WAGNER, Daniel January 25, 1913 Mariposa Gazette

      Daniel WAGNER, a pioneer citizen of Coulterville, passed away on Sunday morning, January 19th, at his late home in that town. He had been in poor health for some months and his death was not unexpected.
      Mr. WAGNER was born in Ritterhofen, at that time part of France, on December 5, 1858, and was therefore seventy-six years of age at the time of his death. He was a member of a family of five who together emigrated to America in 1858. Chas. WAGNER of Greeley Hill is now the only surviving one of that number. Daniel WAGNER lived for a time in Rochester, New York, but soon moved westward, arriving in California in 1859.
      Settling in Coulterville in its early period he was at once recognized as a man capable of doing things and many of the problems and burdens of the infant town were laid upon his shoulders. Imbued with strong sentiments of public spiritedness he never wavered, be the charge ever so heavy, if the welfare of the town was at stake and this characteristic was noticeable throughout his long career even to the day of his death.
      His active mind it was that first conceived the feasibility of a wagon road into Yosemite and `twas his generosity that financed the initial steps in the enterprise. The Coulterville road into Yosemite owes its existence to the progressiveness of Mr. WAGNER, who inaugurated the enterprise that was completed by the late Dr. McLEAN. Mr. WAGNER, using a buggy without the protection of a brake to demonstrate the safety of the road. , headed the party that first entered Yosemite by wheeled conveyance.
      He was in early times engaged in the hotel business in Coulterville but abandoned that calling after the destruction by fire of his place of business, which occupied a site on Stockton street near the location of his family''s present home. The Wagner hotel was the scene of pleasant social gatherings and a rendezvous for visiting miners in the days gold flowed freely before quartz mining displaced the placer claims with their easily washed out treasure.
      So well and favorably known in Mariposa and neighboring counties was the subject of this sketch that eulogy seems unnecessary. By his death Coulterville suffers a loss of a leader, upright, just and sincere. Many hearts will mourn besides those of the grief stricken family, consisting of the widow, Mrs. Elizabeth WAGNER, and her son and daughter, Joseph BROOKS and Mrs. H. HOGER of Coulterville, to whom he was a devoted father while to his wife he was a kind and indulgent husband.
      Daniel WAGNER was a prominent Mason and under the auspices of that order the funeral will be held to-day, from I. O. O. F. hall in Coulterville. It will be attended by many people from the outside.

DOMENICONI, Mrs. Amelia February 1, 1913 Mariposa Gazette

Obituary.

      A pathetic duty again devolves upon us when we are called to chronicle the passing from this life of Mrs. Amelia DOMINICONI, who died at Oakland, Friday, January 24th, 1913.
      In writing this we realize that anything we might say in eulogy of this noble woman would seem but feeble utterances of respect when read by those who knew her best, as her life was ever that of a pure Christian woman, ever sacrificing to those who were near and dear to her, a dutiful daughter, a loving and devoted wife and a fond and affectionate mother.
      She was born in Big Oak Flat, Tuolumne county, in 1856, and was a daughter of the late G. GAZZOLO, old and highly respected residents of Coulterville, at which place her girlhood life was passed.
      As Amelia GAZZOLO, the subject of this obituary was married in 1876 to A. S. DOMENICONI, a prominent business man of San Francisco, who died in 1888, leaving to her motherly care four children, three of whom survive her.
      San Francisco's disastrous fire in 1906, caused Mrs. DOMENICONI heavy losses, and since that time has resided with her children in San Anselmo, Marin County. She had suffered from ill health for the past two years, and was in Oakland for medical treatment when death came to remove her from loving relatives.
      Her surviving children are two daughters, Lenore and Natalia, and one son, Albert.
      Besides a mother and children already mentioned she leave surviving four sisters and a brother, Mrs. Lydia BUCHENAU, Oakland; Mrs. Lena MAZE, Lathrop; Mrs. Lenora DEPAULI, Coulterville; Mrs. May STEVENSON, Bakersfield, and James S. GAZOLLO of Coulterville.

Fell to His Death.

Climbing up the gorge of Snow creek, in the Yosemite National Park, on Tuesday last, Ausswtin R. POHIL, a student of the University of California., slipped on a spray drenched boulder and fell more then 100 feet to his death. With his college mates, Kenneth L. BLANCHARD and Leland FORESTER of San Francisco, and R. E. BUNDEL of Oakland, POHIL started to climb Tenaya canyon. Beyond Mirror lake they passed the new and safe trail built up the mountains, and, instead, followed the stream. The canyon at this point is so clouded with spray that it is almost impossible to see. They at last gained the brink of the ledge, when, suddenly, young POHIL missed his footing. Instantly he was hurled over the falls, striking on the rocks, and dashed into the stream. His companions risked their lives several times trying to recover the body. Then one of them rushed to the village of Yosemite, where Major T. L. LITTLEBRAND, superintendent of the park, at once sent a detail of the United States cavalry, accompanied by several Indian guides, to search for the missing body, which at a late hour was recovered by park guards.

