HENRY STEINBERG

Redwood City Democrat

October 20, 1904

Henry Steinberg of La Honda answers death’s dread sumnions

Henry Steinberg, one of the county’s old residents, passed away last Thursday evening after a long and painful illness.

Mr. Steinberg was one of the county’s pioneers and during his long and honored career he had earned the respect of all who knew him. His beautiful home, nestled in the mountains, presided over by his popular wife, was a veritable liberty hall to his friends where good cheer and genuine hospitality were ever present.

The deceased was a native of Germany, aged 71 years. Besides his wife he leaves to mourn him, Edward, Harry and George Steinberg and Mrs. Annie Lingley and Tillie Steinberg.

The deceased was laid in a grave in Union Cemetery Sunday afternoon. Impressive services were held at their hall by Bay View Lodge of Odd Fellows under whose auspices the burial took place. The attendance of friends and acquaintances was large and included citizens from everywhere throughout the neighborhood.
