Mariposa Gazette Aug 1923 - OBITUARY: Mrs. Eleanore Trabucco, Lady of Bear Valley is Summoned age 82 a native of Sestri, Italy, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dilida Bertken, of Mariposa on Tuesday, August 7, 1923 at one o'clock p.m. Mrs. Trabucco's health had been failing for a number of years but recently her condition grew critical and her passing which was quiet and peaceful, was not unexpected by her many relatives. This closes the life of a member of one of Mariposa county's most prominent and highly respected families.
Born at Sestri in sunny Italy, Aug. 15, 1841 and married to Louis Trabucco, October 23, 1860. Following the marriage the couple came directly to Bear Valley where they conducted a general merchandise store for more than 50 years. Mrs. Trabucco managing the business after the death of her husband on August 6, 1883. His death occuring just 40 years and 1 day previous to his widow. Mrs. Trabucco was known throughout the county for the many deeds of kindness and charity to those in need and distress. When Bear Valley was a thriving city and the hardships of the early pioneers were many, her charity and sympathy was always first to be extended. Today only a few of those pioneers with whom her early life was closely associated, remain to pay a last solemn tribute at the bier of a "true and loyal friend." Her life was greatly devoted to her children, and to them was accorded the deepest tenderness, love and care as well as the best advantages and opportunities for education and advancement. Mrs. Trabucco is survived by the following children:
Judge John J Trabucco and Mrs Delida Bertken of Mariposa; Frank T. Trabucco of Mt. Bullion; John B. and Louis Trabucco of Bear Valley; also the following named grandchildren; Eugene Trabucco, Louis Trabucco, Louis Milburn, Agnes Trabucco, Mrs. Eleanore Westfall, Julia Trabucco , Mrs. May Ham, Frank Trabucco, Joseph Trabucco, Ralph Trabucco, Mrs. Ellen Simpson, Mrs. Adeline Udell, Mrs. Minnie Vashe and Mrs. Mildred Williams. Also many other relative in this county and throughout the state.
The funeral was held at Bear Valley at 2:30 o'clock p.m. Thursday, Reverend George Doyle of Merced officiating, internment being in the family plot, besides her husband and two daughters, the latter children having died in their infancy. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends followed the body to its last resting place.

Mariposa Gazette 19 Jan 1878
A Crazy Murderer - At Bear Valley last Wednesday night, there occurred another tragical scene in which a man—an Italian—named Andrew Rocco was the principal actor. His mind may have been frenzied from the influence of liquor, but his acts showed a premeditation of what he afterwards attempted to do. He first went to the store of Mrs. Trabucco and stated to her he was hungry—had nothing to eat for three days. She gave him supper. After eating he arose and approached Mrs. Trabucco, and snatched her infant babe from her lap, and at the same moment struck her on the head with a pick which he had in his hand, saying at the same time he intended to kill her. Just at this time John Baptiste, Mrs. Trabucco's son, a lad of 13 years, happened to be in the kitchen nearby, and hearing the screams of his mother ran immediately to her relief and with remarkable forethought and presence of mind for so young a lad, he grabbed a pick and dealt such a forcible blow upon the Head of Rocco that it knocked him down, thereby enabling his mother to escape out of the front door into the street, and the babe which he had gathered up, and himself out of the back door of the store. Rocco pursued, but the screams of Mrs. Trabucco had given the alarm, which brought together some of the next door ladies, who were discovered by Rocco, which changed his course of pursuit from Mrs. Trabucco to them. They fled to a house and locked the door behind them, which Rocco forced open, at the same time he encountered an old man, whose name we did not learn, and assaulted him by biting a piece out of his lip and biting his lingers. About this time he was captured and taken before Justice Quierolo, and after examination was held to $2,000 bail under two . distinct charges - that of mayhem, and that of an assault with intent to commit murder, in default of which he was lodged in the jail at Mariposa.
