PERCIVAL B. JAMIESON

Redwood City Democrat

June 25, 1908

Death of Esteemed Pioneer Resident

In the death of Percival B Jamieson which occurred Monday, another name is stricken from the ever lessening role of old settlers of this county, and another face has gone from the ranks of those with whom we have been acquainted, since boyhood. He was a man of pleasant disposition and met most of the conditions and situations of life with a jest or merry word. He was also a practical hard working man and continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits till past the age when men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers. This is practically accounted for by the peculiar talent which he had of extracting merriment and enjoyment from life as it went along and he was not disposed to worry about matters that could be bettered in other ways.

Mr. Jamieson was born in New Zealand and came in 1852 with his parents to this state, settling in Woodside where they remained for many years. In the sixties, the deceased entered into business in this city where he married Rose Thatcher who preceded him to the grave about two years ago. Their family consisting of Harry, Wm., and Mrs. B. Stafford grew up around here and survived them. Two brothers John and Ebenezer and a sister Mrs. A. McDonald also survive him living in different parts of the state. The funeral yesterday was under the auspices of the Metamora Tribe of Redmen of which the deceased was a charter member. A number of pioneers and friends accompanied the cortege to Union Cemetery where the interment took place.
