Feb. 21, 1880 Mariposa Gazette:
CONDRY, Benj. On Sunday last we attended the funeral ceremonies had of Benj. CONDRY at Bear Valley. It was perhaps like thousands of others, a sorrowful spectacle to behold. The CONDRY family have been long and favorably known in that locality. During his protracted illness of about three years, Mr. CONDRY had become fully conscious that his lease on life on this earth was rapidly drawing to a close. His fear of death was but little compared with the thought of leaving his wife and little ones dependent upon cold charity, such as perchance the people might possibly bestow. He found comfort in the thought of his oldest boy of fourteen years who would measurably fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of a father. But alas! this last fervent hope was blasted- when death came stealthily into the once happy home-circle, and while the father was battling off the last throes of the invading monster, it clutched from their grasp this hopeful son who was expected for a time to be the guardian and chief support of the unfortunate family. Within a week death has found two victims in this family. The son was buried on Tuesday and the father on the Sunday following. "How mournful the spectacle." There in the quiet cemetery is to-day to bbe seen side by side, six mounds of earth, where the slumbering in death the father and five children of the CONDRY family. There yet remains as living monuments the loving wife, the mother of four more hopefuls of the same flesh and blood, who are left behind to do battle against the ills of life. Rev. Sawrie of Mariposa assisted in the ceremonies, which took place at the Odd Fellows' Hall, wherein was discoursed a very feeling sermon. At the conclusion a proocession was formed under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, which followed the remains to their last resting place. The deep interest taken in the unfortunate family occasioned a large attendance to the funeral. The bereaved widow and her remaining children have the deepest sympathy of the community in their lamentable affliction.
