Charles Andrew Brown 1841-2005 Woodland, Yolo, California

Article title: Woodland Daily Democrat
Article date: October 9 1905
Article description: C. A. Brown Dead.
Yolo County Has Lost Another Prominent Citizen.

After Lying Unconscious for a Week He Passed Without a Struggle Into Eternity.
Through the gale that raged on Sunday the ship of life, bearing Charles A. Brown, drifted with furling sails into the harbor of endless calm. At 7 a.m. port was reached, and the passenger of a 64-year voyage embarked on that shore from which no traveler returns.

Four weeks ago Sunday Mr. Brown yielded to his adversary, disease, against which he had gamely battled for months, and retired to the couch from which he never was to rise. Mr. Brown was a man of splendid proportions, and his commanding figure was carried erectly when he walked the streets of Woodland for the last time, but for nearly a year his wasted cheeks have told the story of which his lips did not deign to complain. The last day he spent in the outer world was when he returned with his wife from a few days spent on the summit. He was unconscious for a week prior to his demise, and he passed with scarce a tremor to the slumber of death from its grim counterfeit that had torn the hearts of those who anxiously watched beside him. He was a victim of cancer of the liver and dropsy.

The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence. C. Calvert Smoot of San Francisco will officiate.

Charles Andrew Brown was born in Lexington, Kentucky on December 29, 1841, and was one of 10 children of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. F. Brown. C. A. spent his days in Lexington up to his 16th year, when that self-reliance that predominated in his nature prompted him to strike out for the far-famed land of gold, California. Packing through the Sierras, he reached Sacramento on August 2, 1855. He then went to Grass Valley and worked in the mines around there, as he did later in Mariposa and Tuolumne counties. In 1862 he came to Yolo, and with the exception of brief stays in St. Helena and the state of Nevada in 1864, his home has been in this county. In his youth Mr. Brown learned the carpenter's trade, and he worked at that when he first came here. He was elected constable of the Grafton township over 30 years ago, and after his term of office expired he engaged in business in Woodland. The collection agency which he started expanded into a much more pretentious business. He handled insurance, real estate and rents, and become one of the best-known men of the city, and his commercial ability enabled him to provide handsomely for his family, which was ever his first thought.

Mr. Brown was married in 1862 to Miss Fannie Ingram. Three children were born to them, and two are living, Mrs. Miriam Montz of Verdi, Nevada, and Mrs. Blanche Perkins of San Jose, Cal. Both daughters visited their father during his last illness, but were compelled to return to their homes, and so were not present at the hour of dissolution.

Six children were the fruit of the second marriage of Mr. Brown, his wife being Miss Clara Leman, who died in 1902. Four of their children are living, and were under their father's roof during his last hours. Mrs. Ella Hornlein lives in Arbuckle, Cal., Mrs. Lillian Morrow in San Antonio, Texas, and the two sons, Charles and Walter, in Woodland.

Of the six sons and four daughters who comprised the family of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. F. Brown but two sons now remain, James and Ed of Bloomington, Illinois.

Among the many friends who were deeply concerned because of Mr. Brown's hopeless state was Mrs. E. J. Smith of San Francisco, a lifelong friend of the dying man, and she came from her home and stayed near her old friend until life's sun had set for him.

On December 29, 1904, Mr. Brown married Mrs. Nannie Shriner in San Francisco. She is a sister of Mrs. E. C. Laugenour and H. C. Watkins, both of Woodland. To her, as well as to the sons and daughters is the sympathy of the community extended.

Clara Leman Brown 1852-1902 Woodland, Yolo County, California

Article description: Yields To Death,
Mrs. C. A. Brown's Life Unexpectedly Closes.

A Hemorrhage. Following Weeks of Feebleness, Terminates Fatally - Funeral Thursday

The announcement of the death of Mrs. Clara Brown, the estimable wife of Charles A. Brown, at a late hour Tuesday afternoon, was a painful surprise to the many friends of the family.

It has been generally known for a long time that her health was not good, but there were but few of her most intimate friends who suspected that she was so near to death's door.

