McCARTY, JOHN TEMPLETON

Daily California Express - 2/6/1860, p2 - Death of Mr. McCarty - Our citizens were startled Saturday morning with the announcement that John T. McCarty, Esq., had been suddenly stricken down by epilepsy, and was lying at the point of death.  It appears that Mr. McCarty arose as usual in the morning and went to breakfast.  Whilst sitting at the breakfast table, he felt some peculiar sensations, but did not consider it as anything serious.  After breakfast he returned to his chamber, and whilst caressing his little daughter, was suddenly seized with epilepsy, and sank upon a sofa.  Physicians were immediately called in, and did everything in their power to relieve him, but without avail.  About 1 o'clock P.M. he was relieved from his sufferings by death.  Mr. McCarty was one of the oldest citizens of Marysville, and by his gentlemanly deportment and sterling traits of character, had won a host of warm and devoted friends.  In his death this community has sustained a great and irreparable loss, and a void is thereby created which will be long and painfully felt. - Mr. McCarty, in the practice of his profession, the law, was universally esteemed by the members of the Bar, and in social life was possessed of a kind and amiable address, and a warm and genial heart, which secured for him an enviable position.  He had twice served as City Recorder, and as such gave great satisfaction.  He leaves a wife and child who have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their bereavement. - His remains were followed to the grave yesterday afternoon by a large concourse of citizens, forming the largest procession ever witnessed in this city.  His Masonic brethren of this city and a large delegation of Knight Templars from Oroville accompanied his remains to their final resting place, and buried him with Masonic honors.

2/20/1932 - Fiji Founder, Old Timer Here, Moved By His Fraternity - Placed in a grave in the old Marysville cemetery at about the time the Civil War closed, the body of John Templeton McCarty, one of the five men who founded the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity in 1848, was removed Saturday to a new grave in Sierra View Memorial park, where it will be properly marked and given perpetual care. - The fraternity he helped found has been watching over his grave for years, and some time ago decided on the removal.  An appropriation was voted at its last international convention to proceed with it, and on Saturday R. C. Kennedy of Oakland, representing the Oakland Graduate chapter, which was delegated to the task, arrived in Marysville and executed the order. - Founded In 1848 - Arrangements had been made with Hugh Pryce Jones of the Jones funeral home in Yuba City to do the work, and a desirable spot had been selected in Sierra View. - In Washington-Jefferson university in Virginia back in 1848 five men formed the first chapter of Phi Gamma Delta.  John Templeton McCarty was one of the five.  When he had graduated he came west and settled in the pioneer gold city of Marysville, which had been founded only a short time before.  He became prominent in Masonic circles here an as a lawyer, and continued as a leading citizen until at the close of the Civil War he contracted pneumonia and died. - His fraternity had grown, but was not yet strong at that time.  Later, when it had spread through many universities and when it had accumulated traditions of its own, it sent representatives to Marysville and had a stone placed over the grave of McCarty.  Its newly recruited members were told of those five founders, and the California chapters are proud of the fact that one of the five honored men rests in California soil. - Daughter Gives Permit - Kennedy, who is a newspaper man in Oakland, connected with the Tribune, said Saturday that the Fijis, as members of the fraternity are known, had obtained deeds from a daughter of McCarty, Mrs. Tinker, of Los Angeles, giving permission to move the body.  A granddaughter of McCarty is Pearl Sindelar, actress, in Los Angeles. - Phi Gamma Delta became an international fraternity when it spread into Canada, where two chapters have been organized, making a total of 78 now existing, the others being in the United States.  It has thousands of members, graduates of the universities, scattered all over the world. - Henry Sackrider, Marysville photographer, was engaged to make photographs of the ceremony of moving the body.

McCULLOCH, TINY (Tina?)

