Marysville Daily Appeal - 10/22/1907, p1 - Lived Under Assumed Name - Michael Laherty Lived for Years In Marysville as Michael Long and On His Death His Relatives Were Hard to Locate - When Michael Laherty came to this country thirty years ago he forsook his father's name and took his mother's name. It was Long. Three months ago he died and since that time Public Administrator Arnoldy of this city has been earnestly trying to find relatives of the dead man that were known to exist. - Yesterday Mr. Arnoldy received a letter from the relatives whom he had been searching for for so long. And the finding of the kinfolk was in a way accidental and revealed the fact that Laherty had been living under a name that was not in reality his. - Laherty was a native of County Kilkenny, Ireland. After coming to this country he changed his name, for reasons which may never be known, and took his mother's maiden name which was Long. This is the name he was known by here and it was the name that the burial certificate was made out in and on which the administrator had been endeavoring to locate relatives. - Now that the trouble has been relieved, it is expected that the estate will be settled and the heirs will receive all that is coming to them.

Marysville Daily Herald - 6/23/1857, p2 - Death of Luther Laird - It is our sad duty to announce the demise of Luther Laird, one of the proprietors of the California Express, which occurred yesterday after a long and severe illness. Mr. Laird was an old resident of Marysville and one of her most esteemed citizens. He was a good neighbor, a warm friend and an honest man. In our personal relations with him as a fellow publisher, we always found him a courteous and obliging gentleman. His journey is over-his troubles are ended and he sleeps in peace. His consort and relatives have our sincere sympathy in their deep affliction.

Marysville Daily Herald - 6/24/1857, p2 - Funeral of Luther Laird - The last sad obsequies over the earthly remains of Luther Laird, one of the proprietors of the California Express, were performed yesterday afternoon. At 5 o'clock p.m., the procession formed in front of the late residence of the deceased and proceeded to the Presbyterian church, where the funeral services were performed by Rev. E. B. Walsworth. The remains were followed to the grave by the Masonic Fraternity, the Odd Fellows, the Fire Department and a large number of citizens. The procession was one of the largest ever seen in Marysville.

Daily Appeal - 5/21/1910, p1 - Old Estate Is Sought By Nephew - Texan Relative Inquires For Information About Uncle, Luther Laird - An article which appeared in a Sacramento morning paper and was copied in a Marysville newspaper yesterday has given rise in some quarters to the misapprehension that there is a flaw in the title of the United States Hotel property, which is owned by S. Lewek. There are absolutely no grounds for such a belief, as Mr. Lewek has a clear title to the property established by an abstract compiled twenty years ago. - The misunderstanding arose in this manner. County Clerk J. F. Eastman received a letter Thursday from F. M. Weatherred of Gunter, Texas, in which inquiry was made about the estate of his uncle, Luther Laird, who died in Marysville in 1857. A search of the court proceedings showed that no record had been made to indicate that the estate had ever been settled. The will had been filed and letters of administration issued to the widow, Jane M. Laird, but there the record ceased. In the will, lot 5, block 3, range D, the land upon which the United States Hotel is located, was left to the widow, and as no record could be found of the settlement of the estate, the continuity of the title seemed broken. - A search of the deed books showed, however, that Laird himself had never owned the property in question, but that his wife, Jane M. Laird, had purchased it in 1855 from Elizabeth Stockton and John Rueger. He therefore had no right to will the property to her, but it is supposed that he desired to make her title clear by bequeathing his community interest to her. - Mr. Weatherred stated in his letter that he had recently come across an old newspaper clipping in which his uncle's death was mentioned together with the fact that a large estate had been left. It was in hopes of obtaining some of the property at this late day that his inquiry was sent.

The young man has not been enjoying the best of health for several years in consequence of having grown with that rapidity so characteristic of California youths.

