GALLISON, Winslow January 16, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
WINSLOW GALLISON DEAD.
One of the Founders of Mariposa Passes Away.
Monday last Mariposans were once more
called upon to bid good bye to one of the founders of the town. The
news
was quickly spread that Winslow GALLISON had passed away at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. M. I. ROWLNAD. Mr. GALLISON was a native of Maine,
aged
87 years. He came to California in 1849 and on his arrival mined at
Kokolumne
Hill. In the spring of '50 he came to Mariposa and mined a short time;
latter part of the year he moved to Stockton and opened a blacksmith
shop
and foundry. After remaining there a little over a year he concluded to
return to Maine. Suiting the action to the thought he sold out and
started
east by Nicaraqua, but was taken sick before reaching home. After his
illness
he fell in with some gold seekers at New Orleans and concluded to
return
to California with them. 1853 found him back in Mariposa in the
blacksmithing
business until about twelve years ago when old age and ill health
forced
him to retire from the business.
December 15, 1859, Mr. GALLISON was
married to Miss Jane McCREADY, who preceded him to the tomb in 1897.
The children of Mr. and Mrs. GALLISON
now living are Percy R., Winslow E., Daniel S. and Mrs. M. I. ROWLAND.
The deceased had been quite feeble for
several years and was cared for by his children, making his home with
his
daughter Mrs. ROWLAND. He was a member of the Mariposa Lodge, No. 39,
I.
O. O. F. and one of its oldest members.
Mr. GALLISON had always been a leading

and reliable man, honored by all who knew him.

The verdict being: "That he came to his death from natural causes, old age and disability."

BARNETT, Miss Lizzie January 23, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
A SAD DEATH.
Miss Lizzie BARNETT Died Suddenly at Madera.
Miss Lizzie BARNETT passed away very
suddenly at midnight last night. Her death is a great shock to her many
friends, and her relatives are prostrated with grief. While she had
been
very seriously ill following the attack of an operation for
appendicitis,
her condition had improved so much that there seemed every hope and
prospect
for her rapid recovery. But at midnight a sudden change took place, and
all the fond hopes were turned to intense grief.
On Saturday night Miss BARNETT suddenly
became very ill and her physicians at once saw that the only hope was
in
an operation. This was performed on Monday morning, and while her
condition
was critical, due to a rupture of the appendix, she went through the
operation
very satisfactorily. On Monday night she was very low, but from that
time
her condition kept improving and it seemed that the greatest danger had
passed.
At midnight last night the nurse was
taking her pulse, which was done every hour. It was normal for
twenty-one
beats, when the heart action suddenly stopped. The nurse at once called
Dr. DODGE, who was in an adjoining room, and restoratives were
immediately
administered. Everything that could be done was without avail. The
absorption
from the malady was more than the heart could stand, and it refused to
respond to the doctor's efforts. Just as the nurse started to take the
patient's pulse, Mrs. BARNETT left her daughter's bedside, happy in the
thought that she was doing so well and would soon be in perfect health.
But a moment later and the spirit had departed, plunging a hopeful
household
into the greatest sadness and taking a dearly loved member from a happy
family.
Miss Elizabeth Louise BARNETT was a
native of Mariposa, aged 25 years, 7 months and 14 days. Her folks
moved
to Madera when she was a little child and here she grew to young
womanhood.
Of a bright and cheerful disposition, her many lovable qualities made
her
a favorite with all who knew her, and there are many who share in the
deep
grief of her bereaved relatives. She was the elder daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. R. BARNETT, and sister of John H., Fred W., Annie Josephine and
Frank F. BARNETT.- Madera Tribune, Jan. 14.
THE FUNERAL.
In the presence of her heart-broken
relatives
and an immense throng of sorrowing friends, the mortal remains of Miss
Lizzie BARNETT were consigned to their final rest in Arbor Vitae
cemetery
this afternoon.
The funeral was held from the family
residence on Yosemite avenue, where the ceremonies were held. The large
number who were present to pay friendship's last tribute attested to
the
love and respect felt for her whose sweet young life on earth was
closed
just as it had reached its brightest.
At the home of, Rev. GILLINGHAM,
assisted
by Rev. SPRINGKLE, conducted the ceremonies in an impressive manner. He
referred in touching language to the beautiful character and lovable
life
of the deceased. To the grief-strickened relatives he offered words of
consolation and hope. Beautiful hymns were sung by a choir. During the
services many cheeks were wet with tears of sorrow. The large cortege
then
followed to the cemetery, the hearse being escorted by Henry DESMOND,
L.
W. SHARP, Charles MERINO, George VOGELER, J. J. SPITZER and W. C. UTTER
as pall bearers.
At the cemetery short ceremonies were
held and hymns sung. The casket was then gently lowered into the
new-made
grave, which was covered with a profusion of lovely flowers and floral
pieces- tokens of love from friends. Beneath these beautiful tributes
she
sleeps, and while the flowers will soon wither and pass away her memory
will remain fresh and green in the hearts of her loved ones and
friends.-

