GEORGE L SAMPSON
Redwood City Democrat
October 24, 1901
George Lyman Sampson passed away at his home on Second Street Tuesday afternoon after a painful intestinal illness of two weeks. His death was a shock to the community as it was generally supposed that he would recover. Mr Sampson had been identified with San Mateo County ever since its organization. He was one of the pioneers, and while his life was uneventful, his personality was such that his absence from his accustomed walks of life will create a void, which will long be unfilled. Mr. Sampson was of genial disposition, kind hearted and popular, and his passing out of life has caused expressions of sorrow throughout the community. He came to this state in 1854 from his birth place in Maine and located at Woodside where he engaged in the lumber business, a calling of which he followed up to the present time, being associated with his brother David. In 1875, he married in San Francisco and has since resided in this city where he had established a comfortable home. He was aged 71 years, and leaves only his wife and brother David to mourn his loss. Mr. Sampson was an ardent Republican and an active worker in its ranks, tho he never sought or filled a political office. He belonged to the San Mateo County Pioneers in which he was much interested. The funeral will take place this afternoon from his home, where he will be laid to rest in Union Cemetery.
