DIED: ALVARADO — In San Pablo, May 6th, Martina CASTRO de ALVARADO, wife of Ex-Governor Juan B. ALVARADO, aged 62 years.

DEATH of an ESTIMABLE LADY Mrs. Martina CASTRO de ALVARADO, wife of ex-Governor Juan B. ALVARADO, who died at San Pablo on the 6th instant, was a lady much beloved for many endearing graces of character, and her death is deeply mourned by those who had long loved and revered her. She belonged to one of the oldest and best families of the early California settlement, and if we are not misinformed, was born and had always lived in the old family mansion at San Pablo, where she died at the age of 63 years.
