George Papineau - Francitas Bee, December 29, 1910  George Papineau George Papineau, one of the very first citizens of Francitas, that is in time of residence, in the estimation of the citizens and in industry, and get-up-and-get, is always a booster. Mr. Papineau came down from Custer county, Nebraska, and upon his arrival, there was a load of brick and a little jag of lumber, and the section house upon the ground. He was under contract to hustle up and make a town of some proportions of the material at hand and do it quick. He superintended the construction of the five cottages, the Nebraska Inn, the canning factory, the lumber yard, the Gibson store and the office of Schwind and Maher. All this he did before the opening of Francitas to settlement. Since then Mr. Papineau has been busy contracting, having built the first house at Deutschburg, as well as many of the houses of this city. His is an industrious family. More people like them are wanted.

S. C. Holton - Francitas Bee, December 29, 1910  S. C. Holton S. C. Holton and his three boys--they make a team. Mr. Holton is in the development business and started in with the town and he has done a good business. He has had many years experience in the fruit orchards of California and thoroughly understands his business. It is his opinion candid that Francitas soil is especially adapted to the growing of fruit; because of his great faith he contracts to deliver the trees bearing. He is one of the most optimistic men in all this great district, and the man with the blues will have them chased by talking to him. Francitas Bee, November 23, 1911 Francitas Bee,
