FROM THE BOOK "PORTERVILLE, CALIFORNIA GENEALOGIES WRITTEN BY INA H. STINER
IN 1934 WE LEARN THE FOLLOWING:
"Joel Wymore settled in Westfield near the Bonines. Mr. Parli planted about
1903 the Coleman orange grove adjoining the Henry groves, and later planted the
one near Scenic Hill, where they live. Mrs. Parli said that she expected in
coming to California that she was coming to the paradise of the world. But they
came from a church town in Nebraska; and here there was no Sunday law, and everybody
was working on Sunday. Porterville had 13 saloons (into which, it was true, only
men went in those days). Awful things happened. Her mother had a sewing room
upstairs in the Taylor Building, in the Jim McKinney days; from the window she
watched his funeral procession. Mr. and Mrs. Parli had to return to Nebraska
for awhile; and she said she did not want to come back to California, that such
a different life was not Paradise. M. Parli said, "We'll go back and help
put the saloons out." So she and Mrs. Smith took the horse and buggy and
the petition to get the anti-saloon measure on the ballot, and sought out every
man in the northeast part of the community. The churches all worked. The Rev.
Slaughter of the Baptist Church was back of the whole movement, and was always
after evil and bore all the scandal; and the saloons were after him. His being
knocked down by a saloon partisian named Berry caused the citizens to have a
mass meeting; even the Messenger, the daily paper, came out for the saloons.
The Davis Hall was packed at the meeting even though they did not know what
the saloon men might do. At the meeting they said they couldn't have a situation
when one of the pastors could be hit in the face. The next day forty men boycotted
the Messenger, going into the office one after another saying, "Cancel my
subscription." even though they had paid for a year. They said Mr. Ernest
White's face turned quite white, as he sat behind the desk. Moses Davidson put
up the money to start another paper, the Recorder. Some time later a man solicited
a Messenger subscription from Mrs. Parli, who told him "No, we paid a price
for the Recorder, and we will stay with it." On election day the ladies
gave a free dinner at the Pavilion to those who would put on a white badge with
the words, "No saloons for me," and vote that way. It was surprising
that certain men had had enough of the liquor traffic. All the ladies put up
for the dinner. Sam Vincent of the Pioneer Market furnished a ham to be baked
for his mother. Some of them lost some of their silver, which with the dishes
they had to bring; but "It was worth it," and the result a happy day.
("Yet, " Mrs. Parli added, "We never locked a house in those
days.") **Data from Mrs. Claude Bradley***
