DRAKE, MISSOURI JANUARY 7, 1877

The grace of Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Amen!

My dear friends, Henry Berger and wife, nee Miss Minnie Engelbrecht, H. W. Tappmeyer and H. Buchholz are comforting you brothers and sisters, who are alone this Sunday evening. Strange you may think this to be, but it is nevertheless true, for God’s ways are often inscrutable. I am obliged to convey the sad intelligence to you that Father and Mother Engelbrecht are now in eternity. I shall endeavor to give you the details as well as I can.

You knew that Father Engelbrecht was ill all winter, often had high fever and was in a weakened condition. A few days before Christmas he was so ill that he had to remain in bed. Severe pains in his abdomen made the calling of the physician imperative who mitigated the pain; however, Father Engelbrecht had little resistance. His inflamed urinary bladder caused great distress; usually he left his bed to relieve the pressure, but since last Wednesday he was unable to do this. Though weak and exhausted, and no longer able to speak, he remained rational. He breathed his last at one o’clock on Thursday afternoon, falling asleep peacefully, trusting in Jesus. He witnessed triumphantly Tuesday evening, while I visited him, that his soul was hidden in Jesus and that he prayed to depart with Jesus. We grant him this heavenly rest, knowing that he has been a crossbearer and yearned to be released. Mother Engelbrecht and your brothers and sisters nursed him tenderly and seldom left his bedside. He was laid to

Mother Engelbrecht seemed to bear up bravely, but as you know, she was pregnant, and on Friday evening preceding the burial on Saturday, the midwife was called; however, the labor pains subsided until we left the home with the body of Father Engelbrecht. Toward evening that Saturday a daughter was born. Complications set in which necessitated the calling of the physician, who, however, was powerless to aid. Only the Lord could help, but He deemed it wise to call her from the midst of her children. This morning at four o’clock she finished her course, and on Tuesday morning at ten o’clock we shall bury her. Strange indeed, are the ways of the Lord! One is inclined to question the wisdom of God in calling both parents when so many children still need the loving care of devoted parents, but it behooves us to yield and to trust, confident that the Lord knows best and does not err.

This sad announcement must grieve your sorely, dear friends, as it has us, especially since we are concerned about the infant and are thinking of its future welfare. The Wehmhoners will in all probability take care of the child. Their daughter is with us this evening and is nursing the infant.

My beloved, I must hasten to a conclusion. I find it rather difficult to give you all of the details, because I was not present at all times. The children are grief-stricken and requested me to write to you. Please, write soon, and remember your sorrowing brothers and sisters in prayer. Let us all bow ourselves under the hand of God and trust Him, for He has promised to exalt us in due time and to care for us if we cast all our care on Him.
The Lord be with you and you with Him!

Written in response to the request of the Engelbrecht children.
Greetings to all!


Translation of Obit from German:

Brother Casper Engelbrecht
no longer resides on earth. He died 4 January 1877, believing in the Lord after twelve years of suffering from a pelvic (lower abdomen) disease. Brother Engelbrecht was born in Lower-Göllenbeck, governing district of Minden, Prussia. He reached an age of 49 years and his wife, Anna Elsebein Engelbrecht, nee Schlomann, died unexpectedly but not unprepared in her 42nd year of life on the 7th of January, on the morning of the funeral of her husband of a heart attack. Sister Engelbrecht was born in Upper-Göllenbeck, governing district of Minden, Prussia. Brother and Sister Engelbrecht joined our church in the year 1860 and were loyal members until the end. Their marriage was blessed by 12 children, 11 surviving, 1 deceased.

Obituary of Mrs. K.H. Schaper
Emma Louise Engelbrecht was bom near Drake, Mo., May 10, 1863. She was left an orphan at the age of thirteen. She was converted and united with the German
M.E. Church at the age of 17.

On Aug. 6, 1885, she was united in marriage to Rev. J. O. Jacob. This union was of brief duration, her husband being called from his labors Oct. 8,1887. Of this marriage were two children, Elmer, who passed away April 21, 1938, his home being in Tulsa, Okla., and Amelia, wife of W.J. Burgess, of Chula, Mo., who was born after the death of her father. Of this family there are eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Three brothers and three sisters preceded her in death. Those surviving are; John Engelbrecht, Stony Hill, Mo., Joseph and Mrs. Henry Oberg, Bay, Mo., Mrs. Henry Berger, Union, Mo., Gust Engelbrecht, Oxford, Nebr.

