Mrs. Redgrave, the wife of Sheriff Redgrave died at their residence, Donald, on Tuesday, 3rd September, at half-past ten o'clock, a.m., aged 65. She has been a great sufferer from the beginning of February; treated by Dr. Herbert till end of April and was then removed to Victoria and treated by Dr. Hall for about a month, then left for San Francisco, where after arrival she was under treatment for about six weeks; regaining strength and seemingly on the way to recovery, she returned to Donald, and was improving in health and walking about a few hours before she was suddenly taken very ill, and so rapid was the fell decease that mortification set in at once, suffering intensely till about half an hour before death came to her relief.

Mrs. Redgrave was the eldest daughter of Benjamin Lincoln of Sackville St., London and Mill Hill, Hendon Middlesex, of the firm of Lincoln and Lincoln hatters, (afterwards Lincoln and Bennett,) and niece of the late Robert Cox, Burlington St., London, publisher to her Majesty, H.R.H., the Prince of Wales and the late Emperor.

Mr. Stephen Redgrave was married at Birmingham, England, to his now deceased wife. Martha Susan Lincoln, in the year 1849.

At that time he was studying law but in 1852 left England for Australia with his wife and family. After a sojourn of seven years, their travels took them to Africa, from there to England, and then to Toronto, Canada, where he held an appointment in the police as inspector, remaining there for three years.

In the beginning of 1862 he formed the first and only expedition overland route, from Toronto, Goodridge, Hamilton and other places the party rendezvous at Winnipeg, that called Fort Garry. A journey sometimes of pleasure and that of many difficulties and at the expiration of 6 months some of the party arrived in Cariboo going down the Fraser river and the others going by the way of the Thompson to Kamloops. Mr. J. S. Mara, Mr. Tunstall of Kamloops, Wm. Bowron and many others were of the party.

The same fall Mr. Redgrave was one of the officers of the old gaol Victoria. He then proceeded to Cariboo and had gold claims on Lightning creek and interested in Williams creek, and for a year was acting chief constable under Mr. O'Reilly and the late W. Cox, then gold commissioner. His salary being reduced from $215 to $125 per month he resigned and joined the overland Telegaph Co., hold different positions therein for two years, till work was abandoned. The late Deputy Provincial Secretary Toms Elwyn and the now Prof. Elliott of the Smithsonian Washington, who was then only a lad, forming daily companions in their travels and explorations. After leaving this Mr. Redgrave made his home with his family for some years, going extensively into farming and fruit raising near Norfolk, Va., afterwards near Alexandria, Ba., where he purchased what is known as Redgrave farm, after 8 years returning again with his family to British Columbia.

In May, 1876, he was appointed constable and recorder, etcs, for Cassiar. Was with Mr. Onderdonk at Yale on the beginning of construction of the C.P.R. and was his first commissariat and then in other capacities for 3 years. In April 1884 he was appointed to the many positions he now holds as senior officer, sheriff of Kootenay, mining recorder and registrar of the county court, collector of votes, assessor and collector, registrar of births, deaths and marriages, performing the duties as Stipendiary Magistrate under the bills of sale ordinance, and notary public for the province of B.C., and in every capacity performing his duties with integrity and prudence. His name is a household word, honored and respected through the whole of the province and known almost in every part of the globe. The government may well feel proud of such an officer. For the past en years, night and day and at all times he has been ready with his kindly advice. He has no enemies but all are friends. The vast experience he has had in different governments these thirty or more years, enables him to perform his duties with little trouble. His loss indeed would be greatly felt if e was removed from us. His wife was his companion in all parts of the globe, a woman of learning, having in her young days mixed in the highest society, imparted her knowledge to her husband and he has said that any good he has performed was though her kindly advice and knowledge. She has now passed the great divide and she has left many sorrowing friends and three sons and three daughter to mourn a good mother, the loss of whom cannot be replaced. From out knowledge of her she was prepared to go and her end was peace. May consolation which she sought be found by those she was left behind.
