The Contra Costa Gazette Martinez, Contra Costa County, California Saturday, 12 SEPTEMBER 1874 *********************************************** BORN - GALLOWAY - In Antioch, Sept. 9th, to Mr.&Mrs. J.W. GALLOWAY, a son. BORN - CHASE - In Martinez, Sept. 5th, to Mr.&Mrs. Eli R. CHASE, a daughter. BORN - BISHOP - Near Clayton, Sept. 9th, to Mr.&Mrs. J.O. BISHOP, a son. DIED - DAVIES - In Somersville, Aug. 30th, Morgan, son of David and Eleanor DAVIES, aged 9 years, 11 months, 27 days. DIED - ROONEY - Near Concord, Aug. 30th, Mary, wife of John ROONEY, aged 40 years. RETURNED - Mrs. Capt. Seth M. SWAIN, who has been on a visit of 6 months or more to Eastern friends, arrived back on the overland train last Tuesday in excellent health and spirits, having greatly enjoyed her visit. It would seem something of a fatiguing undertaking for a lady verging upon, if not past the bound of 3-score and 10 years, to cross the continent twice within a few months, but Mrs. SWAIN's experience does not seem to have proved it so.
