SEPULVEDA RITE ARRANGED
Descendant of One of State's Oldest Families Will Be Buried in Inglewood Cemetery Tomorrow
Funeral services for Carolina Oden Sepulveda, whose death Wednesday night severed another link with the State's historic past, will be conducted tomorrow morning from the Catholic church at Wilmington, where solemn high mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Interment will be in Inglewood Cemetery.
It was more than forty-eight years ago when Carolina Oden, belle of Southern California, and Roman D. Sepulveda, descendant of one of the State's oldest Spanish families, braved parental displeasure over their extreme youth and drove to Los Angeles to be married. The ceremony was performed at the Old Plaza Church on February 10, 1879.
Carolina Oden Sepulveda was born in Los Angeles on February 3, 1861. Her father was George W. Oden, who came to California from Virginia. Her mother came of the Spanish family of Machado, which had its casa grande at Viona (sic) Rancho, now The Palms, near Culver City.
Roman D. Sepulveda, at the time of the romance, lived at the home of his father, Diego Sepulveda, near the old German settlement at Wilmington. The picturesque adobe mansion, which stood until a few years ago, had been built by Ignacio Sepulveda.
For a time the couple lived at the Sepulveda homestead, removing to San Pedro forty years ago. The Sepulveda home is at 438 West Fifth street, San Pedro.
Mrs. Sepulveda died Wednesday night from a cerebral hemorrhage. At her bedside were her eight children and their families: Albert, William, Louis, Benjamin and Philip Sepulveda, all of San Pedro, and Mrs. Nicholas Kokkopolis [aka Kokkinopolos] and Mrs. George Contos of San Pedro, and Mrs. Silas E. Snyder of Los Angeles. Also present were her sisters, Mrs. E. F. Harriman of San Pedro and Mrs. Bert Ihrig of Glendale, and her brothers, J. M. Rocha and James, George and Mason Oden.
She also leaves her husband, San Pedro capitalist and authority on the early Spanish history of California, and his sister, Senora Rudicinda de Sepulveda de Dodson of San Pedro. Among the sorrowing friends were representatives of almost all the old Spanish families, including the Avilas, Machados, Estudillos, Dominguez, Verdugos, Yorbas and de la Guerras.
Mrs. Sepulveda was a member of the Native Daughters of the Golden West.
