UC Berkeley History and Law Professor Dylan Penningroth.
Dear Proffessor Penningroth; You have been chosen to be a Ring Bearer and redeem the history of the Presco-Benton family. As I type, my niece lies in a cold morgue in Bullhead City. She has been there since July 23rd. almost thirty days. Her father said he is the third cousin of the the muralist, Thomas Hart Benton, who is the grandson of Senator Thomas Hart Benton, who daughter, Jessie Benton, who married John Fremont, who emancipated the slaves of Missouri, and was the first Republican candidate for President. This party was co-founded by Radical German Socialists know as The Forty-Eighters.
Over three years ago I posted on the Belmont Historiacal Society Facebook, and had my posts removed, and told my posts on Kamala Harris would not be included in Belmont History. Kamala and I were born in Oakland. My great great grandfather, Carl Janke, is a pioneer family of Belmont. He was dug out of his grave in the middle of the night, and put in Redwood city. I am Carl’s Goel Redeemer, as well as the Goel of Drew Benton. I believe they have taken our land, illegally. Who is they? Carl built two Turnverein in San Francisco. Carl’s granddaughter married William Stuttmeister one of the first graduates of the University of California. He would form a partnership with William Janke. They had a dental office in Redwood city. Their history needs to BE SAVED!
You have been chosen to do this. You have no choice, like I have no choice. I have chosen you as a possible co-author. My whole blog needs to be archived. We must go to the Oregon Historical Society and look at a letter Jessie Benton Freemont wrote. We must go to Belmont and look at the history of…..my family!
You are the first black person to be included in the Trilogies written by J.R. Tolkien. Google Mary White Ovington. Welcome to White World. Wolf Stuttmeister is my ancestor. You will be – running with the wolves tonight, the night Kamala Harris accepts the Democratic Nomination for President. My brother has disappeared himself, because….”There is blood on your lies!” We are hinting for….the truth!
This will not be the last e-mail I write to you. I need to ground my investigation – in your knowledge. You will be running! We will, be running! We are……Runners! We are – running with the wolves tonight!

I am a white man who has grown weary of the guilt trip laid on us by women and people of color. Indeed, I have grown intolerant. To many my intolerance makes me a bigot, my bigotry a sexist and racist. So be it. I hate no one because of their race or gender. I wish everyone health, wealth and happiness. However, I reject the white man’s burden. It is not our responsibility to provide the world with economic parity to white men. They have the responsibility to make their parts of the world as desirable as we have made ours, and to provide their children with the same quality of life we provide ours. We must take back our culture. The future of the world, our countries and our cultures cannot be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

What a red letter day! I fuund two newspaper items that join the Janke and Stuttmeister family. William Stuttmeister and William Janke graduated from the University of California School of Dentistry (at the same time?) and Stuttmeister may have met Augustus Janke through her brother. They got married in Ralston Hall, and took the Janke stagecoach to honeymoon in Halfmoon Bay. The two Williams grads, then opened a dental office in the Wahl Building. How ideal! This is a far cry from the newspaper accounts that slime the Janke family, that may have caused them to be dug out of their grave in the middle of the night. Alas I find a article in the Times Gazzette – that tells the truth! They were good and honest people, who ran Belmont Park – AND OWNED A LOT OF LAND! Alas – the motive!
How perfect! You got the hardware store, the drug store, the bar, and upstairs , the dentist office. I can’t use my magnifying glass. Is it possible the family names are on the window?
What could go wrong? How about the war with Germany? I suspect there was anti-German sentiments in the area. There looks like a lot of vandalism at the Union cemetery. I’m going to ask the Governor and the heads of Archeology at UC Berkeley and Stanford should do a complete study – along with Israel! We have to put an end to the hatred. We got another Hitler on our hands who is selling Lost Heritage. I am reminded of John Steinbeck. We now know William Augustus Janke owned Belmont Park and do a records search. Did her leave lot of money to his daughter Augusts who bought eight track of land in Woodcare? Where else? Did William get dug out of his grave at the Oddfellows cemetery in SF?
I should have been encouraged to bring my newspaper to Belmont – and make a new Belmont Soda! Is there a soda fountain in Ryan’s Drug Store – with ice-cream floats? I was denied my American Heritage by hostile members of the Belmont Historical Society!

EXTRA! On July 21, 2024, I found an article in the Redwood Gazzette Times about the court battle over the legacy of Pioneer Carl A. Janke. Finding out his father was dying, William A, Janke CHARTERED a locomotive in San Francisco and sped to Belmont in or get there before Carl died. What is interesting, Elizabeth Johnson is claiming FIVE ACRES near the center of Belmont. She is the mother of Doris Vannier who said Elizabeth told her the Janke grave was dug up in the middle of th night. This is evidence a LAND FIGHT took place! Is the BHS aware of this article – and fight – that I copyright!

