"Pleasant Party and Dance."
"Last Friday evening a pleasant party and dance was given by Henry and Chris Twisselman and Jim Eiland at the latter's residence on the P. I. Co.'s ranch. Among those present were . . . Rebecca Biscarro . . . Eva Biscarro . . . Mary Biscarro . . . Anna Biscarro . . . About 12 o'clock Mrs. Claus Twisselman and Mrs. James Eiland served a splendid supper, of which the merry dancers ate for an hour or more. The coffee, made and served by Mr. Twisselman, was of rare flavor and lasted about as long as ice ordinarily does on a summer's day. A song by the Misses Biscarro was followed by Lee Parsons in a comical dissertation, when dancing was resumed and continued until the early morn. It was voted one of the most enjoyable gatherings of the year."

newspaper Obituary "exact source unknown" probable Gonzales Tribune, April 1971:
"Saturday for Mrs. Bane"
"Final tribute will be paid to another of Monterey County's old-timers, Saturday morning at 10, when funeral services, conducted by the Rev. Rino Spada, will be held at the Ree C. Grim Chapel for Rebecca Faviana Bane, who died Tuesday night, after a long illness, at Katherine's Convalescent Hospital in Salinas.

Born in 1880 in Gonzales, Mrs. Bane was a descendant of an early California family, her grandfather, Juan Gonzales, having been majordomo and administrator of the Santa Cruz Mission from 1834 - '39 and Juz in 1842. One of his nine daughters, Tomasa, who married Pedro Biscarro of Castile, was Rebecca's mother. Pedro had come from Spain to Mexico, then to Texas, which he left as a drover with a herd of cattle for California, eventually settling in Gonzales.

In 1900 Rebecca married William Bane, the wedding taking place in the parlor of the Jeffrey House in Salinas. For years, the couple resided in King City, where Will was employed at the nearby Spreckels ranch. In later years, however, when their children, Myrtle and Teddy, had grown and gone on their own, the Banes moved to the old Leon Gil place, which they had purchased in the Nacimiento Valley.

Calling it "Las Potrancas" they opened their doors to summer guests - authors, artists and local folk - who always found rest and relaxation there. Entertainment, too, for the gracious, lively Rebecca, perfect hostess, was also an able entertainer, ready to oblige with Spanish songs to her own accompaniment on the guitar.

But the ranch life of the Banes came to an end with the advent of Hunter Liggett Military Reservation, and obliged to sell to the government, they returned to their home in King City. Shortly after, in 1943, Will Bane died.

Also preceding Mrs. Bane in death was her son, Teddy, whose death occurred in 1957. Surviving her are Mrs. Myrtle Haskell of Santa Rosa, a daughter; Eva Wayne of Alameda, a sister; five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Rosary will be said for her Friday night at 8 o'clock in the Ree C. Grim Chapel, and following the funeral services, Saturday, burial will be in the King City cemetery. Pallbearers are Frank Taylor, John Algers, Fred Freetag, Dan Hayes, Harry ..."