AVERY, William February 13, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Former Mariposan Suicides.
From the Nevada City Transcript
of February 8th we copy the following in regard to the death of Wm.
Avery.
Avery formerly lived in this county having worked at both Mariposa and
Coulterville. While here he was in the employ of the Mariposa
Commercial
and Mining Company as a carpenter, and was well known. Following is the
article:
"It appears that Wm. AVERY, who
committed
suicide Saturday morning, was determined to end his life. He had been
ailing
for some time at Brownsville, where he had gone to attend to the
development
work of the B. C. mine, which he had bonded and in the operation of
which
a number of Nevada City men were interested with him, and several days
ago was taken to the Brownsville Hotel where he could have better
treatment
than living alone in a cabin.
"Saturday forenoon about 11:30 there
rang out on the stillness of the usually quiet village of Brownsville
the
report od a pistol shot. The sound attracted Bud DOBBINS who had been
caring
for the unfortunate man a minute before. He rushed to the scene to find
AVERRY dead with a bullet hole in his temple. The dead man in a moment
of melancholy, had drawn his revolver from his pocket and placing it to
his right temple fired.
"There was no written explanation left
of why the tragic deed was committed and not a word of his intentions
escaped
the lips of AVERY. He was as cheerful that morning as his enfeebled
condition
would permit and his friends had no conception of the terrible crime he
contemplated. Undoubtedly prolonged illness preyed on his mind and in a
fit of temporary insanity he gave way to his melancholy mood and
decided
to end it all."
HESLIN-LINDSEY February 20, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
County Clerk P. J. THORNTON this morning issued a marriage license to John HESLIN, aged 50 years, a native of California and a resident of Le Grand, and Maggie E.

