From Crackers to Coal Oil: : The Early History of Sunland, California, Vol. 4

That brought Virgina Newcomb to Sunland, California. Two years later, she married Loron Rowley, one of the earliest settlers in the valley. Together they helped to develop the village as ranchers and proprietors of the general store, leaving behind a detailed account of pioneer life in a small village.
