Appling, Bob
June 18,1881 Mariposa Gazette ( submitted by W. Disbro)
Dead.- The Fresno Expositor of the 13th inst, contains the announcement of the
death of our old friend, and pioneer of this county, well known as Bob Appling,
oldest of the three brothers who resided here at a early period, viz., Peter,
and John Appling, who are still living and reside in Fresno county. Too see and
know the fact that the old pioneers of California are so rapidly passing away,
causes us to feel exceedingly sad, knowing full well that we are listed upon the
same roll with those early adventurers. Many of them had have passed away, and
the few remaining are simply battling against the current of time, which will
soon exhaust what little vitality they have left, and will soon cast off this
mortal coil, lost to memory dear. The expositor contains the following:" It is
with feelings of regret that we chronicle the death of the pioneer citizens of
this valley. The last one whose death death we are called upon to chronicle, is
that of Robert Alston Appling, who died at the residence of E.R. Appling, in
Merced county on the 5th inst. Mr. Appling was one of the pioneer settlers of
this valley, and has long been been identified with its interest. For the past
year he has been under medical treatment, but the disease was incurable, and it
gradually sapped away his life, and culminated as above stated. He was a native
of the State of Georgia, and at the time of his death was 62 years old.