On June 26, 1895, Mrs. Jacob became the wife of Bro. K.H. Schaper, whose home was in the vicinity of the Zoar M.E. Church, a few miles north of Wright City.

Here prosperity and happiness crowned their lives until death again brought to her a broken home and a second widowhood in the going home of her husband on Jan. 2,1917.

The issue of this union consisted of five children all of whom are here to give loving tribute to a devoted and saintly mother and to cherish the memory of a kind and indulgent father. 'Tis beautiful indeed, to note that children bereft of their parents rise up in the strength of noble manhood and womanhood and call them blessed.

The children of this union are: George, on home farm, Troy; (Anna) Mrs. Clem Creech, Troy; (Marie) Mrs. Walter Bruning, Wright City; (Emma) Mrs. B. G. Meyer,
Topeka, Kan.; Esther, St. Louis. Of this family there are seven grandchildren. There are three surviving step-sons and a number of step-grandchildren to whom she was very
devoted.

Three words in this brief life history challenge attention-orphaned, widowed and converted. The first two suggest sorrow, loneliness and in many instances privation and
hardship of various kinds; but the word converted to God through Jesus Christ, how it sweetens the bitterness, softens the hardness and sanctifies all to the working out of the
exceeding and eternal weight of Glory.

Mother Schaper came to visit her daughter, Mrs. Clem Creech, and while there she was stricken with partial paralysis which rendered her helpless, but of which she did not suffer.

Friday morning, March 7, 1941, at 6:30 the second stroke summoned her to be absent from the body, but present with the Lord.

Loving care was ministered by Mrs. Creech and other members of the family up to the final moment of the closing of a beautiful life.

Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the Wright City Methodist Church by her pastor. Rev. J. L. Nickerson, assisted by Rev. Louis J. Duewel of Troy.

Interment was in the Zoar cemetery.

DR ENGELBRECHT DIES AT STONYHILL
Practiced In the Same Community for Over 51 Years

Dr. John Engelbrecht died at his home in Stonyhill last Thursday morning, March 15, after having served as a doctor in Franklin county for more than a half century - 51 years. He was 77 years old at the time of his death.

Funeral services were conducted last Sunday at St. James Evangelical church in Stonyhill.

Dr. Engelbrecht was born August 27, 1867, near Drake, MO, and grew to young manhood in that community. He parents died when he was quite young.

After he graduated from high school, he entered the St. Louis Homeopathic Medical college and was graduated from that school in the spring of 1893. He was married to Miss Anna Louise Hilkerbaumer, February 26, 1893.

He opened an office in Berger after his graduation, but remained there only a few months when he moved to Stonyhill in November, 1893, and has lived there ever since. He had a very large practice and was well known by most people in this county, as well as Gasconade county, where he took care of the ills and distresses of unnumbered people in the fifty one year that he practiced.

He had always been in the best of health until he fell on the ice at his home last January 1. He failed to regain his strength after that and other ailments and complications finally set in.

Besides his widow and children, he leaves to mourn many other relatives and a great host of friends.

Find A Grave Memorial# 35945236

Shortly after theri marriage, Gustav and Florentina moved to Nebraska, settling in the Upland area. Their first 2 children, Dorothy Marie and George Benjamin, were born there. Sometime later they moved to a farm near Macon in Franklin County, Nebraska. The next 3 children, Agnes, Gilbert, and Winifred, were born there. Later in 1917-1918, they moved to Furnas Couty, five miles west and 1/2 mile south of Oxford, Nebraska. Gustav farmed the place until they retired in 1946.

THE REPUBLICAN RIVER FLOOD OF 1935

On May 30, 1935, torrential rains fell in eastern Colorado and southwestern Nebraska; by early morning of the 31st, the usually peaceful Republican River was running bluff-to-bluff along its upper reaches. When the waters subsided two days later, over 100lives had been lost and many millions of dollars of damage had been done. A number of persons from this community were drowned.

After the prolonged drouth of the early 30's, the wet spring of 1935 had brought welcome relief to the region. By the end of May, however, the soil was nearing the saturation point. The rains of May 30th, concentrated in the basin of the South Fork and extending into the valleys of the Arikaree, Frenchman, Red Willow, and Medicine, poured into the main stream--normally 300 to 400 feet wide, turning it into a raging torrent one to four miles wide.

