AARON, CHARLES FRANCIS

Appeal Democrat – 9/7/1953, p 1 – C. F. Aaron, Yuba Native, Dies At Home – Charles Francis (Frank) Aaron, 77, a lifelong resident of Marysville, died last night at 9:55 o’clock after an illness of several months.  He succumbed in his home at 710 D St., Marysville. – Born December 1, 1875, Aaron attended Marysville schools, picking up some dollars during his high school years delivering the Marysville Democrat by ponyback to its Yuba City subscribers. – Thereafter he attended Stanford University, having for a roommate during part of that time ex-President Herbert Hoover, and graduated in 1897 with an A.B. degree and a degree in electrical engineering. – Prior to graduation he had a position lined up with Yuba River Power Company, predecessor of the Pacific Gas & Electric Co., but by reason of the death of his father on April 27, 1897, he was called upon to abandon his chosen career of electrical engineering and to take over the interests of his father. – Hub Businessman:  He bought into the Fuller and O’Brien real estate and insurance firm with offices in the Ellis building.  Sometime later the remaining member of the firm, James K. O’Brien, former president of the Yuba-Sutter County Chamber of Commerce and so-called “Mayor of Smartville,” retired and Aaron carried on the business alone until 1926, he took in as a partner the late John H. Fuller, son of the former Jesse B. Fuller, and conducted the business in partnership until Fuller’s death in 1947. Since then Aaron has been associated with W. W. Burke and Leta Rucker in carrying on the real estate and insurance business. – One of the founders of the Yuba-Sutter Board of Fire Underwriters, Aaron throughout his career had been active in the scientific advancement of the insurance business.  For many years he had been a member of the State Farm Committee and in that capacity had been one of the authors of the Standard Farm Forms now in use in this State. – Civic Affairs:  Frank Aaron had played a quiet but active role in the political and financial development of Marysville.  He was a former member of the city council, vice president and general manager of the Marysville Water Co., president of the Northern California Bank of Savings, president of he Marysville Hotel Co., and one of the founders as well as the president of Marysville Savings and Loan Association, a position from which he recently retired in favor of Martin Hector, former manager of the First Federal Savings and Loan Assn. of San Jose. – Aaron came from a pioneer Marysville family.  His father, Frank W. H. Aaron, a native of England, always regretted the storm which kept his ship outside the Golden Gate until Jan. 2, 1850, thereby depriving him of the satisfaction of being a genuine ‘49er.  Arriving in San Francisco, he answered an ad for an assayer by the late Dave Knight, donor to the City of Marysville of Knight Park, site of the high school and junior college, and shortly thereafter the elder Aaron settled in Marysville. – A number of years later he married  Mary Musgrove Bobo, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Charles D. Bobo of Union Scot, Carolina.  On Jan. 16, 1875, they purchased from William B. Latham Jr., the family home at 704 D St., and it was there the following December that Frank Aaron was born. – He married Bertha Cornforth on Dec. 2, 1903, and thereafter purchased the Rideout home and moved it to the lot adjoining the residence of his parents.  Here he and his wife resided until her death in 1920, and there Frank Aaron continued to reside until his own death. - Neither he nor Mrs. Aaron left any known relatives, and it is thought that the bulk of his estate will go for charitable purposes. - Funeral services will be conducted at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in Hutchison's Colonial chapel, Marysville, with Rev. Victor Hatfield, rector of St. John's Episcopal church officiating.  Members of the Masonic Corinthian lodge will participate in the rites. - Entombment will be at the masoleum [sic] at the Yuba City cemetery. - Aaron had requested that those wishing to send remembrances may contribute to St. John's church Memorial fund or other worthy funds of their choice.

(Wright) Allnett, Brownsville postmaster and for 40 years a resident of that district of Yuba county, died unexpectedly at his home Saturday morning.

