"DAVIS--ALBERT DAVIS PASSES--Hemorrhage of the Lungs Was Immediate Cause of Death--WOODLAND, Oct. 7 - Albert DAVIS was found dead Sunday morning, and his physician states that hemorrhage of the lungs was the immediate cause. He had been under treatment for cardiac asthma for a number of years and had been frequently warned that he must take every possible precaution against hemorrhages. Two or three days previous he had a mild attack and his friends advised him to remain in bed until he had fully recovered. Saturday night he complained of feeling rather worse than usual and he retired early. At midnight some friends called to see him and they saw no indication of hemorrhage. About 7 o'clock Sunday morning he was found dead. He probably died between 4 and 5 o'clock. Will DAVIS, brother of the deceased, is in San Francisco. Efforts have been made to locate him but so far without avail. The funeral will probably be held on Wednesday and it will be held under the auspices of the Eagles. Deceased was also a member of the Neutawanha lodge, No. 245, I.O.O.F., of Fulton, New York. Owing to the absence of the brother we have been unable to procure any data from which to write a sketch of the life of the deceased. It is a matter of general knowledge, however, that he had lived in Dunnigan, Blacks and Woodland for the last fourteen or fifteen years. He was well liked by all who knew him."

"DAVIS--Yesterday morning John W. DAVIS, formerly a Sergeant in Company G, 14th Regiment of Infantry, U.S.A., was found dead in his room at the Philadelphia House, on Bush street. A gland was sufficient to show that he had committed suicide by cutting the arteries of his right arm with a razor that was found on a table in the room. Near the razor was a letter addressed: "'Call' office, Frisco," and it read as follows: "The 'Daily Call:' Publish this letter for me. I am going to fill a suicide's grave, and may God forgive me. I have left $1,000 in the bank at Portland for the Orphan's Home. May the children who receive the benefit of it be men for the good of society. John W. DAVIS." For several days previous to his death he gambled his money very freely, and on Thursday night lost about $500 at a faro table. He was last seen alive by a servant girl in the house, who went to his room to make up his bed. He was still in bed, and told her he did not care about having the room cleaned at that time, and that when he wanted her he would send for her. The Coroner was notified, and took charge of the remains." Source: Stockton Daily Independent, 4 May 1871. Transcribed by Dee.

"de FREMERY--DIED WHILE TRAVELING--James de FREMERY, the Well-Known Capitalist, Passed Away on a Train in Colorado. James de FREMERY, who, according to the telegraphic dispatches, died in Colorado while en route to this city, was the founder of the well-known firm of GILDEMEESTER, de FREMERY & Co. of this city which is still in existence under the firm name of James de FREMERY & Co. The deceased was president of the Chamber of Commerce for two terms and was active in the management of the Savings and Loan Society, the Giant Powder Company, The American Sugar Refining Company, several Oakland Street railway companies and various other enterprises. He was the Consul for the Netherlands for many years, receiving in recognition of his services the Order of Knight of the Netherlands Lion. He was also Consul for Mecklenberg Schwerin. His work, however, by which he was best known in this city was in connection with the San Francisco Savings Union, founded by himself, John ARCHIBALD, Albert MILLER and others in 1862, and of which he was president for about twenty-five years, the success of the institution being in great measure due to his financial skill and the confidence reposed by the public in his prudence and integrity. Mr. de FREMERY was born on February 17, 1826, on the estate of his family at Ouwendyck, near The Hague, Holland. Leaving home at an early age, he arrived in New York in 1848, where he engaged in commercial pursuits. He remained there three years and left for California by way of Panama, arriving here in 1849. Socially he was excellent company, hospitable and charitable; deserving poverty never appealed to him in vain, and his charities followed the ungrateful as they did those who appreciated his benevolence. He was a man of extensive reading, and a writer of force; he contributed to the newspapers when there were objects to accomplish in the interests of progress and good government; he wrote miscellaneous articles on many occasions, and published several books. Of late years he has been busy with the preparation of a local history. The wife of Mr. de FREMERY died several years since in Switzerland.

Under this same firm name the business was incorporated in May 1905, with a capital of $25,000. A short time after this a fine new brick building was erected and stocked with a complete line of dry goods, groceries, merchandise and all other kinds of implements, which soon earned their well known motto: "Everything for Everybody."

"De YOUNG--Dispatch from San Francisco, Dec. 1 -- This afternoon, about half past 3 o'clock, an intense excitement prevailed for some minutes over the report that Judge LAKE, of the Municipal Court, had shot and killed Charles De YOUNG, of the 'Chronicle,' on Montgomery street, between Sacramento and California street, and that Judge E.D. WHEELER, who was passing, had been mortally wounded. There are numerous versions of the affair, but that most prevalent is that the 2 met on the sidewalk and had high words on account of articles attacking the Judge recently published in the 'Chronicle,' when LAKE struck De YOUNG with the pistol on the side of the head, inflicting a somewhat sever flesh wound, and one chamber of the pistol being discharged, the bullet passing through the thigh of Judge WHEELER, inflicting a severe, but not dangerous, wound. LAKE claims that De YOUNG attempted to draw his pistol when he drew his and struck him as stated. LAKE was instantly arrested by officers who were near at the moment, and taken to Chief CROWLEY's office and from thence to Judge PENNIE's office where he gave bail to appear to answer a charge of assault to murder. De YOUNG's friends claim that his wound came from the bullet and not from a blow with the butt of a pistol as stated, and some of the bystanders thought they heard 2 shots instead of 1. The pistol had only 1 chamber discharged." Source: Stockton Daily Independent (Stockton, San Joaquin Co., CA), 2 Dec 1871. Transcribed by Dee.