      Mr. STERNE was removed from Mariposa to the Berkeley home of the family three weeks prior to his death in order that he be given medical attention and a few days later was taken to the Roosevelt hospital to be operated upon for a abscess of the liver. Although in a very weakened condition he was recovering from this trouble when other complications set in and though given every possible attention by the best of skilled specialist and nurses, his life could not be saved.
      Joseph Amador STERNE was born in Hite's Cove, this county, about 40 years ago and almost his entire life was spent here. He was a miner by occupation and for the past few years has been engaged in that industry at Sherlocks.
      To mourn his death he leaves a mother, Mrs. E. M. STERNE, and six sisters, Misses Mary, Katheryn, Libbie, Julia and Lucy STERNE of Berkeley and Mrs. W. E. GALLISON of Mariposa, and one brother, Stanley R. STERNE of Berkeley.
      The remains were shipped to Mariposa on Tuesday, internment being in the Mariposa cemetery above town at 1:30 p.m. of that day.
      Services were conducted by the Rev. W. A. LINDSEY of Mariposa and were listened to by a large number of friends of the deceased and his surviving relatives.

KEMP, George February 7, 1914 Mariposa Gazette

In Memoriam.

      DIED- In Coulterville, January 29th, 1914, George W. KEMP, aged 20 years.
      What a world of sorrow those few short words convey. Death in any guise inspires awe and regret but when it strikes down the young in the flower of promise bitter indeed is the sting.
      In appreciation of the worth of this sterling character who has passed from our midst fain would the undersigned add a tribute of words expressive of his exemplary qualities. But when regret strikes too deeply words take wing leaving only a desolate blankness, a questioning sorrow, why oh, why was he called? Faith makes answer: "God's will be done." Why presume we to question infinite wisdom?
      To the writer of this article the death of George KEMP is in the nature of a personal loss. Since his early boyhood, as his near neighbor, I have met and spoken with him almost daily and in the years of this friendship with increasing acquaintance came likewise added respect and admiration. His disposition was of the kindest. His face reflected the beauty of his soul and was fair to look upon. His daily greeting was a a benediction, soothing even in those days when he and we knew that death was battling to conquer. With the heart of a child he went forth to meet his God.
      In Coulterville where all but his first few years were spent George KEMP was a universal favorite. Up to the time he was stricken about twenty months ago with the illness that resulted in his death he was a leader in all boyish activities. The influence of his example worked a silent but lasting effect on his companions and his place in the community will be hard to fill. The world has need of many such as he.
      George KEMP was well known throughout Mariposa and adjoining counties. Since the death of his father two years ago he has assisted in the management of the Coulterville Soda Works and showed business ability that gave promise of a successful career.
      A Father all kind has called him and may the sorrowful mourners have strength and resignation looking forward to that reunion which knows no farewell.
     E. BOLTON.

GAZZOLO, Mrs. Maria February 28, 1914 Mariposa Gazette

In Memoriam.

      Died- In Coulterville, February 17, 1914, Mrs. Maria GAZZOLO, aged 79 years, 4 months and 1 day.
      A portrayal of the manifold virtues of this estimable woman is beyond my humble pen and the limitations of space at my disposal. Columns might be written and the half not then he told. Leaving the reader who knew her lovely character to supply from memory what is lacking I submit the following brief sketch as a garland of loving words to her memory.
      Mrs. GAZZOLO was born in Genoa, Italy October 16, 1834. Her maiden name was COMMISSIANA and she was one of seven sisters. In 1855 she married to Giacomo GAZZOLO and the couple emigrated to America settling in Big Oak Flat, then one of the largest mining camps in California. In 1857 they moved to Coulterville where the family home has since that time been. The wedded life of Mr. and Mrs. GAZZOLO, through its course of over a half a century, was ideal as befitted faithful followers of Christ. In such beautiful harmony were they united that as I write of the one lately taken strongly manifest is the personality of the other for truly as one were they till death dissolved the union five years ago. They trod together through paths thorny and fair with God's love in their hearts, unbounded charity in their hands. Now in mansions of light together they reap their reward.
      Mrs. GAZZOLO was an invalid for many years previous to her death but so tender and skillful was her care that time and again the Angel of Death was vanquished and the loved one spared yet longer. The end was peaceful and in death her features were beautiful unmarred by the change which all must undergo.
      Mrs. GAZZOLO was ever a devout and faithful member of the Catholic church. Before her health failed she was an active worker and did much for the cause of religion in Coulterville. Mr. and Mrs. GAZZOLO were never happier than when entertaining in their cheerful home bishop or priest, who found occasion to visit the town in the discharge of duty.
      Mrs. GAZZOLO was buried on Thursday at 2 o'clock from the Catholic church. In spite of the heavy rain her funeral was the largest and most impressive in many years.

