OBITUARY ---------------JESSE NEWTON WILSEY
1916
Jesse Newton Wilsey, brother of Mrs. Mary A. Cloud, of this city, passed away last Monday after an illness of three weeks. Mr. Wilsey had a stroke of apoplexy four years ago, at which time he partially lost his sight and that of his hearing. Mr. Wilsey was born in New Harmondy, Ind., 72 years and 2 months ago. When a boy of nine, with his father and family, he left the Indiana home and crossed the plains in a wagon drawn by an ox team. Over a year was consumed in the journey, as the father brought over a hundred head of cattle with which to start a dairy. The family first settled in San Francisco, but in 1856 moved to a ranch in San Mateo County, on the top of the mountain by the San Mateo-Hall Moon Bay Road. The boy attended the Laguna School and finished the course there. In 1868 he moved to Mendocino County and settled there, near Covelo, in the Round Valley. Here he lived until three years ago, when came to make his home with his sister.
He never married and besides Mrs. Cloud, leaves one brother, D.C. Wilsey in Mendocino County.
The funeral was held from the Congregational Church Wednesday afternoon and the remains were laid at rest beside those of his father, who was interred in 1863.