William Oltman Stuttmeister
Posted on November 13, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
I am considering authoring a biography of my great, great grandfather, William Oltman Stuttmeister. But, I do see a serial, a Black Mask treatment……
Doctor Stuttmeister
Yesterday I found a image of an appartment building William built on McCallister street in 1910 four years after the earthquake. My great, great, grandfather helped rebuild San Francisco. This morning I found an old photo of the Dental College he attended in San Francisco that became a part of the University of California. That these apartments are named ‘Laurel’ goes with my theory that William built around forty homes in the Laurel District – that could have been named by him. William, who helped build Oakland, is a pioneer in the field of Dentistry, and is labeled such by Redwood City. The Stuttmeisters lived in Fruit Vale, and their kin, the Jankes, founded the City of Belmont. They are listed as Pioneers of San Francisco.
In contrast, is my father’s father, Victor Hugo Presco. He was a gambler in the Barbary Coast made famous in a couple of movies. I can write a Grasshopper and the Ant tale about two men whose grandfather’s immigrated from Germany. One is a Bohemian fair-thee-well, and the other is a ambitious student at the University of California. William is a Humphry Van Wayden type whose seed will give birth to Captain Victor von Wolf Presco, real estate pirate, and father of a famous female artist and hippie spiritualist egghead a.k.a. ‘Blacky’. My father told me he raised his two sons using Wolf Larsen as a model. He made a loan to Jack London’s daughter. Jack worked in Belmont at a boys school doing laundry. It is evident the family mythos is based on real people.
My real father, Victor William Presco, played violin at Oakland High, and William played violin for the Oakland Symphony Orchestra. Did he hear the ‘Pique Dame’ as an honored Alumni?
P.S. What is going on?!! I just googled ‘Pique Dame’. She is the Queen of Spades! Last night I watched ‘Cloud Atlas’. The music at the end of my life – has been found!

1868–1898 The Origins of the University of California and Affiiated Colleges
Creating a UC Dental Department
“We need a college of dentistry on this coast and if we have not a necessary talent among ourselves, we can import it. We owe those who take our places, greater facilities for study and professional breadth than the times have afforded us. The future will demand men educated in all that constitutes the scholar and professional man, and refined in all that makes the gentleman.”
Dr. CC Knowles, June 26, 1870
The same impulse that prompted physicians and pharmacists to organize, standardize, and regulate their professions motivated a group of the city’s leading dentists to call for creation of a professional dental school. S.W. Dennis, M.D., D.D.S., was typical of this group of early organizers. He had graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, received an honorary D.D.S. degree from the Indiana Dental College, and began practice in San Francisco after studying with a local dentist. In the midst of general lobbying for a school of dentistry, Dr. Dennis contacted colleagues at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania to help plan for a dental college in San Francisco.
Three Flags – One Grave
Posted on May 27, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
It is 8:33 A.M. May 27, 2023 – and I am still in shock having discovered my grandparents are buried in the same grave! I saw TWO flags put on one gravestone. That was a half hour ago. THEN – I see another flag! There are three of my ancestors buried in the same grave! WHY? Did the caretakers conclude this was a very poor family? William Stuttmeister knew they were Belmont before he died. At great expense to himself, he moved the Jankes to Colma after they were evicted from the Odd Fellow cemetery – at great expense! This was a wealthy pioneer family whose graves keep being defiled! They were moved to the Union cemetery i 1972?
In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo Baggins is the ring bearer who carries the One Ring from the Shire to Orodruin, almost to the Cracks of Doom. Bilbo gives Frodo the ring on Gandalf’s advice. Gandalf also holds one of the Elven-rings, but he keeps it hidden until he leaves with the other ring-bearers at the end of the Third Age.
Goel (Hebrew: גואל, romanized: goʾel}redeemer), in the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic Judaism, is a person who, as the nearest relative of someone, is charged with the duty of restoring that person’s rights and avenging wrongs done to him or her. One duty of the goel was to redeem (purchase back) a relative who had been sold into slavery. Another was to avenge the death of a relative who had been wrongly killed; one carrying out this vengeance was known as the goel hadam, commonly translated to English as “avenger of blood.”[1]
The obligations of the goel include the duty to redeem the relative from slavery if the latter had been obliged to sell himself into slavery (Leviticus 25:48–49); to repurchase the property of a relative who had had to sell it because of poverty; to avenge the blood of his relative; to marry his brother’s widow to have a son for his brother, in the case that the brother had no son to pass on his name (Deuteronomy 25:5–6); and to receive the restitution if the injured relative had died (Numbers 5:8).
Jewish tradition has also attributed the blood avenger role in modern times to a prosecuting attorney, who pleads on behalf of the victim in the case against the criminal. Thus, he is responsible for bringing the offender to court, finding evidence against him, presenting the case, and collecting damages from the offender. His task is also to argue against any attempts to pardon the sinner. It is presumed that the court would be the party who would avenge the wrongful death via the imposition of the death penalty,[3] though Deuteronomy 13:9 suggests that the witness to an offence and afterward the whole of the people would carry out the penalty of death by stoning.[4]