The flood water came as a wall, variously estimated at from three to eight feet in height. The advance of the crest was more rapid in the upper valley, reported at ten miles an hour above Trenton, at five between there and Oxford, and slowing to 2 1/2 miles an hour upon crossing over into Kansas.

To prevent the repetition of such a tragedy the federal government has built a series of six dams, five in Nebraska, across the Republican or its tributaries, serving not only as flood protection, but providing recreation and irrigation facilities as well.

[This letter is written by Gustave Engelbrecbt to his Englebrect relatives in Missouri giving the details of the loss of his son Orville’s (spelled Orvel in the letter) wife and daughter in the Republic River Flood of May 31, 1935.]
Oxford, Nebraska
June 3, 1935

Dear Loved Ones:

Now that the rescue work is over I feel I should let you know more definite about the terrible flood we had here in the Republican Valley. The worst in the history of Nebraska. It his us all pretty bad but Dorothy and her family were some of those most severely hit.
The water came so fast that one couldn’t run out of the way of it, and it was midnight when the volley came and people were at sleep and the night was pitch dark and was raining some. When Dorothy and Orvel awoke, the water as coming into the house, they had no time to dress. Orvel waded through the water to get an axe and chop a hole in the roof; and all climbed to the roof when they got there the house swept away with them, going at a fast speed down the valley towards the river. In a little while the house hit something and went to pieces, and they went on with part of the roof. Soon they hit a tree at the river and were thrown into the river.
Orvel is a good swimmer, he took the little boy 2 years old in one arm and swam with the other arm. He told Dorothy to hang on to him she grabbed his suspenders and that way he swam with them. Poor Willis Lou had already gotten away from them. Soon they got on some floating pieces of something and held to that till they were wiped off that. Then he had to swim again and soon they got to something else to cling to but that soon got away from them and had to swim again. Somehow Dorothy must have hit something and lost her hold on him and sank. He saw her come up twice and hollered at her with all his might but she did not answer any more and sank again when he never saw her any more. In the excitement the boy dropped away from him he grabbed for him and happened to catch him by the arm, thanks to God, otherwise he would have been gone too. Being much discouraged after losing the girl 6 years old and finally Dorothy too, after swimming a mile and a half, but for the sake of the little boy he thought he
Lucky he soon got to safety with the boy on a small, very small sandy island, soon after Dorothy let loose of him. If she had held on for about 20 feet more she would have been saved, but at the time they did not know that for it was too dark to see anything. They got to this island at about one o’clock at night and it was pretty cold and the little fellow had nothing on anymore, his shirt was all torn off and was quite bruised. Here he had to spend 36 hours before he was rescued.
The little fellow got so cold that he turned blue. Orvel took his overalls off and wrapped them around the boy and pressed him close to him. In the morning, Saturday, the sky was clear and the sun came out warm. But let me tell you Providence played its part here, God sure helped that little fellow. Orvel saw a little mattress floating on the water close to the shore he caught it and it was the boy’s own little mattress out of his little bed.
Orvel cut it open and dried it. Soon came a pillow along with an extra pillow case on it. Orvel put part of the feathers in the mattress and put the other pillowcase on him cutting a hole in the top for his head and a hole on each side for his arms and then put him in the mattress when he had that done the boy looked at his dad and smiled, that done him so well that he thought his efforts were well rewarded. In all this while the boy did not cry.

Orvel was so badly grieved over the loss of Dorothy and Willis Lou that he cried out loud for a long time. His little boy says to him, “Daddy shut up”.

36 hours is a long time for a little boy to do without food or water so he insisted on having some of that dirty floodwater. God helped him and soon came a cup floating along Orvel caught it and filled it with that water and left it settle until the dirt was all on the bottom then he drank the water off. Then he says, “Daddy lets call Mamma to make us some thing to eat. Orvel explained to him that mamma got lost in the water and would never come back. The little fellow must have understood that he never called for mamma again.

