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.

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.

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. Relatives and friends were present from San Francisco, Oakland, San Leandro, Berenda, Merced and La Grange, besides the entire community of Coulterville. The casket was covered with a pall of white carnations and ferns and surrounded by a profusion of exquisite floral pieces, the tribute of loving hearts. Rev. Father KEARNY delivered a touching eulogy on the life of the dead lady and few eyes were dry when he closed.
      The subject of this article was the mother of eight children, five of whom survive. The eldest daughter, Mrs. Amelia DEMENICONI, died a year ago, a son John, about eleven years earlier, and a little daughter, Angelina, passed away in childhood. The living children are Mrs. H. A. BUCHENAU of Fresno, Mrs. W. M. MAZE of Berenda, Mrs. J. STENESON of Bakersfield, Mrs. L. K. DEPAULI and James S. GAZZOLO of Coulterville.
      Mrs. GAZZOLO was a mother of the old fashioned type unhappily now so rare. With loving firmness she governed her children and, in consequence, they can now rise up and call her blessed. 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.
      - The remains were interred in the Coulterville cemetery by the side of her husband and children. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community.
