Feliciano and three companions were crossing the river on an improvised raft when it suddenly went to pieces, throwing the guardsmen into the water. Feliciano was swept away and Frank Berden would have suffered the same fate had it not been for William Moore, who managed to get Berden ashore and then went after Feliciano. He was unable to reach the struggling soldier and threw him a board hoping it would hold him up until he could reach him. But Feliciano was swept away and drowned. Lawrence Bisby, the fourth member of the party, managed to reach the shore in safety.”\r\n\r\nThe body of John Feliciano was recovered and returned to Watsonville; his funeral was held at the Christian Church with fellow members of Company L serving as pallbearers. Civil War veterans of the local R. L. McCook Post of the Grand Army of the Republic provided the guard of honor for Feliciano, whose remains were buried in the Watsonville Pioneer cemetery. \r\n\r\nWhen the Victory Byway Memorial obelisk was erected in Santa Cruz, the name \"Ferdinand\" accompanied his name rather than John.

At the time of his registration he was described as being single, of medium height and stature with light colored hair and light blue eyes. Ernest Fitch was part of the first draft contingency from Santa Cruz County, primarily made up of men between the ages of twenty-one to thirty-one. On September 22, 1917, the draftees boarded a train in Santa Cruz and were sent to Camp Lewis, Washington. \r\n\r\nUpon completion of basic training, Fitch was assigned to Company E, 4th Battalion of the 20th Engineers, located in the Washington, DC area for additional training and deployment to Europe. A unit history indicates that \r\n“Hikes, drills, fatigue duty, measles, mumps, changes of living quarters, extremely cold weather, and persistent rumors of departure marked the days of waiting for sailing orders, but a number of items of equipment were delayed, and Christmas came with no definite news. Finally the barrack bags were checked out, visitors were forbidden entrance to camp, and marched out of the University grounds at 12:30 A.M. on the morning of January 3, accompanied by a snowstorm.” \r\n\r\nPrivate Ernest Fitch did not accompany his departing comrades on January 3 because of illness and he died two days later. The cause of Fitch's death is not known; however, the measles and mumps outbreak mentioned in the unit history may have been contributing factors. His remains were interred in Arlington National Cemetery across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. \r\n\r\n(CAG; WWIDR; 20th Engineers, WWI 4th Btn 20th Engineer, http://www.20thengineers.com/ww1-bn04.html, [16 Sept 2008]); WRP October 8, 1918 4:3; USDVA)\r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After completing his education, he worked at a cement plant near his home as a craneman on a steam shovel. \r\n\r\nDesiring adventure, Cruts traveled through Canada and into the Western United States, finally settling in Santa Cruz, California. In Santa Cruz, Cruts worked on a dairy farm near Arana Gulch. When the dairy went out of business, he found work at the Portland Cement Plant in Davenport as a millwright. \r\n\r\nWith the outbreak of World War I, Irvin intended to enlist but chose to be drafted with his friends in order that they might remain together. Private Cruts who was described as short and stout with brown eyes and dark hair was sent to Camp Lewis, Washington, for training and then ordered to Camp Mills in Hempstead, New York, for over-seas assignment. While awaiting shipment to Europe in December 1917, Cruts visited home for the last time. \r\n\r\nUpon arrival in England Irvin wrote his mother indicating that he was feeling well except for a slight cold. When he reached France, that slight cold had developed into pneumonia and on January 15, 1918, Private Irvin I. Cruts was found dead. A newspaper reporter interviewed his mother in New Jersey and she shared a final touching message of his service life and death. \r\n\r\n\"I'm proud my brave boy was in the service of his country when he died. He was proud of his uniform. He loved his country, and he made himself a good soldier. He told me some of the men hated to be in the army, but he said he found it best to be cheerful, to do everything willingly, and to make the best of a rough life. When he was here in December, he said every American young man must prepare to do all in his power to make America win this war. He didn't grumble when he didn't get his pay on time, when he had to sleep in tents during the cold weather, and when he had short rations, as he often had in traveling and at certain camps. He was a soldier through and through and that's why he was sent abroad ahead of some who were drafted at the same time in Santa Cruz, California. I am sure they will bury him tenderly over there. I'd like him brought back home, but that may not be. He's there for America and that's some consolation.\" \r\n\r\nMrs. Cruts' \"Soldier Boy,\" Irvin, is buried in the Meuse- Argonne American Cemetery in Romagne, France.\r\n\r\n(WWIDR; ABMC; SCSn January 31, 1918 8:3)\r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Following his entry into the army on December 12, 1917, he volunteered for the Aviation Corps and was sent to Camp MacArthur in Waco, Texas, for training. \r\n\r\nSoon after Private Parker arrived at the camp, he developed a case of pleuro-pneumonia requiring hospitalization.