Not far away on another island Orvel saw a house he thought to swim over there with the boy, put him in the little pillow case and tied him on his back but the little fellow cried so bad that he had to abandon the scheme. Stayed till next morning, Sunday. Then he could wade it across to the house. The people that lived there had left everything and fled, but there was food and water in the house, so Orvel fixed a meal and it is needless to say the boy ate heartily and smiled.

At eleven o’clock a boat came along and saw them and brought them in. Today they are both doing well, only Orvel is horrible sun—burned and the boy is very sore. This is just one story of many similar ones. Many people were rescued from trees and housetops. Several of the rescuing party were drowned. Well I guess I must relate a little of our own experience. Since we all got out alive I did not think it so important though our loss is something like $3,000.00 We did not think the water would ever come as high as we live.

So we stayed in the house and went to bed at 11:30 a neighbor called for help the water was running in the basement. We got up and dressed in a hurry, and when we went out the water came into our yard already. We ran to see what could rescue from the basement but could do nothing the water was already running in and in a little while a minute or two the water stood a foot deep on the floor. We saw we had to flee but there too the water was so deep and too swift and none of us could swim. So we crawled outthe north window and got on the windmill tower and around the side of the tower we hung till next morning about eight o’clock, then the neighbors from the highland came and got us with horses. The water had dropped two feet or more already. This was Friday night.

Now, Monday, we have 15 men working to clean the dirt out of the house and barn. We had 2 feet of mud in the house when the water went down. Everything in the house was full of mud. All fences, hay lumber, posts and everything that would swim went away, some of the smaller buildings went too others were moved just some distance and were hung up. All spring chickens drowned. The bigger ones and old hens were roosting high and stayed. From 40 hogs have ten left, cattle were all gone but 4 but Saturday we heard where there were 5 more. The wheat oats are ruined and grain in the bin is full of mud, have not even got seed corn left. We had no corn planted yet in the bottom. It will probably be a few weeks before we can live on the place.

At Orville Fuchs’s place the old folks lived in a big 2 story house and had 8 occupants at the time. It swept away and all got drowned but 3. They clung to a tree. Every building on the place and everything else is gone. Orville hasn’t got anything anymore but he proved himself a brave man and a great hero and if Dorothy had just hung on to him a little bit longer he would have saved her too, but neither one knew that they were so near at safety. Nearly every house in low bottom is gone and many people are drowned. They have so far recovered 3 bodies. Dorothy and Willis Lou we have not found yet. We will search again tomorrow and pray that we may find them. We would feel so much better if we could find them.

Now Amanda will you please let Joe and Obergs read this letter for I just haven’t the time to write to every body and then send it to Bill and to Sister Emma. I would like so much to write to everyone but I just can’t find time we have so terrible much todo. Dear loved ones please forgive me, I am just all concerned in finding back my dear daughter and granddaughter meanwhile we will trust and pray and cast our burdens upon him who said, “Call upon me in the days of trouble and I will deliver thee I willwrite again as soon as I can. Wife is bearing up good and so are the rest, with the help of God.

Your loving ones,
Tena and I and the rest of the family

Note: After talking with Winnifred Watson I found out that the wife’s body was never recovered after the flood. Willis Lou’s body was found by a farmer who was tending to his fields and saw her little arm sticking up out of the ground where the floodwaters had receded.

[This letter is written by Gustave Engelbrecbt to his Englebrect relatives in Missouri giving the details of the loss of his son Orville’s (spelled Orvel in the letter) wife and daughter in the Republic River Flood of May 31, 1935.]
Oxford, Nebraska
June 3, 1935

Dear Loved Ones:

