Longtime Lakeside resident Roy Lee Cooper has passed away at the age of 95. The Cooper family arrived in Lakeside in 1926. Roy Lee (as many friends called him) attended Grossmont High where he was a track star, setting a school record for 120-yard low hurdles that was unmatched for 25 years. He graduated in 1943 and enlisted in the US Navy, serving as a Radarman on the USS Patterson during WWII. His name was proudly displayed on the Lakeside Honor Roll, which stood in front of the Lakeside Community Church during the war years. Roy Lee was also a charter member of the local VFW.
In 1947, Roy Lee married Mary Lou Craig and lived in Lakeside, where they welcomed a daughter and then a son. The couple eventually owned and operated the Bostonia Cement Works. Retiring at age 52, Roy Lee and Mary enjoyed the retired life – traveling and visiting until they moved to Montana in 1983. Roy Lee lived there until he died. Among other things, Roy Lee was a musician who used to entertain his shipmates on the Patterson by playing his guitar and singing while sitting on the ship’s fantail. Roy Lee made a point to keep in touch with friends, family, and shipmates. Over the years, he made many visits to Lakeside, stopping in at the VFW or the Historical Society just to say hi and visit friends, both old and new. He was a genial and jovial man, someone you were always happy to see. He is a man who will be missed.
Roy Lee is survived by children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and even great, great grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial was held with Military Honors in Montana. The family suggested memorials be made to the Lakeside Historical Society or the Lakeside VFW Post 5867.

Our Co-President at Lakeside Historical Society received an email from Paul Johnson. Gary said this.
"It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I must inform our membership that Sarai Johnson passed away yesterday, from an extended battle with cancer. Her husband, Paul Johnson, shared the news with me this morning and asked that I inform LHS.
There will be a memorial service in the near future, but the date has yet to be set. It will be at the Marston House garden in Balboa Park. I will share the specifics as soon as I get them.
As most of you know, Sarai has been working on the National Register nomination of our Olde Community Church on Maine Ave Lakeside for the past few years. Paul made a point to tell me he is determined to get that done as soon as possible. I offered my assistance as well.
Sarai was a one-of-a-kind preservationist and human being. Her knowledge of local history, historical sites, and building codes was pretty much without equal. She will be missed not only by her many friends and family, but by the Lakeside Historical Society and the Lakeside Community Planning Group, who so benefitted from her involvement."
I would add, Sarai helped us save the Historic El Monte Pumphouse on El Monte Rd. It was almost demolished if it hadn't been for a group of us including Sarai. The photo below is of her at the Pumphouse parking lot. We were documenting the building.
RIP Sarai Goebel Johnson you were such a sweet soul.

Lakeside first fire station.
In 1954 A volunteer fire company was formed and the first Fire company was formed at Ed Harrisons Mobil Gas Station on Maine Ave Lakeside. In 1959 Ed Harrison was appointed Fire Chief, a position held until his retirment in 1974. This is his Firefighter helmet donated to the Lakeside Historical Society by Ed Harrisons grandson Michael.
If you are wondering where the station was jus look across the street from Mary's donuts. There is a red Pegasus atop the old original building that Ramon Ibarra has restored nicely, Thank you Ramon for appriciating our historical assets.
What a beautiful gift to the historical society for all the public to enjoy.

Lakeview school means a lot to Lakeside. And the older 1890s schoolhouse across the street does also….But not as much as seeing the youth of Lakeside get involved with our Historical Society !! The picture presented actually has a 2007 project from Living History days in it . Then it has the 2 youngest Life members of our organization - that both are Lakeview alumni. To be able to have this proudly in the office we hope it is infectious and more of the younger Lakeside kids will be involved in the community.

East County Equestrian Center, first community meeting
(I didn't replace Billy Ortiz, I am only covering during his absence as much as I can. ) Here is the video from the last night event at Lakeside Community Center. Members of the East County Equestrian Foundation and the County of San Diego met with the local community to gather ideas about the planned covered arena to be built in Lakeside. The turnout was great and you are all welcome to come to the next and last meeting in March. What an amazing idea and it's much needed in our town. Many thanks to everybody who made this possible. Lots of work ahead and volunteers are needed. Get involved now. Here's the foundation page with updates if interested: https://www.facebook.com/East-County-Equestrian-Foundation-395122717287338/?fref=ts Ana Nita
LUCILLE FOSTER FILMS
1940's or so movie clips shot by a member of the Lucille Foster family in the El Monte Valley in Lakeside Ca. Shots of the spillway at El Capitan Reservoir and parts of the San diego river. About mid video there is a scene of some buildings just downstream of the dam that have been long gone. The last old buildings to stand in that area were burned in the Ceder Fire in 2003.

