Samuel M. Read Passes Beyond
Samuel Martin Red, highly respected citizen of Cloverdale, passed away Monday afternoon in the Healdsburg hospital, where he had been taken early Sunday morning suffering from a heart attack.
Funeral services were held at 10 o'clock this morning at the Congregational church under the direction of the Edna F. Gorden Funeral Home. Burial was at Rockville, near Fairfield, with internment in the family plot.
Samuel Martin Read, a native of California, passed his 70th birthday last January. He was a son of early California pioneers who came from Missouri to California in 1849.
A resident of Cloverdale for 30 years, he was a man of fine principles, devoted to his family and his church -the Congregational- in which he was a deacon for many years.
Everyone who knew him had words of high praise for him.
Seldom ill, his death came as a great surprise to his many friends.
Last week he had enjoyed a fishing outing at Lakeport, where he and Mrs. Read were visiting friends.
A day at the Sonoma rodeo with members of his family was another trip enjoyed by him recently.
He engaged in farming the greater part of his life. During World War No. 1 he was a foreman in the Bethlehem shipbuilding yards at Alameda.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Read; four children, Mrs. Hazel Black of Sonoma, Marvin Read of Fairfield, Mrs. Myrtle Rawles of Ukiah, Gladys Williams of Fairfax, all of whom were at the funeral. Eight grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren also survive.
Married in September of 1894, he and Mrs. Read were to observe their Golden Anniversary this coming September.