JANKE’S JOURNEY. The Big Belmont Stake in Course of Probate. Twe«l) .r»,r Mllr,’ Itldr .n . 1 mm. live-1 hr Lrgnl Srarrh for • MflsaiKK
On the 13th of Sup ten; her last) Carl Augnst Janke, of Belmont, died of the disuast) Known as diabetes, leaving three surviving children, and considerable projierty. His will has been tiled fur probate in the Super* ior Court at Redwood City, ami for the past three weeks, a protracted legal contest between the heirs has been going on. The litigation is being conducted by Fox & Ross, of Redwood, representing the contestan s, and Kincaid & Fitzpatrick, with Charles F. U Hanlon, an enterprising young advocate uf San Francisco fur the will The costs uf the suit are rapidly roiling up. Extended short hand notes of the testimony are being taken, and medical experts Lum a distance, including the distinguished Dr. Shurtlefl* of the Napa State asylum, are prolonging the issue, to the eminent satisfaction of the legal luminaries engaged in the trial. From the mass of material already extracted from the mouths of willing and unwilling witnesses, and from other information the interesting particulars which follow are extracted.
At the time of the last illness of the deceased, William August Janke, the secund son,who occupied a store in a Belmont building belonging to his father was in San Francisco. Upon receiving the news that his parent just lingered in he shadows of the unknown and the hereafter, he hastened like a dutiful son to his bedside. Chartering a locomotive he reached the bed of the dying not long before death closed around the aged man. A notary was brought from Redw‘»od, and the will was prepared and witnessed some 36 hours before the eyelids of the deceased closed on Earth forever. By the terms of the testament, the picnic grounds and resort known as Belmont park, valued all the way from twenty to thirty thousand dollars, was bequeathed to Charles F. and William A., his two sons to share alike. A sum of 53.500 in in money was left, one third each to his three children, (the two sons aforesaid, and his daughter Elizabeth the wife of a resident of Belmont named Johnson,) all of whom are residents of this county. A store in Belmont owned by the testator, was left to Mrs Johnson, together with a tive acre lot which it is claimed already belonged to her husband. The land on which this siore is, was left to the two sons, and all the personal property to the son William August Janke.
Thu contest is made on the ground of mental incapacity of the Accused, and undue influence. It is sought to be proven, that the disease from which the old man suffered, was so painful and severe that his mmd was affected. Diabetes is said by the books to be an affection of the urinary organa, and is excruciating in the extreme. Irregularity in the making of the will is also endeavored to be shown. The whereabouts of a sum of $50,000, which the dead man had from the sale of real estate in San Francisco, is a matter of great interest and anxiety to counsel. Thus far it has not been found, and if discovered, and the will is sustained as the personal property of the estate, it would add materially to the legacy of the son William August. The events surrounding the drafting of the will, substantially are, as the contestants expect to prove them, that upon the return of William A. by express, ho had an interview with his father in the sick chamber, and that the rest of the family were directed to leave the room. A witness named Schmoll translated the contents of the will to the father and children, the whole conversation being conducted in the German language. ‘ These are the principal points of contention between the lawyers, and as usual in an extended trial over an important stake they are conducting the case with vigor, and occasionally indulging themselves in a little humorous relaxation. The eminent, but juvenile jurist from San Francisco, is conducting his case with much enthusiasm. During the trial he seems to have determined to put a certain question, not only agaiqst the objection of opposing counsel, but his associates as well. Judge Kincaid thereupon retorted on him with the sarcasm—“As Senior counsel in this case your Honor I withdraw that question.” The young man submitted.

Wahl Building exterior (c.1915). The Wahl Building on Main Street was built in 1883 by William Wahl, a native of Germay. The building housed small businesses on the ground floor and professional offices on the second floor. The Wahl Building was torn down in 1928 when Broadway was extended through Main Street.

Mary White Ovington and The Ring
Posted on December 3, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
When Eric Richardson ragged on Walt Disney, I knew about Mary Ovington being influenced by my Hero, William Morris, the Pre-Raphaelite. Tolkien was very inspired by William Morris, who ragged on Walt the “poor boob”. In 1969 I declared myself a New Pre-Raphaelite, and let my hair grow real long. The Evil Lord of Modor is stomping around Europe today, and no one has a clue how to stop him. I got more than a clue! How about Eric, and the NAACP?