The army then made plans for his return to Santa Cruz for a month's medical furlough; however, his condition worsened before that could occur. On March 14, 1918, a nurse shared with him that his end was near and Parker merely replied, \"It is all right,\" and he passed without fear. \r\n\r\nOn March 22, 1918, family, friends, city officials and Civil War veterans from the Grand Army of the Republic were on hand to pay their respects to Clair at the First Methodist Church where he had been baptized.

The leaking fluids caught fire as they ran along the deck and enveloped the ship in flames which were not extinguished until late that night.”\r\n \r\nThe Navy department sent a telegram to his mother, Virginia Wood, on March 25 informing her that her son had been a victim of that explosion and that they were unable to recover his body.

The location where Fred Jr. spent his formative years has not been identified, nor has the date when he arrived in Santa Cruz. By 1917 his parents had divorced. His mother had remarried and moved to Santa Rosa; his father remained in Santa Cruz. In June 1917 Fred Jr. resided on Surfside Avenue in Santa Cruz and was employed as a \"woodsman\" by the F. A. Hihn Company on Soquel Creek. During this period he also became an active member in the Red Men fraternal organization.\r\n \r\nSeverance registered for the army draft but served in the navy. His draft registration records describe him as being tall and slender with blue eyes and brown hair. In 1917 Fred Severance Jr. joined the Navy rather than being inducted into the army and was assigned the rank of third class engineer. During his short naval career he received his basic training at Mare Island near Napa, California, and remained at that facility. Duty in Napa provided Fred with an opportunity to visit his mother in Santa Rosa and his father and a sister in Santa Cruz. \r\n\r\nIn early 1918 Severance contracted measles at the naval base and was hospitalized for a short period. Once his health returned he obtained a leave to travel to Santa Cruz to visit his sister, Mrs. Jordan. While enroute to Santa Cruz, Fred developed a chill that turned into pneumonia. His health continued to fail and on April 16, 1918, Third Class Engineer Fred Alonzo Severance Jr. died at the age of twenty-nine. Following a funeral, his remains were buried in Oakwood Memorial Park in Santa Cruz. \r\n\r\n(WWIDR; Santa Cruz County Burial Permits 1905-1938, Genealogical Society of Santa Cruz Cnty, 2001; SCSf April 16, 1918 2:4) \r\n\r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Young Herriott, along with brothers Charles and Clarence and sisters Grace and Mrs. Arthur March, arrived in Santa Cruz in November 1900, where their father became the pastor of a local Presbyterian Church. Paul was remembered as being a \"good boy, but not a 'goody-goody' boy,\" and was referred to as \"the playmate of many of the 'class one' young men.\" He entered Santa Cruz High School with the 1903 class but moved to Portland, Oregon during his senior year. \r\n\r\nAfter graduating from Portland Academy in 1904, he enrolled in the University of California at Berkeley where he majored in journalism, played on the football team and joined the Epsilon Psi fraternity. During his college years Paul was said to having done a little \"cow punching\" on the Miller and Lux cattle ranch. \r\n\r\nFollowing his graduation from UC Berkeley in 1908, the San Francisco Examiner employed Herriott as their Oakland reporter. Later, while working with the San Francisco Bulletin, Herriott joined the gubernatorial campaign team of H. W. Johnson. Governor Johnson was impressed with Paul's work and appointed him to the State Board of Control. When Johnson was elected to the US Senate, he took Paul with him to Washington, D.C., as his private secretary. \r\n\r\nIn 1918 Herriott resigned from Senator Johnson's staff, enlisted in the army aviation service and was assigned to a cadet-training program at Hicks Field in Fort Worth, Texas. On May 3, 1918, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported that \"Cadet Paul Herriott of Oakland and Lieut. James Ennis of New York were killed when their machine fell after a 'nose dive'. \" The accident occurred while the plane was flying about 150 feet off the ground at Hicks Flying Field, Herriott was scheduled to have received his commission within a few weeks of the crash. \r\n\r\nThe Santa Cruz Surf highlighted the career of Paul Herriott by noting that he \"was one of the coteries of young men who in recent years attained high positions in the government of California and was well known in nearly every city and town of the state.\" Paul Herriott is buried at the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California. \r\n\r\n(CAG; USCR, 1910; US Census, CA, Santa Cruz; SCSf May 2, 1918 1:3, May 8, 1918 3:1; SCSn May 3, 1918 1:3; San Francisco Chronicle May 3, 1918, pg 11)\r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
