Could this be our James M. Morgan-note that Rachel states that she is still married-although this James M. Morgan states that he is single. He would be a very long way from home? (2 of his sons are in Los Angeles in the 1930 Census!)

Because the Baldwin ranch and business for pleasure-seeking visitors were its only industries, Arcadia, (located in Los Angeles County, CA), did not hold its election for incorporation until 1903. Baldwin was elected its firs Mayor, and the first Board of Trustees meeting was held in the famed Oakwood Hotel on August 17, 1903. In order to acquire some quick money for the City treasury, one of the first ordinances of the many adopted called for $40.00 liquor license tax to be exacted from the numerous saloons. The much-needed establishment of law and order was furthered by a marshal, deputies, a City Court, and a jail. (California Historic Route 66 Association Arcadia, California: A Brief History of Arcadia) In 1885, the main line of the Santa Fe Railroad, in which Baldwin was a stockholder, was opened through the ranch, making subdivision of part of the land into a town site practical. In 1889, on a site just north of the corner of First Avenue and St. Joseph Street, adjacent to the Santa Fe tracks, Baldwin opened the 35 room Hotel Oakwood to be the centerpiece of his new town.
