| MARYsvILLE, Yuba Co., April 4. While
seated in chair on the portlco OF his sons
residence, Fifth and streets, yesterday af-
tel noon, taking his accustomed daily siesta,
Justus Greely. one of the best known and es-
tsemed of Marysvile's citizens, passed sudden
y away, at few minutes past = o'clock, the
result of an attack of cerebral epilepsy. He
was native of Palermo Center, Me-, and cele-
brated his S1st birthday anniversary on March
! 18th. During the forenoon of yesterday he
was unusually active, and for the exercise,
used the lawn mower on the grass plots about
the Greedy home and then in nelghbor's yard.
After luncheon he read awhile and dozed off.
On awakening he went to the front porch and
seated himself in rocker, where he soon fell
asleep again. About the hour above mentioned
neighbor was attracted. to him by a peculiar
cry but paid no attention at that time think
ing it the result of nightmare. Presently
boy delivering goods called at the house and
on noticing the pallor which had come over the
face of the occupant of the chair called the
attention of the neighbor to that fact. Inves-
tigation proved that death had come while he
slept. Justus Greedy came to California from
Maine in 1851, when q years of age He fol-
lowed mining in Yuba and Calaveras counties
until 1854, when he returned to his native State
and was married to Miss Margaret Rideout, who
died seven years ago. Returning to California
in 1855, he mined at Galena Hill, this county,
and conducted store business there until 1860
in partnership with the late N D. Rideout. In

and engaged in business in China and Portland
in that State until 1869, when he again sought
Marysvile. That year he bought third

Starr and John Bowman. At the incorporation
of the Buckeye Mills Company some years
later he was made president, which position he
held until the Sperry Flour Company pur-
chased the plant. He then became director

tion locally with the concern until four years

Missed day by day from its usual place
But saved, perfected, gloriied by grace
One more in Heaven.
