"July 25, 1916
Pioneer of Valley Dies in Los Angeles
James A. Kincaid, Who Came to California in 1869, Succombs to Old Age
James A. Kincaid, one of the first settlers of the Frazier Valley district died in Long Beach yesterday afternoon of ailments incident to his advanced age, according to messages which were received here last evening. He was 80 years of age.
He was born in Jay, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, in 1836. His father was one of the wealthy lumbermen of the Susquehanna Valley and until he attained his majority, after finishing his school work, he engaged with his father in the milling business. He moved to Portage, Wisconsin, in 1850, continuing in the milling business there until 1857, when he emigrated to Chatfield, Minnesota. He remained in Minnesota until 1860 when he came to California.
He took up his residence on what is now the townsite of Tulare and which at that time, to use his own language, was "populated by wild animals and two old bachelors." Two years later he moved to Upper Tule and was one of the first settlers in that district. In 1872 he was appointed deputy assessor of this county and served during a term of four years. During this period he was engaged in the sawmill business, having established a plant on the riverbank.
In 1878 he moved to Frazier Valley and adding from time to time to his holding of land there eventually acquired over 1000 acres of range, devoted almost wholly to cattle raising.
Funeral services are to be held Friday from the McCabe Chapel on Main Street. All of the arrangements for the service had not been completed last evening. Interment will be made Saturday and will be in the Frazier Valley cemetery."