THE MASQUERADE BALL. A Very Successful Carnival in Germania Hall. The Hook and Ladder Company Pleased With Their Hall. Henutlfiil Costume*.
“ Is she a man.” “•No, I think she is a girl.” The band was playing a lively air and all the gaily decked masquers with their strange, fanciful and pretty costumes were in motion. The jovial jester, the sober monk, “ legrande dame,” ‘‘la Espanola Scnora,” the Mexican hidalgo, Italian nobleman and American gentleman were all there. A boot-black jostled against the Spaniard and Tojtsy against the dude; the ghost walked into the pumpkin and his Satanic majesty found Night to be a pleasant companion. A Chinaman tried to strike up a conversation with a couple of Southerland sisters, the representatives of the regular army got stranded near the Five Points, while the Grand Army man and several American Hug girls seemed intuitively attracted toward each other, and clowns, Italians, sailors, last year beauties, Indians, cowboys, Irishmen,, plump arms, tapir limbs, sable faces and a thousand and one gauzy, gaudy and gilded beings with filmy laces aud fairy-like dresses, floated here and there to the tinkle of bells and a tambourine, the ripple of laughtet and whispered joke, and wound in and out, up and down in a maze of delicious figures, tints and colors. It was the night of the annual masquerade ball given by the Hook and Ladder Company. Every fellow who had one had brought his sweetheart, lost her and then enjoyed the privilege of trying to find her. A clasp of the hand, a whispered word and then they recognized each other and were already for the evening’s pleasure. The fellow who did not have a sweetheart turned clown or something else and punched the fellow in the ribs who had one. Some three hundred people and over came for the privilege of sitting down, keeping still and watching other people’s fun for the two hours proceeding 11 o’clock, when every body had a chance to dance.
Many of the costumes were very pretty and those who assumed special characters were generally quite successful in carrying them out. Excellent music added to the enjoyment. The general management of the ball was good and reflected credit on the firemen in charge, who all appeared in the regulation red shirt. The decorations were harmonious and effective. Upon the right bands of red, white and blue were stretched along the side wall with groups of fans in the loupes. Fire axes were crossed and a central wreath encircled a fireman’s hat. Similar colored cloth on the left was arranged in graceful forms between the windows and emblematic ladders were hung near the tnlddfe. Kvergreen ropes rtretchetf from the four corners to the center of the room and below hung a huge wreath with a silver ladder within. Claude Fox, C. A. Jacobus, C. E. Knights, Miss Frye and Miss Minnie Stalter were appointed a committee to award the various prizes offered. Shortly before 11 o’clock they awarded them as follows: For the best sustained lady costume, “ Topsy,” Mies Gertrude Lindsey of Belmont. For the most original lady character, “Money Costume,” Miss Lulu Janke of Belmont. For the prettiest lady costume, “Fancy Dress,” Miss Frankie Morris of San Francisco. A . For the best sustained gentleman character, “ Chinaman,” James Moscow of Redwood City. For the most original gentleman costume, “Five Points,” Phil Steinhaimer of Redwood City. For the prettiest gentleman costume, “Don Carlos,” Wm. Janke. Mr. Thompson was Floor Manager and Dan Daly, P. Genochio, W. Havey and T. Thompson the Floor Committee. Antone Genochio, Dan Mullen and H. Mourot constituted the Committee of Arrangements. The Reception Committee consisted of O. Dodge, J. Daly, L. Bettannier, M. Boyd, R. Badie, J. Metes, A. Hanson, Geo. Whooton, L. Genochio and Jos. Kussell. The supper was served at Price’s Hotel, where the large dining hall had been nicely decorated with evergreen. Three tables were arranged the entire length of the room and presented a pretty Scene previous to the supper, with the crystal ware reflecting the colors of numerous bouquets. Supper was served 280 people, 140 being seated at one time.

Don Carlos (German: Don Karlos, Infant von Spanien,[nb 1][1] German pronunciation: [dɔn ˈkaʁlɔs ɪnˈfant fɔn ˈʃpaːni̯ən] ⓘ) is a (historical) tragedy in five acts by Friedrich Schiller; it was written between 1783 and 1787 and first produced in Hamburg in 1787.
Plot
[edit]
The title character is Carlos, Prince of Asturias and the play as a whole is loosely modeled on historical events in the 16th century under the reign of King Philip II of Spain. Don Carlos is a Prince of Spain, given to the Spanish Inquisition by his father (who also wants to marry Carlos’ lover) due to his Libertarian creeds. Another great Romantic character is the Marquis of Posa dying for the liberty of the Dutch Republic as well as ruling Catholic Spain during the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation.

William Stuttmeister – A UC Graduate?
Posted on June 22, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
When I first saw the massive doors to the Stuttmeister crypt, I understood that the person responsible for them is into doing things that are substantial. This morning I discovered the Tolmad building that is probably where William Stuttmeister went to Dental College. That building was built to last, but was destroyed in the earthquake fire. Dr. Stuttmeisters had a dental office near SF city hall, that was also destroyed in the fire. Then, his loved ones are dug up and out out the Oddfellow graveyard. I believe he was at the Broderick farm below Joaquin Miller, the moved to Woodacre.
My great grandfather owned the same uphill fight – that is even more substantial – now that I have proven we are kin to the Getty family, who may not have come into their money – in such an honest way! The Stuttmiesters are registered as a San Francisco Pioneer family, and thus they – ground us all! William was married at Ralston Hall. Consider the two arched doors that William entered at the beginning of his life, and at the end.
I was going to add – William is eternally grateful for me being born. In looking at the graves in Redwood, it says there was – another stone? Did the original grave belong to Mutter Heinrich, the mother of Anna? Did Carl and Anna go to visit Mutter, which is the custom of Oddfellows. Was there a agreement with the City of Belmont to inter the founders in Twin Pines Park – forever? Was the new marker bought in 1972, when Mutter’s grave was opened – and Carl and Anna – were dumped in?
I demand a thorough investigation!
Somethings are bigger than us. I understood this when at twelve I flipped a coin (in my mind) whether to be an architect, or an artist. I never counted on being an historian – and now a playwright of operas? William was one the twelve who graduated and were treated to the overture of the ‘Pique Dame’ at Metropolitan Hall. How impressed The Twelve were. They knew they were Argonauts setting sail on a great endeavor, to yank the pain from your mouth, the thorn from the paw of the lion. Consider the movies ‘San Francisco’ and ‘The Phantom of The Opera’. William, is there, in the deep cavern of our souls, bidding us to pick up the gauntlet. Alas…..The Great Example!
We can do it! We can rebuild!

