Born in a small adobe house on the ranchhomes teaded by her father in the Paleto Hills, at Pattiway, KernCounty, California on 21 Januar y 1900. She died in Bakersfield, KernCounty on 1 November 1981.

Zulo is buried inthe Protestant Cemetery, Tehachapi , Kern County, beside Dewey.

Zulo EMERSON's father, is a member of an early pioneer family. Hergrand-father Edward Simps on Emerson arrived in California on a trampsteamer, named Tennessee in the year 1851, and he r grand-mother JuliaAnn DUNBAR was only 12 years old when her family came to California ont he overland trail by covered-wagon through the Donner Pass in thefall of 1849. Her Grand-mo ther Julia Ann states that she walked mostof the way switching the oxen to keep them going.

Her father left the ranch soon after she was born and moved toBakersfield. They purchase d a home and lived on 'K' street, but onlya short time, for in 1902, Elmie her mother purcha sed 80 acres nearPanama School shortly after they moved there. Her father had built alarg e home for them and Zulo lived there until she left to go toCollege (UCLA). There were ver y few farms in the area near theirfarm the social life was dances at the old Panama dance ha ll. Manytimes she said her sisters and brother would get dressed up and Waldo,her brothe r would drive them too the dance in a buggy. When she wentto High School she boarded in tow n because it was to far to commuteby wagon. As Zulo completed her last year in High Schoo l she wrotein her book.

I will include here what she wrote. "As the class prophecy is givento me in the Oracle, I w ill use this space as a place to record whathappens to me and the other members of my clas s and also my friends.

June 1919 Which meant to me a long rest from my year of study. 21st,Vena McKee and I gav e a dance at Panama. It was a success and allhad a good time.

Rosie R. was given a fare well party at her home. She has taken upnursing and is getting he r education in a hospital in San Francisco.July: was hot and passed with no social events . August: Changed myplans about normal, in Santa Barbara and the last week in this monthfo und me in the south spending a happy vacation with Hester (Hesteris Arthur Dewey Tallman's f irst cousin) and Virginia. September: Ahasty preparation for dear old K.C. again, only I a m in College worknow and feel real big. Several of our class, have returned.

Next morning finds me at the beginning of the end of my school term.I was sick with a col d and had to pull myself through the morningwork because I wanted to go to the game. Just b efore time to getready I had to go to bed.

Went back to school after a weeks rest and fought hard to catch up butevery day got harder a nd after two weeks struggle, I stopped. Soweak I could hardly stand up. It was hard to sto p but could not goon.

Thanksgiving 1919: Hester TALLMAN and Virginia were both guests at myhome. What a jolly tim e we had together.

January 1, 1920, I started off to the Mts. to help Waldo with hisfarming. (this was her bro ther and the Mountains, the Paleto Hillsand the ranch). February 16: That is to-day and a m all by myself,Waldo is building fence. The mountain air has been very good for meand I a m my old self again,. If not stronger. Virginia is with herbrother in Reedly. She is assi stant to a dancing teacher. I am gladbecause she loves that work. Hester is going to
Whittier College. She will be ready for Santa Barbara next year.Charlotte N. is going to B erkeley. This gives me joy for that iswhat she wanted more then any thing.

We have our studies and ourselves about settled in school and thequestion at hand now is Ame ndment 12 this is a turning point orclimax in the lives of the three of us and many others . If thisamendment doesn't carry successfully we will be forced to put away ourambitions f or college and find some means of being independent now.The excitement is all over Amendmen t 12 failed but was so close thatthe legislature have decided to help us out. We hope the y keep theirword. (they must have for all three stayed in college).