MUSSY GRADE ROAD
New info became availible about who owend the house where the rock chimney stands. George Sneed was his name, His homestead was in the San Vicente Valley, he farmed here till 1936. I made a trip down Mussy Grade road to get a last look at this old cobblestone chimney that George Sneed made. Back in those days it was all they had to keep warm in the winters, more than likely his family also used it for cooking. In the video I make mention that not much is known of this man and I did not know his name till I found a history piece on the San Diego County Water Authority website http://www.sdcwa.org/san-vicente-dam-raise In a few short years the SV Dam Raise Project will be completed the water level will be raised at least 100 feet higher than it was previous to the project start date. The chimney will be submerged for ever . There is also a legend that some buildings are underwater close to the dam but SDCWA says there is not. watch video here- http://youtu.be/HCzPzI3kSpM This is the old road that Highway 67 replaced (Mussy Grade ) has all but vanished under the waters of the San Vicente Reservoir. If not for Ramona Ca. the road would have been completely covered over by the wilderness. Moreno Ave at one time connected to this road at the long gone town of Foster 5 miles north of Downtown Lakeside Ca. Long before cars hit this road it was horse drawn wagons that traveled this road into the high country of Ramona and Julian Santa Isabel and beyond into the desert. Then the railroad came to Foster but still from Foster it was horse drawn wagons. Car became an easier way to travel so the road was modernized with concrete. In the early 40's The City of San Diego took advantage of the deep rock canyons and built a Dam at the gorge just a 100 feet from the town of Foster displacing Cumeeyay Indians from the area as well. Some say the waters flooded over some buildings that remained upstream of the dam but SDCWA will not admit that there are building underwater. 2 things f
LAKESIDE WOMENS CLUB "QUILT SHOW" MARCH 10, 2012 It was March 1910, that Mrs Mary Ross decided to assist the advancement of civic and social interests in Lakeside ca.. Inviting some of her friends to her home, she formed the "Women's Club of Lakeside. Mrs Ross was elected first president. The Clubs first project was held in 1911 when they assisted in the building of the Town hall ( later to become the Lakeside Theatre) Collecting $200.00 from the owner of the Lakeside Inn (John Gay) to buy the lot, Dances and dinners were given to raise funds for the building materials. From the Legends of Lakeside book. http://www.americantowns.com/ca/lakeside/organization/woman-s-club-of-lakeside http://www.lakesidehistory.org/
LOS COCHES CREEK DAM
Circa 1887, It is believed that the builders of the Lakeside Inn constructed this 5 foot wide 150 foot long and 25-30 foot tall Dam to supply irrigation water the grounds at the Inn. Constructed In the Los Coches Creek It was a favorite place to ride horses too as shown in the video of a women in 1900 on her horse in front of the dam. Some folks have told me that as children they frequently visited the dam. Water runs in the creek year around and gently rolls over the spillway, in the winter after a good storm you can hear the roar of the water spilling over the dam clear to Los Coches RD. The Dam stands as a testament to the builders precision and quality and care of building this very sturdy dam, it has withstood the test of time and many a flood. Exact location must remain concealed but we hope you enjoy this wonderful Lakeside Historical Landmark video. Thank you Pami Wilmers for helping us rediscover the Dam. LHS

