Oroville Daily Register (Oroville, California) 04 Jan 1924, Friday, Page 4: Pioneer Is Found Dead in Hallam House. Chico, Jan. 2 – Austin L. Bouse, 77, for the past forty years a well-known resident of Chico, and a charter member of the Western Hose Company, of the old volunteer fire force, organized in Chico thirty-five years ago, was found dead in bed yesterday afternoon in his room at the Hallam House, by Mrs. Nora Daniels, owner, who was investigating the report that the aged man had not been seen for the past four days. According to Deputy Coroner Frank Nau, and Police Chief C.E. Tovee, Bouse had apparently been dead at least three days. The cause of death will be determined at an inquest to be conducted today.
The deceased had been active up until the day of his death and had in no way complained of any illness, it is said. Following the fire which destroyed the Hallam House some time ago, Bouse had resided in the small part of the edifice left standing, and had served as watchman for the new building which is being constructed on the site of the old hostelry. Previous to that, Bouse had been employed at the Diamond Match factory as watchman.
The deceased is survived by two brothers, W.W. Bouse of Seattle, who is a prominent newspaper man, and another brother, who resides in Vancouver, B.C., though it is thought that he might be stopping in San Francisco on business. Martha Jane Bouse, 86, his mother, passed away in 1915, and is interred in the local cemetery. She was a native of Virginia.
Bouse was born in 1847, but due to a crippled leg, did not see service in the Civil War. Investigation by the authorities showed that the deceased had an account in the Butte County Savings bank to the amount of $110. Fifteen dollars was found in his room at the Hallam House.
Interment will probably be made in the Veteran Fireman’s plot of the Chico cemetery.
