Mariposa Gazette, October 28, 1905: Death of Isaac Branson

Isaac Branson, an aged pioneer of this county, died of cancer at his home at Mt. Gaines Saturday, October 21st, 1905, age seventy-four years.
Mr. Branson was born in Missouri, where he married when quite young and came to California with his bride soon afterwards. He located near Quartzburg and engaged in goat raising. Some of the
old residents still remember his large band of Angora goats, which were admired by all who saw them. He subsequently moved to Darrah where he lived until a year ago, when, his health failing, he moved to Mrs. PEARD'S ranch at Mt. Gaines to be in a warmer climate. All of his children were born and always lived in Mariposa county. He is survived by an aged widow, four sons, Joe, Hiram, Wiley and Will, and two daughters, Mrs Phoebe HURD of Darrah and Mrs. Martha PEARD of Mt. Bullion. He also leaves an aged sister, Mrs SCOTT, of Quartzburg. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father, a faithful friend and a good neighbor. Notwithstanding his great sufferings, he never murmured, but always gave a cheery greeting to all who called during his long sickness and appeared delighted with the prattle of his grandchildren. The funeral took place from his late residence Monday afternoon and was largely attended. Interment in Quartzburg cemetery.
