BOLING, John June 18, 1864 Mariposa Free Press
Capt. John Boling was a native of Tennessee, whence he emigrated in early life to the state of Mississippi, and came to California in '49 or '50. He was one of the pioneer settlers of Mariposa County, held the office of Sheriff for several years, and commanded a party of volunteers during the Indian difficulties which occurred in this neighborhood at an early day. In whatever position he occupied he showed himself an earnest and true man, always ready to lead where ever honor or duty demanded his presence. His character for integrity was never called into question, while a kinder hearted man never breathed. Many friends who know and appreciate his sterling worth as a friend and good citizen will sincerely deplore his death. {The funeral will take place at 3 o'clock P.M., (today), from the Methodist Church South.)
