J.S.Colby, a well-known resident of Yolo County, died yesterday at his home near Clarksburg. He was well known in this county, and had many friends here. He was 84 years of age and a native of New Hampshire. He is survived by his wife, two sons - George H. and Walter B., of Clarksburg - and a daughter, Miss Julia E. Colby, of Oakland.

Jeremiah was involved in building stone bridges as they went. According to our family information, they got to CA in 1859, via the Isthmus of Panama. They then sailed to San Francisco, boarded a river boat, and disembarked at Marysville. Jeremiah was hired as a contractor for stone mason work on the foundation of the CA state capitol, but the stone masons went out on strike before the job was finished. Thus, we have a brick foundation.

He was buried in the Old City Cemetery at Sacramento, Sacramento County, California
