Badella.--This is a tribute to mY great grandfather, Elias Newton Gann. I was only one year old when he died. My grandmother, his oldest daughter, used to talk about her family a lot. She always had happy memories of her life. Elias Gann could not read or write, but he was a success at what he chose to do with his life. He was 22 years old when he married my great grandmother, Altha Ann Brown. She was 16 years old. They had eight children, three boys, five girls. One of the little girls died on Christmas Day 1880. My great grandmother, Altha Ann Brown, was the daughter of Jeremiah Brown, originator of the "Wide Awake Place" near Highway 145 in east Madera County, California. He settled there in 1852. I have his obituary which is a true tribute to this man and it is written much better than anything I could write. E. N. Gann is called by Death. Elias Newton Gann, pioneer settler and one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of Mariposa County died at his home in Mariposa at 1:15 o'clock last Sunday morning, December 9th, from heart trouble. He was in poor health for several years but two weeks ago his condition became grave, and his death was not unexpected. Elias Newton Gann was born in Holt County, Missouri on the 2nd of April 1845 and was at the time of his death 78 years 8 months and 7 days old. In company with his parents and other members of the family, he crossed the plains by ox team in 1851. They settled first in Napa County later coming to Cathay Valley, Mariposa County and finally to White rock, which place has been the home of the deceased ever since. Excepting the brief periods spent at Mariposa Mr. Gann's entire time had been given to stock raising, and this business he followed with great success. During the past few years he had associated himself with his two sons, William and Elias J. in the cattle and farming industry. Mr. Gann was a good man and a man of great moral courage. He was honest, upright and just in all of his business and social dealings, and a true friend of all with whom he came in contact. We doubt if any man held ill will toward Elias Gann at the time of his death and after his many years of business dealing in the county. The deceased is survived by his widow, three sons, William of White Rock, Henry of Oakvale, Elias J. of Mariposa, three daughters, Mrs. Sadie Robinson of Madera, Mrs. E. Day of Merced, Mrs. Ida Turner of LeGrande, also three sisters, Mrs. Rachel Willis, Mrs. Nancy Lauder, Mrs. Sarah Mitchell, one brother J. W. Gann, several granchildren and great grandchildren survive. |
