Hiram CoreyPop-up Pedigree Note: Person Source Note*: Hiram Corey was once described as a 'self made man in every sense ofthe word and a typical farmer. He has carved his way to a positionamong California's most successful businessmen by his inherentindustry thrift and perseverance.' Another of his contemporaries described Mr. Corey as a 'man of fewwords genial and with a high sense of honor. 'He had a reputation forintegrity honesty and reliability. Born to Reuben and Melinda Corey on Month 2, 1831, in StanbridgeQuebec, Canada, Mr. Corey was the fourth of 11 children, ten of whomgrew so maturity. His parents had moved to Canada from New Yorkseveral years before Hiram's birth. It was in Canada, at the familyfarm that they raised Hiram with his sisters and brothers. Hiram Corey and his brother, Noah, worked for the railroad in Canada awhile before leaving the country in 1851 to come so the United StatesAfter traveling around the Isthmus, they arrived in California inFebruary 1852 The brothers settled first in Marin County, where theyengaged in lumbering Soon they leased a ranch and began supplyingvegetables to the state prison It was during an 1853 journey to SanFrancisco to buy provisions that the two men had a fantastic seaadventure The brothers had chartered a schooner for the voyage from Corte Maderaso San Francisco. It was smooth soiling as far as Alcatraz Island.Then the wind died, and the schooner began drifting toward the GoldenGate. An ebb caught the vessel and corned it out to sea. The two youngmen were adrift on the ocean for three days without food or water. Onthe second day Hiram found a few kernels of corn in his pocket he hadput there after feeding the chickens on the morning they departed ontheir perilous journey. Sharing them with his brother, they managed tostay their pangs of hunger. On the third day a shift in the wind blew them towards land. Aboutmidnight the boat was thrown on a shelving rock where the two menseized their blankets and jumped to safety, leaving the boat to bedashed against the rocks on the very next wave The two men eventuallyreached a United States Coast Survey camp, where they took refuge fora week After another week of bad weather end dense fogs the brothers,accompanied by the head surveyor and his assistant, walked toSausalito. Noah and the surveyors boarded a ferry to San Francisco,while Hiram chose to walk hone to Corte Madera. In 1872 Hiram moved to Monterey County where he leased the 8444 acreRancho Buena Vista from Lambert Cohn for five years. He renewed thelease, and continued to operate the land as a stock ranch until 1883,when he purchased it for $110,000 Hiram Corey's operation was known asone of the best dairy ranches in the state. He reportedly brought hisfirst dairy cows from Nevada, and soon had a herd numberingapproximately 500 cows. Mr. Corey sold the ranch in 1889 to the Buena Vista Land Company, for$30 an acre, and the land was subdivided into 146 lots. Two yearslater, he acquired approximately 1,600 acres, now known as the LasPalmas Ranch, for a cost of $32,115. During a visit to his mother's native state of Vermont in 1854 Mr.Corey met and married Rose Frost Although the couple had no childrenof their own, they took in the four children of his sister, Sarah,following her death in 1870. At the time, the children's father,Charles Littlefield, agreed that the Coreys would raise the childrenas their own. This agreement would lead to legal complications yearslater in 1913, when Hiram Corey died. Working with Carlton Bassett, a Salinas architect and also a Coreyrelative, the Corey's designed their elegant 20 room mansion on RiverRoad The Corey House was completed in 1891 According to J.M. Guinnwriting in 'A History and Biographical Record of Monterey and SonBenito Counties.' 'The Corey House is a model farm house in every way.It stands in a sheltered canyon and is known fur and wide for thehospitality shown by its owners' Rose Frost Corey died March 9, 1900. She was credited with helping herhusband 1900 in his many endeavors. Ten years after the Corey House was built, it had a new mistress. OnMay 24. 1901, at the age of 70, Hiram Corey married Mrs. FrancesElfreda Eade Johnson, Freda, as she was known to her family: hadarrived at the Corey House with Emily Pearl, her daughter by a formermarriage, several months earlier after being hired as a housekeeper. As one story goes… Mr. Corey met Mrs. Johnson and her sister. GraceEade, at the train depot. While descending from the train, Mrs.Johnson's leg was revealed Hiram liking what he saw a short lime laterasked his newly hired housekeeper to become his wife. Mrs. Preda Lade Corey was the seventh child born to Joseph Eade andSarah Jane Nattrass Eade. One of 14 children born to the couple. As a widow having just turned 3O the previous October, and with ayoung child to support, Mrs. Johnson asked her father's adviceregarding Mr. Corey's proposal of marriage. Joseph Eade, who wasseveral months younger than Corey, pointed out to his daughter thatCorey could provide her and her daughter Pearl with many moreadvantages than the could on her own, Both Mrs. Freda Corey's grandson, James E. 