CLANTON-LEVANT February 20, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
SENSATIONAL ELOPEMENT.
Wm. A. CLANTON and Miss Myrtle Lowrie LEVANT.
This week the Gazette is called upon
to chronicle one of the most dastardly elopements that has ever taken
place
within the annuals of history in Mariposa county.
A deserted wife and baby who has not
yet reached her majority, broken hearted parents on both sides and a
low
down sneak at large to prey upon the pure daughters of kind and loving
parents in some other community is the result of the escapade.
Saturday last Wm. A. CLANTON, who
resided
with his young wife and little ten-month old son, near Whiterock, in
this
county, left home with his sister in law, Miss Myrtle LOWRIE,
ostensibly
to go to Le Grande to transact some business, and the young lady
accompanying
him to do some needed purchasing.
The couple did not return when they
had promised to do but the loving young wife suspected nothing for she
put implicit confidence in her husband.
However CLANTON had been busy.
On arriving in Le Grand, instead of
transacting
business he and the girl continued on to Merced. Here he wrote a letter
to his wife, not expecting it to reach her before Monday, but, owing to
the state of the weather the Le Grand stage started for Mariposa Sunday
and in one afternoon when the stage came by the deserted wife received
a cruel letter that almost caused her to die from grief. A letter
written
by a scoundrel to a true and loving wife.
It stated that he had eloped with his
sister -in-law and there was no use following or making inquiry or
trouble
would ensue.
Heart-broken and alone she at once
telephoned
to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. LOWRIE of Mariposa. Mr. LOWRIE went to
her at once and after a short interview he returned to Mariposa Monday
night and left Tuesday morning for Merced in quest of the elopers.
Miss Myrtle LOWRIE who eloped, is about
17 years of age and has always borne an excellent reputation. About a
year
ago she suffered a sunstroke while coming from Le Grand to Mariposa and
for a time she was quite feeble.
It is rumored that CLANTON before
eloping
deeded all his property to others and drew his savings, $350, from a
Merced
Bank.
CLANTON formerly lived in Arizona and
it is thought by some that he has returned to his old home.
Both families are highly respected by
citizens of the county who know them and have the sympathy of all.
BELL-CORNETT February 20, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Cathey Valley Wedding.
Wednesday last the pretty home in Cathey Valley, of Ex-Supervisor and Mrs. H. W. CORNETT, was the scene of a quiet wedding, the contracting parties being Marshall W. BELL, a prominent North Carolina attorney and Miss Grace CORNETT, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. CORNETT. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. MOORE of Fresno. The Gazette extends congratulations.
JONES, Mrs. Sarah Allen February 20, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
A PIONEER RESIDENT DIES.
Mrs. Sarah Allen JONES Passes to the Great Beyond.
Mrs. Sarah Allen JONES, a pioneer
resident,
and one of the most highly respected women in Mariposa county, the
widow
of the late Judge L. F. JONES, died at her residence in Mariposa, at
one
o'clock last Tuesday morning, February 16, 1909, as a result of a
paralytic
stroke, suffered twelve days previously, from which she never
recovered.
All that medical skill and loving hands
could do was of no avail.
While the hand of time had dealt gently
with this amiable, lovely white haired lady, the vital spark was not to
be rekindled in this world. Peacefully, tranquilly and without
suffering
she sank in slumber and passed to the Great Beyond without a shade of
pain,
in the presence of and surrounded by the members of her family.
While the grim reaper is never a welcome
visitor, a more peaceful death could not have been chosen.
In life, when speaking of the time when
she should be called hence, Mrs. JONES had expressed the wish that her
summons would not come at the end of a long, lingering illness, and as
if in answer to her expressed wish, the Almighty tempered with
gentleness
the visit of the grim reaper.
Mrs. Sarah Allen Jones was a native
of Pawlet, Rutland county, Vermont, where she was born April 14, 1829,
being at the date of her death, of the age of 79 years, 10 months and 1
day. She came to California and direct to Mariposa county in 1854, to
join
her husband who had preceeded her, and has continued to reside here
ever
since.
She leaves one son, Newman JONES, an
attorney of San Francisco, and three daughters, Mrs. Lucy S. MILLER and
Miss Julia L. JONES of Mariposa, and Mrs. Marian S. GOUCHER of Madera,
a number of grandchildren and a host of warm personal friends.
Mrs. JONES was an exceptionally bright,
refined, and educated woman of a kind and loving nature whose presence
will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
For more than half a century has the
home of this most estimable lady been among the rugged hills, the
wooded
slopes and magnificent scenery of Mariposa county. Her life's history
and
association for almost sixty years are inseparably mingled with
Mariposa,
both past and present, and in nature of things terrestrial it was meet
and fitting that her mortal remains be interred in the little grave
yard,
among the swaying pines, there to rest by the side of loved ones gone
before,
to await the coming of the resurrection word.
At the Masonic cemetery above town,
on Thursday afternoon, in the presence of her bereaved relatives and a
large number of sorrowing friends, assembled from near and far, the
internment,
the last tribute of the living to the dead, was had.
The church services, which were in part
held at the family residence, and part at the grave, were conducted by
the Rev. C. H. REYBURN.
The floral offerings made and presented
by loving friends, were extremely beautiful. The most sacred hymn,
"Safe
in the Arms of Jesus," was most touchingly rendered by the choir.
The solemn invocation for the dead by
the pastor was eloquent of life in the Great Beyond, and the grave,
which
loving hands had decked with evergreens, lost its dreariness, and all
things
combined to symbolize the immortal words:
" Oh Grave, where is thy victory?
Oh Death, where is thy sting?"
COLEMAN, John W. February 20, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
John W. COLEMAN Dead.
Monday last John W. COLEMAN died on the road between Ben Hur and Mariposa, while being brought to town for medical treatment. Mr. COLEMAN was an old and respected citizen of Mariposa county. He settled in the county in early days and most of his time had been spent as a stockraiser and farmer. He had been ailing for about a month and Sunday he requested to be brought to town, so Monday morning, in company with John ORME and J. C. Peterson, Mr. COLEMAN being fixed on a comfortable bed in a spring wagon started for Mariposa but the journey proved to be too much an exertion to him owing to his weak condition and old age and he died in route. Deceased was a native of Kentucky and about 83 years of age. As he died without a physician in attendance, as prescribed by law Coroner JOHNSON and a jury held an inquest Tuesday and brought in a verdict according to the above facts.

