Santa Cruz Sentinel (March 11, 1911)

Latest Doing At Soldiers Home by C.J. Todd

Peter Mangels, "Old Pete," as he was familiarly known here, was buried March 8th. He was an old German and a very well known figure about the Home, having been here for many years. He claimed to have served in the army for over twenty-three years, having fought through the Crimean war before coming to America. He was a shoemaker by trade, and often talked to me about Frank de Cray, of Horsnyder's drug store, whom he declared he used to hold on his knee when Frank was a "wee bit of a baby".
