Subject: [CASANFRA] Death Notice from the Oct 1909 Grizzly Bear/Swazey, Charles S.
Date: Wed, 14 May 2003 15:09:10 -0700 (PDT)
In doing a look-up I was checking the Oct 1909, Grizzly Bear, which was the Official organ of the Native Sons of the Golden West, and the Native Daughters of the Golden West, and each month they would listed the members who had died recently:
Charles S. Swazey, a notable figure in the State's history, recently died in San Francisco. Deceased was born in Maine, May 24, 1827, and came around the Horn in 1850, missing the distinction of a '49er by one month. He engaged in mining first, but afterward went into the hotel business in Sacramento, and then engaged in merchandising in San Francisco. For twenty-four years had been a trusted employe of the U.S. Mint at San Francisco. A widow and two sons survive.
