A few days ago while Z. D. Johns was in San Francisco he met S. L. Jackson, formerly of this place, and Jackson told him that Frank Tiffany, also formerly a resident of Hanford, had recently died, Frank Tiffany was a brother of Charles Tiffany of Hanford and was well known by many here. The story told by Mr. Jackson is that Frank Tiffany shipped from San Francisco as a cook on a steamer named J. Marohafer, which was owned by Olsen & Mahoney, and chartered by Bead Bros, of San Francisco. The steamer was burned about a month ago off the Oregon coast. The body of Tiffany which at the time was unidentified, was buried at Newport, 120 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia river on the Oregon coast. As Mr. Jackson was relating the story to Mr. Johns, the cook of the steamer whose place Tiffany took on the ill-fated trip, came in and confirmed what Jackson had stated, Mr. Tiffany was a widower, his wife having died some years ago, and he leaves two children who are now at Bakersfield.Hanford Sentinel, Number 22, 2 June 1910, page 1
===The only casualty was the cook Frank Tiffany, who, badly burned and tossed into the sea when the lifeboat he was on capsized, died of exposure or drowning (Morning Oregonian, 21-May-1910). page 6