For 10 years she has been a victim to pulmonary affliction, and subject to light hemorrhages. About two months ago the hemorrhages became more frequent and she was compelled to remain in bed a great deal of the time.

On Tuesday her condition appeared to be no worse than usual, but a few minutes before 5 o'clock the final hemorrhage came on and she soon passed away. Most of the family were at her bedside when the hour of dissolution came.

The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. O. P. Shrout will conduct the services at the residence.

The maiden name of the deceased was Clara Leman. She was a native of St. Louis, Missouri, and was born on the 18th of January, 1852. She was therefore 50 years, 9 months and 9 days of age.

While she was but a babe Mrs. Brown's parents removed from St. Louis to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their stay in the coal regions was of brief duration, and in 1857 the family crossed the plains to California.

They came direct to Yolo county and engaged in farming on a tract of land about two and a half miles west of Woodland. Mrs. Brown was educated in the public schools of Yolo county. Indeed, she was a resident of the county for nearly 45 years.

On the 13th of January, 1871, deceased was married to C. A. Brown. The ceremony was performed in a house which stood upon the site of the cottage where she breathed her last, and for 31 years that was her home except for a time while the present cottage was in course of construction.

Mrs. Brown was the mother of five children, of whom four survive her. These are Mrs. Ella Allen and Mrs. W. E. Morrow, and two sons, Charles and Walter. All of them reside in Woodland.

An only sister, Mrs. Fannie Huntley, of Independence, Oregon, had been visiting the Brown family for some time and comforted Mrs. Brown during her last hours. An only brother, C. E. Leman, lives west of Woodland.

Mrs. Brown was a devout member of the Christian church and her life was without ostentation, an illustration of the virtues of a Christian woman, and she died cherishing a Christian's hope.

To kindred she was affectionate and devoted, to friends faithful and unfaltering, and her death will be mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

I am not related but my research includes the Brown surname so I hope this might be of help to another family.

Obit: ROGERS, Nellie Aug. 19, 1905

rldrev — 25 Feb 2008 8:43:46 GMT

Woodland Daily Democrat
Saturday Evening, Aug. 19, 1905

A DEPLORABLE DEATH.

Late Miss Nellie Rogers Typical of Lovely Young Womanhood.

The death of Miss Nellie May Rogers of Esparto was duly chronicled in Friday evening’s “Democrat.” At that time we were able to ascertain only that she passed away shortly after the noon hour and that her affliction was muscular rheumatism and heart trouble, both of which seem to have developed while she was stopping with her grandmother, Mrs. Tutt, and working in a Guinda orchard. Our Guinda correspondent noted that about three weeks ago while working in that vicinity she was taken seriously ill and was moved to the home of her parents, near Esparto. It seems that from the time of her first affliction she continued to fail until death relieved her sufferings.

Deceased was a native of Capay, where she was born on the 9th of January, 1884. She was therefore 21 years, 8 months and 8 days old. A few years ago her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Rogers, removed to Esparto, where the family has since resided.

Miss Rogers was a graduate of the Yolo county public schools and of Esparto high school, and was a young woman of strong intellectuality. Her genial disposition, charming manners, many virtues and admirable traits of character endeared her to all who came within the circle of her acquaintance.

She was a prominent and active member of Phoebe Lodge, I. O. O. F. of Capay, and the funeral, which will be held Sunday afternoon, will be under the auspices of that lodge. Rev. Robert McKinney will conduct the services at the family residence at 3:30 p.m. Interment will be in the I. O. O. F. cemetery at Capay.

Note: daughter of James and Nettie (Drever) Rogers. Granddaughter of David and Harriet (Lowrey) Drever. Harriet married R.E. Tutt after David's death.

Bertha Brown of Woodland, California

Donna Schulte Loth — 17 Jul 2006 2:25:45 GMT

I am looking for any information about the family of Bertha Brown, born May 4, 1876 in Texas, died June 7, 1965 in Los Gatos, California.

According to her 1965 obituary, Bertha lived in Woodland for many years before moving to a convalescent home in Los Gatos. She was survived by a grandson, Frank Tibbets, and five great-grandchildren.

