HALSTEAD, Mrs. Amanda November 11, 1905 Mariposa Gazette: Death of Mrs. HALSTEAD.
Mrs. Amanda HALSTEAD died at Oakland on Tuesday, her death following an illness of several weeks. Mrs. HALSTEAD was born in Coulterville fifty years ago, being one of the first white children born there. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. SHIMER. In 1874 she was married to James HALSTEAD, and from that years until 1901, she and her husband conducted the Hazel Green summer resort and stage station on the Coulterville-Yosemite road every summer. Mr. HALSTEAD died in the 1901; and Mrs. Halstead took charge of and conducted the place until 1903. In 1904 she moved to Oakland where she conducted a lodging house until her death. Mrs. HALSTEAD is kindly remembered by all who knew her. Of a kind and generous nature, she had the love and esteem of a very large number of friends, and her passing away causes keen and sincere regret. To mourn her death she leaves a mother, Mrs. James SHIMER, five daughters and two sons: Mrs. F. A. BONDSHU of Mariposa, Mrs. U. S. SHAVER of Coulterville, Mrs. J. E. TRAXLER, Miss Gertrude HALSTEAD and Miss Augusta HALSTEAD of Oakland, and Robert and James HALSTEAD of Coulterville. The funeral was held at Coulterville on Thursday, where she was laid to rest by the side of her husband on Odd Fellows’ cemetery. The funeral was very largely attended.
