful cousins. He was
preceded in death by his father Louis Adam, in laws Joseph and
Betty Greenbach, and siblings Michael Adam, Annette Adam, and
Jeffrey Greenbach.
The Adam family will hold a private Catholic Mass in Jim's honor
and encourages anyone interested to join them virtually. They
will invite everyone to a Celebration of Life once we can safely
gather in groups again. Please follow Jim's CaringBridge website
for further information.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Jim's most loved
charities: Mission San Juan Bautista Preservation Fund, Troops
Direct, Faith Fight Finish Foundation, or DreamPower
Horsemanship. |

To killed in spectacular head-on bridge
crash
Oakland Tribune, Nov 10, 1941, pg 15 |
Died in car accidents; Henry Sagehorn Jr., 21, 742 Walker
Avenue. Kay Medeiros, 21, 4639 Fairfax Avenue.
Sagehorn, a mechanical draftsman, was driving a party of friends
home after a dance in San Francisco Saturday night when his car
collided head-on on the bridge with an auto driven by James W.
Holley, 23, of 3042 Linden Street. The impact scattered debris
over a hundred feet of the traffic lanes and turned Holley's car
on its side. Sagehorn was killed instantly.
Riding in Sagehorn's car and injured were Miss Mary Jane
Hammerland, 18, 1130 Trestle Glen Road, a Mills College student;
Miss Jean Isman, 20, of 6 Scenic Drive, Piedmont; Miss Suzanne
Paramino, 20, of 42 Manor Drive, Piedmont; Wiley Burnett, 21, of
52 Manor Drive, and Ellis Connelly, 20, of 160 Nova Drive,
Piedmont. All had cuts, bruises and shock.
DIES OF INJURIES Medeiros was riding in the back seat of Holley
car and died of his injuries shortly after he was taken to
Mission Emergency Hospital in San Francisco. Also in Holley's
car were Jack Mountain, 19, 2016 27th Avenue, and Daniel Oiler,
22, a Mare Island Marine,
The accident happened 200 yards east of the tunnel on the
cantilever span off the bridge. Traffic from San Francisco
filled three full lanes at the time, and was backed up to San
Francisco approaches. Highway patrolmen re-routed westbound
traffic over the truck deck. |