ALLNETT, MARGARET JOSEPHINE

Marysville Appeal April 20, 1920 page 4 - Pioneer Woman Passes Away Near Brownville - Brownsville, April 19--Mrs. Margaret Josephine Allnett died here Saturday night, April 17, of infirmities due to old age. Mrs. Allnett was born in Maryland, May 16, 1841, coming to California in 1853 with an ox team.  She rode horseback the entire distance helping to drive 150 head of cattle. Landing at Stone House, four miles south of Bangor, she lived there many years where she married Will Kimball. Three children were born of this union. Afterwards marrying Jesse J. Allnett, she moved to Tehema Co., where she lived until her husband's death in 1875. Removing to Yuba County, she spent the remainder of her life near Bangor and at Browns Valley. Mrs. Josephine Rumer of Oakland, Mrs. T. R. Merrill of Los Angels, and J.W. Allnett of Brownsville survive. (Her parents were Francis Early and Mary (Carron) Early Laverty. Her children were: Annie B. (Kimball) Merrill (1862-1946), Josephine L. (Allnett) Gordon Rumer (1876-1953), Amy Francis Allnett (1878-1912), and John Wright Allnett (1879-1938). Based on the date of her second marriage in 1868, I believe the date for Will Kimball's death to be wrong. Mary Ellen (Laverty) Williams was her half sister.

ASHLEY, JAY A.

 

Appeal Democrat - 4/13/1943, p1 - Jay A. Ashley Passes at 85 - Jay A. Ashley, for years one of Sutter county's most  enterprising citizens, died this morning in the Rideout hospital, where he had been under treatment recently.  He was 85 years old and had been retired from business for some time, and from his bird and animal project south of Yuba City for a number of months. - Ashley was the founder of the Ashley Manufacturing Co., which he established modestly in 1898, and which grew in proportions until in a few years it was employing up to 25 men.  It is still being operated, but its lines of products have changed from time to time as conditions changed.  It is one of the best equipped machine shops in the central valley. - Ashley was born in Ohio and was a railroad apprentice there before coming to California in 1883 and locating in Sutter county.  He served some time as engineer for the Stat Milling Co. here. - Pioneered in Building Orchard Equipment - His manufacturing company designed and built orchard and dry yard equipment that was widely used, being constructed to fit the needs of the growers.  Ladders of the Ashley designs were produced at a rate of 8000 to 10,000 a year for awhile and shipped all over the coast. - Ashley married Miss Emma Van Dorn of Yuba county, who preceded him in death in 1930.  Until recently he continued to occupy the home he had built south of Yuba City, where the machine shop is located, but advancing age caused him to move to Yuba City, to the home of Mrs. Ethel Ashley. At his home, after retiring from business, he conducted an extensive  bird and animal farm, along with his orchards, growing many varieties of poultry, pheasants, peacocks and rare birds.  He also had a paddock of deer obtained from Treasure island at the close of the exposition. - A son, Russell Ashley, now operates the manufacturing company.  Another son is Byron Ashley of Vallejo.  A daughter is Mrs. Carmen Buehler of Oakland.  Funeral arrangements, in charge of Ullrey memorial chapel, are awaiting arrival of the absent relatives.

ATCHISON, MARTHA

 

Marysville Evening Herald – 11/01/1853 – OBITUARY – Died, at Foster’s Bar, Oct. 28th, of convulsions caused by dentation, Martha, infant daughter of J. H. and Jemima Atchison, aged thirteen months and sixteen days. Although an infant she had twined herself around the hearts of many friends of the family of which she was the pride and joy, and has left a void in that family circle that can never be filled. Yet, weep not, fond Mother, and lament not, little Sisters, though all that was mortal of thy little daughter and sister is covered by the cold clods of the valley; yet her pure spirit has gone to join the myriads who surround the throne of our Heavenly Father, and regret not that she in her purity has passed away from this vale of tears, for hath not our Saviour said, “Suffer little children to come unto to me, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
There was a voice of wail and woe
In death’s still chamber heard,
And the mother’s heart beat faint and low
Like the heart of a wounded bird,

‘Neath the Sierra’s frowning brow---
Where lightening wreaths in fiery crown,
There is a new made grave, that now
Shows where a new born star went down.   Foster’s Bar. Oct. 30, 1853  (B. S.)