BUCHENAU of Fresno, Mrs. W. M. MAZE of Berenda, Mrs. J. STENESON of Bakersfield, Mrs. L. K. DEPAULI and James S. GAZZOLO of Coulterville.

Herself the highest type of womanhood she instilled into their young minds all that was good and true and was rewarded by sons and daughters of whom she could be justly proud. Beesides the children and grand children, four sisters are left to mourn. They are Mrs. COMMISSIONA of Coulterville, Mrs. SANGUINETTI of Merced, Mrs. BRUSHI of LaGrange and Mrs. SEREMENA of Napa.

In Memoriam.

Born, April 29, 1877. Died, March 21, 1914, Mrs. Henry GANN, of Green Mountain, Mariposa County, Cal.
The above words mark the earthly closing, but the eternal living of a woman, respected and loved by all who knew her.

                  There is no death! the stars go down
                      To rise upon some further shore;
                  And bright in heaven's jeweled crown
                      They shine for evermore.

                  There is no death! the dust we tread
                       Shall change beneath the summer showers
                  To golden grain and mellowed fruits
                       Or rainbow tinted flowers.

                  There is no death! the leaves may fall
                       And flowers may fade and pass away
                  They only wait thri wintry hours
                       The coming of May.

                  There is no death! an angel form
                       Walks o'er the earth in solemn tread
                  He bears our best loved things away
                       And then, we call them "dead."

                  Where'er he sees a smile to bright,
                       Or hearts to pure for taint and vice
                  He bears it to that world of light
                       To dwell in paradise.

                  And ever hear usm tho' unseen,
                       The dear immortal spirits tread,
                  For all the boundless universe
                       In life-there are no dead.

      On Saturday night, march 21, in the presence of a loving husband, weeping children, friends and medical aid, the death Angel claimed the spirit of the beloved mother and her dear little babe.
      "Like a snowdrop it drifted down to the earth, and staid just a few hours from the time of its birth."
      Words cannot picture the sorrow and heartache of the babies and loved ones who are left without the mother's care, and our hearts throb with pity for the desolated home. But God thought best and a Higher Power than man held away and within a few short hours the mother and babe were with God.
      Mrs. GANN was a Christian woman, a good and nobel character, and was a member of the Methodist church.
      Internment was in Whiterock cemetery on Monday, March 23, at 1 o'clock. A large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends attended the funeral, thus paying the last tribute of respect to the memory of the departed one. The casket was hidden from view by the beautiful floral offerings. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. RUBUSH, the Methodist pastor.
      Besides a loving husband the following children are left to mourn her death: Mrs. John LIGHT, Mrs. James SCURLOCK, Henry, Robert, Amos, Elias, Clyde, William, Naomi, Julisa, Mary and Emma GANN.
      The grief stricken family have the deep sympathy of relatives and friends in their hour of sadness. May they be more resigned to the will of God if they can only think that-
                   Here is the sorrow, the sighing,
                      Here are the clouds and the night
                   Here is the sickness, the dying,
                      There are the life and the light,
                   Here are the heart strings a tremble,
                      And there the chastening rod;
                   There is the song and the cymbal
                      And there is our Father and God.
     A Friend.

Thus enchained he was taken for a circuit of the city, and registered at all of the newspaper offices, at some of the hotels and at the jail, Cowbells heralded the coming procession, and the sight was viewed by many.- Californian.

CORNELL, Sheriff S. C. June 6, 1914 Mariposa Gazette

SHERIFF S. C. CORNELL.
A Short Review of the Life of the Dead Sheriff.

The following touching tribute to the memory of the late S. C. CORNELL, Sheriff of Merced county, and a native of Mariposa county, who died in Merced on May 27, 1914, is taken from the Merced Sun of June 28th.

