Funeral of J.W. Bandy To-morrow
WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), March 23 - The sudden death of J.W. BANDY, mentioned in
The Bee of yesterday, came as a surprise to his many friends. While not in
good health, having suffered from cardiac asthma, still there was nothing to
indicate his death was near. The immediate cause of his death was pulmonary
apoplexy.
Mr. Bandy was a native of Illinois, 69 years of age. At the age of 15 he
joined a party bound for California, and crossed the plains with an ox team.
He located at Sacramento in 1852. After a few months he went to Placerville,
where he was employed in the mines for three years. He next became a driver
on the stage line between Sacramento and Virginia City. He afterwards
freighted between the various mining camps. In 1850 he came to Yolo County
and pre-empted a quarter section of land on Oak Creek, in Hungary Hollow.
This small beginning grew until he owned 7000 acres of land in one body. He
also owns ninety acres of hop land on the Yolo side of the river, five miles
north of Sacramento. In 1888 he removed to a home he purchased in this city,
where he resided until his death. In 1893 he was elected City Trustee and
served until 1897. He was elected a Supervisor in 1896, and served until
1900.
On March 26, 1870, he married Miss Olive Jane ROOT, who survives him, as
do three children - Mrs. G.N. MERRITT and J.E. and Claude BANDY; two
sisters, Mrs. Mary GARRETT, of Marysville, and Mrs. Jane PATTERSON, of
Portland, Ore., and two brothers, Sylvester and Forest BANDY, of Bellingham,
Wash.
The funeral services will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. from the late
residence of the deceased.