Evening Democrat - 10/28/1913, p1 - Fralley Lane Commits Suicide While Despondent - His Many Friends Here Surprised and Grieved To Learn About His Death - "Dear Pal: Look out for the booze! Don't let it get you the way it got me." - Leaving this brief note behind as the only explanation for his friends and relatives, Fralley Lane, son of Mrs. Alice Lane, a well known resident of this city, quietly went to his room at the Belvedere hotel, 1537 Clay street, San Francisco, early Monday afternoon and shot and killed himself with a revolver. The young man, who has been living away from Marysville for the past few years, left Elmer Davis, a friend with whom he had been rooming, in the lobby of the hotel in the forepart of the afternoon simply stating that he was going to his room and offering not the slightest intimation of the act he must have resolved in his mind at the time the two young men parted. When Davis went to the room several hours later he found the lifeless body of his companion, with the pistol and the note beside him. He was 23 years old. - Act Mystifies Friends - The victim was well known in this city where he was raised and attended the public schools. He worked in the shops of The Yuba Construction company for a short time a few years ago and later wen [sic] to Oakland, where he took a business course in one of the private school [sic] there. Up until recently he was employed as a solicitor by the Royal Typewriter company and since that time was employed as a bookkeeper by a large wool buying concern of San Francisco. He visited with relatives in this city in July and appeared then to be in the best of health and without cause for worry of any kind. It is known, however, that he was troubled with a weak heart and this is the only reason that friends in this city can account for the suicide. It is believed that the fact of this trouble weighed upon him and in a moment of despondency caused him to shoot the bullet into his brain. - Friends nor relatives in this city cannot account for the text of the note left behind, for if he was addicted to the use of liquor, it was not known locally. - Popular Young Man - Young Lane was one of the most popular young men in this city at the time of his residence here. He was unusually affable and seemed to have a faculty for making friends. He was a member of the local lodge of Foresters of America and before leaving Marysville took an active part in the social affairs of the order. His father, the late Amos Lane, died suddenly a few years ago from pneumonia. - The surviving relatives, besides his mother, include two sisters, Miss Maude Lane, who is a trained nurse in a San Francisco hospital, and Mrs. William Kelly of Berkeley, and a brother, Riley Lane, who resides with his mother in this city. The deceased was a nephew of Frank Lane, probation officer of Yuba county. - The remains will arrive here tonight from San Francisco and arrangements for the funeral be completed by Kelly Brothers. - Word of the young man's death reached here last night, but it was not known until today that he was prompted to take his own life.

LEONARD, a former resident of Sacramento, died at his home in this city at an early hour this morning. The attending physician had hoped of his recovery up to yesterday, when a change for the worse came, blood poisoning setting in. - Leonard was for a number of years a traveling salesman for the firm of Kirk, Geary & Co., druggist of Sacramento. About 7 years ago he came to Marysville in the interest of Kuhstaller, the breweryman, and has since conducted the Gilt Edge Saloon on D Street. - He was twice married, and leaves several sons and daughters by his first wife.

Marysville Evening Democrat - 7/13/1911, p1 - Joe [sic] Leonard Fell Into Waters Of Yuba River - Dead Body Was Found Within a Short Distance of the Place Where He Went To Get Water - The second drowning within four days occurred here Wednesday when James Leonard, better known as "Shorty" a familiar character of this city, lost his life in the Yuba river at a point on the south side of the stream about 100 yards below the D street bridge. Just how the unfortunate man fell into the water will perhaps always remain a mystery as there were no eye witnesses to the drowning, but the events leading up to the affair have been learned from Harry Veazie, one of the men who accompanied Leonard to the river bottoms and who was one of the last to see him alive. - Mr. Veazie told the following story to a Democrat reporter last night: "Shortly after 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon Joe Brannan, James Leonard and myself left this city to go to the south bank of the Yuba river to prepare a 'mulligan stew.' Upon arriving at the scene Brannan told Leonard to go to the river and get some water while he gathered the wood to build the fire. After waiting for some time for Leonard to come back with the water we decided to go ahead and prepare the stew, as we thought Leonard, who was considerably under the influence of liquor, had probably got 'sore' at something and had gone back to town or had gone into the bushes to lay down. Brannan went after the water himself after which we prepared and ate the stew, thinking that when we arrived in town, would find the missing man here. - It was quite late in the afternoon when we finished our operations across the river and came back to the city. Of course the first thing we did was to go to Leonard's regular headquarters and ask if he preceded us back to Marysville. We were informed that nothing had been seen of him since early in the afternoon, and it was then for the first time that it occurred to me that Leonard might have fallen into the river when he went to get the water. Tom Bennett and myself then decided to go back to the river and see if we could find anything of him. We found the path he had taken without difficulty and on going close to the bank of the stream discovered his dead body lying in the water. At this point the river is about eight feet deep but the body of Leonard was close to the surface, having caught on a small snag which held it from sinking to the bottom of the stream. This is all I know about the matter excepting that we notified the Coroner's office as soon as we found the body." - It was about 6 o'clock last evening when word of the drowning reached the Coroner's office, immediately after which John Hocking went to the scene and took the body in charge. Very little is known about Leonard's connections before coming to this city, which was about five years ago. He was a laborer and worked at several of the grading camps when he first arrived in this city. For several years he was employed as porter at the Canteen saloon when it was under the management of Joe Whyler. When he met his death he was employed in the same capacity at the St. Nicholaus saloon on D street. - The dead man is about 53 years of age and is said to be a native of Ireland, but emigrated to this country when quite young. He served in the United States army, it is said, for 21 years and was a veteran in the Spanish-American war, papers showing that he had served in the army being found on his person when taken from the river. It is thought that he has a sister living some place in California as he was heard to speak of her when employed by Mr. Whyler several years ago. Leonard came to Marysville from Benicia soon after being discharged from the army. - While the general opinion is that he fell into the river while in the act of getting the water and was unable to help himself owing to being under the influence of liquor, it is known that the man was subject to fits and it is possible that he may have been suddenly taken with one of these and in this helpless condition fell into the water. - Same page - Inquest Tonight - The inquest over the remains of the late James Leonard who was drowned in the Yuba river last night will be held at the Coroner's office in this city at 7:30 o'clock this evening.

