    Obituary

    GEORGE WEST
    Redwood City Democrat, January 22, 1914
    It was a severe shock to the many friends of George West yesterday when they learned that he was dead with a gunshot wound self inflicted and supposedly with suicidal intent. For several days West had been despondent and at different times had declared his purpose of killing himself, but his friends attempted to cheer him up and dissuade him from this course apparently succeeding.
    Late Tuesday night he left his home and went to his office in the building on Washington Street, where he maintained a store room and rented rooms. Shots were heard at different times through the night by roomers in the building but no attention was paid to them. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning, Frank Austin, one of the tenants, asked some friends to assist him in investigating the matter and following a trail of blood, they found the dead body of West fully dressed on a bed in one of the rooms, with a revolver still grasped in his hand. The bloody trail led from the office where the shooting took place to a room in the third story of the building and indicated that after West had shot himself, he had walked up two flights of stairs to the bed and lay himself down to die The sheriff and deputy coroner were summoned and the body was taken to the morgue, where upon examination, the bullet wound was found in the left thigh, severing the main artery and causing death from loss of blood.

          WM. A WESTRAN
          Redwood City Democrat
          June 28, 1906
          Although it was the fate of Wm. A. Westran to lose his life under the most stressing circumstances, far from home and relatives, his burial in this city last Sunday lacked none of that sympathy that would have been manifest were his body laid away in the presence of his nearest kin. Westran had resided in Redwood City for several years previous to the earthquake and was employed at the Frank Tannery. He was a well behaved, industrious young man, respected by many friends. On the day preceding the great disaster, he departed for Santa Rosa, where he had secured employment, little dreaming that he was going to his death.

          The next morning he was killed in the collapse of the Eagle Hotel. This body was taken from the ruins and hastily buried. Shortly afterwards the news of his untimely death reached this city and the members of the Metamora Tribe of Redmen immediately took steps to have his body brought here for interment, His family in Scranton, Pennsylvania were communicated with and gave their approval of the movement. After much correspondence back and forth, with the authorities of Sonoma county, permission was finally secured to remove the remains and the body arrived last Friday.

          On Sunday, the members of the tribe marched to the cemetery and with impressive ceremonies of the order, the body of the unfortunate young man was reverently laid to rest and his grave covered with the choicest flowers of spring, fragrant expression of the love and esteem in which he was held by all. His friends have announced their intention of erecting a suitable monument to his memory.
