OBITUARY
LATE PIONEER, CAME HERE IN EARLY FIFTIES
PETALUMA, June 28.--The funeral of the late Edmond Monroe Meador, who died Thursday following a stroke of paralysis, was held this afternoon, followed by interment in the Sebastopol cemetery. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends and many beautiful floral offerings covered the newly made grave.
Mr. Meador was born in Fayetteville, Tenn., November 24, 1839. He moved to Frankfort, Ky., with his parents at the age of three and at ten the family moved to Missouri, where he resided until May 11, 1857 when, with a cousin, Barry Meador, he left for California. He walked the entire distance driving an ox team, reaching California October 15 of that year.
The young pioneer first stopped in Santa Clara county for three months and then came to Sonoma county, settling on the Russian River at what is now Mirabel Park, where he remained two years before going to Windsor to reside. On March 8, 1865, he married Miss Isabel Domigan, the wedding taking place in the old Colgan hotel in Santa Rosa.
In 1872 Meador moved his family to Lake county, where he remained 32 years. In 1904 returned to Sonoma county, settling at Graton, where he lived for 14 years. The last five years he had spent with his daughter, Mrs. Roy McAninch in Petaluma, and at whose home he was stricken.
Mrs. Meador, who has been a helpless invalid for the last twenty years, survives her husband, and the following children: Mrs. Roy Aninch, Petaluma; Mrs. George Armstrong, Camp Meeker; George Meador, San Francisco; L. J. Meador, Santa Rosa; a granddaughter, Mrs. Will Schumacher, of Petaluma, also several other grandchildren, and his sweet little great-granddaughter, little Betty Elaine Schumacher, who was the first to discover the illness of Mr. Meador when she made her early morning call on him last Saturday morning shortly after Mrs. Mcninch had left for her place of business.
