"MRS. STOLP OF PIEDMONT DIES. [photograph of "Mrs. Addie Stolp"]
Mrs. Addie Harlan Stolp, prominent Piedmont society leader, member of a pioneer California family, and in her younger days a famous beauty, died last night at the family home, 103 Montecello Avenue, Piedmont.
She was a widow of Fred A. Stolp, former insurance executive and club-man, who died June 13, 1932, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Harlan, whose ranch home between Danville and Dublin, built 83 years ago, first frame home in Contra Costa County, still stands.
Joel Harlan and his wife crossed the plains from Kentucky [sic] in 1846, three years before the gold rush, to settle in the San Ramon Valley, where they held properties in addition to the Dublin ranch of 2000 acres, on which Mrs. Stolp was born, and which was the scene of many hospitable gatherings in the old ranching days. It is still the property of the Harlan family.
Mrs. Stolp, noted for her interest in various charitable affairs, and also as an amateur psychologist, had a wide circle of friends, whom she was fond of entertaining with typical southern hospitality.
She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Carmen Stolp Hemrich Geldermann of Piedmont; a grandson, Harlan Stolp Hemrich; two sisters, Mrs. Mary H. Llewellyn and Mrs. Helene H. Osborn; and two brothers, Fred and Elisha Harlan.
Services will be held Wednesday afternoon at the Chapel of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Avenue [in Oakland]."
