• Notes

  It is with regret that we announced the sudden death of Wm. Forbes in our last issue. He was a native of Prince Edward Island, Canada and of Scotch descent. He came to Nevada 30 years ago and in 1875 settled in the Azusa Valley. He was married to Susannah McCallum of his native home a few years ago. Only a short time ago the writer visited him and his estimable [home?] and while complaining he was around and delighted in caressing the twins. He was a true friend, with a large and generous heart, but his maker called him home, thus we shall all have to part and be numbered in silent city of the dead.