DEATSCH, Sebastian F. February 27, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Death of an Old Resident.
Sebastian F. DEATSCH died in Modesto
last Saturday. He was a well known and highly esteemed resident of
Mariposa
county for many years and had many friends and acquaintances in Merced.
He was a native of France and came to this county when a boy, and
in 1875 came to Merced, where he lived a year and then went to Mariposa
county, when he went to Modesto, where one of his sons resides and

raising,
which he carried on extensively, some of his sons being associated in
the
business in recent years. The family home is at Lewis, Mariposa county.
Mr. DEATSCH was a very robust and active man until his health failed a
year ago. He took a deep interest in the public affairs of the county
and
community in which he lived and where he was a man of influence. Until
the building of the Valley railroad (the Santa Fe) and the
establishment
of the town of Le Grand, he and his sons were frequent visitors
to
Merced, which was their shipping point and trading place. Deceased is
well
remembered by many Merced people. The cause of his death was heart
failure
due to dropsy. He leaves a wife, six sons and a daughter. Two sons live
in Modesto, J. L. and A. S.; two in Lewis, C. D. and R. C. ; and two in
Arizona, W. E. and H. L., and a daughter in Richmond, Mrs. Mary F.
GROSJEAN.
The funeral took place in Merced

Rev. O. S. RUSSELL, pastor of the North Methodist church at Modesto,
officiating.
The members of the family and friends were present. Internment was in
the
Odd Fellows cemetery. A reinforced concrete vault was commented on,
thus
making an air and water tight and indestructible enclosure for the
coffin.-