'Ned' Harrold, Jr. of SanFrancisco, and her niece. Mrs. Eileen Bray Davis at King City; recallthat they never heard her refer to her husband as anything but Mr.Corey. Grandmother always spoke of him in the third person is with thegreatest fondness and respect as was the custom of the Victorian eraMr. Harrold said In her King City home, Mrs. Davis has the Birdseye maple bedroom setfrom the master bedroom at the Corey House. 'It was in that morn thatAunt Freda told my mother Mary Ann and Aunt Grace about Mr. Corey'sproposal of marriage,' she relates. 'I acquired the bedroom setbecause whenever Aunt Freda didn't want a piece of furniture, shewould give it to my mother.' 'I remember what a lady Aunt Freda was…an aristocratic lady,' Mrs.Davis said. Mrs. Davis recalled visiting her aunt at her Palo Alto home as achild, and wondering how the maid always knew exactly when to enterthe dining room to clear the dishes from a dinner course. 'One day Iasked Aunt Freda, how does that lady know just when to comes in? AuntFreda took me to her place at the table and showed me the button onthe floor that she pressed to summon the maid.' Corey house was described as one of the finest and most comfortablerural houses in the entire state, a showplace of comfortable, elegantrural living. 'It's surroundings are picturesque and the residence grand in it'sarchitectural proportions, substantial in construction and elegant inarrangement, both within and without,' as written by H.D. Borrow. Constructed of redwood in the Queen Anne style, the house isasymmetrical in composition, with both gabled and hipped roofs.Surface texture, including fish scale shingling, provides the chiefdecorative touch. Squared bays have half timbering all around. Acarriage house as the rear of the main house repeats the surfacetreatments and textures. Inside, the house was furnished in the more formal style of the day: Avisit to the Place of Versailles by the Coreys in 1889 served asinspiration for the furnishing of Corey House. Before her death in March of 1988, Augusta Corey Harrold, daughter ofMr. And Mrs. Corey, recalled that the parlor was often called the GoldRoom, and was furnished with gold satin and velvet furniture, goldsatin draperies and French lace curtains. Guests entering the house were shown into a parlor at the left of theentryway; Augusta began her piano studies as a child, practicing onthe piano in the music room to the right of the entrance. In theLibrary, Mr. Corey enjoyed reading this collection of books byAmerican and European authors, as well as the works by Alex Dumas,memoirs of the courts of Europe, George Eliot and Shakespeare. A grand stairway led to the upstairs bedrooms that opened off aspacious hallway. Front the rear of the second floor, Augusta couldclimb the narrow stairway to their attic playroom.. During a visit tothe Corey House in 1981, her son, James E. Harrold, Jr., was shownwhere his mother had written her name in a childish crayon scrawl onthe attic wall. For Augusta Corey and numerous of her cousins, the Corey House was afun place to play. There were basements, the attic, the back stairs,the front stairs, and 20 rooms in which to play hide-and-seek. The houses were always staffed with a cook, a maid, and at times withan upstairs maid. There also were three gardeners and a chauffeur. Acoachman was part of the staff up until 1910. Augusta, however, wasalways more impressed by the barn and stables than by the house,according to letters she wrote prior to their death. 'Ever since I was a child, I admired the stables far more than thehouse. The line of the building, the spacing of the narrowwindows…the cupola on the top of the roof, and the color…a rose beigepaint, with dark brown trim,' she wrote in a letter dated 1980. Mr. Corey had expanded his house-breeding hobby into a very profitableventure at Las Palmas Ranch. The house his top breeding animals, hebuilt the redwood stables on a broad scale and elegantly equipped themwith the latest improvements of the time. Mr. Hiram Corey died in 1913. Two years later, Mrs. Corey, with herdaughters, Pearl and Augusta, moved form the River Road mansion toPalo Alto. Mr. Corey deeded his land to his wife and daughter inOctober of 1908, and that deed was recorded September 15, 1913, sixdays after his death. Although the Littlefield children, with the exception of brotherWarren, challenged the will of Mr. Corey, claiming that they wereentitled to a share of Cory's property, the matter was finally settledin August of 1918 with the court granting all the property to Mrs.Corey and Augusta.
