EUGENIA D. PITNEY PASSES AT HOME ON CLOVER CREEK  
A resident of Lake county since childhood and Upper Lake for the past 55 years, 
Mrs. Eugenia Davis Pitney, eldest daughter of William and Sarah Davis, early 
Lake county pioneers, passed away at 6:30 yesterday morning after an illness of 
the past few months. She was the wife of George Pitney, with whom she celebrated 
her golden wedding anniversary on January 3 of this year. 
Born in San Joaquin September 8, 1858, Mrs. Pitney came to Lake county with her 
parents when a girl, the family first settling in Middletown and later in Lower 
Lake. Fifty-five years ago the family settled in Upper Lake. In 1881, the 
Pitneys were married and made their home for a number of years on Clover creek. 
Besides the husband, five children survive, Mrs. Bertha Neil, Mrs. Clara Groom, 
Fred and Vane Pitney of Upper Lake and Warren Pitney of Oakland. There are also 
five grandchildren, besides three sisters as follows: Mrs. Alice Golda, Mrs. 
Flora Gilbert, both of Westpoint, Calaveras county, and Mrs. Nora Goltazena of 
San Francisco. 
Mrs. Pitney was a good mother, quiet of nature and home loving. She was of the 
Baptist faith. 
Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon from the Community church at 
2:00 o�clock, in Upper Lake. 
Members of the family have the sympathy of the Upper Lake community and other 
sections of the county.