Now that the rescue work is over I feel I should let you know more definite about the terrible flood we had here in the Republican Valley. The worst in the history of Nebraska. It his us all pretty bad but Dorothy and her family were some of those most severely hit.
The water came so fast that one couldn’t run out of the way of it, and it was midnight when the volley came and people were at sleep and the night was pitch dark and was raining some. When Dorothy and Orvel awoke, the water as coming into the house, they had no time to dress. Orvel waded through the water to get an axe and chop a hole in the roof; and all climbed to the roof when they got there the house swept away with them, going at a fast speed down the valley towards the river. In a little while the house hit something and went to pieces, and they went on with part of the roof. Soon they hit a tree at the river and were thrown into the river.
Orvel is a good swimmer, he took the little boy 2 years old in one arm and swam with the other arm. He told Dorothy to hang on to him she grabbed his suspenders and that way he swam with them. Poor Willis Lou had already gotten away from them. Soon they got on some floating pieces of something and held to that till they were wiped off that. Then he had to swim again and soon they got to something else to cling to but that soon got away from them and had to swim again. Somehow Dorothy must have hit something and lost her hold on him and sank. He saw her come up twice and hollered at her with all his might but she did not answer any more and sank again when he never saw her any more. In the excitement the boy dropped away from him he grabbed for him and happened to catch him by the arm, thanks to God, otherwise he would have been gone too. Being much discouraged after losing the girl 6 years old and finally Dorothy too, after swimming a mile and a half, but for the sake of the little boy he thought he
Lucky he soon got to safety with the boy on a small, very small sandy island, soon after Dorothy let loose of him. If she had held on for about 20 feet more she would have been saved, but at the time they did not know that for it was too dark to see anything. They got to this island at about one o’clock at night and it was pretty cold and the little fellow had nothing on anymore, his shirt was all torn off and was quite bruised. Here he had to spend 36 hours before he was rescued.
The little fellow got so cold that he turned blue. Orvel took his overalls off and wrapped them around the boy and pressed him close to him. In the morning, Saturday, the sky was clear and the sun came out warm. But let me tell you Providence played its part here, God sure helped that little fellow. Orvel saw a little mattress floating on the water close to the shore he caught it and it was the boy’s own little mattress out of his little bed.
Orvel cut it open and dried it. Soon came a pillow along with an extra pillow case on it. Orvel put part of the feathers in the mattress and put the other pillowcase on him cutting a hole in the top for his head and a hole on each side for his arms and then put him in the mattress when he had that done the boy looked at his dad and smiled, that done him so well that he thought his efforts were well rewarded. In all this while the boy did not cry.

Orvel was so badly grieved over the loss of Dorothy and Willis Lou that he cried out loud for a long time. His little boy says to him, “Daddy shut up”.

36 hours is a long time for a little boy to do without food or water so he insisted on having some of that dirty floodwater. God helped him and soon came a cup floating along Orvel caught it and filled it with that water and left it settle until the dirt was all on the bottom then he drank the water off. Then he says, “Daddy lets call Mamma to make us some thing to eat. Orvel explained to him that mamma got lost in the water and would never come back. The little fellow must have understood that he never called for mamma again.

Not far away on another island Orvel saw a house he thought to swim over there with the boy, put him in the little pillow case and tied him on his back but the little fellow cried so bad that he had to abandon the scheme. Stayed till next morning, Sunday. Then he could wade it across to the house. The people that lived there had left everything and fled, but there was food and water in the house, so Orvel fixed a meal and it is needless to say the boy ate heartily and smiled.

At eleven o’clock a boat came along and saw them and brought them in. Today they are both doing well, only Orvel is horrible sun—burned and the boy is very sore. This is just one story of many similar ones. Many people were rescued from trees and housetops. Several of the rescuing party were drowned. Well I guess I must relate a little of our own experience. Since we all got out alive I did not think it so important though our loss is something like $3,000.00 We did not think the water would ever come as high as we live.

So we stayed in the house and went to bed at 11:30 a neighbor called for help the water was running in the basement. We got up and dressed in a hurry, and when we went out the water came into our yard already. We ran to see what could rescue from the basement but could do nothing the water was already running in and in a little while a minute or two the water stood a foot deep on the floor. We saw we had to flee but there too the water was so deep and too swift and none of us could swim. So we crawled outthe north window and got on the windmill tower and around the side of the tower we hung till next morning about eight o’clock, then the neighbors from the highland came and got us with horses. The water had dropped two feet or more already. This was Friday night.

Now, Monday, we have 15 men working to clean the dirt out of the house and barn. We had 2 feet of mud in the house when the water went down. Everything in the house was full of mud. All fences, hay lumber, posts and everything that would swim went away, some of the smaller buildings went too others were moved just some distance and were hung up. All spring chickens drowned. The bigger ones and old hens were roosting high and stayed. From 40 hogs have ten left, cattle were all gone but 4 but Saturday we heard where there were 5 more. The wheat oats are ruined and grain in the bin is full of mud, have not even got seed corn left. We had no corn planted yet in the bottom. It will probably be a few weeks before we can live on the place.

