BOGLILIO, Alexander June 15, 1907 Mariposa Gazette: In Memoriam.
In San Francisco, June 6th, a life of honor and usefulness was brought to a close when the dark shadows of death closed around and hid forever from mortal sight the earthly form of Alexander BOGLILIO, who for many years had been afflicted with miner’s consumption, and a loving and dutiful daughter is bereft of a father whose only joy in life she had been and the deepest sympathy is felt for her by the entire community in this dark hour of affliction and the earnest prayer is offered from all hearts that Time, whose healing touch can be her only comfort, will soon bring her solace.
Alexander BOGLILIO was born in Italy in 1844 and spent the greater part of his life in Coulterville where his nobility of character and natural kindness of heart caused all to love and respect him and genuine regret is felt for the loss of a worthy member of society.
He was married in 1870 to Miss Aurelia BRUSCHI who after a year of happy wedded life passed away to the great beyond leaving as an only comfort to the heartbroken young husband the little daughter, Aurelia, upon whom he lavished all the affection of the remaining years of his life and for that reason the ties between them seemed doubly hard to sever. Other relatives who survive him are a sister and two brothers.
About a month ago the deceased went to San Francisco to escape the summer heat here and it was in that city that he answered the Reaper’s call. His remains were brought to Coulterville and the funeral was held on Sunday from the Odd Fellows’ Hall, a large concourse of people following them to their last resting place. E. H. Coulterville, June 10, 1907.
