• Gorham Quits Federal Mint
Ill Health Causes Ex-Marysvillian To Resign
Marysville (Yuba Co.), July 22 — Charles M. Gorham, at one time a leading business man of this city, which he also served as Mayor, yesterday stepped down and out as smelter and refiner at the San Francisco Mint, having resigned because of ill health after two decades of splendid service. He will hold on until his successor, E. R. Leach, at present cashier of the Mint, can qualify.
Gorham has been wanting to quit for some time, but owing to an extra rush of work and his long experience, was urged to remain. His health has not been good, and a year ago he was injured in a street car accident, since which time he has been anxious to rest. His responsibility was very great and he desired to lay down the burden.
When he resided in this city, Gorham was one of the most prominent and popular residents. He still has many warm friends and numerous acquaintances here who will regret to hear of his resignation and ill health.
His brother, George Gorham, was the Republican candidate for Governor of California at one time.
