INDIAN JOHNNY “Indian Johnny,” well known to many of our citizens, is dead. He recently got into a drunken row with some of his own tribe who beat him to death, three of his ribs having been broken, and it is even said by some who profess to know that his throat was also cut. Two brothers—Indians—Moody and Pete, the former of whom is stone-blind, are strongly suspected of having killed him. Johnny was, when under the influence of liquor, a dangerous character. He was but nineteen years of age. |

INGRAHAM, CHARLES D. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 7 - Charles D. Ingraham, a horseman who was run over by a Southern Pacific train at Roseville at 3:30 o’clock Monday morning, died last night at the railroad hospital in this city as the result of his injuries. It was believed that in boarding a car in which he had some stock, he slipped and fell beneath the wheels, severing his left leg above the knee. He was hurried to this city where he received treatment, but owing to the loss of blood and the nervous shock, he failed to rally. Ingraham was about 35 years of age and is believed to have relatives in Montana, from which state he came. |
IRELAND, MICHAEL WILLIAM "Nothing in his life / Became him like the leaving it; he died / As one who had been studied in his death, / To throw away the dearest thing he owed, / As ‘twere a careless trifle." Shakespeare. And thus did Michael William Ireland pass away into a peaceful sleep that left the kindly look upon his face that was wont to greet every day. He was born at Amsterdam, NY, June 10, 1840. He came to Roseville 37 years ago and had made this his home every since. He was married in 1865 to Miss Sarah M. Butler. To this union there was born five children, four daughters and one son. In his early manhood he was engaged in the broom and match business with a factory at Sacramento, but in latter years he had lived in this city. The immediate cause of death was old age, he having also been a long and patient sufferer from rheumatism, and this combined with his confinement to his bed left him in a weakened condition. He leaves to mourn his loss a devoted wife, four daughters, Mrs. George Lamphrey and Mrs. A. E. Zonnevylle of Roseville, Mrs. G. M. Dyche of Auburn, and Mrs. W. J. Davis of Sacramento, and the son, George Ireland of Roseville. The funeral will be held Friday, and the remains will be at the West undertaking parlors to be viewed by friends during the day. Funeral services will be held at the Catholic Church at four PM. Interment will be at IOOF Cemetery. Besides his relatives, he leaves a host of friends to mourn his death. |