DEATSCH, Sebastin Fabian March 6, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
OBITUARY.
On The Death of Sebastin Fabian DEATSCH of Whiterock.
Sebastin Fabian DEATSCH was born in
Elsis,
France, August 3, 1842 and died in Modesto, Calif., Feb. 20, 1909 after
a life of 66 years and 17 days.
More than 66 years of busy life closed
upon earth forever. In the death of our fellow citizen the last page of
another life is written- written and passed to us not for criticism but
that we may be profited by his commendable traits of character.
Every life is a contribution to the
school room of humanity and poor indeeed is that student who cannot
profit
by a view of every life.
Mr. DEATSCH came to America at the age
of twelve years. He lived in Chicago about two years and then went to
Iowa,
which state he left in 1862, going to Denver, Colo. Later he went to
Nebraska
City in the state of Nebraska where he was married December 18, 1866 to
Miss Sarah ERWIN.
Mr. and Mrs. DEATSCH came to California
in 1875 and settled in Mariposa county in the fall of 1876. This was
his
home for the remainder of his life.
In the last year of his life Mr. DEATSCH
was a patient sufferer. The disease at last became so aggravated that
in
January 190 he with Mrs. DEATSCH went to Modesto to be near medical
aid.
All that medical skill, and all that loving hands could od was done for
his comfort, but life could not be prolonged. He retired the evening of
the 19th feeling better than usual. It was not known at what moment the
end came. He was found about 1 o'clock, the indications being that
while
he peacefully slept the tired heart ceased to beat and without a
struggle
his weary body found rest.
In his decease the state loses a valued
citizen and home loses a kind and devoted husband and father.
He loved his home and his children.
Their love and that of a devoted wife made home a pleasant spot. No
life
can be ill spent that is mostly spent in its sacred precincts. He lives
well who lives at home. The strength of empire is not, as some may
think,
in good laws, as essential as they may be. It is not in the
efficiency
of its army or navy, nor yet is it in the vastness of its material
resources;
nor even in the extent of its phianthroic work; but the nations
strength
resides in the manhood that composes its citizenship. This citizenship
is not possible without home life. But he is gone; and we gather
flowers
of tribute on his silent form. He shall move no more among us, or greet
us in the walks of life. We bid him farewell, trusting that his noble
traits
of character will be repeated in the lives of those who call him
father,
and praying that the comfort and consolation of the compassionate
Christ
may rest ever on the bereaved. He is survived by the wife, Mrs. Sarah
K.
DEATSCH, and the following children: John L., Albert S., Charles B.,
Wm.
E. Henry L. and Rollen C. DEATSCH and Mrs. Mary Grosjean. O. L.
RUSSELL.
HOLT, Mrs. Dorleska R. March 6, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Died at Oakvale.
Coroner JOHNSON was called to Oakvale on Wednesday last to hold an inquest on the remains of Mrs. Dorleska R. HOLT. Undertaker NORDGREN of Merced had been called and as no physician's certificate could be produced, the lady having died without the attention of a physician, the undertaker at once notified the Coroner according to law. The jury found a verdict of "Death from old age and natural causes." Mrs. HOLT was a native of New York, aged 74 years and had been in failing health from old age for the past year. The evening before her death she called the family around her and bid them good bye as she soon expected to pass away.
MEANS-GREENHOOD March 20, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Marriage at the Sorrel Mine.
A pretty wedding ceremony was

on Tuesday evening last, at the pleasant mountain home of Mr. and Mrs.
F. L. WALLIGFORD at the Sorrel mine, by W. A. SCOTT, J.P., uniting Dr.

ROLLE, Mrs. Frank March 20, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Died at Hospital.
Mrs. ROLLE, widow of the late Frank ROLLE, died at the county hospital Saturday last and was buried Sunday. The ROLLES had resided in Mariposa county for over a quarter of a century and were highly respected by all who knew them. In their old age they met adversity and had to fall on charity for support. A couple of years ago they were admitted to the county hospital where they lingered, old feeble and in ill health, until a few weeks ago, when Mr. ROLLE passed away. The death of her helpmate disheartened the old lady and she followed her husband as stated above. A son, Louis ROLLE of Mt. Bullion, survives them.
GOZZOLO, Giacomo March 27, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Giacomo GOZZOLO died at Coulterville, Thursday March 25th, aged 83 years. Mr. GAZZOLO was one of Coulterville's pioneers.
CHAPMAN, Mrs. Dollie March 27, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Death of Mrs. CHAPMAN.
Dollie, wife of Lee CHAPMAN, died at
the family home i Bennett district, Sunday last, after a lingering
illness
caused by that dread disease consumption. It was a particularly sad
death
as she leaves three small children, (the oldest under seven years of
age,)
motherless, to be brought up to manhood and womanhood without the
tender
care of a loving mother. They will undoubtedly be reared with tender
and
loving care, but none can take the place of mother.
Ms. CHAPMAN was a native of Missouri,
aged 45 years, and had been married to Mr. CHAPMAN eight years, the
result
of the union being four children one of whom passed on before its
mother
and was no doubt at the pearly gates to welcome her coming.
The loving husband, relatives and
friends
did all that mortal hands could do for her in the last days but the
dread
disease had fastened itself upon her and she must go to meet her
redeemer.
The burial took place Tuesday and the remains were laid to rest in the
family plot in Mariposa cemetery, followed there by many loving
relatives
and friends.

