The Frank Aaron Death Couch
The Frank Aaron Death Couch-
F. W. H. AARON DEAD.
The Deceased an Old and Respected Resident of This City.
Francis William Howard Aaron, an old and respected resident of this city, died suddenly about noon yesterday at his residence at the corner of D and Seventh street. Death resulted from epileptic convulsions.
The deceased, who was fond of bicycle riding arrived at the office in the Water Works building, occupied by himself and John O. Bradley, about 9 o’clock yesterday morning and inquired if any person had called to see him. Mr. Bradley who was surprised to see him at that early hour, informed him that no one had called. Half an hour later Dr. Powell, who has been his physician for the past fifteen years, met him at the postoffice and as he stated that he was not feeling extra well, the doctor advised him to go home and rest himself, promising to call later and prescribe for him. Mr. Aaron went home and laid down on the sofa, and later as he commenced to feel somewhat refreshed, read from a magazine. About 11:40 he was taken suddenly ill, and his wife at once saw that he had an epileptic fit. Dr. Powell arrived at the house a few minutes later, but the deceased never rallied and died at a few minutes before 12 o’clock. He had been subject to these attacks for years, more especially whenever he overexerted himself.
The deceased was born in England on June 5, 1829, his father being a surgeon in the English service. In his younger days he was a sailor and when he grew tired of that life he went to Australia. He came to California about the year 1860, and settled in Calaveras County, where he mined for a short time and then came to Marysville, where he has resided up to the time of his death.
In 1862 he was employed as assayer for Harris & Marchand, whose place of business was on E street.
He was one of the incorporators of the old Marysville Savings Bank in 1869, and was secretary of it up to the time it went into liquidation, and until its business was settled up.
Mr. Aaron was a member of the Marysville Benevolent Association for many years and was treasurer up to the time of his death. He was also one of the library trustees, being one of
those chosen to represent the donors. The deceased was in the insurance business for the past few years, being the local agent for the Lancashire Insurance Company, of Manchester, England.
