Another One Gone---Again are we called upon to chronicle the death of an esteemed member of the society of our county. Mrs. Rachael Brewer, widow of Stephen Brewer, came with her husband to Mariposa upward of twenty years ago. Uncle Brewer, as he was familiarly called, died several years since, and was buried near Bridgeport, where now lies his bosom companion beside him. The only relative left to mourn the loss of the good old couple is their grandson, Willis, better known as Budd Brewer. They were all formerly from the State of Arkansas. [page 3]
