Chico Daily Record, Friday, September 27, 1901, page 1, column 3. Death's Summons Came Suddenly to Francis F. Brate. He Expired Early Yesterday Morning While Seated in a Chair in the Union Hotel Office. Was One of the Pioneer Settlers Who Crossed the Plains in the Early Fifties – Inquest Held.
Francis F. Brate, the old gentleman who had been a guest at the Union Hotel during several months past, expired yesterday morning shortly after 7 o'clock, while sitting in a chair in the office of the hotel. His death did not come as a great surprise, for he was 85 years of age, and had been suffering intensely for a long time.
During the past few weeks he was unable to get the sleep he required, owing to asthma, and, night after night, he would leave his room and go to the office where he would sit for hours in a chair. Lately his distress became more severe, and yesterday morning the climax came, his heart failing longer to perform its duty.
The old gentleman first notified Mr. Allen of the hotel that he was feeling more distressed than usual, and Dr. Jackson was summoned. The physician was engaged in listening to the beating of the patient's heart, when death overcame the old gentleman.
Deputy Coroner Collins was notified, and held an inquest, the verdict of the jury being in accordance with the facts state above.
Francis F. Brate was a native of New York. It was in 18563 that he came to California, and settled for a time at Thompson's flat in Butte County, where he engaged in mining.
When the Civil War broke out, he enlisted in a California regiment, and served during that conflict. He later resided in Oregon and Washington, and several years ago returned to Chico to make this his permanent home.
The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock next Saturday morning, under the auspices of Halleck Post, G.A.R.