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is a public land-grant research university in San Francisco, California. It is part of the University of California system and is dedicated entirely to health science and life science. It conducts research and teaching in medical and biological sciences.[8][9][10][11]
UCSF was founded as Toland Medical College in 1864. in 1873, it became affiliated with the University of California as its Medical Department. In the same year, it incorporated the California College of Pharmacy and in 1881 it established a dentistry school. Its facilities were located in both Berkeley and San Francisco.[12]

Instruction in anatomy was transferred in 1898 to the buildings of the AFFILIATED COLLEGES and a year later all instruction in dentistry, except clinical work, was moved to a new dental building on that site. The clinics remained in the Donohoe Building until 1906, when the building was destroyed by earthquake and fire.
All divisions of the College of Dentistry were on the Parnassus Avenue campus by July, 1906, where, at what is now known as the Medical Center, there has been a gradual coordination of the teaching and research of the School ofDentistry, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the School of Pharmacy, and the several campus-wide research centers and institutes.
In September, 1954, the College of Dentistry offered instruction for the first time in its new quarters in the Medical Sciences Building. It occupies four floors in this building, as well as two floors in the adjacent Clinics Building.
By action of the Academic Senate in 1956, the College of Dentistry was changed to the School of Dentistry. There are now approximately 300 dental students, 48 dental hygiene students, and 20 postgraduate and graduate students in the school.–WILLARD C. FLEMING

S. W. Dennis, M.D., DDS.In the late nineteenth century, dentistry was regarded as a recently separated area of medical specialization. Many dentists had M.D. degrees in addition to their dental training and most agreed that dental education should be closely linked to the medical curriculum, especially with respect to the teaching of anatomy and pathology. They desired university affiliation and they worked in close conjunction with the faculty of the Medical Department. On May 28, 1881, the medical faculty formally proposed the creation of an affiliated Dental Department to the UC Regents, using the affiliation of the medical and pharmacy departments as precedent. Part of their appeal included their promise of free lecture and clinic space for dental students at the Toland Medical College building.
The Regents responded favorably, and in September of 1881 they established a Dental College to be organized with seven professors, nine instructors and four demonstrators. The eight members of the Dental Class of 1882 took courses of instruction in anatomy, physiology, chemistry and surgery alongside medical students in the Toland Medical College building at the corner of Stockton and Francisco Streets. A dental clinic was also located there and dental students were invited to attend selected bedside teaching clinics given by the medical faculty. While the UC Dental Department was not the only dental school to be organized in San Francisco, its founding in the context of the state university placed it in the forefront of academic schools in the West.
Toland Medical Building was the site of science instruction for the College of Pharmacy (in 1875-1876) and Dentistry (1882-1891) as well as the Medical School (1864-1898)Thus by 1882 the University of California had three affiliated colleges in San Francisco. Faculty salaries were paid by tuition and fees and the individual schools retained control over choice of faculty, but the Toland Medical College building was officially made the property of the university, and graduates of the schools wore university gowns at graduation. From the beginnings of affiliation, reciprocity in course offerings and programs was a feature of the three colleges: medical and dental students took anatomy and physiology side-by side, and all three schools allowed their graduates to expand their careers by matriculating in the other schools, with course credit allowed.

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is a public land-grant research university in San Francisco, California. It is part of the University of California system and is dedicated entirely to health science and life science. It conducts research and teaching in medical and biological sciences.[8][9][10][11]
UCSF was founded as Toland Medical College in 1864. in 1873, it became affiliated with the University of California as its Medical Department. In the same year, it incorporated the California College of Pharmacy and in 1881 it established a dentistry school. Its facilities were located in both Berkeley and San Francisco.[12] In 1964, the school gained full administrative independence as a campus of the UC system, headed by its own chancellor, and in 1970 it gained its current name. Historically based at Parnassus Heights with satellite facilities throughout the city, UCSF developed a second major campus in the newly redeveloped Mission Bay district in the early 2000s.
The University of California, San Francisco traces its history to Hugh Toland, a South Carolina surgeon who found great success and wealth after moving to San Francisco in 1852.[20] A previous school, the Cooper Medical College of the University of Pacific (founded 1858), entered a period of uncertainty in 1862 when its founder, Elias Samuel Cooper, died.[21] In 1864, Toland founded a new medical school, Toland Medical College, and the faculty of Cooper Medical College chose to suspend operations and join the new school.[21]
The University of California was founded on March 23, 1868, with the enacting of its Organic Act. Section 8 of the Organic Act authorized the Board of Regents to affiliate the University of California with independent self-sustaining professional colleges.[22][23] In 1870, Toland Medical School began to negotiate an affiliation with the new public university.[24] Meanwhile, some faculty of Toland Medical School elected to reopen the Medical Department of the University of the Pacific, which would later become Stanford University School of Medicine.[25] Negotiations between Toland and UC were complicated by Toland’s demand that the medical school continue to bear his name, an issue on which he finally conceded. In March 1873, the trustees of Toland Medical College transferred it to the Regents of the University of California, and it became The Medical Department of the University of California.[24] At the same time, the University of California also negotiated the incorporation of the California College of Pharmacy, the first pharmacy school in the West, established in 1872 by the California Pharmaceutical Society. The Pharmacy College was affiliated in June 1873, and together the Medical College and the Pharmacy College came to be known as the “Affiliated Colleges”. The third college, the College of Dentistry, was established in 1881.
Expansion and growth[edit]
Initially, the three Affiliated Colleges were located at different sites around San Francisco, but near the end of the 19th Century interest in bringing them together grew. To make this possible, San Francisco Mayor Adolph Sutro donated 13 acres in Parnassus Heights at the base of Mount Parnassus (now known as Mount Sutro). The new site, overlooking Golden Gate Park, opened in the fall of 1898, with the construction of the new Affiliated Colleges buildings. The school’s first female student, Lucy Wanzer, graduated in 1876, after having to appeal to the UC Board of Regents to gain admission in 1873.[26][27]
Until 1906, the faculty of the medical school had provided care at the City-County Hospital (named San Francisco General Hospital from 1915–2016 and Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (SFGH) since 2016), but the medical school still did not have a teaching hospital of its own. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, more than 40,000 people were relocated to a makeshift tent city in Golden Gate Park and were treated by the faculty of the Affiliated Colleges. This brought the Affiliated Colleges, which until then were located on the western outskirts of the city, in contact with significant population numbers. By fueling the Affiliated Colleges’ commitment to civic responsibility and health care, the earthquake increased the momentum towards the eventual construction of their own healthcare facilities.
Within a month after the 1906 earthquake, the faculty of the medical school voted to make room in their building for a teaching hospital by moving the three departments responsible for the first two years of preclinical instruction—anatomy, pathology, and physiology—across San Francisco Bay to the Berkeley campus. As a result, for over 50 years, students pursuing the M.D. degree took their first two years at Berkeley and their last two years at Parnassus Heights. By October 1906, an outpatient clinic was operational on the first floor of the medical building, and by April 1907, the new teaching hospital started to admit inpatients. This created the need to train nursing students, of whom the first was informally admitted in June; in December 1907, the UC Training School for Nurses was formally established, adding a fourth professional school to the Affiliated Colleges.[28]
Around this time, the Affiliated Colleges agreed to submit to the Regents’ governance during the term of President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, as the Board of Regents had come to recognize the problems inherent in the existence of independent entities that shared the UC brand but over which UC had no real control.[29] The last of the Affiliated Colleges to become an integral part of the university was the pharmacy school, in 1934.[29]