      "News of Mr. CORNELL'S death was flashed around town, and the community was inexpressibly shocked. Hardly any one had even heard of the sheriff's sickness, and those who did had not dreamed of the critical nature of the case. Everyone who knew him, and that meant nearly all of Merced county, was Sam CORNELL'S friend. He was as open hearted, and generous, and genial and honest, and manly as the day is long. His ear ever harkened to the call of distress and his time and purse were ever at the service of his friends. Little wonder, then that there was a stifled choke in everyone's voice as the word was passed, "Sam CORNELL is dead."
      "Samuel Counts CORNELL was born in Coulterville, July 22, 1868. He was therefore in his forty-sixth year. He was the son of George CORNELL and Susan Margaret COUNTS. The father died when Sam was a young boy, and later his mother was wedded to Rev. J. M. ALSANSON, a minister of the M. E. Church, South. Sam's boyhood was then passed at the various charges of his step-father. Some of these were Yuba City, Elmira, the Linden circuit in San Joaquin county, Modesto, Ukiah, and Butte City. In October, 1885, Rev. ALSANSON brought his family to Merced, including Mrs. ALSANSON, and their children, Sam CORNELL and Miss Lucy ALSANSON. Mr. ALSANSON was called to the pastorate of Bethel M. E. Church, South. Sam CORNELL'S residence in Merced dates from that time. As a boy of 17, he worked for a time in the grocery store of O. H. TERRELL located in a frame building on the present site of the Central hotel. Later Mr. CORNELL became freight agent for the Southern Pacific and served in that capacity while J. F. CARISTON, the Oakland banker, held the job as ticket agent. Next we find Mr. CORNELL serving as assistant cashier of the Merced Bank. Later he entered the clothing business in partnership with O. M. OLIVER. Mr. CORNELL then became superintendent of the county hospital, serving in that capacity several years. He then opened an insurance office in partnership with A. L. SILMAN at the same time filling the position of district manager of the telephone company. Prior to his appointment as hospital superintendent, Mr. CORNELL served five terms as city clerk. He was elected city trustee in 1906 and served until 1910, the latter part of the term being mayor of the city. In 1910 he was elected sheriff and he has had no opposition this year for re-election.
      "In all of these positions Mr. CORNELL'S service was characterized by ability and fidelity. He was always a staunch democrat, and for years and at the time of his death represented Merced county on the democratic state central committee.
      "On the 10th of May, 1893, Mr. CORNELL was united in marriage to Miss Jessie Alice WILLS of Cathey Valley. To this happy union two sons were born, who with their mother are left to mourn. They are Wilmer Wills CORNELL, a student at the University of California, and Nathan Lucious CORNELL, who lives at home. Mr. CORNELL'S sister, Mrs. Lucy Alsanson SMITH, is a teacher in the state normal school at San Francisco.
      Mr. CORNELL was a member of Merced Lodge, No. 1240, B. P. O. Elks; the Woodmen of the World; Yosemite Parlor, No. 24, N. S. G. W. , and an honorary member of El Capitan Hose Company No. 1."
      The funeral of the dead Sheriff took place in Merced Saturday and was one of the largest funerals ever held there. The services at the M. E. Church were impressive and the attendance proved the great esteem in which he was held. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful in the extreme. The "Sun" of Monday last says:
      "The procession to the cemetery was remarkably long. There were about seventy automobiles and a line of carriages extending many blocks. The remains were laid to rest beside those of his mother, and after the prayer and benediction, the flowers were piled high on his grave.

COVEL, Alice June 20, 1914 Mariposa Gazette

IN MEMORIAM.

      O Death, thou lovest the beautiful! But why, in your search for the fairest, must you shatter hearts already under a weight of woe? Would naught but loviness superlative satisfy thy cruel hand? Or was it because in your wisdom you saw what we could not and mercifully took her? Life at its best holds more of sorrow than of joy.
      Buoyed with the expectancy of a journey to the home of her childhood, dear little Alice COVEL was suddenly called to her final home last Wednesday morning, at St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco.
      The circumstances attending the little girl's death were sad in the extreme. The father has been in very delicate health for some time and both parents were in Coulterville where it was hoped Mr. COVEL would recuperate. Alice was to have joined them Tuesday, her thirteenth birthday. Preparations were being made for the happy event but instead of celebrating her birthday with dear ones on earth loved, ones gone before were waiting to receive her. She died on the day following.
      The sad news of her death was a shock to the entire community as she was apparently in good health, although some months ago she had been under the care of a physician.
      Sunday she was indisposed but no alarm was felt until she gradually grew worse lapsing into unconsciousness Tuesday morning. Her mother hastened to her bedside but ten minutes before her arrival Alice had answered the Master's call.
      Alice Imelda COVEL was born in Coulterville, June 9, 1901. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James M. COVEL and grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John HALLIMAN of Coulterville.
      She removed with her family to San Francisco about five years ago, but still retained warmest love for the town of her birth. Her visits here were the source of greatest pleasure to her. She did not accompany her parents when they left the city, remaining to complete the term of school and had received honorary promotion. Alice was beloved by all who knew her. She was the light of the home being of a particularly sunny and lovable disposition. Mr. and Mrs. COVEL are truly deserving of sympathy for in their wedded life of sixteen years they have borne more than their share of sorrow. Of the six children from the union only two remain- Gerald, aged five and Mary, aged fifteen months. Other children are, James, William, and Alice COVEL, Mrs. J. H. CONVERSE and Horation G. KELLETT.
      Alice was a regular attendant of the Sunday school of Corpus Christa church and a member of the "Holy Angels' Solidity."
      Services were held in San Francisco Thursday and the remains brought to Coulterville for internment. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas HALLINAN. The pall bearers were: Harry SERVILLE, Allen HAIGH, John KEMP, Clifford MURPHY, Renaldo SEGALE and Clarence REESE. Honorary pall bearers were: Verna REESE, Rechetta CASELLA, Gladys HOPE, Margaret ONETA, Una GARBARINO and Anna KENNAH. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, But the flowers, fair as they were, were less lovely than the sweet child slumbering in their midst.