GAZZOLO, Giacomo April 3, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Death of G. GAZZOLO.
During Thursday night, the 25th of
last
month, the angel of death claimed another of Mariposa county's pioneer
citizen's, when Giacomo GAZZOLO, an old and highly respected resident
of
Coulterville, answered that imperative summons which will, in time,
relieve
us all from our earthly cares.
Deceased was a native of Italy and about
87 years of age. He early came to this county and settled in the town
where
he died, after rearing to man and womanhood a large and respected
family.
Giacomo GAZZOLO was ever honest and
upright in dealings with his fellow men, and an industrious and law
abiding
citizen who commanded and deservedly merited the respect and friendship
of all acquaintances. Of him it can be truthfully be said: He passed
away
as "full of honor as of years."
His remains were laid to rest in the
Coulterville cemetery two days following death, and those who were
present
at the last rites to pay their respect to a departed relative and
friend,
constituted one of the largest funeral assemblages ever gathered in
Coulterville.
To mourn the loss of a good and kind
husband and father, deceased leaves a widow, Mrs. Mary GAZZOLO of
Coulterville,
and one son and five daughters, namely: James S. GAZZOLO of
Coulterville,
Mrs. Amelia DOMENICONI of San Francisco, Mrs. Lydia BUCHENAU of
Oakland,
Mrs. Lena MAZE of Lathrop, Mrs. Leonora De PAULI of Kern CIty and Mrs.
May STEVENSON of Bakersfield.
Gazzolo, Giacomo April 3, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
Giacomo GAZZOLO died suddenly
Thursday
morning March 24th at his home here, death being caused from old age.
The
deceased was one of the earliest settlers of Mariposa county and had
resided
in Coulterville continuously for the past 43 years. He was a native of
Italy and about 83 years of age.
Mr. GAZZOLO was the father of a large
family of children, six of whom survive him: Mrs. Amelia DOMENICONI,
Mrs.
Alida BUCHENAU, Mrs. Leana MAZE, Mrs. Leonora DePAULI, Mrs. Mary
STEVENSON,
and James GAZZOLO. A devoted wife who has been his helpmate for nearly
half a century is left to mourn his irreparable loss.
Mr. GAZZOLO'S many noble qualities and
his blameless life are to well known to call for an eulogy from the
writer
of these lines, yet it seems fitting to remark that a man has passed
from
our midst whose life may well be a model for the youth of our day to
imitate.
His funeral was held on Saturday from the Catholic church and was
largely
attended. Internment in the Coulterville cemetery. The bereaved family
have the sincere sympathy of all in their grief.

