PASSED FROM SLEEP INTO ETERNITY
--
Charles Wonacott, pioneer resident of Bishop, passed into rest Sunday night at the home of his daughter Mrs. Vangie Robinson, in San Luis Obispo, where he had been most of the time during the last two years. He had been visiting
his relatives there, and left Sunday morning in company with Chase Bell for the coast city. They reached San Luis about 5 o'clock. Mr. Wonacott was in good spirits and apparent good health, and stayed up until about 10 o'clock talking to the family. A
small grandson (Forrest) who slept with him was undisturbed during the night. When Mrs. Robinson went to call the boy to get ready for school she found that her father had passed from sleep into death, without a sign of struggle or suffering. The
corners decision was that old age was the cause of death.
Charles William Wonacott was born in Virginia Nov. 8, 1849. And was, therefore, aged 80 years and 9 days at the time of his death. Few would have thought him so far advanced in years, for he retained an unusual appearance of
body vigor and health.
He was married to Miss Rachel Huckaby June 16, 1872, in St. Clair County, Missouri. They traveled to Wyoming with relatives, leaving Ft. Scott, Kansas May 2, 1874. After a years stay in that territory they came to Bishop,
reaching here in November.
Mr. Wonacott was a carpenter by trade. His first work was in building the one time well known Spencer Store in West Bishop. He built the West Bishop schoolhouse, burned some years ago, and also the one now standing. He also
built the town frame schoolhouse now used for city and library purposes, the second schoolhouse at Big Pine, and a number of other structures in the valley. One of his enterprises was a sawmill on the Owens River, and he experimented with the plan of
rafting material down the river but with unsatisfactory results.
With the growth of Tonopah he went to that camp, and after carrying on his trade for a short time, he went into the undertaking business with Frank J. Cavanaugh, to whom he sold out to a few years since. (Note, he opened the
undertaking business with George Hall. He became a partner with Frank Cavanaugh after 1912. He sold his interest in the business to Mary Cavanaugh in 1920).
With the sale of his farm property here he retired from active work. Mrs. Wonacott passed on Feb. 1, 1922, when her golden wedding was but a few months away.
Nine children were born to them, two of whom, Frankie E. and Forrest C., died. Those surviving are three daughters and four sons: Mrs. L.J. De Luchi, of Oakland, Mrs. T.R. Robinson, of San Luis Obispo, Mrs. A.O. Adams of Bishop,
Don L. Wonacott and Albert W. Wonacott, of Bishop, Harold Wonacott of Vallejo, and Dwight Wonacott[; he was also survived by a number] of grand children and two great grandchildren. Mrs. Emily Huckaby, a sister-in-law resides at Laws.
All of his returns from sales of property in Bishop and in Tonopah was deposited in the Inyo County Bank or invested in the Wattersons corporations, and all was swept away in the bank crash.
During his average lifetime of residence among us, Charles Wonacott's reputation was unstained, and his uprightness was unquestioned. Those that knew him feel that while he lived beyond man's allotted time, a fine citizen has
been taken away.
His former business associate, Frank J. Cavanaugh, came from Tonopah to conduct his funeral this afternoon. The Elks had charge of the service.
