Vern D ////////////////////////////////////////// Transcribed by "Dee Sardoc" <deesar@frontiernet.net> CASANJOA-L@rootsweb.com /////////////////////////// Weekly Stockton Democrat Stockton, San Joaquin Co., CA December 1858 ************************* Sunday, 19 Dec 1858 ******************** FUNERAL -- The funeral of the late Mr. C.W. BRADFORD, that was to have taken place Saturday, was postponed until Sunday, owing to an unusual severe storm. The funeral sermon was preached in the Cumberland Presbyterian church. The building was not sufficiently large to contain the great number that attended. The procession formed by the Firemen, Odd Fellows and citizens generally, preceded by the Stockton Band, formed a lengthy line, and escorted the body to the Odd Fellows Cemetery. It was a procession worthy of one who had ever been found a worthy citizen.