BREWER, Alice April 10, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
In Memoriam.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath
And stars to set; but all-
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death.
Thursday at noon, March 25th, the
Angel
of Death hovered over the home of Frank BREWER and bore away his loving
wife Alice. She was ill only a short time and her death was due to
cerebral
hemorrhage. Medical assistance proved of no avail for a higher power
than
mortal stood at the portals of heaven beckoning her onward.
Mrs. BREWER was born in the state of
Washington, April 3, 1888. When she was a little child her parents
moved
to this state where she has since resided. In June 1908 she was married
to Mr. Frank BREWER. No shadow o'er dimmed the brightness of their few
months of wedded happiness until death claimed the fair wife as a
flower
is struck down by the early frosts of springs.
Besides a young husband and an infant
son she leaves to mourn her untimely departure a father and mother, Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. CHALFANT, four brothers, Marion, Will, Manual and Noah
CHALFANT
and a sister, Miss Ida CHALFANT.
Internment was in the family cemetery
on Saturday at 11 o'clock. Many loving relatives and friends followed
the
body to its last resting place.
Funeral services were conducted by Reverend PRICE, of Knowles.
HALLORAN, Thomas S. April 10, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
KILLING AT VARAIN.
Thomas S. HOLLORAN Metts Death at the Hands of an Assassin.
Monday evening last at about 8:30 at
Varain, or what was formerly called Pleasant Valley, Thomas S.
HOLLORAN,
a section foreman on the Y. V. railroad was killed in cold blood
according
to his anti-mortum statement and circumstantial evidence.
HOLLORAN had been a boarder at the house
of one S. SHEDADY, who keeps a store at Varian, but concluded to board
himself, and built a cabin and quit SHEHADY about three weeks ago.
Since
then the two have not been very friendly.
There were no witnesses to the shooting
but the victim lived several hours after the shooting and to those who
came to care for him he told of the tragedy. He said he was in bed and
at about 8:30 some one knocked at his door and on asking who was there
received the answer that C. C. PLYLER wished to see him. He went to the
door in his night clothes and SHEDADY met him with a shotgun and shot
him
in the stomach and ran away.
The wounded man made his way to where
his section crew was camped, about a hundred yards distant, and the
crew
at once notified the neighbors of the tragedy.
SHEHADY denies this statement and says
he knows nothing about the shooting, as he was in bed at the time.
Coroner JOHNSON and a jury held an
inquest
on the remains of HOLLORAN and the following verdict was rendered:
"We find the deceased was named Thomas
F. HOLLORAN, a native of Decorah, Iowa, aged about 30 or 31 years, that
he came to his death on the 5th day of April, 1909, in Mariposa county,
by a gunshot wound inflicted by the hand of S. SHEHADY."
SHEHADY was place under arrest and
brought
to Mariposa Wednesday evening by Deputy Sheriff PAINE and is now in the
county jail.
SHEHADY will have his preliminary
examination
on Wednesday next at Varian, before Justice ENDEAN. He will be defended
by Hon. G. G. GOUCHER of Madera.

HOGAN Dave June 19, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
BODY IDENTIFIED.
Body Found in River Identified as That of Dave HOGAN.
The body of the man found
drowned
in the Merced river above Bagby last week has been identified as that
of
Dave HOGAN. At the time the body was discovered, caught in some brush,
it was nude with the exception of the feet, on which were shoes and
socks.
The body was so badly swollen that people well acquainted with HOGAN
failed
to recognize the corpse. The officers on making inquiry found that
HOGAN
had been missed for about two weeks. His wife when interviewed said she
had not seen him for over two weeks and that when last seen he wore a
pair
of shoes, one of which had a patch on the side and had three splits on
the toe. As the shoes on the corps tallied with this description and as
the size and weight of the man also tallied it is a sure thing that
HOGAN
is no more.
The facts gleaned by the officers who
have been investigating the case are about as follows: HOGAN and Homer
SNEDIKER, along about the last of May, started from Brice's store to go
across the river to visit relatives of the first named. They had been
drinking
quite freely and took a bottle of whiskey along with them. On reaching
Carew Flat they laid down to rest. SNEDIKER says that they both went to
sleep and when awoke it was dark and HOGAN left and the bottle of
whiskey
had also vanished. SNEDIKER went to the nearest cabin, known as the
"Professor's
Place," and inquired for HOGAN but was informed that HOGAN had not been
there.
SNEDIKER then returned to his own cabin
thinking that his companion had forsaken him and gone on the proposed
visit
alone. No one suspected that HOGAN had come to harm until his body was
identified, as those on the north side of the river thought he was at
Colorado
and the Colorado people thought he had gone to the north side.
It is supposed that HOGAN on awakening
at Carew Flat started out to make the trip alone and on approaching the
river attempted to wade it, took off his clothes, leaving on his shoes
to protect his feet from the sharp stones, went into the water and was
washed down by the swift currant. The body was discovered by Charley
SOMMERS
who knew the deceased intimately but on account of the swollen
condition
of the body failed to identify it.
As there was a report of a suspicion
of foul play in connection with the death of HOGAN, Drs. KYLBERG and
MEANS
and Coroner JOHNSON went to the river Tuesday and had the body
disinterred
and a post mortem held. The conclusion of the doctors coincided with
that
of the Coroner's Jury- death from drowning.