[Different version of events than given above.] Marysville Daily Appeal - 7/13/1911, p1 - J. Leonard Drowns In Waters Of Yuba - James Leonard, a veteran of the civil war [Spanish-American war], who has been employed at the St. Nicholas saloon as a porter for the past five years, was drowned in the Yuba river shortly after 6 o'clock last night. His body was discovered a few minutes later by Tom Bennett, who was walking along the bank of the river, and was later taken from the river at the direction of Deputy Coroner Hocking. - According to statements made, Leonard, Harrie Veazie and another man whose name has not been ascertained, made a trip to the vicinity of the bee farm with the intention of cooling a "mulligan stew." - A fire was started and Leonard was detailed to get a pail of water. He went to the river, a distance of about seventy-five yards, but failed to return. After waiting about fifteen minutes his companions instituted a search. They scoured the river in the vicinity, but were unable to find any trace of the missing man. In the meantime Tom Bennett, who was walking along the bank of the river, noticed the body of Leonard half submerged in the water, where the depth was estimated at about twelve feet. Leonard had one arm around a pile of brush, and in this position Bennett left him while he hurried to town and notified Coroner Hocking. In the meantime Chester Lee had hurried out to the river with a long rope and after about fifteen minutes hard work finally succeeded in tying the unfortunate man to the brushes. - The rigid body of Leonard was removed from the river at 7:15 and immediately taken to the undertaking establishment of Kelly Bros. - Very little is known here regarding the family connections of Leonard. He had been putting his time in at the St. Nicholas saloon doing odd jobs. - An effort will be made to locate relatives of the dead man by the authorities. Leonard was about sixty years old.

On reaching the spot whence the summons was sounded he found several exited Chinamen endeavoring to save a countryman from a horrible death. – Bok Ling, a young Chinese cook who worked in one of the local restaurants, has been a victim of consumption for about four years. Recently the disease had made such inroads on his constitution that he was forced to retire to an invalid’s bed in one of the shanties in Chinatown. – Sometime last night he awoke and lighted a lamp for the purpose of warming up the room or enjoying a smoke from an opium pipe. It is supposed that when he again fell asleep the lamp was allowed to remain lighted beside his bed and the flames in some way ignited the covers. When discovered by his companions the bed covers were afire and the flames were making rapid headway up the walls of the shanty. – Bok Ling’s body was so badly burned and he was so weak from the wasting disease that he died shortly after the flames were subdued. – Coroner Bevan took charge of the remains this morning but did not deem it necessary to hold an inquest. The remains were interred in the Chinese plot in the City cemetery at 2 o’clock this afternoon.
