Clutter has raised its shaggy head. I do need to get rid of a large amount of clutter. Clutter came through many a year and when one of us was going to simply throw a few things out of the house the other one would say, "We might need that." Needless to say we would talk back and forth and usually would save more than we needed. Fifty eight plus years have passed by and I am sure that we did not really need to keep everything. It is completely noticeable that there are large quantities of items to go through in order to not miss something that still needs to be kept. Okay so I have boxed up some no longer needed books that someone else may need or want. I will continue to search through draws, closets and cupboards for the next few days; months.

Seventh of nine children, Griggs lived mainly on his father's farm, with seasonal work in New York City at the Knickerbocker Ice Company. In 1849, he caught "gold fever" and sailed to Panama where he then crossed over to the Pacific, sailing to San Francisco in August, 1849. He started diggings on the American River near Coloma gaining only mediocre success after surging storm waters destroyed costly flumes and wing dams. A prospecting tour to Shasta gave him his first glimpse of Red Bluffs, then home to only one small adobe used as a hotel. In 1851, he joined a surveying expedition, locating rivers and mapping the State and continued mining near Shasta sharing many rough and tumble Wild West experiences along the way. In 1853, he farmed barley in Colusa, entering into the cattle business in 1857. Griggs moved to Tehama in 1864 leasing acreage on the Dye Grant. He drove cattle to Nevada; horses to Utah to trading for cattle he then drove to San Francisco. He retired for two short years and in 1875 started a sheep ranch at Mill Creek. In 1883, he drove sheep to Wyoming, and in 1886 drove sheep to Idaho. All this time, he maintained residence in Red Bluff where "early in the '80s he built his commodious residence on the corner of Washington and Ash Streets." (Hist. & Bio. by Prof. J. M. Guinn, 1906). On June 3, 1885 in Oakland, Sidney Allen Griggs married a widow of nine years, Mrs. Melvina Rhoda Roundtree Montgomery; she was born in Nashville, TN, in 1840, one of ten children. Her father, Judge Andrew Roundtree, was Principal of an Academy in Ad Correction Our ad in Fri, March 8th for 0% Financing For 72 Months should have read 0% Financing For 72 Months on Select New Vehicles.

In 1857, Roundtree brought his family to California. He sailed and sent seventeen year old Melvina overland along with her brothers, driving 1000 head of cattle, settling near Chico. Melvina married her first husband, John M. Montgomery, a native of Knoxville, TN, in Marysville. He had come west overland in 1854, driving cattle with him and purchased the Capay Grant, south of Tehama. They had two sons John and William. Mr. Montgomery died in 1876. Sidney and Melvina Griggs were active in civic and social affairs. Mr. Griggs died in 1906. His wife continued to live at the home on Washington Street becoming quite eccentric and a bit reclusive until her death on October 15, 1931. The Griggs home was purchased in 1931 by the Kelly brothers. James Kelly of Albury, Australia, married Catherine Harrington of Melbourne. They migrated to California in 1870 with two children, Richard and Mary. While farming near Madera, a son Tom was born and died. They headed north to Tehama County in the 1870s. Eight more children would come along to join Richard and Mary—James, John, Margaret, Catherine, Anne, Michael, Ellen and Emma. The Kelly boys all became ranchers and cattlemen, owning various properties. The girls attended the Convent in Red Bluff and later Anne, Ellen and Emma attended "Chico Normal" [now CSU, Chico] and became teachers. Anne taught school where Vista Middle School, Red Bluff now stands. The elder Mr. Kelly died in 1904. Some of his daughters had married; the brothers, all bachelors, and the unmarried daughters lived with their mother on a ranch until she died. They then moved to town purchasing the house on Washington Street in 1931. In 1956, Ellen Kelly McMann and brother, Michael, both died leaving just Anne and Emma Kelly Johnson in the house. In 1964, Emma died and Miss Anne lived there alone. After striking a deal to sell the stately Victorian to the newly formed "KellyGriggs House Museum Association" in February 1966, Miss Kelly moved to a nursing home near Sacramento where she lived until April, 1988, passing away at the age of 104. The museum is home to a collection rich in Tehama County history. Tours are available most 1-3 p.m. Thursdays and Sundays. A $5 donation is requested to help keep the doors open. Special group tours are available upon request. Guides' Programs, open to the public, are held throughout the year featuring guest speakers and various topics of interest.
