        Death of Mrs. Ritchie

        Mrs. Isabella Ritchie, the venerable mother of Mrs. James Crowe, of this place, died quite suddenly at the residence of another daughter, Mrs. Anna Dennis, at Tehama, on Friday morning, of last week. Mrs. Ritchie had not been ailing at all until within a couple of days of her death, when she complained of a difficulty in breathing and some pain in her chest. This was overcome after a little, and on Thursday she was more comfortable, and able to be about the house. But she had a presentment that her end was near at hand, and insisted on giving final directions as to herself and messages to absent ones. She passed a comfortable night Thursday, and Friday morning was feeling even better, until after breakfast, when she experienced a revival of the difficulty in breathing,
        and insisted that she was going. Her daughter, Mrs. Dennis,
        ministered to her, and supported her in her arms as she reclined upon the
        bed, talking pleasantly and encouragingly to her. Soon the old lady
        seemed to fall asleep, and Mrs. Dennis continued to hold her lest she should disturb her by laying her down. Presently Mr. Dennis entered
        the room and discovered that she was dead. She had passed away
        so quietly and peacefully that her daughter merely supposed she had fallen asleep.
        Mrs. Ritchie was born in Jamaica, West Indies Islands, April 20, 1804, of
        Scotch parentage. Her husband. Rev. Wm. Ritchie, was an English
        Wesleyan missionary, located at Jamaica. He died about twenty years
        ago, leaving Mrs. Ritchie with four daughters just verging upon womanhood. A short time afterwards the illness of one of the daughters suggested a change of climate, and Canada being recommended,
        she moved there, settling in Kingston. There three of the daughters married, one to Mr. James Crowe, now of this place, another to Mr. George Roche, now of San Francisco, and the third
        to Mr. Twaites, of Jamaica, where she now resides. Mr. and Mrs.
        Crowe soon moved to this Coast, where they were visited by the unmarried
        daughter, who was so well pleased with the climate that she returned
        and brought her mother out. Mr. and Mrs. Roche soon followed.
        Elizabeth, the unmarried daughter, was afterwards won by Amos Dennis, then of this place, and now of Tehama. Mrs. Ritchie has ever since passed her time alternately with these three daughters, at either of whose homes she was ever a welcome guest. She was a woman of great intelligence, thorough education and strong religious convictions. She was, indeed, "a mother in Israel," and having an abiding faith in a living Redeemer, was at all times prepared to meet the great change. She lived to a good old age, a blessing to her children and her children's children, passing her time in works of charity and love, beloved by all who were so fortunate as to enjoy
        her acquaintance.
        At her own request her remains were brought to this place for burial. The funeral was numerously attended from the Episcopal Church last Monday afternoon, the Rev. R. H. Church officiating, and the Rev. Mr. Sink, of the Congregational Church, assisting. The interment took place in Mr. Crowe's beautiful lot in Union Cemetery.

              AMOS ROBERTS
              Times Gazette
              April 21, 1888

              Last week, we noticed briefly the death of Amos Roberts of this place. Mr. Roberts has been in the employ of the Hawes family for the past eighteen years and but little is known of his former history. Thirty years ago, he came to California from Maine with his wife, a daughter, and two sons. He was wealthy, possessing a fortune of at least $100,000. Three years later his wife and daughter died and to lessen the pangs of grief at the loss of his wife and child, he look to drink. His two boys were taken care of by a kind lady friend and raised, one afterwards dying of small pox. From that time the unfortunate man sank lower and lower, yielding hopelessly to the demon of drink. His wealth vanished and without money or friends, he came to this county. Mr. Roberts has always been known here as one who spent his earnings for drink but never during his deepest courtesy which belong only to a man of intelligence and refinement. His last years were spent with Mr. Schroeder doing light work about the place. His fondness for little children made him a general favorite with the family. During his illness, he was kindly cared for by the Schroders and his remains were interred at their expense. His son died two weeks ago in San Francisco from consumption.

                    San Mateo Times Gazette, 18 July 1891
                    J. L. ROBINSON'S DEATH Sudden Demise of a Well-Known Citizen and Mason
                    John Logan Robinson died at the residence of H.M. Covert on Phelps Street, Thursday at 7 o'clock p.m. while sitting on his easy chair, without pain, his wife and daughter with Mr. Covert and family being present. Mr Robinson had passed the sixty-ninth milestone of his earthly race, was born in the State of Indiana, lived some time in Illinois, where forty years ago he became an entered apprentice in a Masonic Lodge, and cast his lot in California in 1861. He came to this county fourteen years ago. Up to two years ago he worked at his trade when the malady that brought him to his end began first to display itself. Since the 1st of May he has been a very sick man, suffering extremely, a mystery to himself and others so that he exacted a solemn promise of his friends that an autopsy should be made after his death. This was made yesterday morning by Drs. Ross, Barret, Froeman and Loveland and revealed the fact that the cause of death was "cirrhosis of the liver" a condition of Infiltration sympathetically affecting the lungs and inducing dropsy. The patient could not lie down and was compelled to lean forward to secure immunity from suffocation. Finally all pain passed away and, closing his eyes, he slept the sleep that knows no waking, without fear. Mr. Robinson was a good citizen, a faithful husband, peaceable and useful and Master Mason and member of San Mateo Lodge, No. 168 F. and A.M.
