J.G. Bisbee Dies Here Sunday at the Age of 84
J.G. Bisbee, one of the few remaining pioneers of Placer county sank into enternal sleep as the last lingering rays of the setting sun--silent sentinels to salute the coming night--slowly faded into the vapory, filmy ether Sunday. As the sun's rays faded out and the darkness of night crept slowly upon us, so the sleep of that everlasting night slowly crept upon the one who was making his last fight, and he succumbed ere night fell.
Thus ended a life that was full of hardships, but hardships that were not without the pleasusres inter-mingled, which kept the days of the pioneer full to overflowing.
Mr. Bisbee came to Placer in the late fifies and lived continuously at Iowa Hill and Auburn since that time. He is perhaps one of the best known of the remaining pioneers, having been in public life during many years of his earlier life.
J.G. Bisbee was born March 31st 1827, at Lisbon, Maine, and on the 7th of November, 1858, was married at Leavenworth City, Kansas. The day after the marriage he left for California accompanied by his wife via New York city, and thence across the Isthmus of Panama on foot. From the Isthmus they came to San Francisco and after spending a few days there came to Iowa Hill on the 5th day of January, 1859. They resided at Iowa Hill for 21 years, where they reared their family of six children. In the fall of 1879, Mr. Bisbee was nominated as republican treasurer for the county, and the family moved to auburn. He was elected to the office later in the fall by a large majority on the republican ticket. Mr. Bisbee was a lifelong republican an later served two years as county coroner.
After retiring as treasurer of the county he went into the blacksmithing business in Auburn and in this vocation was burned out twice, the last time his business was destroyed by fire the city hall was also burned and many of the main business houses of Auburn destroyed.
Mr. Bisbee was a member of the Masonic orders of Auburn, Eastern Star, Odd Fellows and Rebeccas. Mr Bisbee was a past grand master of the Counsel of Juridiction of California. He was a past officer in all branches of the Masonic fraternity as high as the council. He was also a past patron of the Eastern Star, being a charter member of Crystal Chapter and the first Patron of the lodge. Mr. Bisbee was also a past Noble Grand in the Odd Fellows.
He is survived by his wife, Lete Bisbee, a sister, Mrs. Hattie Lidstrum; a son, Geo. W. Bisbee; three daughters, Mrs. Clara B. Johnson, Mrs. H.B. McCann, and Mrs. Minnie B. Clement, also ten granchildren and two great granddaughters.
The funeral services were conducted by the Blue Lodge from th Masonic temple Wednesday afternoon at 2 P.M. the usual impressive Masonic rites were held over the remains. Interment was made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. A profusion of flowers covered the remains which went to show the esteem in which Mr. Bisbee was held.

John Gould Bisbee, one of Auburn's old and highly respected citizens came to California in 1858, arriving in San Francisco December 28, the same year, and coming to Placer County January 6, 1859.
He was born in Lisbon, Maine, March 31, 1837, and is of old English ancestry who were early settlers in New England. His great-grandfather Bisbee was the progenitor of the family in America. He settled in North Adams, Massachusetts. The Bisbee's were active participants in the early history of the country and in the Revolution. Mr. Bisbee's father, Arza Bisbee, was born in the town in which his ancestors had first settled and where several generations of the family were born. For a number of years he was the foreman in the weaving department of a large woolen factory. In 1850 he came to California, having sailed from Boston around the Horn, the journey requiring six months' time. He was first employed in a sawmill in Napa, but soon went to the mines at "Hangtown," now Placerville, where he met with moderate success at mining and for a time was also engaged in mechanical work. He prospected and had various mining claims and made and sunk money in mining speculations like many of the pioneers of the state. He was three times married. By his first wife there were two children, and by his second wife, John Gould Bisbee's mother, there were four children, three of whom are now living. There were no children by the third marriage. In his death, which occurred in the seventy-sixth year of his age, California lost an honest, upright, industrious citizen.
The subject of our sketch was educated in the public schools of his native town and after his arrival in California was employed with his father at blacksmithing and wagon and carriage making. Later he operated the Morning Star mill and was for some time its superintendent. He established a sawmill for the Iowa Hill Canal Company and while at work there was elected treasurer of the county of Placer and came to Auburn to reside in 1880. As the first treasurer elected after the adoption of the new state constitution, he filled the office acceptably for two years and ten months, after which time he embarked in blacksmithing and wagon and carriage manufacturing in Auburn. He has since carried on the business successfully, giving the fullest satisfaction to his patrons, accumulating a competency and, what is better, retaining a good name as one of the worthy and reliable citizens of the town.
He was married November 17, 1858, to Miss Elizabeth Madden. Almost immediately after their marriage he came to California with his wife and during the pioneer days she was his faithful helpmate. There were born to them at Iowa Hill seven children, five of whom are living: Clarissa, the wife of Lewis Joninon; William, associated with his father in business; Hettie, the wife of Henry McCann; George W., prominently interested in fruit raising; and Minnie, wife of S. K. Clement. The faithful wife and kind and indulgent mother departed this life on April 21, 1878. She was very much beloved by all who knew her and her loss was seriously felt by her family. Mr. Bisbee married for his second wife Miss Morgan, who, unfortunately, was only spared to him two years. December 25, 1896, he married Mrs. Lola Van Auken, who is now the valued partner of his old age. They reside in a delightful home which he has built in Auburn.
Mr. Bisbee is a prominent and esteemed member of the I. O. O. F. and has passed the chairs in both branches of this order and was district deputy for many years. In the Masonic fraternity he also stands very high; past master of the blue lodge, past high priest of the chapter and past thrice illustrious master of the council and past patron of the Eastern Star. He is now (1900) principal conductor of the works of the Grand Council and an eminent brother in that branch of the order; for several years was district inspector of the blue lodges in his district, and at the present time is deputy grand lecturer of the chapter in his district. In politics Mr. Bisbee has been a life-long Republican. His record as a citizen of California is as bright as the sunlight of her skies.