I have found the listing for her burial at Mission City Memorial Park in Santa Clara County, but she does not appear to be buried next to a husband, so I am assuming they were divorced by the time she died.

Any leads would be helpful.

"Kanaka Cutoff" near Knight's Landing named for person?

Duke McAdow — 17 Mar 2004 7:46:52 GMT

Hello:

I'm researching Hawaiians in 19th-century California. Does anyone know how the canal called Kanaka Cutoff got it's name? Is it named after a specific person or group of people?

The cutoff is to the southeast of Knight's Landing, halfway to the Garden Hwy. Is it possible that it is simply a misspelling of nearby Karnak? Or could Karnak be a variation of Kanaka?

I've found the cutoff referred to at a mining website (http://www.calsign.com/mining/), and at a water quality control board website (http://www.ccamp.org/ccwsd/SiteLocator/CountyNavigator/Count...).

Thanks in advance! If you'd prefer, you may email information to me, as well.

I am trying to find death or burial information of my great grandfather's first wife, Anna Hughes, who died in Cacheville, Yolo County, in August 2, 1877. They had only been married a few months when she died. Hughes was her married name. She was born in 1854 and her family name could have been Reed. Her obit in a family scrapbook says she was buried in Cacheville and was to be moved home to Michigan later than winter. However, I find no record of her death, burial, or reburial in Michigan. I do not know in which cemetery she was buried in Cacheville, if there was more than one at that time. Any help will be appreciated.

Peter Moritz SCHAEFFER (1930-2003) (obit.)

Peter M. Schaeffer

Peter Moritz Schaeffer, a professor of German at UC Davis, died June 28, 2003, in Sacramento. He was 73.

A native of Breslau, Germany, he was born May 14, 1930. He studied both theology and literature, receiving his licentiate in theology from the University of Ottawa in 1959 and his doctorate from the department of Germanic languages and literatures at Princeton University in 1970.

He taught at Princeton from 1970-74, then at UC Berkeley from 1974-76 before joining the UCD department of German and Russian in 1976.

Schaeffer's dedication to his students received special recognition when he was presented with UCD's Outstanding Adviser Award in 1989 and Outstanding Mentor Award in 1996. A passionate teacher, he gave selflessly of his time, electing yearly to teach, on an overload basis, courses in religious studies, classic and medieval studies, in addition to his course load in German, a colleague said.

He was also an accomplished pianist who offered annual concerts on the UCD campus. He often treated his students, friends and colleagues to his playing in his Davis home.

He is survived by his wife Maria Kallai, sisters Susanne Manovill and Irene Stockton, sons Stephen and Raymond Kallai and their families, nephews David and Philip Manovill and their families, and nieces Jessica and Carlisle and their families.

A memorial service is planned for November on the UCD campus.

Ken Barrett — 30 May 2006 12:28:58 GMT

Anson D. Eldridge b.<1830> NY, & Sarah Barrett b.<1832> Portage Co., OH were married 04 Jul 1854 in Medina, Co., OH. Their two children were: Maria b.<1858> & Arthur W./N. b.<1864> both in Medina Co., OH. The family next appears on the 1870 Fairview Twp., Caldwell Co., MO census.

Subsequently Anson, Sarah, & Arthur show up on the 1880 Woodland, Yolo Co., CA census; Maria is no longer with them. I have no information on the family beyond this point. Maria would have been <22> yrs old in 1880; perhaps she married in MO, or CA.

I would appreciate any information on these family members!

George D. STEPHENS b. 1828 MO; mar. Nannie LUCAS. Need death date.

Revae — 30 Apr 2006 1:24:48 GMT

In Yolo Co. Biographies George Dickson STEPHENS' bio states he died Dec. 22, 1901 Yolo. However, 1880 Yolo Co. census lists wife, Nancy/Nannie (LUCAS) STEPHENS, as a widow. She is listed with stepdau., Katherine and her children.

Can anyone confirm deathdate of 1901 for George, and if this is correct. why is Nannie listed as a widow?

Thanks for your help.
