Joseph Kinkade is Gathered to His Fathers.
His Death Occurred at His Old Home Thursday Evening, March 17th, About 8 O'clock.
Joseph Kinkade, Sr., died rather unexpectedly at his home near Willow slough Thursday evening about 8 o'clock. He had attained a ripe old age and for several years his health had been slowly failing. The sickness which was the immediate cause of his death was of brief duration, and until a short time previous to his death was not regarded as a very serious character.
His wife and granddaughter, Margaret Hyde, were at his bedside when he died. His illness was not being regarded as serious, other relatives had not been summoned. The dissolution was peaceful and painless.
The deceased was a native of Ireland, being born in county Tyronne, and was 78 years, 2 months and 20 days old. He had therefore long outlived the average span of life and the announcement that he has been gathered to his fathers ought not to create any surprise.
Joseph Kinkade emigrated from Ireland to the United States fifty-five years ago. He first settled in Massachusetts. In 1845 he was married to Miss Sarah Gourley, of that State.
The Kinkades continued to make their home in Massachusetts for eighteen years. In 1863 they crossed the plains and settled in California. Their first home in this State was near Willow slough, and there they have continued to live until separated by death.
To them have been born three children. The only daughter, Mrs. Margaret Hyde, resides in Amador county. The oldest son, Joseph, Jr., has long been a resident of Woodland. Thomas Kinkade is town marshal of Willows. All the children and some of the grandchildren are expected to arrive today.
The funeral cortege will leave the family residence at noon on Saturday. Funeral services will be held in the Catholic Church at 2 o'clock, and interment will follow in the Catholic cemetery.
The deceased has been a resident of Yolo county for thirty-five years. He has been an exemplary citizen, and by honorable dealing with his fellow men he earned and retained the respect of all who knew him.
His life has been one of frugality and industry, and by closely attending to his own business he has accumulated a comfortable competence, and for several years has been accounted as one of the well-to-do farmers of Yolo county.
He was an obliging neighbor, a good father and a devoted husband and the people of the entire community sympathize profoundly with his bereaved family.