October 28, 2020: 8 AM - 2 PM Covid Testing AND flu shots...Lakeside Library or the nearby parking lot.
A lot of the equestrian entries in the Mother Goose Parade are from Lakeside. These slides offered on Ebay (not by me) show a pair of matching Silver Riders. I didn't start riding in the parade until the 70's so I don't recognize them.
Thanks for providing the polling place!
***Claudia May Gillespie Hall-Campbell-Taylor***
On Saturday, December 21, 2019, The "Meanest Mom in Lakeside" passed away. It was a title that her kids gave her and that she held with pride.
Claudia was born in Los Angeles on July 31, 1927, and was raised as an only child. She married our dad, Wyatt W. Hall in 1946. After the typical travels of a Navy family, in 1951 they settled in Lakeside to raise us five precious kids.
In her final years, she frequently reminisced about much she loved living and raising kids in Lakeside. This makes sense since like a CIA Spy Master she kept a bevy of spies throughout the Lakeside community, normal-looking people, moms, teachers and shop keepers who were always on the lookout for any Hall kid who was misbehaving. It was from this circle of informants that allowed her to know before we got home what we were guilty of and to have a suitable punishment ready (remember, we said she was mean!). Since daddy was often out to sea, she knew that she didn't have the "wait-until-your-dad-gets-home" option of discipline.
She was preceded in death by three husbands, our dad, Wyatt Hall in 1973. Later, she married Gordon Campbell who again left her a widow. Then many years later to John Taylor who admitted to being a little nervous about being #3 and swore to not eat any mushrooms that she served him. After John passed (not from mushroom poisoning) we pled with her not to marry again, citing the simple fact that there was not enough room on the headstone. With the full name of Claudia May Gillespie Hall-Campbell-Taylor that would probably require an extra headstone.
As if raising us five delightful kids wasn't enough of a life accomplishment, she went back to college after dad's death and completed her AA degree at Grossmont College. She was a life-long learner, a voracious reader, and an avid traveler, going to Europe eleven times and making a complete trip around the world on her own. She was very active in the Lakeside Farms PTA, the Los Angeles High School Alumni Association, and at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish where she taught CCD and was one of the first Lay Eucharistic Ministers at OLPH and later was active at St. John the Evangelist in Encinitas.
Her son Wyatt W (El Cap 1965). and step-son Richard (from dad's first marriage) preceded her in death. Her other children include Cathie Kenefick of Satsuma Fl., Steve Hall of Lakeside, Kevin Hall of Carlsbad, and Ellen Hall of Tombstone Az. In addition, (not counting her second & third husband's kids), she has twelve grandkids, thirteen great-grandkids, and four great-great-grandkids. Having been born and raised as an only child, her greatest desire was to have a large family. In her later years, she would just marvel at the size of our family and it brought her great joy.
So, the mantle of "Meanest Mom in Lakeside" is back up for grabs.
We will be having a viewing on Friday, January 10, 2020, from 3:00-4:00 at El Camino Mortuary at 340 Melrose Avenue, Encinitas.
Her funeral mass will be held at the Holy Cross Cemetery Chapel on Saturday, January 11, 2020. The Rosary will begin at 11:00 with mass to follow. The burial will be directly after mass when she'll be laid to rest beside our dad. 4470 Hilltop Drive, San Diego 92102

My son found Treasure in the crawl space under our house. It looks like it’s been there for many years. Two old tool boxes with tools, an old beer can, First aid kit, and an almost new looking Maniscalco’s Cactis Ranch pencil. (Lakeside Historical Society has the old Maniscalco‘s sign displayed inside)
We still have seats left for both tours! Come explore east county's history with us!
We still have seats left for tomorrow's great program from Sam Webb. No membership required to learn about Alpine history!
The latest newsletter has a photo of an ashtray from Al's Mobile & Garage Service. Al and Lorraine Minchow were good friends of my parents. At the gas station they had a cooler outside full of ice with bottles of pop. That's what I remember most.
My dad Bob Henderson was organist choirmaster and taught piano lessons in the church in the 1950s when Reverend Roberts was there. Does anyone remember him or have any photos of the organ from then? I know he taught a family named Christie. My sisters and I grew up on the hill overlooking the Castle. One sister still lives in San Diego. We are so happy to see what you have done with the church! Below is myself at Lindo Lake 1956, and at our home at Castle Court Dr. 1956 and 1961.

Our Guest Speaker at next general meeting ; Heartfelt write... I want to make this night a once in a lifetime night for her. I want her to be so proud after she learns about a undiscovered area of her Daddy's living. She will learn about the huge system that she was involved in as a girl. Her family made everyones life comfortable and prosperous down the line. He had to be a smart man to be chosen for the job and hold it for so many years. A quiet man that didn't get much recognition until now. Then she will tell first hand accounts, of what it was like, and how wonderful her memories were growing up as the Dam Keepers Daughter. This night is for Beatrice lets all celebrate it with her. With love for Bea ❤️
