any kind prevalent In San Diego. The
public health was never more perfect
than now.

John Farrish's New Home.

The residence now in course oi
erection for Mr.. John Parrish, will be,
when completed, the largest resident
building in this city. Itis located on
the center of six lots of ground on
High street facing the west and setts
back about five rods from the street on
high elevation. It rests on stone
wall two feet thick and eleven feet
high laid in cement. The basement
has all the paraphernalia necessary for
furnices, pipes, cellar drain, ash
basin, &c. Each partition in the
house has a heavy basement wall for
support.
The house is planned after the

G.. II. Herschleb Passes Away.
Again death has spread its

Again death has spread its sad
gloom over this community and taken
away one of its most faithful and in
dustrious citizens. Time brings about
many changes and reminds US each
week of the certainty of death. It is
condition we must all meet, sooner or
later.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Herschleb
was taken sick and continued to decline
until Friday morning last at 9:15
O. clock he passed away surrounded by
his wife and children, and a few
friends. He was hopeful unto the
last minute grasping at the least indi-
cation of more favorable condition.
Mr.. Herschleb was born in Germany
the Goth of August 1845, and moved
to Canada when eight years old with
his parents. He left his home in
Canada for Grand Rapids in 1866
where heehas made it his home ever
since. In 1871 he was united in
marriage with Miss Sophie Whitrock,
who bore him daughter and two sons,
who survive their father. His father
and mother are both living and have
reached the ripe age of seventy years.
The deceased also leaves two brothers,
August and Fred Herschleb, who
were greatly attached to him.
Mr.. Herschleb had the reputation
of being the best skilled workman in
his line in this county and had built
up large trade. He was known as a
man Of the strictest integrity in busi-
ness matters and could always be
relied upon. He was an exemplary
member of the Masonic order where
he will be greatly missed. We under
stand that he carried an insurance
policy Of $1,000 in the order.
The funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon July 18th at the Opera
hall under the auspices of Grand
Rapids Lodge No, 128 E. & A. M. in
which deceased held the Office of
Worshipful Master at the time of his
death. r. G. Worthington was chosen
Master of ceremonies and G.. j. Jack
son, w. M. and with their assistants
the Masonic funeral services were
carried out.
A special train from Stevens Point,
bearing forty brother master masons
and some of their wives arrived at one
O'Clock and marched to the Opera hall
where the order of march was formed
and proceeded to the residence of the
deceased. The procession returned to
the Opera hall with the remains when
Rev. Rowland delivered most sym
pathetic and afectionate sermon.
Rev. Loomis delivered an earnest
prayer and the choir rendered several
appropriate hymns under the leader
ship of brother @. Ell. Slocum.
At the close of ceremonies at the
hall the procession reformed and
marched to the cemetery followed by
sixty carriages, where the Masonic
ritual service was read by w. NJ, G.
j. Jackson. The sprig Of evergreen
which every mason in the line carried,
was then deposited in the grave with
the deceased brothers white apron.
The choir rendered Pleyels hymn,
after which Rev. Rowland delivered
another short prayer.
