Notes for Victor (Spouse 1)
TISCORNIA, Victor October 5, 1912 Mariposa Gazette
“In the midst of life we are in death.” The truth of this solemn assertion was again exemplified when word reached Yosemite Sunday mourning of the death of genial, generous, true hearted, Victor TISCORNIA, who Saturday evening succombed to heart failure. Full details of the occurence have not been received here but it is known that for years Mr. TISCORNIA had a weaked heart though enjoying usually fair health. While employed at El Portal about five years ago he was taken severely ill and his life despaired of. Upon recovery he was told that he must abandon work of fatiquing nature and he returned to Coulterville where he accepted a possition at the Mary Harrison mine whereby he could obey that order. This place he was filling at the time of his death.
Victor TISCORNIA will be deeply mourned not alone by those united by nature’s ties but by every man, women and child who knew him. One would search perhaps in vain to find a kinder husband, a more devoted father or dutiful son; and a truer friend than the man for whom many eyes to-day are blind with tears.
He was a native of California, 48 years of age, and a son of Mrs. COMMISSSIANA of Coulterville and the late Antoine TISCORNIA. Except for a few years all his life was spent in Coulterville.
In 1889 he was married to Miss Margaret GREELEY. The union was blessed with five children, three of whom with their mother remain to mourn. These are George and Harold TISCORNIA of Coulterville and Mrs. F. J. GARBARINO of Madera. Besides these bereaved relatives Mr. TISCORNIA is survived by his aged mother, one brother, John TISCORNIA of Oakland, and six sisters. Among the latter are Mrs. L. PARKER and Mrs. G. W. HAMILL of Coulterville.
He was a member of Coulterville Lodge No. 104, I. O. O. F., and the funeral will be held under the direction of that order.
‘Tis hard indeed to spare him from his families midst, from his aged mother’s fond embrace and from the life the community in which he always took a active part. But how feeble were human arms to restrain his spirit when the beckoning hand of God called to the land of eternal light! Yet so deeply had he in life enshrined himself in every heart that though we shall meet him no more on earth his memory will be to each one of us an evergreen.
The sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of the comunity until time shall lighten their burden of grief.

TISCORNIA, Victor October 12, 1912 Mariposa Gazette:
Readers of this column residing away from Coulterville will no doubt be anxious for further details of the death of Victor TISCORNIA which we mentioned in last week's letter. For the benefit of these, we will state that Mr. TISCORNIA passed away Saturday night at his home near Coulterville. He had visited town and returned home about eight o'clock. He retired in his usual health in fact spoke to his family during the evening of his more than ordinarilly bright feeling. We who sympathize can only imagine the shock to his devoted wife when she was awakened a few hours later to find her husband strickened with the touch of death, with a last kind word and a parting smile to his faithful help-meet during twenty-three years of sorrow and joy, his spirit took flight- peacefully and painlessly over the great divide.
