Two old photographs in the family album were taken in Vevey:
A very ancient town, Vevey already existed in the primitive period of lake dwellers on piles. Later the Romans developed the village, well placed on the shore of Lake Geneva at the junction of the roads from their capital Avenches and from Lausanne, leading to Martigny and from there onwards to Italy.

The Roman town endured Barbarian invasions and became a fortified town in the Middle Ages. In 1257, it passed under the protection of the House of Savoy, then in 1536 submitted to the domination of the Bernese bailiffs.

Numerous Protestants sought refuge in Vevey after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 and contributed to the prosperity of the town.

In 1798, Vevey, like the canton of Vaud, was freed from Bernese domination and became an important town thanks partially to its geographical location but also to its industries and hotelkeeping activities.

Vevey and its neighbour la Tour de Peilz and the nearby villages of Corseaux, Corsier, Chardonne/Mont-Pèlerin, Jongny, St-Lègier/La Chiésaz and Blonay are much appreciated tourist holiday locations.

The region combines the advantages of town and country lifestyles. Walkers can easily reach the surrounding mountains, forests, fields of narcissi and vineyards.

Vevey is a tourist resort located on the shores of Lake Geneva. Surrounded by vineyards and the pre-Alps, this charming town is an ideal departure point for boat or train excursions; 15km floral path, historical-cultural trails, rambles in the vineyards.

Recently promoted to the rank of Swiss multimedia capital and headquarters of Nestlé, Vevey, the home of many celebrities from Charlie Chaplin to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, every 25 years welcomes the celebrated Festival of the Winegrowers.

LOTTIE ADAMS. Mrs. Lottie Adams was born in Burlingame, Kansas, February 21, 1862, and died at the residence of her son, Charles W. Adams 33 Rung st., Dayton, O., Dec 8, 1910, aged 48 years, 9 months and 17 days. Her parents, Joseph and Mary Guizlo, came from Switzerland shortly before the civil war and settled in Kansas. She was the third child in a family of five children, three girls and two boys. On March 15, 1882, she was married to J. R. Adams at Lyndon, Kansas. She and her husband, after living in Kansas one year, came to Xenia where they lived for 20 years. In the spring of 1903 they removed to Dayton, which has been their home from that time until her death, excepting a brief residence in Florida. She became a christain in a revival meeting held in the M. E. church in Xenia soon after removing from Kansas to that city. She at once united with the M. E. church in which she retained her membership until coming to Dayton, when she became a member of the Riverdale U. B. church. From the time of her conversion she lived a devout and faithful christian life. There never was a time when she was not interested in church work, and willing to do according to her strength. For some time she was the acceptable secretary of the ladies aid society of this church, and at the time of her going to Florida was the superintendent of the Home department of the Sunday school. In disposition she was mild, gentle and thoughtful of the rights and feelings of others. Though somewhat retiring in disposition she made warm friends with those with whom she associated. In the last months of her life she was a great sufferer, but her faith and trust in the blessed Savior did not waver. She was resigned to death when it became evident that her disease could not be cured. Indeed, she expressed a desire to depart this life, if she could not fully recover In full consciousness of the fact that death was coming, she spoke often to those about her concerning the change from earth to heaven, and carefully planned for her funeral and burial. Once when speaking of entering heaven, she said she expected the first one to meet her would be her own little Arthur, a son that died when seven years old. From the life that she lived and the testimony of her words we believe she is resting in amid the beautiful and unchanging scenes of paradise. She leaves a husband, a son, two brothers and many friends to mourn her departure. May they find comfort and sustaining grace in the Christ whom she loved and served. W.O FRIES. 12-15
	iv.	Zella Emilene GUIZLO1,145 was born on 12 Nov 1868 in USA, Kansas, Osage Co., Burlingame.306 She died of childbirth complications on 9 Apr 1890 in USA, Kansas, Osage Co., Burlingame.306 At Rest. When spring flowers come again they will blossom in the yellow sunshine over a new made grave where reposes the dust of one who, in life, was among earth's purest and most beloved mortals. Death came to the one of whom we speak at a time when life seemed full of promise--when the end of that which we call earthly joy seemed afar off. The death to which we refer is that of Mrs. Zella Hile, wife of Frank Hile, of this city, which occurred yesterday afternoon at her home in the south part of town. As many of our readers know, a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Hile last Sabbath morning. The advent of this little one was hailed with joy, but the gladness with which it was welcomed into the household soon changed to sorrow because of the death of the mother. The deceased was born in this city November 12th, 1868, making her twenty-one years of age her last birthday. She was united in marriage with Mr. Frank Hile, December 19th, 1888. All of her life was passed in Burlingame. She was born and grew to womanhood, was married and died in the home of her parents. From her earliest childhood Zella was a favorite in this community, and after she had grown to womanhood and enlarged her acquaintance she was esteemed where ever known. When she was married the best wishes of our people were extended to her and her husband and a long, prosperous wedded life was predicted for them. But alas! it was not to be; and we can only bow our heads to-day in humble submission and say: "God's will be done." And although she is gone we still have the memory of her beautiful, kindly face and ever gentle presence, which will live long in all of our hearts. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock, the interment being in the Burlingame cemetery. She was buried on 10 Apr 1890 in USA, Kansas, Osage Co., Burlingame, Burlingame Cemetery.306 Hile, Zella E, d. 9 Apr 1890, aged 21yr 5mo 28days, wife of Frank Burlingame City Cemetery Burlingame, Osage County, Kansas Contributed by Jean Pinick, Dec 19, 2000 [pirera@aol.com].
