Obituary published in the "Richmond Dispatch" in Richmond, Virginia on 2/7/1868 on page 1.
"Death of Mr. John M. Francisco - Mr. John M. Francisco died yesterday morning. Mr. F. was a native of Mississippi, but, with his mother and brother, removed to this State while very young, his father having previously died. He learned the printing business in the office of the Lynchburg Virginian. He came to this city while still a minor and spent here the remainder of his life. Some twelve years ago he was elected Commissioner of the Revenue for Jefferson Ward, and continued to hold the office until his death. He was a competent and faithful officer - none better. As a private citizen, too, he was highly respected, and in all the relations of life was a good man and true. He had suffered for years from heart disease, and latterly, for some months, from dropsy, but bore all his misfortunes with uncomplaining resignation. Indeed, it was difficult to realize how great his sufferings were when listening to his cheerful conversation in regard to them. He leaves a wife and two children.
Mr. Francisco was a grandson of Peter Francisco of revolutionary renown, and cherished his grandfather's memory with the most commendable devotion."
