JAMES P. M'CARTHY DIES
Pioneer Subdivider of City Succumbs to Stroke of Apoplexy; Private Funeral Tomorrow
James P. McCarthy, one of the best known of the pioneer Los Angeles subdividers, was called by death early yesterday forenoon. A week ago he and Mrs. McCarthy celebrated their fifty-sixth wedding anniversary, at the residence of their son, E. Avery McCarthy.
Saturday evening as he was dining in a hotel café in Ocean Park he was moved to poetic feeling by the beauty of the sunset and he quoted the lines of Joaquin Miller's "Sail On." As he finished the inspiring words he suddenly collapsed from a major apoplectic stroke which resulted in death yesterday. The end came quietly and peacefully at his Ocean Park cottage, 33 ½ Paloma avenue, with his wife and children at the bedside.
Funeral services will be private tomorrow at the family residence, 346 South Van Ness avenue, with interment in the McCarthy plot at Rosedale. Only members of the family and intimate friends will be present.
Mr. McCarthy was vice-president and treasurer of the McCarthy Company, one of the largest real estate concerns in California. He was 77 years of age, having been born April 13, 1847 in Schroepeltown, N. Y. He married in 1868 Myra Lucretia Chesebro, whose family was descended from Revolutionary stock.
He came to California forty years ago during the boom of the ‘80's, coming first to Los Angeles, then going to Oakland and San Francisco for a period, and spending the last twenty-five years in Los Angeles. He was enjoying a splendid, vigorous old age up to the time of the fatal stroke, carrying on important business for the company of which his son, E. Avery McCarthy, is president.
Besides his widow, two sons and a daughter, Mr. McCarthy leaves a brother and sister, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. The sons are E. Avery McCarthy and John D. McCarthy, and the daughter is Mrs. M. Ella Forrester of Los Angeles. Charles McCarthy, the brother, is 79 years of age. The sister, Mrs. John H. Hubbard, resides at Cambridge, Mass. The grandchildren are Mrs. Aileen McCarthy Adams, E. Avery McCarthy, Jr., James Howard McCarthy and Ella Josephine McCarthy. The great grandchildren are Morgan Adams, Jr., James H. Adams II, Nancy May Pelton and John Forrester Pelton.
