Death of Josiah Gundry.
-----
Josiah Gundry, of Amador City, a man well and favorably known throughout Amador county, passed away at his home Monday morning, at the advanced age of 79 years. Mr. Gundry was a native of England, but came to this country when quite a young man, and succeeded in amassing a comfortable fortune. He was a man of liberal education, and a great lover of poetry and song. His memory was most remarkable. It was his delight to entertain friends by reciting favored selections from all the famous poets. At different times he sought political favors with varied success. For many years he held the position of justice of the peace in Amador City, and his decisions were always the best judgment of an honest man.
His wife preceded him by many years, and his only daughter died less than a year ago.
He leaves to mourn his death a number of grandchildren, who have made their home with him for several years. His interment took place Wednesday, at 2 o'clock p.m., in the Amador cemetery.
In the death of Judge Gundry the county loses another one of its pioneer citizens. One by one these venerable men are passing away. Their active lives are being brought to an honorable close. The great majority of them were, and are, men of superior intellectual attainments, and their influences will be felt for generations to come. They assisted in laying the foundation of our county and state; they builded upon a solid foundation. The fruits of their labor are now being garnered by a younger generation. May they reap a just reward in the great beyond.
Son of Christopher Gundry and Ann Beaglehole of Cornwall, England.