Stuttmeister Tomb in Colma
Posted on August 3, 2011 by Royal Rosamond Press
A curator for the Oakland Museum called me yesterday and asked me to e-mail him the photograph of my kinfolk having a picnic in the Oakland Hills. I had just returned from Dot Dotsons in Eugene where Jo framed a enlargement of this historic event in a antique frame I purchased. She did a splendid job!
Thanks to the Trust my uncle Vincent Rice left me, I have more funds to investigate and record my lost family history. Being poor I have had to endure hardship in order to visit my newfound daughter and newborn grandson in California. Tyler’s father was not there for his son, so when I went to see him for the first time I made a point to ground him in the history of my father’s people whom I and my cousin had just discovered were in a tomb at Cypress Lawn in Colma.
We three were the first kin to enter this tomb in many years. Tyler took an early lunch when Heather breast-fed her son on a marble bench facing the Tiffany window. Afterwards we went atop a hill and had a picnic next to these beautiful angels. Heather told me Tyler remembers being there. I was amazed when I saw his eyes follow a plane in the sky, and then smile.
My friend, Joy, had given me a special AA coin with the image of an angel on it for my late sister, Christine Rosamond, that I slipped into a crack made by an earthquake.
When we drove through San Francisco on our way home, I told Heather this was her and Tyler’s town now, for the Stuttmeisters are listed as a pioneer family, and made the Blue Book. In some respects, this was a Baptism.

[14 P. 36] This cause comes up on a writ of review issued to the Superior Court in and for the city and county of San Francisco (department 9). From the record presented, it appears that in 1884 John A. Collins presented a claim for services as attorney against the estate of F. W. R. Stuttmeister, deceased, to W. O. Stuttmeister, the administrator of such estate, and such proceedings were afterward had therein that on or about October 10, 1884, such claim was allowed and approved by the Probate Court for three hundred dollars, and ordered to be paid out of the estate in due course of administration.

Wolf Stuttmeister Comes To Belmont
Posted on March 3, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press
“Dr. and Mrs. Stuttmeister left Thursday morning for Santa Cruz and Monterey, where they will spend the honeymoon. On their return they will make their home in Belmont.”
When I awoke from my Old Man Nap yesterday, I wept when I saw the words I composed to my friend, Ed Howard, as to why our quest to get funding for the preservation of the History of Black Oakland – was sabotaged – by white citizens of Belmont, who loved my families White History, but hated my White Integrated History, especially my Turnverein Forty-Eighter History. I have been looking at the real possibility Rudolph Stuttmeister was a Berlin Turnverein, and he fled to the New World before the Revolution of 1948? This very wealthy family saw what was coming. Were they conservatives who took the side of the radicals? Germans were killing Germans.
Name:Rudolph Stuttmeister Arrival Date:12 Jul 1843 Age:27 Gender:M (Male) Port of Arrival: New York Port of Departure: Hamburg, Germany Place of Origin: Deutschland Ship: Stephani