               "Not ours to know the reason why unanswered is our prayer.
                 But ours to wait for God's own time to lift the cross we bear.
               Not ours of know the reason why from loved ones we must part;
                But ours to watch in faith and hope, tho' breaking be the heart.

Not ours to know, Aye, learn it well, it is the Master's way.

                They serve him best who ask not why, who live but to obey."

HARRIS, Stonewall Jackson July 4, 1914 Mariposa Gazette

STONEWALL JACKSON HARRIS.
Funeral Held Sunday and was Largely Attended.

      The funeral of Stonewall Jackson HARRIS, who was killed in the railroad wreck on the Yosemite Valley railroad on Thursday night of last week, was held from the M. E. Church in Mariposa on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The services were conducted by the Rev. W. A. LINDSEY. Internment was had in the public cemetery and the remains were followed to their last resting place by a large number of friends of deceased.
      Stonewall Jackson HARRIS was a native of Mariposa County, aged 50 years, 6 months and 27 days, being born on the Pratt ranch, near Pea Ridge, December 28, 1863, and almost his entire life has been spent in this county.
      Mr. HARRIS was a surveyor by profession and ranked high in his chosen calling, and was a graduate of the A. Van Der Vailen School of Engineering.
      He first came to prominence in this county in 1886 when he was a candidate for the office of County Surveyor, being elected by a large majority. With the exception of one term he has filled this office continually since that time. Later he became the editor and proprietor of the Mariposa News, a newspaper published in this town.
      One of Mr. HARRIS' fondest hopes was to see the completion of a road from Mariposa to Yosemite Valley. In 1888 he was chief engineer on the survey road between these points and spent much time and large sums of money in an effort towards building this road. The survey made last summer, in which he took an active interest, was made in a great part over the grade formerly surveyed by him.
      Mr. HARRIS a was an expert timber cruiser and realized more than any other man the value of timber land in this county, By reason of his ability in this line he amassed considerable wealth through various sales and at one time he held options on practically all the land now owned by the Yosemite Lumber Company. He was one of the foremost men in this county, and no deal that pointed towards the upbuilding of Mariposa county was had without the name of S. J. HARRIS being prominently mentioned with it. Not only were his operations confined to this county, but he opened offices in San Francisco, Stockton, and other cities, his sole purpose being to boost the resources of his county.
      A short time since Mr. HARRIS disposed of his property interests in this county intending to devote his time to his valuable holdings situated- near Lodi, and it was on his way to this property that he met his untimely death.
      On October 18, 1993, Mr. HARRIS was married to Miss Ada I. NEWELL at Jerseydale, the result of this happy union being two children, a son, Paul N. HARRIS, and a daughter, Miss Ruth HARRIS, who with their mother are left to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father. Other relatives are an aged mother, Mrs. N. J. HARRIS, and two sisters, Mrs. A. E. DART of San Luis Obispo and Mrs. B. L. RICHARDS of Richmond, who have the sympathy of all in their great bereavement.

HENDRICKS, William July 4, 1914 Mariposa Gazette

YOUNG MAN SUICIDES.
William HENDRICKS Ends Life After Lovers Quarrel.

