Notes:

Ada spent some years on the shore of Lake Ripley. After graduating from Albion Academy, she moved with her family to Clyde, Cloud Co., KA, where she taught school for several years. In 1876 she came from Kansas on one of the first immigrant trains to Sacramento, California, then by river steamer to San Francisco. They hung up on a snag and had to wait for high tide to float them off. Arriving in San Francisco she stayed at the Fish home, relatives of Henry Fish. Later she took the boat 'Orizaba' from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, where she stayed with a cousin, Carrie Colby Johnson, at the foot of State Street, Santa Barbara. Later she came to Carpinteria and stayed with another cousin Mate Colby Pearce, who lived behind the Rincon Schoolhouse. The Ogan home at 5191 Ogan Road was built by James S. Ogan for this couple. In it they raised five sons and a daughter. Because Ada had asthma a high ceiling was built in the kitchen. This room is now the living room (2001).
