SOLOMON BATTERSON AGED 88 IS DEAD
--
"Grandpa" Batterson, as he was known to hundreds of people in this vicinity, is dead and in his demise there is removed from this city one of the oldest residents both in age and length of residence.
Solomon Batterson died early this morning from infirmities of age and from the inroads made by an ever-growing cancer.
He was born 88 years August 26 last in New York state. He moved to Iowa when a young man and in 1870 started for California. He stopped here and was so pleased with this country that he refused to continue but put his ox teams to work on a ranch 10 miles west of Livermore.
He acquired considerable property and resided there for 35 years. He came here 16 years ago and since that time has resided here. His wife died in 1910 and five years ago he married Mrs. Fanning, who with Mrs. Mina Tibbetts of Livermore survive him.
The funeral services will be held at Balmer's home mortuary at 1:30 Wednesday afternoon and burial will be made at Grandview.
