! Newspaper article which appeared probably in March of 1885 (article was not dated). EIGHTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY Last Sunday, the 8th Inst., Mrs. Rebecca W. McIntosh, who has been so long a resident in our midst, respected and beloved by all, passed her eighty-first birthday, and yesterday many of her relatives and friends assembled at her home, the Lone Tree Ranch, to honor the occasion. A little after eleven o'clock the guests began to arrive, until almost forty had assembled, most of them relatives or immediate descendants of the matriarch. There were present two of her brothers with their wives - L.H. and B.N. Helphentine, and one sister, Mrs. Jane Gilley. Mrs McIntosh is the mother of eleven children, six of whom are living. Of these six there were present, J.W. McIntosh with his wife, Mrs. G.F. Jones, Mrs. A.M. Barnard with her husband, L.H. McIntosh, and J.T. McIntosh with his wife. Her grandchildren number forty-seven, of whom thirty-four are living. There were present of these, J.W. McIntosh, G.F. Nourse, Mrs. E.T. Reynolds with her husband, T.H. Barnard with his wife, George Catey, Mrs. Georgia A. Jones, Miss Jennie McIntosh, and Miss Sidney Barnard. She has five great grand children, Sherman and Albert Reynolds, Miss Frankie Turner, Miss Annie Catey, and Miss Jennie Barnard, all of whom were present. Of her nieces one was present - Mrs J.F. Entler with her husband. Of friends there present, Mr. and Mrs. A.S. Barnard, Mrs. J.M. Ormsby and Rev. J.C. Simmons. Although Mrs. McIntosh is quite feeble, yet she experienced great pleasure from having her relatives and friends gathered about her. She was very sonerous that all should feel it a day of happiness. A beautiful repast was spread, and joy and gladness filled all hearts. When the feast was over she gathered her descendants about her and requested Dr. Simmons to read a portion of scripture and pray with and for them all. The doctor read the 90th Psalm, and then in an appropiate prayer asked the blessings of God upon this His handmaid who had served Him faithfully for so many years and who having passed her allotted time upon earth would soon be gathered to her fathers. He also prayed that their children, and children's children to the third generation that were gathered about her, and were "a crown of glory" to her in her old age should share the faith and blessings of Him who had sustained her through life and who according to his promise was now "in old age bearing her in his bosom." Deep emotions filled the hearts of all, and many felt that the benediction prayed for had fallen upon them. We extend our congratulations to this mother, and trust that when her sun goes down it may be amid splendors of christian triumph.

! THE PIONEER BANQUET (An undated news article from the Colusa Sun) About a month ago, Will S. Green, editor of the Colusa Sun, hit upon the idea of giving a private banquet at his residence, on Admission Day, to the pioneers of Colusa county of 1852. Invitations were accordingly sent out to all those who had been residents of the county in that year, and the result was the assembling of guests from all over the state last Wednesday, to partake of the hospitality of Mr. Green and to talk over old times together. About forty sat down at the table about four o'clock Wednesday afternoon. At the right hand of Mr. Green, in the post of honor, sat old Grandma McIntosh, who has lived to see numerous great grand-children, and who was one of the first settlers in this section of the state. Next to her sat General Bidwell. Among the guests were L.H. McIntosh, Mrs. Geo. F. Jones, and Mrs. A.M. Barnard of Chico, and W.C. Hendricks of Oroville; Judge Hultz of Yolo, and other prominent pioneers from various counties were also present. A magnificent banquet was spread before the guests, who spent two hours and a half in disposing of it, and in speech making. After dinner several hours more were passed in personal reminincences, and in recalling scenes and incidents in the early history of the county and state. Will S. Green delivered the address of welcome, and spoke very feelingly of the occasion, on which so many were gathered together who would probably never neet again. He spoke of the early times and of the trials they had all had to endure as pioneers, and traced with pride the improvements that had taken place under their eyes in the growth and development of the county and State. General Bidwell also delivered an eloquent address, which is said to have outdone any former effort of his. The speeches had to be cut short, and all did not have an opportunity to express themselves. The occasion, on the whole, was an enjoyable and yet a solemn one, and will long be remembered by those who were present. There was a short-hand reporter present to take down all the remarks, so that much interesting information, and many valuable reminiscences will thus be preserved for the future historian of the State. The host and his guests were serenaded during the evening by the Colusa Band, and it was not until late at night that this memorable assembage dispersed, never to meet again on this side of the tomb.
