SEWARD, JOHN

Marysville Daily Appeal - 11/16/1913, p1 - Oldest Justice in California Dead:  John Seward, Aged Pioneer, Dies After Life of Success and Reverse:  Anchored in Feather River Opposite Marysville Over Half Century Ago - John Seward, a resident of Yuba county since 1849, and justice of the peace of West Bear River township, died last evening at the age of ninety-one years.  His home was near Oswald, where he had resided since the early '70s.  During his residence in California as a forty-niner, packer, rancher, cattleman and county officer, John Seward knew success and reverse.  He had often been confronted with both and showed the courage of true manhood whenever the latter faced him.  In times of reverse he bore the brunt of loss and started to build again with the remaining tools left him. - He was born in Kennebac [sic] county, Maine, on May 22, 1822.  In 1849 he, in company with twenty-six adventurers, purchased an old whaler and after stocking it with three years' provisions they set sail for California.  On September 17, 1849, they anchored in the Golden Gate and after loading their provisions into six small boats they proceeded north. - When opposite about the present site of Marysville they anchored their crafts in the Feather River and started for the mines.  At a point along the Yuba river they built a sawmill and named the station Kennebec, in honor of the old New England county home.  Seward with another companion pushed forward into the wild recesses of the mountains, and at what is now Downieville they located a claim which yielded them $75 per day.  Numerous other claims were located and they extracted $80,000 from the river bottoms. - The deceased then forsook mining and operated a pack train into the mines, but later sold the animals and kept a grocery store at Parks Bar.  From there he went to a point on Bear river and started in the cattle business, but in 1862 his ranch was overflowed and his cattle and horses drowned.  Not discouraged he located near the present site of Oswald, which he made his permanent home.  He was the first man to bring the Percheron stallion to this part of California. - John Seward was the oldest justice of the peace in California.  He is survived by Mrs. Lawton of Wheatland, a sister of his wife, who died in 1901.  The funeral arrangements, which will be announced later, are under the direction of R. E. Bevan & Son.

Marysville Daily Appeal - 11/18/1913, p1 - Seward Funeral - The funeral of the late John Seward, Yuba county pioneer, will be conducted this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the Methodist church at Wheatland.  Interment will be made in the family plot at the Wheatland cemetery.

SHARP, JOHN

Sacramento Union - 5/4/1854, p2 - Another Murder - Marysville, May 3 - 9 p.m..  General John Sharp, of Sharp's Ranch, on the Sacramento road, was shot about three o'clock this afternoon.  A party of men were cutting timber on his land, and when ordered to discontinue, fired on him, killing him instantly.  He was alone at the time, and entirely unarmed.  No arrests have been made up to this time.

Sacramento Union - 5/6/1854, p2 - Surrendered Himself - It seems that Sullivan, who recently shot Mr. Sharp near Marysville, delivered himself up to the Sheriff.

Sacramento Union - 5/10/1854, p3 - Examination of Sullivan - The examination of Sullivan for the recent murder of Sharp, near Marysville, was commenced before Justice Singer in that city on Monday.  It seems, from the testimony of a partner of the deceased, that a portion of the ranch on which the deed was committed, is in dispute.  On the day previous to his death, Sharp crossed Bear River with a party of friends, to the disputed territory, where he found Sullivan and others cutting wood and making rails. - After some words, says the Express, the latter party abandoned the premises, and Mr. Sharp's party set fire to the rails, and they were consumed - Sullivan threatening when he left. - On the following day Sharp returned, with others, to the spot, armed, and after some search in the wood and underbushes, came across Sullivan and party, who had arrived before them.  When the two parties first saw each other they were 25 or 30 rods apart.  Sharp and his friends advanced eight or ten rods, when he remarked that he would go alone and have a talk with the other side, and requested his companions to stop.  Before starting he gave his pistol and belt to his son.  He then advanced some rods, though not far enough to be out of the hearing of his friends, to hold a parley with the enemy.  As he came up Sullivan said:  "Sharp, what did you come here for?  You have a pistol and have come to kill us, have you?"  Sharp replied, "No, I came to talk with you - have no arms."  Sullivan, or some one of the party, witness could not swear positively which, fired.  Mr. Sharp fell, and died in five minutes. - The examination was continued.

