The Weekly Butte Record (Chico, Calif), Saturday, April 2, 1887, pg 3 col 6: Funeral of Mrs. E.J. Cartwright. Mrs. E.J. Cartwright, near Dayton, who died on Monday night, was buried yesterday from the church in Dayton, Rev. J.C. Simmons officiating. A large number of the friends and relatives assembled at the residence and accompanied the remains to the church, the altar of which was beautifully decorated with flowers, one piece being a large cross, some five feet in height, made of white flowers, which stood at the head of the casket. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity. Dr. Simmons delivered a feeling discourse from 2 Samuel, 14, 14, in conclusion referring to the life and character of the deceased. She was born in Ohio, November 6th, 1834, moved to Illinois in early life, where she was married to her surviving husband in 1854. She then came to California in 1864, and again crossed, each time crossing the plains in a wagon conveyance. She was greatly beloved by her family and friends. She leaves seven children, the youngest being about 14 years of age. One daughter is married and is living in the mountains. She and two of her sons were not present at the burial of their mother. The high esteem in which she was held in the community was evidenced by the long procession that followed the corpse to the grave. When the head of the procession reached the cemetery the last of the line of carriages were at the church. Mrs. Cartwright and family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
