Note: Since Grandpa James Mallon was always interested in railroads and probably gold as well, and DeVere was their first child, it doesn’t surprise me that Jacquelin (Nana) was surprised there at Chinese Camp with the birth of her first child. —Carol (Truman) Olson, granddaughter of James Frederick Mallon & Jacquelin Chatfield

Note: I think Nana would have gone to Basalt to comfort her mother (who’s husband Clark S. Chatfield, Sr. died on Mar 6, 1906) as well as to be with her to deliver Marjorie. —Carol (Truman) Olson, granddaughter of James Frederick Mallon & Jacquelin Chatfield

Miss Edna Truman was hostess at the luncheon at the home of her parents, at which Miss Mallon was the guest of honor.

They are planning to attend the University of California this year. Mr. Truman will continue his graduate work and Mrs. Truman will enter her senior year. She was formerly Miss Marjorie Mallon.

As I Was Told:
My younger brother Jim, being a boy, got to do better stuff we thought. But all three of us: me, Jim, and our cousin Jacqui Aubin (who was the same age as Jim) got to ride in the back of the pick-up with our uncle DeVere driving; we all stood up and sang loudly until we got bugs in our mouths and had to shut up. Oh, and I always wanted to drive the mules. I liked to be in charge, driving the mules and saying ‘Gee’ (hard G) ‘Haw.’ —Carol (Truman) Olson, daughter of Stanley and Marjorie Truman.

Jim Truman, Carol Truman, and cousin Jacqui Aubin:

James Mallon, Successful Rancher Dies in Orland
ORLAND, April 13—(AP)—James F. Mallon, 70, who is believed to have developed the first rice acreage in Colusa county, died yesterday of a heart ailment after being ill since December. Mallon started rice production near Princeton in 1904, later moving to Glenn county.
Mallon came to Willows in 1906 and became associated with the Sacramento Valley irrigation company, later becoming general superintendent and having complete charge of all construction work and operation of the irrigation system.
In 1911 he resigned his position with this company, and went into business for himself, organizing the Maxwell Irrigation District and later the Compton-Delevan Irrigation District, constructing two large pumping plants for taking water from the Sacramento river and a complete distributing system for the irrigation of several thousand acres in each district.
A little more than 20 years ago Mallon acquired a large stock ranch consisting of 6,600 acres west of Orland and has made his home there since 1930.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jacquelin Mallon; a son, James DeVere Mallon; two daughters, residing in Berkeley, and a brother Ed, of Colusa.
Funeral services will be held at the Orland Federated church, Saturday afternoon at 2:30.

Letter postmarked Sep 24, 1956: from Jacq Mallon to her new 3rd grandchild, born Sep 11, 1956, in care of her daughter of Carol:


As I Was Told: When my daughter Margot was born, Nana, Jacquelin Chatfield Mallon, sent me this letter (I love the handwriting). Nana was living at 79 Ross Circle with her daughter Neva, and I was in France with my then-husband, a Captain in the Air Force. Only recently did I realize she uses “lassie” to refer to Marguerite as she would have heard that from husband, Grandpa Mallon (JF), whose mother was born in Scotland. As it’s such a sweet letter that I’ve saved it all these years. Hope you enjoy reading it. —Carol (Truman) Olson, daughter of Stanley & Marjorie Truman, granddaughter of James Frederick Mallon & Jacquelin Chatfield.

Services Held for Mrs. J.F. Mallon
Graveside services were held this afternoon at the Graves Cemetery here for Mrs. Jacqueline C. Mallon, 78, who died in Oakland on December 7 after a prolonged illness. A native of Colorado, she had lived in Oakland for the past 20 years, since the death of her husband, James. F. Mallon. The Mallons, who had been longtime residents of Colusa, moved to Orland to take over what had been known as the Allen T. Moore ranch. The homesite is now part of the Black Butte Reservoir.
Mrs. Mallon was active in the Federated Church and in community social affairs during her residence here.
She was the mother of James D. Mallon of Orland, Mrs. Stanley R. Truman and Mrs. Neva M. Aubin of Oakland, and sister of Mrs. Marjorie Tuck, also of Oakland. She had four grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Mrs. Mallon was a member of the College Avenue United Presbyterian Church of Oakland.

1974: Marjorie Maxine (Mallon) Truman

As I Was Told:
Dad, Stanly Roosevelt Truman, was as much a photographer as a writer. He exhibited at the SF Museum of  Modern Art, and also in the American Museum in Bath, England and other venues. He was a general practitioner and part of a group who started the American Academy of General Practice (in our dining room which was under my bedroom, so I can attest to the excitement, and still use the table on which some of the men pounded.) Dad became the president and then president of the National Academy. I sent his books about this to the Academy. —Carol (Truman) Olson, daughter of Stanley and Marjorie Truman.

Marjorie Maxine (Mallon) Truman

As I Was Told:
My mother was kind and caring, gracious, friendly and generous. Having met someone new she would tell me, “I met the nicest person,” and I thought, yes, of course, you are so nice to others that everyone is nice to you. Sometimes she called me ‘Kitten’. She was respectful—called her mother-in-law Mother Truman. Mother was an elegant hostess, had an eye for beauty, created lovely flower arrangements with a hint of origami, and kept flowers in Dad’s office waiting room. She loved reading and was a member of a long-lasting book club. She did not forget her humble beginnings, and once told me she had taken her lunch to school in a Crisco can (she went on to graduate from U.C.Berkeley). When Mother played the piano, Jimmy and I loved to sit underneath and do the pedals. When leaving Mother and Dad, I picture them still each with one arm around the other and each with their free arms waving goodbye—two people, though one. —Carol (Truman) Olson, daughter of Stanley and Marjorie Truman.

As I Was Told:
Right now I’m enjoying my own musings and imaginations about these colorful relatives of mine. I remember Nana (Jacquelin Chatfield Mallon) used to tell us about lightning playing off the horns of the cattle! —Carol (Truman) Olson, daughter of Stanley & Marjorie Truman, granddaughter of James Frederick Mallon & Jacquelin Chatfield

Jun 2002: Stanley R. Truman, A Collection of His Writings, by Jacquelin (Aubin) Ewing
Stanley R. Truman
A collection of his writings
Forward
Stanley Truman lived a long, productive, involved life. He was deeply involved in service to his patients, his family, and his community. His observations and appreciation of his surroundings were most evident to us in his magnificent photographs of the natural world, and of the homely artifacts and structures of everyday life; a wave-washed shell on wind-combed sand, a rough-hewn barn door, a lonely, gnarled tree touched by a setting sun.
During the last two years of Stan’s life, I was fortunate enough to attend a writing class with him. He had joined the class with a purpose: to write about the things he experienced as a boy and young man, growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, in order to share his memories with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His power of recollection was keen and his descriptions of the minutiae of everyday life are exacting and evocative. He was a true observer of his twentieth-century world.

AN EVENING POEM
Should I go in?
I’m sitting on the porch — alone
Marj is not here
I can’t stop crying
It has been a beautiful day
War, no wind
Doves cooing
There is silence
The sun is almost setting
The clouds won’t block it out
I hear voices in the distance
They sound happy saying goodbye
The sun is gone
Only the bright clouds remain
I’ll stay here until it’s cold
My handkerchief is wet
I’d better go in!
Stanley Truman
