Camp Stoneman, Pittsburg, California
Camp Stoneman, Pittsburg, California Camp Stoneman was located in N. California, at Pittsburg, 40 miles NE of San Francisco. A staging area and rifle range for troop training by the Army, and established as a Class I installation, it was also used as a facility of the San Francisco Port of Embarkation. Though the sound of thousands of marching feet is but a memory today, Camp Stoneman was once the principal "jumping off point" for more than one million soldiers destined for operations in WW II's Pacific Theater, and again several years later during the Korean War. Consisting of more than 2,500 sprawling acres, it sprang to life in 1942. Its function was to rapidly process troops for overseas service by completing paperwork and updating records, arranging for last minute training, providing medical and dental care, and issuing and servicing equipment. Camp Stoneman, named after George Stoneman, a Civil War cavalry commander and early Governor of California, had a lifespan of only 12 years, being activated on May 28, 1942, and decommissioned on August 30,1954. The day-to-day operation of the camp was a tremendous task. In addition to receiving, processing and embarking thousands of troops each week, waiting soldiers were housed and fed, medical and dental examinations and corrective work conducted, clothing, equipment and records put in proper order, final training provided, and numerous other odds and ends taken care of. Camp Stoneman consisted of more than 800 cream and khaki-colored buildings, capable of accommodating 20,000 troops at peak capacity. The average length of a stay for troops bound overseas was one to two weeks. -

The name Wachau is part of Count Zinzendorf’s noble title and refers to an area in Austria where the Zinzendorfs’ ancestral estate was located. The Moravians founded several congregations in Wachovia: Bethabara, Bethania, Salem (now Winston‐Salem) as the central town, Friedberg, and Friedland. During the first decades of its existence the Elders Conference in Bethlehem (beginning 1762 the Oeconomatskonferenz) oversaw the activities in Wachovia and the leaders in Wachovia reported to Bethlehem. Therefore, many letters, reports, diaries, memoirs, and financial statements were sent to Bethlehem during the early decades. 2.3 Archival History Records relating to the congregations in Wachovia were made into a separate record group and arranged by Kenneth Hamilton. -

Wachovia Historical Society 124Th Annual Meeting by Paul F
WT The Wachovia Tract WT A Publication of the Wachovia Historical Society Volume 20, Issue 1 Spring 2020 Wachovia Historical Society 124th Annual Meeting by Paul F. Knouse, Jr. and Johnnie P. Pearson The 124th Annual Meeting of the Wachovia Historical Society was held on Tuesday evening, October 15, 2019, in the Gray Auditorium of the Old Salem Visitor Center. As always, a delightful musical prelude preceded the meeting. This year, we were pleased to have organist Mary Louise Kapp Peeples with us, playing the historic 1800 David Tannen- berg organ (see page 2). Business matters of the Society were covered first, including re- marks by WHS President I.B. Southerland and election of new directors starting their terms in 2020. This year’s most interesting annual oration was delivered by Mr. Randell Jones, an award winning author and storyteller (pictured at right). The title of Mr. Jones’s oration was “They Came to Wachovia, Tired, Cold, and Hungry.” Randell presented a story of the American Revolution which touched Wachovia specifically— the march of the prisoners after the Battle of Kings Mountain to Bethabara around the fall of 1780. It is helpful to remind ourselves of the lay of the land during this period. The Declara- tion of Independence in 1776 might have “officially” initiated our American Revolution, but the momentum for this had been building for some time (at least since 1765) with the British intent upon having undisputed control of the colonies and actively demonstrating this. July 4, 1776, however, was just one of the many noteworthy official events of the period, as the War for Independence actually began, as early as 1775, with numerous skirmishes and open combat, extending all the way to 1783. -
HISTORY of USC OTOLARYNGOLOGY by George B
HISTORY OF USC OTOLARYNGOLOGY By George B. Stoneman, M.D. The University of Southern California was founded in 1880. The College of Medicine of USC was organized May 2, 1885, and in the spring of 1888 the first class was graduated. Although degrees were granted by USC, the College of Medicine remained independent of the University, funding operations by donations from the faculty and student tuition. Instruction was started in a reconverted winery building at 445 Aliso Street in Los Angeles, which was immediately adjacent to the present 101 freeway. The previous occupant of the building had been the Vache Freres Winery. It was expanded to equip the growing school with laboratories, an out-patient clinic and free dispensary. Students dissected cadavers in the same basement quarters that had once been used as a wine cellar. It was a three year curriculum, and there were no matriculation requirements—not even a high school education. The entrance examination usually consisted of an oral test in classical languages at the home of the first dean, Dr. Joseph Widney. The total cost of instruction for three years was $315. The first location of USC College of Medicine was in an old winery building, located at 445 Aliso Street, Los Angeles 1 In 1885 the governor of California was George Stoneman, who was my great-grandfather. He was a retired Civil War Union Major General, who had retired to a 400 acre ranch in San Gabriel, which he named “Los Robles”. One of the graduates of the medical school class of 1898 was Edward M. -