Rudolph is German for Wolf. My mother, Rosemary, told me the Stuttmeisters were Teutonic Knights who saved White Europe from the Huns. Both of my parents were pro-German. Vic told me he joined the Merchant Marine so he would not have to fight his people. Rosemary joined the WAVES and was a Patriot, but, she loved my father who knew very little about the Stuttmeister. He did not know they were kin to the Janke family and were buried together in a crypt. My father took his German history over to the dark side. Darth Vader is real for me.
My brother, Mark Presco, led the way into us being Vic’s Little Nazis. One of the secretaries that worked in Vic Presco’s Lafayette home, called him ‘Vic The Nazi’ – all the time – to his face! He let her get away with it, as long as she sat down with him on the big leather sofa and watched his World War Two videos, and listened to his keen mind pointing out how – and why – Hitler could, and should, have won the war. The world famous woman artist, Rosamond, thinks our father murdered that secretary. Her parents gave back $10,000 dollars of my father’s money they found in her safe deposit box. The DA of Contra Costa called up Vic and demanded to know who his private lender is.
“Go fuck yourself!” I heard my father say. And he slammed down the phone. Fitteen years later he is showing me where he keeps his pump shotgun – just incase!
“Two Mafia guys from back East are coming over to talk to me. They want in on my Defaut Loan business. They’re packing heat. I met with them once. They might get tough with me. Here’s my shotgun. You might have to use it!”
This was a highlight of his life, as these two lethal looking guys walk into my fathers living room, and one gives me The Look, and closes the door. I am not privy to their conversation. The Mafia is a Foreign Terrorist Origination. Last night I watched the head of the FBI talk about Foreign Actors hiding amongst the Armed Patriots who have pro-Nazi leanings, and, are neo-Confederates, for sure!

Then I saw a photograph of a woman who said Andrew Cuomo improperly touched her and was sexually aggressive with her. In Aril of 2000 I wrote a letter to Cuomo about the lending practices of my father’s private lender (who was a Getty advisor) that I compared to the movie ‘Paint Your Wagon’. When I told my mother my theory, she gagged;
“Stay away from these men. They are very bad men. They will kill you!”
My first post on the Belmont Historical Society suggested there be a celebration of the election of Kamala Harris, and, Belmont be involved in some way, because the DNA of the Stuttmeister and Jankes ended up on a Fruit Farm in Oakland, just below Juaquin Miller’s Bohemian and Japanese Poet salon. It was Black History Month. I believe this photograph was taken in the Oakland Hills. Dr. William Stuttmeister had a dentist office near SF City Hall that was destroyed because of the 1906 earthquake. They came to Oakland as refugees. William Broderick was an officer for the California Barrel Company and may have lived in his office in Dogpatch, because the family story has Alice Stuttmeister Broderick taking the rail and ferry across the bay, while Joaquin Miller held Melba Broderick in is lap. Miller hung out at the Montgomery building with all the Bohemian Artists and Writers. My mother told us these people were our “Bohunk” relatives. I began to wonder if members of the BHS were conservative Republicans who believe Trump won – and they hate Bohemians who helped steal the election? Watching the Sopranos was like viewing home movies.

I am working on a painting of two women carrying our electoral ballot to a Brand New Hill in The Wilderness. The Black Poet stops and reads her poem – ito the setting sun. This poem celebrates the coming into the light, from the darkness. My dream is to present it to the People of Belmont – who deserve better. I demand all members of the Belmont Historical Society – RESIGN! Here is the term the born on the Beautiful Mount….
RACIAL SIFTING!
When the BHS saw my beautiful White History, mixed in with my Ugly Black History, they conspired to invent and make a contraption, that would sift out Their White Gold, and throw the Black Dirt ito the bay, just like the tombstones of the Odd Fellows were used as a sea wall. Six thousand members of Odd Fellows – and their children – came to Belmont on the train. I am coming to Belmont on the train. When I get off the train I am going to be wearing a camel skin to girt my loins. I will be all but naked. I will have in my hand a wooden staff. I will be crying like one in the wilderness – “REPENT!”
I will come as Mad Woodwose. I desdend from Andrew Webb, a blood kin of Shakespeare. I see a Shakespeare Festival in Belmont – after the trash is thrown out!
The former CIA Director said he is embarrassed to be a white male. After I wrote these words to Ed Howard, I looked at the shame my parents inflicted on their children – with glee. The Book Buck blessed, says both my parents were pedophiles. As a white male who has attended Incest Survivor meetings, and has thirty-four years of sobriety, of course all my Brothers and Sisters will come with me when I come – there – one home of my genetic material – that has made much White History,
Here is the beginning of my historic fiction. When I thought of it as I awoke, I wept for the people of Belmont. How many citizens there are worthy to be associated with the Puritans? What have I done to be worthy? It was very difficulty to repent and turn my life around. When was being an American, easy?

Lady Mary Wilson Webb, inherited the job of keeping the fire lit below deck. All those who had gone before her, had failed. The fire tendered in a square iron tray, held together with rivets, then filled with sand, had become the altar of the Pilgrims. It, and the black pot hung on a trident, was watched most of the day by the lost souls packed under the creaking and leaking timbers. Moving about was almost impossible. Everyone was frozen in their place. But for the brave excursions above, met by some tempest, and cold sea spray, the wayfarers relieved themselves in a vile oaken bucket that was too close for comfort. Bible’s were taken out from under pillows when a lady went to tithe the Oaken Monster as they called it. Reading verses aloud, was the polite thing to do.

