"WHALEN--DROWNED in the SAN JOAQUIN
RIVER -- Wednesday evening, about 6 o'clock, says the 'Bulletin,'
as the steamer J. Bragdon was on her way down from Stockton and about 20
miles from this city, a man named Peter WHALEN was seen to get deliberately
upon the rail, on the boiler deck, and leap into the river. A boat was
immediately lowered and pulled to the spot where he fell; but it was too
late; he had sunk and drowned! His body was not recovered. WHALEN
is supposed to have been of Irish parentage. He lived lately in Stockton
and then in San Francisco. He was a married man and leaves a wife. The
'Sun' says that great credit is due Captain SEELY for his efforts
to rescue the drowning man." Source: Stockton Daily Argus, 13 March

in social and Political life Passes Away at San Francisco Home. Fairfax
Henry WHEELAN, prominent for many years in San Francisco's club,
social and political life, died at his home, 1233 Taylor street, yesterday
morning after a lingering illness. At his bedside when the end came were
his wife Albertine, his sister, Miss Naomi WHEELAN
of Santa Barbara,
and two sons, Edgar STOW of Fairfax Randall WHEELAN
of San
Francisco. Born in San Francisco 58 years ago, WHEELAN
prepared
for Harvard at McClures's Military School. He was graduated from Harvard
with the class of 1880, together with Theodore ROOSEVELT, Robert
BACON,
Vanderlyn
STOW, Fred SHARON, William F. SHARP
and
William Hoff COOK. At Harvard he was editor of the "Crimson" and
a member of Hasty Pudding. He wrote several of the college plays and cartoons,
and two of these occupy either side of the proscenium arch in the Hasty
Pudding's new clubrooms. WHEELAN
was president of the Harvard Club
in San Francisco for many years, and was a charter member of the University
Club, which organization he served as president for two years. He was president
of the Chit Chat and Unitarian clubs a few years ago. As vice president
of the Southern Pacific Milling Company and a past president of the Western
Retail Lumbermen's Association he was instrumental in bringing the 1915
convention of lumbermen to San Francisco. Love of children led him to start
the "Homeless Children Commission" in the Native Sons Order, and he took
an active part in the workings of the Associated Charities. WHEELAN
became
prominently identified with local politics at the beginning of the graft
prosecution being one, of the leaders in the movement launched to clean
up San Francisco . For a number of years Mr. WHEELAN was director
and vice president of the Merchant's Association and a director in the
Merchant's Exchange. The funeral which will be held today, will be private."

gas in the bathroom of his residence. He had been a widower for two years
and grieved very much over the death of his wife. His despondency increased
by the fact that he had not been able to secure employment since he went
out on strike with the City Front Federation nearly a year ago. He had
four children, the youngest whom is eight years old, and the eldest, Hattie,
19. When Hattie and her brother John discovered the odor of escaping gas
at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning, they traced it to the bathroom and found
their father lying dead on the floor. The stopcock of the single gas burner
was fully open. On his person was found the following note: Dear Hattie:
I hope you will forgive me for this cruel deed as I cannot live the way
things have been going against me. No matter how hard I try, misfortune
seems to start in my way. I know it is cruel to leave you with all of the
responsibility, but I cannot stand it any longer. "Hattie, remember your
poor mother's last words to you, as she was good to all of us and may God
help you to keep her wishes. You know who your friends are, and I hope
you will get the insurance, which is in your name, as I know you will always
look out for the little ones, and may God bless you all is the last wish

"WILCOX--SUPPOSED MURDERER ARRESTED
-- A man named James WILCOX, who was in some way connected with
the murderer of SNELLING at Snelling's Ranch, on the Merced, about
a year since, has been arrested in San Francisco. The story of the connection
of WILCOX in the affair is thus told by the S.F. 'Bulletin:' It
appears that at the time specified, E.P. BARCLAY, Wm. STEVENS
and Jas. WILCOX, friends of EDWARDS, the murderer of William
SNELLING,
were transacting some business at the Sheriff's office in Snelling's. They
were attacked and fired upon by Charles F. BLOODWORTH, Dr. J.W.
GOODWIN
and Benj. WHITE, who were friends of the murdered man. The fire
was returned, and some 30 shots discharged -- taking effect upon BARCLAY
and STEVENS, both of whom died almost instantly. While apparently
in the agonies of death, BARCLAY raised himself and shot GOODWIN
through the head, killing him instantly.
GOODWIN had previously
given BARCLAY his death wound. BLOODWORTH and WHITE
were not injured, and WILCOX, an accomplice of
EDWARDS, the
murderer of SNELLING, escaped. This EDWARDS was hung not
long since and the prisoner WILCOX is supposed to have been a party
with him in many a bloody deed." Source: Weekly Stockton Democrat,

