Mr. De Carli was driving four horses attached to a gang plow to the field to plow. The two colts became frightened and caused the team to run away.

About six years ago she married Fred Byrne and four children - two boys and two girls - were born to them, the oldest being five years old and the youngest ten months.

Surnames: Jacobs, McFaul, Pound Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UW.2ADE/1836 Message Board Post: Point Arena Record Point Arena, CA August 27, 1909 Passed Away Abner D. Jacobs, an old resident of Point Arena , passed on to the Great Beyond at his home in Ledondo, Los Angeles County, after two weeks of serious illness. Two years ago he received a severe stroke of paralysis, from which he did not fully recover, although he was able to be up and around. Six months ago he received another slight stroke and from that time on began to grow steadily weaker, until the end came on the evening of August the 7th, 1909. Those at his bedside say no pain attended his death at all. Abner D. Jacobs was conspicuous among the old pioneer residents of Mendocino County, coming here when the country was in its original wildness, ere the dusky savage had fled before the advancing step of civilization. A son of John Jacobs, he was born January 6, 1836, in Arnheim, Brown County, Ohio. In 1854, he started for the Pacific with the late Dr. T. L. Barnes, of Ukiah, with an ox team, the trip taking six months. He began life as a miner in Eldorado county. After two years of prospecting he went to Petaluma, Sonoma County, where he remained for a time before going to Mendocino County, where he resided for many years, subsequently purchasing a home east of Ledondo, Los Angeles County, where he lived free from the cares of active business. In 1868, in Mendocino County, Mr. Jacobs married Martha Jane Pound, sister of E. P. and W. B. Pound, of Point Arena. She died on March 22, 1885, leaving a husband and five children, four of which, Mrs. C. W. McFaul, of Westport, John, Charlie, and Violet Jacobs, of Los Angeles were with him as he passed away. He was laid to rest beside his daughter, Hettie, in the Compton cemetery, Los Angeles.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UW.2ADE/1822.1 Message Board Post: My husband's grandfather, Leslie Marshall, first shows up in Little Lake Twp, Mendicino Co. in 1910 at age 21. He was born in California, July 2, 1888, but his parents origins are shown on the 1910 census as "unknown." He is living with or next to Joseph Marshall, 34, who seems to be a son of Ralph Waldo Marshall of Illinois, but Leslie is clearly not a brother of Joseph. Family tradition is that Leslie was orphaned at an early age. Do you think he might be connected to the Marshall family of Fort Bragg? Beth