Ed’s brother offered to drive me to see my parents graves. I want Melvin to be with with me when I come to Belmont – to clean house. I want Ed with me. I want Kamala Harris with me. I want Harry and Meghan. I want to stand on a high hill above Belmont, while Amanda reads from her famous poem. I want there to be a blinding ray of light that pierces the darkest heart. I want to hear the cry of Wolf Stuttmeister as he enters New York Harbor.
“Look my son at the beautiful city. Alas – we are free!”
Amanda Gorman, the young Black poet who performed at President Joe Biden’s inaugural, has become an overnight star with her works shooting to the top of Amazon bestseller lists ahead of their publication.
Gorman, 22, recited “The Hill We Climb” at the inaugural, a poem inspired by the US Capitol attack touching on how democracy “can never be permanently defeated.”
She is the youngest poet ever to recite at a presidential inauguration, a role first given to Robert Frost by John F. Kennedy in 1961.
THE LIGHT ON THE HILL
I just googled Amanda Gorman and amm blown away. The name of her poem, is
THE HILL WE CLIMB
I began my painting ‘Guardians Of Our Voice’ on January 112, 2021 and wanted to complete it by the Inauguration so I can gift it to Vice President Kamala Harris upon her victorious return to Oakland, where we were born. The day after I put the two women on the hill, three rays of light came into my abode, and fell upon the canvas, and in the next two days I watched God’s Lightshow. He revealed to me that our Democracy is God Given, and we Americans are charge of the Holy Ark. I wondered about the third ray of light that you can barely see. After watching Amanda Gorden read her poem I found my Third Ray. I made a video of me doing this painting that begins..
“It’s…..The High Noon Show! Do you know where your muse is?”
On this day, God recognizes every Black Person the equal of the Pilgrims who came to America to own Religious Freedom. As a Biblical Scholar, I recognize that as black slaves were captured in Africa, and loaded on ships – the wanted to be free so they can go home. Moses said to Pharough
“Let my people go!”
This blog records my High Noon Prophecy. I never saw my shootout would come in the streets of Belmont. Let me speak for God when I say this, black people in America are above all others descended from those who came her to seek Liberty, because, they most resemble The Children of God. And I heard Amanda deal with this truth, by not lookig down on anyone, but, by turning her face into Te Light of truth, and being eloquent, by being – truthful!
We are living in pure prophecy now. Take some responsibly for getting what we all want! My Rosamond ancestors owned black people and worked them on their plantation in South Carolina. You don’t want to mess with these Scott-Iris Folk. Finally Graham got some backbone, and is backing Democracy!

I wondered if I was dealing with WASPs and did not post on my Wieneke kinfolk who joined the Order of Saint Francis that fled Germany. We supplied the genetic material for this order we gave refuge to. The Ralston home Stuttmeister and Janke got married in became a Catholic college that are found all over the world thus, confining them to the City of Belmont, is no reason to censor me and remove my posts. There are a lot of my kin n this group photo. The group of four are all Wienekes.

Notre Dame de Namur University was founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur as the Academy of Notre Dame in 1851 on 10 acres[7] in San Jose, California. The school was chartered in 1868 as the College of Notre Dame, the first college in the state of California authorized to grant the baccalaureate degree to women. In 1922, the Sisters purchased Ralston Hall, the country estate of William Chapman Ralston, founder of the Bank of California. The college opened its doors in Belmont in 1923.

Yesterday I discovered one of my great grandfathers founded a Turnverein Hall on Bush Street in San Francisco. This hall was a place one could go hear music and practice gymnastics. The Seamens Friendly Union met here, and the Vigilance Committee. Plays were performed, and debates held. This is the radical root of San Francisco that I have traced to the Longshoreman’s Hall and the first Acid Tests. The Turner hall offered music and other entertainment as an alternative to gambling and prostitution. My father was a Merchant Marine and would be pleased to know the first institution for furthering sailor rights met in the Bush hall.
“All seamen are invited to attend at the Turn Verein Hall on Bush Street between Stockton and Powell Streets on Thursday Evening, January 11 at 7 1/2 o’clock to form a Seamens Society for the Pacific Coast.”
The Vigilance Committee combatted corruption and violence. These were idealists that lay the groundwork for a city famous for it cultural revolutions.
“Flaunting their rebellious spirit, the gymnasts of Vormärz wore their hair long and sported large black hats decorated with a rooster feather”
Above are my grandparents having picnic in the Oakland Hills. There is a sharpshooters rifle hanging in the tree. Janke had marksman contests Belmont Park. Many Turnverein were Socialists and Marxists.

If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright.
So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left.
Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one.
We will rise from the golden hills of the West.
We will rise from the windswept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution.
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states.
We will rise from the sun-baked South.
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover.
And every known nook of our nation and every corner called our country, our people diverse and beautiful, will emerge battered and beautiful.
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame and unafraid.
The new dawn balloons as we free it.
For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.

Guardians Of Our Voice
Posted on January 12, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press
Here is the painting I am working on. It is titled ‘Guardians of Our Voice’. I am inspired by the photo of the two women carrying the electoral votes that I just learned were being taken to the Senate Chamber, and not removed. I will have these women coming to the crest of a hill from out of the advancing darkness. They are carrying the Ark of our Democratic Voice. They are like Guardian Angels.
