Martha: SLO Tribune hard copies and microfilm in the City-County Library may go back that far, maybe someone on this list can respond and do an obit lookup. Paso Robles Press records go back to November of 1886, with issues and few entire years missing here and there. But the Exline family has descendants, know a few today. In 1989 participated in an historical publication that included the Exlines: "Centennial Family Memories." From Switzerland to Philadelphia in 1727. Wagon trained to CA couple generations later, local branch went first to El Dorado County. Homesteaded 160 acres north of Paso Robles, a county road is named "Exline Road" to this day. Bernard Exline settled here in 1868. Wife was Elizabeth Huey Exline, came from El Dorado County with Wm. Henry and couple other children from El Dorado Co. and at least three more born here. Pioneers Bernard and Eliz. Exline are buried in nearby Estrella Adobe Church cemetery, others around Paso Robles area including their granddaughter Alice Exline Brown and her husband Joseph. Son William Henry Exline (b. 1856 El Dorado County, CA) and spouse Harriet Esther Warner Exline are mentioned, they had at least four children including Alice. Md. into the Tognazzini's as well, and a large family reunion of Exlines, Browns and related families is held each October. Attended one in downtown city park, with 50+ folks 1980s. 160 acre homestead settled by Bernard, but there could have been other members of this family not in my records here at home.
