SCVHISTORY MYSTERY
In last Saturday's Signal we printed a previously unpublished photo of the Walton Young homestead in Pico Canyon (Mentryville) in 1905. Readers were asked to pinpoint the location (we didn't know it), and to provide information (we don't have much) about the Youngs' home in the canyon prior to the Big House (Young was superintendent after Alex Mentry). Readers are coming through with clues; the home in the photo was probably the same as the boarding house that was in use at least in 1906 and possibly earlier. You can see the photo here:
