Sudden Death
"It is in the appointed order of nature that the span of human existence upon earth shall be limited, and we know that nothing can avert the death that applies to us all. And yet the great change is seldom or never contemplated with calmness and entire resignation, for the ties of affection are too strong to be severed without pain, and when it comes suddenly and in an unexpected form, it is still more deplored. The subject of this notice, Mrs. Roxana Sherman, died suddenly at an early hour on Friday morning (8 May 1890). She had been in feeble health for many months, yet there was nothing in her apparent condition that indicated the near approach of death, but at a very early hour on Friday morn she peacefully passed away.
Mrs. Sherman, with her husband and family, came to this county about the year 1863, from Delaware County, Ohio, and then went to reside in the mountains near Placerville (El Dorado County), where they remained two years and then returned to this place. Mr. Sherman died six years ago. Mrs. Sherman leaves a number of children to mourn her loss. In Martinez are Mr. George A. Sherman and Mrs. E.M. Taylor, Mrs. A.R. Guppy, Mrs. George Stone and Mrs. William Girvan in Oakland and Miss Julia Sherman, now in New York. The funeral will take place on Sunday (tomorrow) from the late residence of the deceased."
