PIONEER OF STATE DIES

Mrs. Francisca Tercis, one of the first American children to be born in Santa Barbara, died Tuesday morning at her home, 760 Mill st., after having been in failing health for several years.

Mrs. Tercis had been a resident of this county for the past 40 years and was 84 at the time of her death. Her father, John Smith, a sea captain, took by boat to Santa Barbara the lumber with which the first frame building in the Channel City was constructed.

During her long residence here, Mrs. Tercis, by her kindly disposition, had made a very wide circle of friends, who join with the sorrowing family in mourning her loss.

She is survived by one son, Frank Tercis, of San Luis Obispo, and one daughter, Mrs. J. M. Ruiz, of Santa Barbara. Her husband, the late Frank Tercis, died five years ago.

Funeral services will be announced later. The body is at the Richardson funeral parlors.