HOGAN, Dave June 26, 1909 Mariposa Gazette
AN OUTRAGE.
Human Body Mistreated by Those Paid to Give it Decent Burial.
An outrage to the dead was brought to
light last week when Coroner JOHNSON and Drs. KYLBERG and MEANS went to
Bagby to hold an autopsy on the body of what, after a coroner's jury
had
failed to determine the identity, was after burial proven to be that of
Dave HOGAN.
As will be remembered, the body of a
nude man was found in the Merced river about three weeks ago and a
Coroner's
jury brought in a verdict of "unknown" or "unidentified."
After the inquest Coroner JOHNSON
ordered
the cadaver buried and two young men who were present undertook the job
of burying it.
After the burial wild rumors went over
the county that the body was that of Dave HOGAN and that he had been
foully
murdered by being shot and afterwards thrown into the stream.
Coroner JOHNSON, acting on the advice
of leading citizens, concluded to have the body disinterred and an
autopsy
held, also to have HOGAN'S relatives identify the body if possible.
To this end JOHNSON, in company with
Drs. KYLEBERG and MEANS and relatives of HOGAN went to the scene of
burial
and had the grave opened.
Dr. KYLEBURG described the condition
in which they found the body as follows: He says the grave was scarcely
three feet deep and that they found the body lying nude, without coffin
or shroud, face down, with the feet higher than the head, and a rope
around
the center of the body as if a hole had been scooped out and the body
dragged
to the brink and rolled in regardless of any respect that should be
shown
to the dead.
The county of Mariposa allows a fair
price for the burial of its paupers and unknown dead, and, while it
must
be admitted that this cadaver was in a bad fix, the job should not have
been undertaken if it could not be carried out legally.
There is a State law which says human
bodies must, when buried, be placed at least six feet under ground, but
in this case it was a scant three feet.
The rumors of murder proved to be
entirely
unfounded.
After the autopsy the body was wrapped
in canvas in lieu of a coffin, a grave dug and the remains given as
near
a decent burial as their condition would permit.

Funeral of Amelia SOUZA.
The funeral of Amelia SOUZA took
place
from St. Catherine's Church, Hornitos, July 1st, with all the solemn
ceremonies
of the Catholic rite. It was largely attended by many sympathizing
relatives
and friends and was truly a Catholic funeral. She died at the
sanitarium
in Fresno, with rites and consoling aids of the Holy Mother, the
church.
The funeral cortege arrived at the
church
at noon and was met by Rev. Father Fitzgerald who had come from
Yosemite
Valley the day before to perform the funeral services.
Many and beautiful were the floral
offerings
laid upon the casket.
The special feature of the service was
that prayer and anthems were explained in English after they had been
read
from the Latin.
The priest, in his remarks, said that
the occasion needed no sermon as the Latin service explained is quite
an
instructive sermon in itself. However, he dwelt briefly on the young,
innocent
life of the dead girl and interpreted the will of God, that "The Angel
of Death had plucked the bloom to plant in Paradise."
He also mentioned the Christian conduct
of the girl who had been instructed and prepared for her first
communion
by himself and he said he had never found her wanting in her duty as a
Catholic young lady, into the six years he had charge of Catholic
affairs
in Mariposa county.
He offered in the name of the community
sympathy and condolence to the afflicted family.
Again the community assembled at the
Church of the Holy Cross, at Indian Gulch, at 11 o'clock Sunday
morning,
at which time a special mass was offered for the repose of her soul,
celebrated
by Father FITZGERALD. The family have the sympathy of the whole
community,
and may they have the grace to bear up under the bereavement.
From a Sympathizing Friend.
