The Lobner family came to California during the Gold Rush and settled in
Colfax, Placer County, California, where they operated a general merchandise
store. Principal family names, in addition to Lobner, include: Perkins, Soule
and Harmon. Morris Lobner (1849-1917) was married to Jeannie Perkins (b. 1867).
He was in San Francisco at the time of the Earthquake and Fire (1906) and wrote
letters to his wife about the experience. These letters were published in the
Pacific Historian 4:2 (May 1960). Other family information is contained in
reminiscences and genealogical materials collected by Hope Lobner Cahill (b.
1894) and her sister, Joyce E. Lobner (b. 1891) through interviews with family
members.
This collection contains correspondence, taped reminiscences, notes,
photographs and genealogies pertaining to the Lobner family.
