Local People at Soldiers' Home

[C.J. Todd Tells of Santa Cruz People Among the Old Veterans- Ed. Sentinel]

"Most every day I see French (Dutch) Pete, Grover Company's old mule skinner holding down a bench under a shady tree. He is very fat and frequently falls from dizziness. He chews tobacco, drinks a little, and attends the Mission and tells his experience most every night. Old soldiers must have some amusement, and while they are doing these things they're not doing worse."
