Mrs. B. F. Gwynn
After long and patient suffering, Mrs. B. F. Gwynn passed from earth last Thursday morning. The deceased had been hovering between life and death for some time past, and the end was not unexpected. Mrs. Martha Dickerson Gwynn was born in Placerville, November 1, 1852. She was united in marriage to B. F. Gwynn who with six children survive her, in October 1870. During her long illness, she was patient and enduring to the last. Surrounded by those nearer and dearer to her than life itself, she passed peacefully away to the perfected life beyond, the tomb. Mrs. Gwynn took an active part in religious affairs and was a devoted member of the Methodist Church. She was a woman of charitable impulses, kindly and genial in her nature, and unceasing in her efforts to make the home happy over which she presided with rare wisdom. Her life was one of busy cares, and the sympathies of the people go out to the bereaved ones who have stood around the open grave of the devoted and loving wife, daughter, mother, and sister. She leaves a mother, Mrs. M. S. Dickerson; a husband; a sister, Mrs. R. A. Davis; and brother, William H. Dickerson of Auburn; three daughters, Mrs. J. Munsil of San Francisco, Mrs. H. W. Livingston of Dutch Flat, and Mrs. H. F. Phillips of Iowa Hill; and three sons, Frank, Chester, and Lee. The funeral took place Friday afternoon from her late residence and was largely attended.