      William HENDRICKS, a young man who resided with his parents on the Grosjean ranch, near Indian Peak, committed suicide in Stockton last Saturday by shooting himself in the breast with a revolver, dying a few hours later. Regarding the affair the Stockton Mail of June 27th says:
      With three bullets in his body, one of which is supposed to have hit his heart, William HENDRICKS, a man about 30 years of age, lies at the emergency hospital this afternoon and the physicians who are doing everything possible for the patient are of the opinion that he cannot live many hours. The man's relatives in Mariposa county have been notified.
      A lover's quarrel is responsible for HENDRICKS condition, according to a statement made to the officials by the man before he was conveyed to the hospital.
      HENDRICKS had been out to see Miss Nellie DOWD, living on the 2600 block East Church Street, and it appears that the two were preparing to go to the picnic at Oak Park and quarreled. HENDRICKS left the house and had gone only a block when he shot himself.
      Persons hearing the shots ran to the scene and at once notified the authorities. Coroner WALLACE and an assistant were the first to reach the injured man.
      HENDRICKS was conscious and talked about the shooting in a most rational manner. He mentioned the girl's name several times. He took WALLACE for a physician and asked him if he had a chance to live. Wallace told him that he did not believe that he had long for this earth, and if he had anything to say he had better be quick.
      " I guess I am going to die and it is just as well." He then mumbled something about having a quarrel with Miss DOWD. " I want to die. It's too bad for my relatives," added the injured man. WALLACE then asked him where his parents lived. The young man replied that his mother resided in Mariposa.
      When the sheriff's office was notified Sheriff RIEKS and deputies OSER and ORSHLER hurried to the scene. They brought the man to the hospital and Dr. ENGLISH and the nurses, who had been notified of the shooting, had everything ready for his reception and have been hard at work on him to at least prolong his life.

George WILLS continued to reside in Cathey Valley up to several years ago when he removed to Dos Palos. Some five years ago he removed his family to the ranch near Merced on Bear Creek, which has been his home since. He was a sterling citizen, a man of strict integrity and held in the highest esteem by everyone who enjoyed his acquaintance. In addition to the bereaved widow, U. Sibbie Nevel WILLS, the following children are left to mourn: Claude P. WILLS, Mrs. Mary FALLING, Jesse Martin WILLS, Robert B. WILLS, all of Merced, Mrs. Violet HANDY of Planada and Mrs. Pansy HUFFMAN of Bear Creek. The following sisters survive: Mrs. Hiram CORNETT, Mrs. Jane GIVENS, Miss Emma WILLS and Mrs. J. D.

THORNTON, birth August 29, 1914 Mariposa Gazette

Entering the Yosemite store this morning I marvelled at the air of depression about Mr. THORNTON'S head clerk who is usually so cheerful. Determined to know the reason, I inquired for the proprietor and light dawned when I was informed that Mr. THORNTON was engaged in the nursery and had left orders not to be disturbed. "Son" I queried and an affirmative reply set me to thinking that the light hearted, capable manager was considering a doleful future when his services would no longer be required. For the son and heir will probably find the management of parents and numerous relatives too easy a task and will assume control of the business, precluding the necessity of another head. Already he has shown his independence of spirit by making his appearance in Yosemite thereby upsetting the arrangements of Mr. and Mrs. THORTON, who where to leave to-day for Merced where their guest was to be ushered into the world with all the pomp and ceremony that the conventional baby demands. Yes truly, the boy is a wonder. A future president, perhaps, as a tendency to politics is indicated by his appearing in ample time to take in the primaries to-morrow.

MERRILEES, John March 27, 1915 Mariposa Gazette

FORMER MARIPOSAN DIES IN BERKELEY.

      With the dawning of the Sabbath, death came to John MERRILEES as a gentle sleep. The last few months disease began to sap the strength of vital organs, yet the resolute mountaineer tottered to his feet like a stricken deer even to within ten minutes of the peaceful end. Friends from all sides rushed to console his sorrowing kin and to pay the last earthly homage to a beloved associate. A long funeral cortege wended from the Berkeley home of the deceased last Tuesday afternoon to the Masonic Temple, where impressive funeral rites were rendered around a bier embowered in floral tributes.
      John MERRILEES was born in Ayr, Ontario, Canada. He took up the work of machinist, and migrated to Downieville, California, at the age of 17. He became a engineer in the mines and soon branched out into the installing of mining machinery.
      At the age of 22 he met and married Annie TRELEAVEN in Greenville, Plumas County, a bride that blessed him with a most enviable home life and a manly son, Francis, both of whom survive him.
      In the 90's he repaired to Mariposa County, where he set up the famous milling plant at Whitlock. For some years he resided on the Toll Road and developed the Alice mine with John MALONEY and others. He finally moved to Berkeley where he became a builder and contractor for the last four years of his life, after having spent three seasons at the tin mines of Alaska.
      John MERRILEES was a most lovable character, aglow with human sympathy and the soul of honor. He was a most ardent adherent to Mariposa, and was ever ready, the first and the last to serve and bind together the organization formed to keep wandering Mariposanns in touch and to perpetuate memories of the mountains. His good will, his warm welcome, his happy humor will long be missed. As a friend has said of him, "His measure of wealth and fame may have been small, but his cup of honor and humanity was in constant overflow." May his eternal abode be as full of everlasting joy to him as were the flowery meads of Mariposa.

