more than forty years.

ago.  H had been in the Grove but a short time, his residence dating from the first part 
of August of the present year.  He came here for the benefit of Mrs. Johnson’s health, 
hoping the change of climate might be beneficial, as she was suffering from the effects 
of a broken hip.  He commenced to fall soon after his arrival and his death had been 
expected for some days past.
  He leaves, besides a widow, two daughters, Mrs. D.C. Price and Mrs. W.B. Hale, both 
of Janesville, California.  Mrs. Price was here at the time of her father’s death.

pastor of the Baptist Church of Monterey , as the officiating clergyman.  Lucius Fairchild 
Post Grand Army of the Republic will conduct (?) the service in respect for their late 
comrade.  Arrangements (?) for the funeral will be conducted under the direction of