"WILLIAMS--FINAL SUMMONS FOR OLD PIONEER--JAMES
MONROE WILLIAMS PASSES TO REST AT THE AGE OF EIGHTY-SEVEN YEARS--Was
the President of the First Board of Trustees of Santa Rosa and Started
the First Water Works Here--Death ended the 1ong and eventful life of James
M. WILLIAMS, or as he was fami1iarly known, "Bridge" WILLIAMS,
shortly after one o'clock on Thursday afternoon.. The old pioneer had been
nearing the confines of the other world for a number of years, and had
long been weighed down by the infirmities of great age. He was eighty-seven
years of age. The deceased was widely known and years ago occupied an influential
position among the residents of the county at the time when he was taking
an active interest in its business and financial affairs. He was a kindly
old gentleman and never tired, during his last years, in greeting old friends
upon the street, by talking with them of pioneer days in California, Sonoma
county and Santa Rosa. Mr.
WILLIAMS was a native of Detroit, Mich.
He leaves five children. For many years prior to his death he made his
home with his daughter, Mrs. Fred G. NAGLE, wife of the county recorder.
The other surviving children are George and Frank WILLIAMS of Freestone,
James M. WILLIAMS and Mrs. T. H. BROWN of Stockton. Mr. WILLIAMSfirst
came to California in 1850 and immediately went to the mines in Sierra
county. In 1853 he went east and married and returned west immediately.
In the fall of 1860 Mr. WILLIAMS came to Santa Rosa. In 1872 he
was the first president of the board of Trustees of the City of Santa Rosa.
This was before the city government was vested in a mayor and council.
He started the first water works here, which was located on the Hahman
tract, the water being developed from what was known as the Hahman Springs.
He was at one time greatly interested in hydraulic mining. Mrs. WILLIAMS
passed away in 1887. The name "Bridge" was applied to Mr. WILLIAMS
on account of the fact that he once owned the block of property at Mendocino
and Tenth streets and had a fine residence there. At the time a slough
ran through the city and near the WILLIAMS house there was a bridge.
There were three WILLIAMS families in Santa Rosa at the time and
to distinguish Mr. J. M. WILLIAMS from the others he was known as
"Bridge" WILLIAMS on account of the fact that he resided near the
bridge. The deceased was a member of Santa Rosa Lodge, F. & A. M. For
over half a century the deceased was a Mason, being probably the oldest
Mason in the county, The funeral will take place under Masonic auspices
on Monday at 1:30 o'clock either from Masonic Hall or the NAGLE
residence." Source: Santa Rosa Press Democrat, 4 Dec 1903, p. 2.

February 9th--Some of the crew of ship Wild Pigeon are circulating a story
to the effect that during the late passage from China a sailor named John
WILLIAMS
fell from aloft and was killed; that the accident was in consequence of
a dispute between two officers and the ship, one of whom let go a brace,
throwing WILLIAMS from the yard-arm. No mention of the accident
is made in the Captain's report. The crew also say that deceased was cast
away in a whale ship before he joined the Wild Pigeon, and had a considerable
sum of money coming to him in San Francisco. He was a native of Maine."

from the effects of a cancer in the breast. Her death was not unexpected.
She had been a great sufferer for several months past from the dread disease
which caused her death. She underwent one or two surgical operations, which
afforded but temporary relief, the disease being too far advanced. Her
sufferings were borne with a patience and rectitude, only possible, in
a Christian spirit preparing to take its flight from this world of pain,
and enter the presence of its maker. She, with her husband, was among the
earliest settlers in Santa Rosa, locating here 25 years ago. She was the
mother of a large family of children, now grown to manhood and womanhood,
who, with their father, J.M. WILLIAMS, lack not for sympathy in
their bereavement. The funeral will take place from her late residence

"WILLIS--Called To Her Reward--Mrs.
Maggie BEATTYWILLIS Ends a Life of Earnest Christian Work--The death
of Mrs. Maggie BEATTYWILLIS, wife of O.P. WILLIS of this
city, who passed away to her eternal rest at an early hour yesterday morning,
was a beautiful ending to a beautiful Christian life. With perfect faith
in the promises of her Savior and a clear knowledge that the shadow of
the death angel's wing was creeping over her, she calmly bade family farewell,
sank into sleep, her only regret being that she had left behind her work
that she had hoped to finish. For many years Mrs. WILLIS had been
the leading spirit in temperance work in this city, and held the position
of County President of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She was
one of the organizers of the Children's Day Home, an institution in which
she was always deeply interested, and there are many young girls in this
locality to-day who owe their present happiness and good position in life
to the aid of the kindly guiding hand of this lovely Christian woman. In
speaking of her life work a few days since, Mrs. WILLIS said: "My
only regret is that I must leave it unfinished, but I realize that the
good work will continue, and the seed sown will become ripened grain. I
was but a grain of sand in the glorious realm of high endeavor, and after
I am gone someone will take up my share of the work and carry it on to
a successful ending." Mrs. WILLIS was born in Kentucky, her family
being prominent in the Blue Grass State. Mrs. WILLIS was a daughter
of the late Judge H.O. BEATTY and sister of the present Chief Justice
W.H. BEATTY of the Supreme Court. She was the mother of Mrs. Edward

