OBITUARY ---------------

PHILIP KREISS

Redwood City Democrat

March 28, 1908

Philip Kreiss died suddenly Saturday at his home near Summit Springs. He had not been in very good health for some time, but it was not thought that he was in any way dangerously ill. Saturday, complaining of feeling badly, he went from the place where he was working to his home and shortly afterwards expired. Mr. Kreiss was born in Lyons, Wayne County, New York and was 68 years of age. He came to California in 1860 and seven years afterwards came to this county working for his brother, Jacob, on the mountain, a short distance from where he died. Ever since that time the deceased has been a resident of this county, having taken up 160 acres of government land which he cultivated. He left a wife but no children. The funeral took place Monday and was conducted by Redwood City Lodge No. 168 F and M of which he was a member. The interment was in Union Cemetery.