BREWER, Miss Alice August 21, 1915 Mariposa Gazette

In Memoriam.

      Our community was shocked by the tragic and untimely death of Miss Alice BREWER. She was on her vacation trip to the Yosemite Valley having a pleasant time, when she was bitten on the face by a poisonous insect. A distressing blood poison issued and all medical aid was unavailing. She was born April 10th, 1899, in Mariposa county, and educated in her native county. She died in the Burnett Sanitarium at Fresno, July 25, 1915, aged 26 years, 3 months and 15 days. She professed faith in Christ during her last illness and was recieved by baptism into the Methodist church. She was possessed of a gentle and loving disposition and was held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends. She had taught school for seven years, the last three in the same locality, and was to return to the same school the ensuing term. She was a leader in athletics, having been elected captain of the Mill Creek girl's baseball team.
      She attended church and Sunday school regularly and will be greatly missed in the school, church and social life of the community where she had been teaching.
      Two sisters and one brother were with her when she died, and she was unconscious for six hours before death took her.
      Others that were near and dear to her arrived a few minutes to late. She expressed herself as being ready to cross the river of death and urged her loved ones to so live as to be ready for the last summons.
      She is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. BREWER, six sisters, Mrs. J. SUMNER, Mrs. C. B. DEATSCH, Mrs. Lorena, Violet and Vera BREWER, and five brothers, Frank, Edward, Thomas, George and Vernal. Besides relatives and friends that mourn her departure, there is another fond and sacred tie that is broken by the ruthless hand of death..

                                    "Not now but in coming years,
                                     It may be in the better land.
                                We shall read the meaning of our tears.
                                Up there sometime we will understand."

                                  "Why what we long for most of all
                                    Eludes so oft our eager hands.
                                Why hopes are crushed and castles fall.
                               Up there sometimes we will understand."

LOUNSBURY, Mrs. C. Edward August 28, 1915 Mariposa Gazette

In Memoriam.

      Yosemite friends- and they are many - of the late Mrs. C. Edward LOUNSBURY were shocked over her death in Merced early Monday morning. Because these friends have spoken to me in such convincing sincerity of the exceptionally lovely character of the departed lady, it seems fitting to offer an appreciation from Yosemite, her husband being a member of a business firm here and Mrs. LOUNSBURY a not infrequent visitor.
      Not in vain has she lived, whose death could call forth from those united by no tie of blood such true sorrow as was manifested in Yosemite upon the passing of Mrs. LOUNSBURY. An inspiration to a better life her example should be to us all that our good deeds like hers may live after us and that no words but kind ones can be truthfully spoken.
      Eulogy of a personal friend these lines are not but the spontaneous tribute from the writer to one of her own sex worthy of the highest praise.
      With every virtue adorns womanhood she was endowed in generous measure. With charity so broad she asked not if friend or stranger the one who needed aid. Devoted to the duties of her home and to her family she was an ideal wife and mother and by that alone entitled to highest honor.
      Mrs. Helena Augusta LOUNSBURY was a native of San Francisco and twenty nine years of age. She was the mother of two children, Earl and Gladys LOUNSBURY. Her funeral was held this afternoon from Nordgren's undertaking parlors in Merced.
      While friends hare are sad they sympathize deeply with her husband, her children and other relatives, who are deprived of her helpful companionship.

RIBERA, Lucio October 30, 1915 Mariposa Gazette

MEXICAN LABORER MURDERED IN MERCED RIVER CANYON

Lucio RIBERA, a Mexican section laborer employed by the Yosemite Valley Railroad Company, at Ned's gulch, was shot and fatally wounded Friday of last week by Francisco AROYO, a fellow worker. From the evidence adduced at the inquest the men had been quarreling during the forenoon of that day and RIBERA had asked the foreman, John BOHAN, for his time stating that he wanted to quit the job. Just before the dinner hour AROYO went to the camp house and secured a 32-caliber revolver and on his return at once began firing at RIBERA. Five shots were fired, two taking effect. One bullet penetrated near the left collar bone and the other in the back near the right shoulder both ranging downward. The wounded man grappled with his assailant and both rolled over the embankment into the river, a distance of about fifty feet. At that time it was not thought that RIBERA had been hit by the bullets as he was holding AROYO under the water in an effort to drown him when separated by the other men present. As soon as he was released the murderer started for the camp where he got a few of his belongings and escaped and up to this writing has not been captured. Sheriff FARNSWORTH has offered a reward of $50 for his capture and cards giving a description of the murderer have been mailed to the various officers throughout the valley.
The wounded man lived about ten minutes after being taken from the water. He was about 28 years of age and a native of Mexico. The inquest was held by Coroner JOHNSON the same day.

