Westwood Independent
Westwood, California
Obituary Index for 1917-1919
Westwood, located
25 miles east of Susanville, the Lassen County seat, was established in 1912,
though it would take two years before the majority of the town was
constructed. Westwood began as the
Company town of the Red River Lumber Company.
In 1944 Red River sold its mill and town to the Fruit Growers Supply
Company. In 1956, Fruit Growers closed
the mill and sold the townsite.
The Westwood Independent was the town's first newspaper, and made its debut
on July 4, 1917. The last issue
available was that of December 30, 1919. The paper suspended operations in early 1920 and in May 1920 it was
succeeded by the Westwood Sugar Pine.
*Denotes death of a resident, former
resident or relative of a Westwood resident occurred outside of Lassen County.
