LONG SICKNESS PROVES FATAL TO GEORGE HEGARTY
George W. Hegarty native of the county, and during all of his lifetime a resident of the county, passed away at his home on Pine Stree during yesterday forenoon. Mr. Hegarty's death followed months of suffering from an ailment, for the relief of which he had every available medical assistance, but in vain.
During all the months of his illness, despite the pain that wracked him, he maintained that cheerful smile, that optimism, that was his chief characteristic through life. He never complained and when asked how he felt his reply was always, "Just fine, I'll soon be all right again."
George W. Hegarty was born in the little village of Mooore's Flat on the 25th day of August 1871, the son of pioneer parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hegarty. He lived and grew up in the little village, attended its public school and when he began to work his way through life he naturally took to mining, it being the principal practically the only means of livelhood in that section.
He became an expert miner, both in gravel and quartz. He assisted his father in his various mining enterprises and developed a keen knowledge of every branch of that work. He did considerable prospecting and located and owned several promising mining properties among them being the Twin Sisters, which is now being operated by Healdburgh people, and the Graystone and other properties which have prospective value.
Mr. Hegarty, in his work was both an employee and an employer. But in whatever capacity he found himself, he always held the highest esteem of those for whom, or with whom he worked. As has been stated his was a most optimistic disposition. Things never "broke" bad for him. It might appear that way, to others but not to him. There was always a silver lining in every cloud.
His fave ever wore a genial smile, there was always a lilt of laughter in his voice, and he was always the center of any jovial group that might be gathered. He was like by all who knew him and his friends were as numerous as his acquaintainces. In fact, an acquaintance soon became a friend.
Mr. Hegarty married Miss Rose Waldron of Lake City and to this union were born five children, four of whom now survive, namely, Cecil, Leslie, Walter and George. William Hegarty a son died fighting for his country in France.
There also survives beside his wife and sons, three brothers, Eugene and Jay of San Francisco, and Charles of Snow Point and the following sisters. Mrs. Herman Brunn, and Miss Annie Hegarty of Oakland, Mrs. Grace Davis and Mrs. Margaret Shepard of San Francisco. Mr. Hegarty was a member of Mevada City Lodge No. 518 B.P.O.E. Elks. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at ten o'clock from St. Canice Catholic Church.