Sacramento Union - 5/13/1854, p3 - Concluded - The examination of witnesses in the case of Sullivan, at Marysville, has been concluded.  The argument of counsel was to have been heard yesterday.  Limmerman, who had been implicated as a particeps criminis, was discharged.

Sacramento Union - 5/15/1854, p3 - Sullivan - The examination of Sullivan, at Marysville, for the killing of Sharp, was concluded on Friday and resulted in his being held to bail in $8,000 to answer the charge of manslaughter.

[See Dec. 16 & 18, 1854 issues for acquittal of Sullivan.]

SHERMAN, WILLIAM & STEVEN 

Marysville Evening Democrat – 11/06/1913 – SHERMAN BROTHERS FOUND DEAD IN THEIR LONELY CABIN – With strong belief that they were murdered, word reached Marysville shortly before noon Thursday that the dead bodies of Will and Steven Sherman were found this morning by a friend named Travis in a lonely cabin occupied by the men at a point in the mountains a few miles northeast of Strawberry Valley. A long distance call to The Democrat from J. Bean, owner of the hotel at Strawberry Valley, this afternoon conveyed the information that every indication pointed to the fact that the two brothers had been brutally murdered and the assassin had had plenty of opportunity to escape. How long the men had been dead, Bean said, had not been determined definitely but indications are that the bodies had been laying in the cabin for two or three days. The first information of the finding of the bodies by Travis reached the coroner’s office in this city over the telephone about 11:30 and a similar message was received by the sheriff’s office about the same time, although the advice received lacked particulars and did not say how the men came to their death. Instructions to investigate the matter were immediately wired by the officials in this city to Deputy Sheriff A. Beaver and Justice of the Peace Henry Coupe at Challenge to investigate the matter, but up until late this afternoon no further particulars had been received. Additional advice is expected tonight, however, and if the circumstances are believed to warrant it, authorities in this city will go to the scene of the crime.- BROTHERS WELL KNOWN – The Sherman brothers were well known in the eastern section of the county. They were formerly engaged in mining, but for some time past have been engaged in making shingles and cutting wood for posts in a lonely part of the forest between Strawberry Valley and North Star. The isolated condition of the cabin is thought to be the reason why the bodies were not discovered until today. – MYSTERY SURROUNDS CRIME – As far as known the two men had no sworn enemies, yet it is hardly believed that robbery could have been the motive of the crime. The whole affair appears to be deeply shrouded in mystery that probably will never be cleared. If the men as believed from the information at hand, were taken unawares in their cabin and murdered, plenty of time has elapsed for the assassin to escape from the country and the authorities will be at a great disadvantage in solving the matter. From some untraceable source a report came this afternoon that the men had been drinking and probably quarreled with fatal results, but this theory, along with some belief that the victims might have entered into a suicide pact, is scouted (?). People in the mountains have accepted the murder theory as certain. (Note: Historic records show William Sherman and Freeman Sherman but no Steven residing in the area. Possibly Freeman was known as Steven. The marker (metal tag ) and the existing Strawberry Valley Cemetery records show Bill and Freeman Sherman in one grave.)  (Transcribed & submitted by Brad Sharpe.)

Daily Appeal – 11/081913 – DOUBLE FUNERAL FOR BROTHERS – Murder Theory Blew Up at Coroner’s Inquest Held Yesterday – As predicted in yesterday’s Appeal, the theory of murder regarding the death of Freeman and Bill Sherman at North Star was absolutely wrong, and the coroner’s jury returned a verdict yesterday to the effect that death resulted in both cases from exposure and alcoholism. The inquest was held by Acting Coroner Henry Coupe of Challenge, and an autopsy was performed by Dr. Clark of Challenge. The coroner’s jury made a thorough investigation and the verdict met the approval of all interested in the case. No marks on the bodies indicated that any violence had been exercised. The deceased brothers were strongly addicted to drink and had been on a long debauch just prior to their death. A double funeral will be held this morning at Strawberry Valley.  (Transcribed & submitted by Brad Sharpe.)