"WINSHIP--STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION -- The
steam ferry boat, Contra Costa, exploded her boiler on Sunday morning last,
whilst crossing the bar to enter Oakland. She was just from San Francisco,
had been racing with another boat, the Oakland; hence, as is alleged, the
disaster. We append a list of the killed, taken from the 'Alta,' of Monday,
together with the number of the injured: List of the Killed -- The following
is the list of those who are known to have been killed: -David W. CADY,
a street contractor, formerly Deputy City Surveyor, aged 34 years, a native
of New York. Mr. C. was blown into the air and fell into the water; he
swam to the boat and was taken on board the Oakland, but died soon after.
Michael G. SMITH, the barkeeper of the boat, was engaged in opening
a basket of wine at the time of the explosion. The bar-room was entirely
carried away, and the unfortunate man was never seen afterwards. It is
rumored that a hand was subsequently found which, by a ring upon one of
the fingers, was recognized as belonging to Mr. SMITH. Henry L.
OSTRANDER,
one of the crew, was dreadfully scalded and was brought to this city [San
Francisco] and taken to the Marine Hospital, where he died soon after.
Albert WINSHIP, one of the firemen, was dreadfully scalded, and
taken on board the steamer Oakland and conveyed to the shore, where he
died in a few minutes. George McDOWELL, the head fireman of the
boat, a native of New Jersey, and a son of ex-Alderman McDOWELL,
of Sacramento. His remains were brought to this city [San Francisco] on
the wreck of the Contra Costa, but re-taken to Oakland for a Coroner's
inquest. Also another man, name unknown, who is said to be a keeper of
a boarding house on Pacific street. 24 scalded and wounded." Source:

Chilton R. WINSLOW, who acted as private secretary to his father,
Admiral WINSLOW, who committed suicide by shooting himself through
the head at the Occidental this morning, was unmarried, and arrived from
Panama on the Constitution, July 29th. His father and mother resided at
Tubbs' Hotel, Brooklyn. He was an only child. He left not a scrap of writing
regarding the event behind him, and there is no doubt that he committed
the act while delirious from long continued excess in drinking. He shot
himself in the same room in which Dr. KOON, who arrived on the same
steamer one trip earlier, committed suicide." Source: Stockton Daily

"WISEMAN--GONE TO HIS REST--Death
and Burial of Joseph P. WISEMAN, a Native Son. After an illness
of many months, Joseph P. WISEMAN, advertising solicitor
of the Record-Union, died at the home of his mother
in this city on Saturday morning. Mr. WISEMAN was a native of this
city and a son of the Late Joseph WISEMAN. He was 33 years of age.
Many years ago he had charge of the advertising department of the Bee,
and subsequently was business manger of the San Francisco Post, when his
uncle, John F. SHEEHAN, was the publisher of that paper. When the
Post
changed hands he went to Los Angeles, where he was placed in charge of
the advertising department of one of the larger daily papers in that city,
and later he filled the same position in San Diego. Returning to Sacramento
a few years ago, Mr. WISEMAN became advertising solicitor for the
Record-Union,
which position he filled up to the time of his death. Deceased was a young
man of superior business qualifications, especially in the line of his
calling. He had hosts of friends wherever he resided, and the number of
inquiries concerning his condition made daily during his illness attested
to his popularity in this city. One of the marked traits of his character
was his devotion to his widowed mother, to whom he gave all his time not
required by his daily duties. Throughout his long illness he was un-complaining,
and even when the last hope of recovery had to be abandoned he faced the
inevitable without a murmur, and was cheerful to the last. The funeral
of Mr.
WISEMAN took place yesterday from the Cathedral, whither
the body was escorted by the members of Sacramento Parlor, Native Sons
of the Golden West, of which he was a member. Besides the members of the
order there were present a large number of friends of the deceased and
family . Rev. Father GRACE officiated at the services, at the conclusion
of which he preached an eloquent and impressive sermon. During the service
the choir sang the "Misero," the "Liveria" and "Over the Line." Many beautiful
flower pieces were sent by sorrowing friends to decorate the casket and
the grave. The members of Sacramento Parlor took charge of the arrangements
for the funeral, which were well carried out. The pall-bearers were: D.J.
LONG,
George
LOCKE, M. LAVENSON, R.E. GREER, Theodore G.