At Orville Fuchs’s place the old folks lived in a big 2 story house and had 8 occupants at the time. It swept away and all got drowned but 3. They clung to a tree. Every building on the place and everything else is gone. Orville hasn’t got anything anymore but he proved himself a brave man and a great hero and if Dorothy had just hung on to him a little bit longer he would have saved her too, but neither one knew that they were so near at safety. Nearly every house in low bottom is gone and many people are drowned. They have so far recovered 3 bodies. Dorothy and Willis Lou we have not found yet. We will search again tomorrow and pray that we may find them. We would feel so much better if we could find them.

Now Amanda will you please let Joe and Obergs read this letter for I just haven’t the time to write to every body and then send it to Bill and to Sister Emma. I would like so much to write to everyone but I just can’t find time we have so terrible much todo. Dear loved ones please forgive me, I am just all concerned in finding back my dear daughter and granddaughter meanwhile we will trust and pray and cast our burdens upon him who said, “Call upon me in the days of trouble and I will deliver thee I willwrite again as soon as I can. Wife is bearing up good and so are the rest, with the help of God.

Your loving ones,
Tena and I and the rest of the family

Note: After talking with Winnifred Watson I found out that the wife’s body was never recovered after the flood. Willis Lou’s body was found by a farmer who was tending to his fields and saw her little arm sticking up out of the ground where the floodwaters had receded.

Died:
Art was born in San Rafael, California to Reverend Arthur Engelbrecht, Sr. and Gladys Hartley (Osteyee) Engelbrecht. Art passed away peacefully on December 19, 2013 at Zen Hospice in San Francisco.


At any early age, Art's parents moved from San Rafael to Breese, Illinois where his father's pastoral duties were required. After a few years the family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he attended South Side High school, lettered as a manager of the basketball team and worked on the school paper. While still in school, his father passed away, yet Art graduated with honors. His mother then moved the family, which now numbered five children to San Francisco, where Art joined the Merchant Marines in March 1945 to help support his mother and younger siblings.


His work as a Merchant Marine Seaman took Art around the world to Panama, Trinidad, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Hawaii, Saipan, and Canada. He also visited Japan right after the end of WW II. He was always proud of his service in the Merchant Marines and was pleased when the US Congress finally passed legislation designating all Merchant Marines as Veterans.


While still a seaman, on a blind date in Vancouver, B.C., he met Kathryn Yurisich and married her two years later. They were married for 65 years until her death in November 2012. She was the light and joy of his life. During their lifetime, Art and Kay lived in San Francisco, Houston, Sonoma and San Rafael. They traveled extensively together and loved cruise ship life. Their adventures led them to Russia, China, Europe, Central and South America, Hawaii, Canada, and Mexico. When they were young, they loved packing up the family car and setting off with their kids to State and National Parks, as well as visiting their many family members scattered throughout the U.S. and Canada. They also spent long summers at the Russian River where Art's "hobby" was fixing up the family cabin at Summer Home Park.


Employed in the early 1950's at Bethlehem Steel in South San Francisco, Art designed electrical power towers. Then for more than 25 years Art worked as a Cost Engineer for Shell Petroleum in Emeryville, Houston and Martinez. His hard work and astute investments allowed him to retire at age 57, giving him many years to pursue his avid interests in reading, gardening, do-it-yourself projects, traveling, and enjoying and supporting cultural activities in Sonoma and San Francisco.


Art loved the 49ers and used to take a large group of neighborhood kids to the games at Kezar Stadium in the early 60's. A season ticket holder during the glory Super Bowl years of the 80's & 90's, Art & his wife Kay attended many 49er games, including the Super Bowls at Silver Dome in Detroit and at Stanford Stadium.


He also loved Giant's baseball and saw Willie Mays play at Seal's Stadium after the move from New York, and considered himself the luckiest man in the world to see the Giant's finally win 2 World Series.


Art is survived by his daughter Janet, son Art Jr., daughter-in-law Donna Reeve, grandson Quincy, his brother Lloyd and sisters Charlotte and Betty, their cousins, and the many nieces and nephews who loved him and looked up to him.


A memorial service is planned for Saturday, February 1, 2014, 2 PM, Westminster Presbyterian Church, 240 Tiburon Blvd., Tiburon, CA 94920.
