Death of M. C. Israel

In the death of Martin Clay Israel, which occurred at his ranch in th upper end of the valley on Thursday of last week, July 25, Escondido has been called upon to mourn the loss of another esteemed fellow citizen.

Mr. Israel was born in Gurnsey county, Ohio, December 10th, 1831. He removed from there to Blackhawk county, Iowa, with his parents, where he spent his boyhood days. He was married to Mary A. Horner April 13, 1854, who with her two daughters, Mrs. W. L. Ramsey, of Escondido, and Mrs. L. W. Allum, of Riverside, California, still survive him.

Mr. Israel for a great many years was actively engaged in the mercantile business at Monroe, Iowa, coming from there to California in 1883.

His funeral, which was largely attended, took place from the family residence Friday afternoon, July 26, and was conducted by Rev. C. G. Cressy, of the Baptist church, and his remains were lovingly laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery.

He embraced the Christian religion early in life and remained steadfast to the end.

The Times extends its earnest sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends.
