Thank you to Moke Hill for another successful 4th of July. I hope everyone had fun. We all missed Cathy Bourland not being here. She said it was the first 4th of July she missed in 30 years. Let's hope she makes it back here next year. The Fire Association still has some Moke Hill hats, t-shirts, reuseable grocery bags, magnets and postcards left.

At the Mokelumne Hill Town Hall at 1:00 PM, on Sunday, April 25, friends of Jeff Tuttle, DA of Calaveras County and one of Moke Hill’s most beloved sons, will gather for refreshments, companionship, music, and storytelling --- all dedicated to Jeff’s memory. There will be a viewing the day before at San Andreas Memorial Chapel, Saturday, April 24, from 10 AM to 4 PM.

Hello everyone,

The memorial service for Jeff Tuttle will begin at 1pm Sunday, April 25, at the Mokelumne Hill Town Hall.

Since there will probably be more guests than the Town Hall can accommodate, Jeff's family asked Ron and Jane to provide a viewing option at the Hotel Leger.

The entire community stands in mourning along with the Richard Tuttle family at the death this week-end of Mokelumne Hill son, Jeff Tuttle.

More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Julia Costello’s house in Mokelumne Hill sits two-and-a-half hours and 130 miles from the nearest of California’s many Spanish missions.

Not the most likely place for the historian to pen her most recent book: “The California Missions,” a volume critics call an “authoritative” guide to the Golden State’s iconic adobe religious compounds.

Romita Swanson, a native Californian and long time resident of Calaveras County passed away peacefully at her home on January 31, 2010, with family and friends present. She was active in the Mokelumne Hill community and local organizations for many years, particularly the Mokelumne Hill Women's Club, Community Club, and Girl Scouts.
