130 HISTORY OF PASADENA. 



at you, you feel as if your hair all stood up as stiff as hazel brush. It was 

 less than ten short paces from where the empty shell fell from my shoulder 

 to where the bear stood when I gave him the second shot. This was the 

 only genuine " grizzly" killed at Pasadena since the town commenced. I 

 killed or helped to kill three other bears that same year. 



As to Indian relics, I have found no stone axes nor arrow heads, but 

 have found old mortars [metates] and pestles [mealing stones] — small ones, 

 only 3x5 inches, and larger round ones 6 to 7 inches through, or mostly 

 about 5 inches long, i ^ inches thick and 3 inches wide ; also some 6 to 7 

 inches through, round, and about 2 inches thick. All show extreme age, and 

 were from 2 to 15 inches below the surface. The mortars are nearly all 

 worn through. They were found mostly on the banks of the Arroyo 

 or Millard creek. [See page 49.] 



D. M. GRAHAM. 



By Mrs. Graham : We came to Pasadena in October, 1876, with our 

 own conveyance from Anaheim, but were originally from Bloomington, 111. 

 We boarded at Mrs. Locke's for awhile, then rented a part of Mr. Cooley's 

 cottage ; but built our own house in 1877. The first crop we raised was 

 strawberries. My sister, Jennie E. Collier, was with us. Pasadena was 

 just getting a postoffice ; and Mr. Graham had a two-horse carriage and 

 wanted to drive out every day for his health anyway ; so he took the con- 

 tract and became the first mail-carrier from Los Angeles to Pasadena, doing 

 also a passenger and package business at the same time. [See " Story of 

 the Postoffice," Chap. II.] 



A. K. m' QUILLING. 



Came to Pasadena with my family in July, 1875, from Mercer County, 

 111. Came by railroad to Sacramento, then to San Francisco and San Pedro 

 by steamer. The first man we met in Pasadena was A. O. Porter, who was 

 irrigating a bed of orange seed, on Orange Grove Avenue. We first lodged 

 in D. M. Berry's house. Our fuel was procured from wood lots in the 

 Arroyo. I bought ten acres in the Berry & Elliott tract on Colorado street, 

 where Pasadena Avenue and Kansas [Green] street are now. Hauled lumber 

 from Los Angeles and built a house there. My first Crop was corn. Asi to 

 snow, hail, destructive wind storms, excessive rains, and drouth, we have 

 had them all ; but came through them in good shape. 



HORATIO N. RUST.
