Glen Alan Cawelti
    Westwood resident Glen Alan Cawelti passed from this life unexpectedly at his residence Monday, June 22, 2009.
    Born 52 years ago in Ventura, to California natives Raymond and Marlene (Palmer) Cawelti, at the age of 10 he and his family moved to Terra Bella. Glen was raised and educated there, graduating from Porterville High School as a member of the class of 1974, where he competed in waterpolo, swimming and was a member of the FFA.
    Glen’s love of the outdoors brought him to Westwood eight years ago from Bakersfield. He established a career with Amerigas as a service technician.
    Glen was an avid outdoorsman who found great pleasure in hunting, fishing, camping, boating and riding his quad. He loved to spend time with his family and would always be there to help when one was in need.
    In passing Glen leaves his daughter Megan Cawelti of Strathmore; mother Marlene Cawelti of Bakersfield; brother Gregory L. Cawelti; wife Kathie; son Ian and daughter Isabel, all of Monterey; sister Carole E. Brakebill of Bakersfield, and three nephews and two nieces.
    He joins his father in their eternal home with the Lord.

Wilbert Tobias Miller
    Wilbert T. “Wib” Miller, born on April 20, 1923, to Tessie and Fred Miller in Portage, Wis., died Friday, June 26, 2009, at the Long Term Care Unit of Seneca Health Care District. He was 86.
    Wib graduated from Portage High School in Wisconsin and attended the University of Montana, earning a degree in forestry in 1950.
    He served in the army during World War II, in the Middle East Service Command, in Egypt. He climbed the Great Pyramid in his off duty hours.
    His first employment was with Winton Lumber Company in Jackson, where he worked under head forester Warren Carlton.
    Wib married Julia Anne “Julie” Bastiani April 18, 1952, in Jackson. They moved to Chester shortly thereafter with all their worldly possessions packed in a horse trailer. Wib supervised the construction of their home at 240 Maywood Dr., where they lived for the next several decades. He retired as dry kiln supervisor from Collins Pine Lumber Company in 1986.
    Wib loved hunting and fishing almost as much as he loved antique hunting and collecting. Living in Chester allowed him to pursue both pastimes, and he was proficient at each. He was a charter member of the Chester Community United Methodist Church and served as a director for the Plumas County Museum for some 20 years.
    Wib was preceded in death by his wife Julie. He is survived by his two sons, Douglas Miller and John Miller, John’s spouse Tonya and their daughter, Wib’s granddaughter Molly, several cousins and many friends.
    A memorial service will take place Saturday, July 11, at 1 p.m. at the Community United Methodist Church, Glenwood Dr., Highway 36, in Chester. A time of sharing and refreshment will follow the service in the church social hall.
