MEMORIES FROM HIS DAUGHTER

Excerpts from June Ogden Myers Pearson:

Bakersfield, Where I Grew Up

I was born at home in Bakersfield, Kern County on October 8, 1914. "Auntie Jones" (no relationship) had made a small apartment out of the back of her home, the 2nd or 3rd house south of 8th street on the west side of N Street. Mother and father rented it from her and that was home!

Florence Tilden was the eldest of three girls born to Grace Odgen Tilden and Frank Bert Tilden. Grandmother Grace was very prim and proper; Frank was a contractor -- a very down to earth man who loved people and frequently had his men friends over for cards. Grampa was a wealthy man -- he had the only cement mixer in Los Angeles when there were no sidewalks! On one occasion, at least, he chartered the Catalina Ferry to take his three daughters and their friends to Catalina for the weekend! Because my grandparents came from such different backgrounds they separated when Florence was a senior in High School. They never divorced, but it was quite scandalous for married people to live apart; as a consequence, Mildred and Dorothy had nothing more to do with their Father. Because Florence was the eldest, she understood their differences and unhappiness and always made her Father welcome in our home. What a break for me -- I loved that man! He came to Bakersfield often in his touring car and we had memorable picnics in the foothills -- Arvin, Calente, Bodfish, Kernville, Walker's Basin, Glenville, Woody, Jack Ranch. He taught me about nature, about people and about enjoying life -- the world was a wonderful place to be! One of his best gems that I practiced all my life was: "Don't eat the apple in the barrel that is beginning to spoil; choose the very best apple in the barrel. If you don't, you will go through life with rotten things when you could have the very best!"

Grandpa Tilden contracted to build one of the first big buildings in downtown Los Angeles, but a steel strike in the east prevented him from finishing the project on time. He lost everything! Everything except his love of life. He was a wonderful man in my eyes!.

"Auntie Jones", in whose home I was born, was my Bakersfield grandmother. When I was in High School she became senile and had to live in a rest home. I went to see her almost every day and read children's books and poetry which made her laugh. One day she asked me to bring ice cream on my next visit, but the next day was rainy and I didn't go; the second day she was dead. I was so sad, but I had learned, the hard way, never put off to tomorrow what you can do today -- or do as much today as you can possibly crowd in -- especially if what you need to do is for someone else.

Friendly Bakersfield allowed me to grow up naturally. "Auntie Jones" taught me to do what needed to be done NOW. Mother allowed me freedom and taught me compassion for others. Father taught me the basics of finance and instilled a strong sense of right and wrong. John gave me Love. Grandfather Tilden taught me to take the best the world had to offer -- to set my goals high and then Just Do It! My total environment let me be in control of myself and create my future!!

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
From Find A Grave

Undated newspaper article

An invitation wedding followed by a surprise wedding were pleasing features at the home of Mrs. Grace Tilden, 1119 East Twenty-fifth street, Tuesday evening. the invitations were for the marriage of her daughter, Miss Florence M. Tilden to Rudolph F. Myers of Los Angeles. the Rev. Mr. Gilbert performed the ceremony, the bride being given away by her grandfather, Mr. Ogden. the young couple were attended by Miss Mildred E. Tilden, a sister of the bride and Horace J. Barton. Miss Bess Gilbreath was usher, Miss Alta Gilbreath played the wedding march, and Miss Dorothy Barton sang "Oh Promise Me."

The surprise came after the ceremony, when the clergyman requested the newly married couple to exchange places with the best man and the bridesmaid, and Miss Mildred Tilden became Mrs. Horace J. Barton. The second wedding was a complete surprise to most of those present, not even Mr. and Mrs. Myers knowing what was to occur. The room were appropriately decorated and light refreshments were served.