Daily Appeal - 7/10/1891, p3 - A Sad Accident - A Little Child Crushed to Death Beneath a Wheel. - The news reached this city last evening of an usually sad accident which occurred at Wheatland yesterday, resulting in the almost instant death of a little six-year-old daughter of Jasper McCulloch. - The McCulloch's reside in Wheatland, but for several days past Mrs. McCulloch has been engaged at W. O. Armstead's orchard drying apricots.  The orchard lies just outside of town and yesterday Mrs. McCulloch rode home on one of the heavily loaded fruit wagons.  As they drew near home her four little children ran out to meet her.  Tiny was particularly glad to see her mother returning, and in her anxiety to be the first, she stumbled and fell directly in front of the wheels. Before the boy who was driving could stop the horses the weighty wagons had run on to the child crushing her head into an almost unrecognizable mass and killing her instantly.  The poor mother is crazed with grief and refuses to be comforted.  Jasper McCulloch, the father of the unfortunate child, is well-known in the county.  At present he is away from home working on a harvester.

McDANIEL, ANN

Daily Appeal - Wed. 12/27/1905, p1 - Death of Mrs. Ann M'Daniel:  Passing of a Pioneer Woman Recalls  Tragic Incident of Years Ago. - Mrs. Ann McDaniel, widow of the late John McDaniel, died Christmas morning at 1028 D street, which has been her home for many  years.. - The funeral will take place at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon from the late residence, with the interment in Yuba City cemetery. - Mrs. McDaniel was born in County Waterford, Ireland, sixty-six years ago, and for forty-seven years had lived in California, having been for nearly all of this time a resident of Marysville.  She leaves surviving her two sons and four daughters, J. H. McDaniel of this city, George McDaniel of Modesto, Mrs. Lizzie Day of Sacramento, Mrs. Mary Crossley of San Francisco, Mrs. Harry Day and Mrs. Henry Blue of Marysville. - The death of this old and highly respected resident of Marysville recalls a tragic occurrence of many years ago, in which she played a courageous part.  In the fall of 1878 she was living with her husband at the Marysville racetrack, of which he was the lessee.  About four o'clock on Saturday morning, November 30th, of that year, she was awakened by someone attempting to force an outer door, but was met on the way by a burglar, who proved to be a Chinese named Ah Ben.  They grappled and a desperate struggle ensued, in the course of which the Chinaman inflicted a fatal wound on Mr. McDaniel with a chisel.  Hearing her husband's death-cry, Mrs. McDaniel rushed to his assistance and pulled the Chinese away from her husband.  The murderer then turned upon her, but she broke away from him.  Her Chinese cook then appeared, gave chase to the murderer, caught him and tied his hands with his own queue. - Officers Colford and Hogan and Constable E. Brow, the latter of whom is still living here, arrested the Chinaman, who was taken to the county jail. - Great excitement was manifested in this city over the murder.  In the evening of the same day a mob of several hundred people gathered at D and Third streets, where it was harangued by persons advocating lynching.  Well-known citizens made counter-speeches, counselling an observance of the law; but the crowd proceeded to the court house.  Here N. D. Rideout, then mayor, addressed it from the court house steps, informing the hot-headed ones that the jail was strongly guarded and that an attempt to force an entrance might result in the loss of valuable lives.  The crowd then moved away and gradually dispersed. - On January 30, 1879, Ah Ben pleaded guilty in District Court before Judge Keyser, and at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon of March 14th of the same year was hanged in the court house yard in this city by Sheriff H. L. McCoy and Under Sheriff I. N. Aldrich.  A large number of citizens were present.  This was the last of the four judicial hangings which have taken place in Yuba county.

McGANNEY, DANIEL

Daily Appeal - May 12, 1895, page 1 - DEATH OF DAN M'GANNEY - The Passing of a Pioneer Smartsville Miner - County Clerk Gordon Bowman telephoned to the "Appeal" office from Smartsville about 8 o'clock last evening that Daniel McGanney had died about a half an hour previous from a stroke of apoplexy. -  The deceased was an old and respected citizen of Smartsville, where he has resided since 1856. - On his first arrival in Smartsville, he worked in some mining claims and was a partner of Tom Conlin for years.  He afterwards embarked in the Blue Point mine, and with his partner, J. P. Pierce, made considerable money which he invested in land. - When a few years ago bad investments made him seek the protection of the courts and go into insolvency it was a great surprise, as he was considered as safe in money matters in his section of the country as the bank. - The deceased was a native of Ireland and about 67 years of age.  He had a large circle of acquaintances in this city who will regret to hear of his death.  He was one of the old landmarks of Smartsville, and his death will also be regretted by his old friends and neighbors. - He leaves a wife, four sons, Edward, who is an attorney in New York, James, Frank and Dan, who reside in Smartsville, and two daughters, Annie and May, to mourn his loss. - Coroner Bevan left for Smartsville last night, but did not know if it would be necessary to hold an inquest as no particulars were received.

