He Passes Away This Afternoon at His Home on Westcott Street. A Paralytic Stroke From the Effects of Which He Never Fully Recovered - Brief Sketch of His Life Article: W. S. Huston died at his residence on Westcott street, at 1:45 P.M., today. Some three years ago Mr. Huston was paralyzed, from which he never fully recovered. He was surrounded by all his family except two sons residing at Angels Camp and a daughter who resides in Modoc county. All through his long sickness, not one word of complaint passed his lips. He bore his misfortune with great fortitude and heroic patience, having in mind the better condition and future welfare of his wife and children. With great care he arranged his affairs so as to leave his family in the best possible condition. Mr. Huston was born in Boone county, Missouri, on October 2, 1830. His parents were John M., and Permelia M. Huston. He was the eldest son of a family of twelve children. All these children were born in Missouri, but at the present time, all are in the west. Of this large family the following are living: Mrs. Mary Craig of Modoc county; Mrs. Sarah Evans, of Colorado; John M. Huston of Winters; R. M. Huston of San Francisco; E. T. Huston of Woodland; R. B. Huston and Mrs. Nannie Gregg of Lake county; James Huston, of Oregon, and George Huston, of Vallejo. A sister, Mrs. Laura Jacobs, and a brother Wm. Huston died in Missouri several years ago. His parents were pioneers in Missouri having emigrated from their native State of Kentucky, and afterwards moved to California and settled in Lake county in 1864 where they resided until their deaths. As a mere lad of nineteen years, Mr. Huston came to California, and is therefore a pioneer. He crossed the plains by way of Santa Fe and by the Southern route, arriving in Sacramento in December, 1849. Like all other seekers for the hidden riches of the far West, he went to the mines. His first work was done at Placerville in January, 1850. He first day's work "panned out" $8. He followed mining and prospecting until March 1851. He then followed freighting and selling supplies to miners. He settled in Yolo county, on Cache Creek on July 4, 1852, and there engaged in the stock business and farming. On November 14, 1854, he was married to Miss E. Robinson, who died July 26, 1860, of which marriage there were born three children all of whom survive. They are Mrs. W. D. Morris, of Modoc county, and John C. and William Huston, of Fresno county. He married Sarah A. Laugenour on January 20, 1869. Of this marriage there were born six children, all of whom are living except an infant daughter. They are, Walter S., Arthur C., Edward P., Harry and Bertha Huston. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
