GUEST, Benjamin November 25, 1905 Mariposa Gazette:
Death of Benjamin GUEST.
Phillip Benjamin GUEST, a native of Ohio, aged 49 years, died at his home in Bear Valley Thursday of the present week.
Mr. GUEST came to California when a boy and has resided in Mariposa county almost continuously since that time. His chief occupation had been that of a miner and this employment is responsible for his early demise, as he contracted miner's consumption from the effects of which he died.
Deceased was married in 1902, and his wife besides Mrs. P. McELLIGOTT and Mrs. Frank ENGLISH, sisters, and John W. GUEST, a brother, are left to mourn a husband and brother's loss. Mr. GUEST was a man who was respected and his death will be generally regretted. The funeral will be held today at Bear Valley, and the body will be interred in the cemetery of that town.65