McFARLANE, Bob November 13, 1915 Mariposa Gazette

BOB McFARLANE, NOTORIOUS OUTLAW, MURDERED

      Bob McFARLANE, a notorious outlaw and murderer of several men, was shot and instantly killed at Merced Falls, this county, Friday night of last week, near Cliff House Saloon, by Frank ("Dyke") DICKERSON, his second cousin and himself a worthless character.
      Two loads from a double barreled shotgun were fired into McFARLANE'S body. One load entered the right side tearing away part of the arm and the other entered the left breast.
      It appears the men have been living together on a piece of land recently taken up by McFARLANE and both men had been drinking heavily. Upon going to his home McFARLANE found DICKINSON lying in bed in a drunken stupor and after a quarrel administered a severe beating to DICKINSON and threatened to kill him. It is also alleged by DICKINSON that McFARLANE fired two shots at him with a 22- caliber automatic rifle, which missed their mark.
      DICKINSON was brought to Mariposa by Sheriff FARNSWORTH and placed in the county jail awaiting his preliminary hearing, which will be held in Hornitos next Monday before Justice ADAMS. To the officers he expressed regret that he was compelled to shoot McFARLANE, but states that under the circumstances he would do the same thing over again.
      The body of McFARLANE was taken to Merced shortly after the killing by Coroner NORDGREN of Merced county, it being removed before Coroner JOHNSON of this county had arrived on the scene. Mr. NORDGREN, however, was compelled to return the body to Merced Falls and the inquest was held by Mr. JOHNSON on Monday.

M'FARLANE'S BLOODY CAREER

      McFARLANE in his long and adventurous career in California, New Mexico and Mexico has killed several men, and has been tried many times for assaults with attempt to murder. He has been a prisoner in San Quentin and the penitentiary at Santa Fe, N. M., besides occupying numerous county jails in San Joaquin valley and elsewhere.
      McFARLANE'S first deed of bloodshed was in 884, when he killed Antone ENOS, a Portugese, after a fist fight at a tenderloin dance hall at Merced. Pleading self-defence, he was acquitted on that murder charge. In 1892 he shot and killed a "bad man" Mexican in Secorro, N. M., and was found guilty of murder and sentenced to hang. Afterwards his sentence was commuted tto life imprisonment at Santa Fe, and when his health began failing in captivity he was released through the efforts of Robert PROUTY, then Sheriff of Mariposa county, who promised to look after him.
      In 1901 McFARLANE shot and killed James TUCKER, on the porch of a Merced tenderloin resort, interfering in a quarrel between TUCKER and his divorced wife, owner of the resort. McFARLANE was the TUCKER woman's consort at the time. He was convicted of manslaughter for killing TUCKER and served six of an eight year sentence in San Quentin, being released on credits.
      The past few years McFARLANE has been living in the Merced river section, and frequently on drunken sprees has terrorized people by threats of murder, accompanied by boasts of the men he had killed. Both McFARLANE and DICKINSON came from families of good standing and have many relatives of prominence in this state.

LYNN, Thos. B. November 13, 1915 Mariposa Gazette

HUNTER'S VALLEY SCENE OF MYSTERIOUS MURDER

      Thos. B. LYNN, a miner, and for the past five years a resident of Hunter's Valley, was murdered near his cabin on Friday evening of last week, supposedly by Henry COLLIS, another miner. The facts concerning the killing are rather meager and there is no known motive for the crime. LYNN and a man called THORNTON, who resides at Chowchilla, were partners in a mining claim and COLLIS has been working the mine on a percentage basis. THORNTON'S version of the affair is that on the day of the murder LYNN had gone to Jasper Point and just before his return COLLIS asked "where is Tom," THORNTON answered "Here he comes now." COLLIS then stated " I'm going to kill the ______"and raising a 38-55 Marlin rifle fired hitting LYNN in the left thigh. When spoken to a shot was fired at THORNTON, who lost no time making his getaway but says he heard a third shot a few minutes later. This shot is the one that caused the death of LYNN. The bullet entered the right chest and came out on the left side. It is said that all parties connected with the affray had been drinking heavily for several days.
      A statement made by COLLIS is to the effect that he had no knowledge of the shooting and that it is impossible to think he would kill his best friend. The rifle used was the property of THORNTON.
      The inquest was held by Coroner JOHNSON on Saturday and the internment had the same day in the cemetery at Hunter's Valley.
      The preliminary examination of the accused will be held in Hornitos Monday before Justice Wm. ADAMS.
