Oakland Tribune, 8 October 1908:
Oct. 7- Edward Frisbie, president of the Bank of Northern California and one of the most widely known and prominent pioneers of the state, died this morning at his home, 1603 Nineteenth avenue, after an invalidism extending over several years. Death was due to heart trouble.
He was associated with Fred Dakin of Berkeley and the late James McCormick in founding the Bank of Northern California and was identified with that institution until the time of his death.
Frisbie was married twice. His first wife was Miss Phebe Anna Klink, a sister of Rev. N. B. Klink. After her death he married Miss Laura A. Walden, daughter of Gerome B. Walden of Napa.
There were 13 children, 11 of whom survive him. They were: Mrs. Julia King, Dr. Edward G. Frisbie of San Francisco, the late Mrs. Anna Bailey, the late Levi C. Frisbie, Mrs. Carrie Bornecke, Mrs. Alvin Dozier of Anderson, Mrs. Louise Walden, MRs. Arthur Barnes, Henry B. Frisbie of Rialto, Nathan B. Frisbie of San Francisco, Miss Fay Frisbie and J. Bernard Frisbie.
In addition to his widow and 11 children Frisbie is survived by 30 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. He was a brother of the late General Frisbie of Mexican war renown.
Born in Albany, N. Y., in 1826, Frisbie came to California by way of the isthmus in 1855. He was the owner of the Bella Vista ranch, near Napa, and was the first large breeder of cattle in that district. He was a pioneer in the domestic animal shipping industry around San Francisco bay. Soon after he entered the cattle business he chartered a ship coming around the Horn, which brought a load of blooded stock to the coast.
Twenty years after he located in Napa he moved to Shasta county, where he purchased 26,000 acres of land, the property of J. B. Haggin, which included the present sites of the towns of Redding and Anderson. He was a brother of General John B. Frisbie, who laid out the city of Vallejo. General Frisbie is now a multimillionaire in the city of Mexico.
The interment will be held in the family plot in Vallejo. The funeral services will be private.
