OBITUARY
Mrs. Grace Jack, whose death at Sacramento we reported in out last issue,
was born in the State of New York on the 10th day of September 1851. Her
parents immigrated to Nebraska, in which state she married Thomas H. Jack in
1873. Later they moved to this state, settling in Amador County, where hr
husband engaged in mining. In 1880, Mr. Jack came up here with a view of
locating and purchased property in town. He returned to Amador County,
intending to bring his family here the following year, but met with an
accident in a mine, which caused his death.
Following out the plans of her deceased husband, Mrs. Jack moved here with
her children in 1881 and has been a resident of this town ever since.
Sometime ago she found that she was suffering from cancer of the breast and
despite all she could do, could not check the dread disease. She finally
determined to go below for treatment and in June last started for Sacramento
and placed herself under the care of a cancer specialist. She seemed to be
improving under his treatment and her death, which occurred a week ago last
Thursday night, was quite unexpected.
The remains were brought here for burial and last Thursday afternoon
funeral services were conducted in the church by Rev. J. H. Johnson in a
very impressive manner and followed by a large concourse of friends, the
body was conveyed to the Mountain View cemetery, where it was consigned to
its last resting place.
The floral offerings were many and beautiful, several fine pieces having
been sent here from Sacramento by Mrs. T. P. Ford.
The deceased lived an honest and upright Christian life, and during her
long residence here, has won the hearts and esteem of all who knew her. She
leaves two sons, Alfred and homer and one daughter, Mrs. Lottie Rankin, to
mourn her loss and to them, the sincerest sympathy is extended in their
bereavement. (5:2)

Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Auble of this place, companions for life.
At high noon the happy couple, supported by F. M. Auble as best man and
Miss Mabel Auble as Bride’s main, marched into the beautifully decorated
parlor where the impressive words spoken by Rev. Harry Perks molded two
hearts into one.
The bride was prettily costumed in cream white albatross trimmed in white
satin, lace, ribbon and orange blossoms. The veil fastened to her coiffure
fell in folds to the floor. In her left hand, she carried a beautiful
bouquet of white Carnations and Maidenhair ferns. The bride’s maid wore a
becoming dress of pink cashmere trimmer in lace and ribbon. She carried a
bouquet of pink Carnations and Maidenhair ferns. The groom and groomsman
were attired in neatly fitting dress suits of black.
After congratulations, the party repaired to the dining room where a
banquet, prepared by Miss Lizzie Pope, sister of the bride, was highly
enjoyed by all present.
The groom is a prominent young man and has the prospects of a bright future
before him. His bride is an intelligent young lady of amiable disposition
and highly esteemed by all who are fortunate enough to claim her as an
acquaintance.

YOUNG MAN DROWNED
The Cedarville Record reports the accidental drowning of a young man near
that place the particulars of which are as follows:
Two boys, Johnnie Hobbs, aged about 18 and Ray Hill about 16 years of age,
started out hunting Sunday morning and had shot a duck, which fell in the
warm spring known as “Sandy’s Pool.” One of the boys undressed and went in
after the duck and then suggested that they both take a bath. The spring is
shallow at the edge and grows gradually deeper towards the center for some
distance, where there is a jump-off, where the water is about 20 feet deep.
Not knowing of this dangerous place and neither of the boys knowing how to
swim, they waded out, side by side towards the center of the pool and both
stepped off the embankment at the same time. Ray Hill came to the surface
for the third time and struck the bank and clinging to it arose out of the
water in time to see his comrade go down for the last time. As soon as he
had recovered from the effects of the absorbed, he took a rope and tried to
recover the body of his friend, but failed and then reported the tragedy.
Men immediately left for the place and in a short time the body was
recovered from its watery grave. (8:1)

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1900

Mart McGhan, a former resident of this valley, arrived here from Mono County

Our Susanville exchanges of last week stated that George McDermott the
efficient county auditor and recorder was very sick with pneumonia. Last

in office, George gained many friends and supporters. He proved an
accommodating, prompt and efficient officer and his death is sincerely
regretted by all who knew him. (1:3)

A rather unique Childrens’ party was given at the residence of A. Smith last
Friday evening. It was what might be termed, a whooping cough party. Only
children with the whooping cough or those that have had it were present.

A telephone message received here last Friday announced the death of
Supervisor Bromby at San Francisco, where he had been taken for medical
treatment. The appointment of a successor will devolve upon Governor Gage.