Daily Appeal - May 12, 1895, page 4 - DIED:  In Smartsville, May 11th, Daniel McGanney, a native of Ireland, aged 67 years.

Daily Appeal - May 16, 1895, page 1 - Last Saturday evening our little town was shocked to its very center at the news of the sudden death of our friend and neighbor, Daniel McGanney, Sr., who, up to the minute of his death, was in the enjoyment of his usual health.  He had just dined and was amusing his little grandchild, which he idolized, when he suddenly fell forward, and before any member of the family could reach him his spirit had fled and returned to God who gave it.  The deceased was born in Londonderry, Ireland, in July, 1827.  Apoplexy was the cause of death.  He was a man of a rather retiring disposition, yet always ready to render assistance when needed.  A good citizen, an accommodating neighbor, a kind, indulgent father and a most affectionate and devoted husband.  The deceased leaves a wife and six children - four sons and two daughters - to mourn his loss.  The many friends of the sorrow-stricken family extend their sincere sympathy, especially to the heartbroken widow, who will so greatly miss his dear companionship.  The interment took place in the Catholic cemetery Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock.  Rev. A. Twomey, assisted by Rev. M. Coleman, officiated in church and at the grave.  A long procession followed the remains to its last resting place.

Daily Appeal - May 22, 1895, page 1 - THE MCGANNEY INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS - In Favor of Contestants - In the matter of the estate of Daniel McGanney, an insolvent debtor, Judge E. A. Davis has made the following order:   Upon the petition of creditors of said insolvent, the assignee of his estate was ordered to render and present his account, after a long lapse of time from his appointment.  When the account was presented it appeared upon its face imperfect and objectionable, showing a balance of an insignificant sum for distribution to the creditors, out of an estate which when it went into the hands of the assignee was estimated could with proper management nearly or quite pay all claims against it.  The said creditors objected to said account and filed a contest against it.  From the history of the administration of the estate, as detailed in the report accompanying it, it appeared to the Court that an investigation of the administration was urgently demanded in the interests of all the creditors and in the interests of justice. - Had not said contest been initiated by said creditors the court would have instituted an investigation upon its own motion either by aid of a referee or otherwise and would have appointed counsel to assist.  The contest was tried, involving much time and labor, and the Court has filed its written opinion therein which verifies the judgment first entertained of the necessity for such investigation, even though it did not result in surcharging said account.  Costs were then allowed the contestants but counsel fees were not then demanded.  Such fees are now asked for.  Findings are signed but no decree is yet signed. - The fund out of which such fees will be paid if allowed is a trust fund in the hands of the court by its assignee.  The proceeding is in equity and the contest was for the benefit of all the creditors, and as before remarked, was prosecuted in the interests of plain justice. - Under the circumstances of the case I cannot but regard it as a proceeding in aid of the Court in the proper administration of said estate, and I cannot regard it as equitable that the nominal contestants should bear the whole expense of the fees of the industrious and able counsel who directed that contest.  I have but little doubt that a Court of Equity may, in its discretion, in such a case as this, not only allow costs to the contestants, but also a reasonable counsel fee. -  I therefore allow to the contestants here $500 counsel fee and direct said assignee to pay the same, and that such allowance be inserted in and as part of said final decree. -  Attorneys for the contestants, W. H. Carlin and M. E. Sanborn. - Attorneys for J. L. N. Shepard, assignee, Messrs. Page, Eels and Swezy
