                        DEATH TAKES JAS. SANBORN
                      
                FORMER WELL KNOWN PORT HURON MAN SUCCUMBS
                          IN SAN GABRIEL, CAL.
                          
                  Relatives and friends of JAMES M. SAN-
                BORN, for many years a well known and 
                prominent resident of Port Huron, have
                received word of his death in San Gabriel,
                Cal.
                  MR. SANBORN'S later boyhood years and
                those of his business career were passed
                in Port Huron, he being one of the city's
                resourceful merchants during the Civil
                war and the decade following. Later he
                spent a few years in the city of St. Clair,
                after which, to benefit his health and for
                a widened opportunity, he removed to
                southern California, where he made a per-
                manent home, finding the long sought for
                better health in the favored climate and
                profit in the orange groves of his own
                planting.
                  In the year 1887 MR. SANBORN was mar-
                ried to Miss LELIA WHITING, the eldest
                daughter of the late Colonel WHITING,
                of St. Clair. Three sons were born to
                Mr. and Mrs. SANBORN, GEORGE CHARLES and
                HUGH. The death of the two younger sons
                in the opening years of their manhood -
                one in far away South Africa - brought
                deep grief into the family circle of the
                surviving father, mother and brother
                GEORGE.
                  The very recent death of MRS. SANBORN
                proved a severe shock to MR. SANBORN'S
                nervous system, and no doubt, led the
                way to the attack of illness from which
                he failed to rally.
                  The deceased was the youngest brother
                of the late Gen. WILLIAM SANBORN and
                PETER H. SANBORN, well known to all of
                the other citizens of Port Huron, and
                of JOHN PITTS SANBORN and Miss N. M. SAN-
                BORN, who survive him.
                  As a man MR. SANBORN was straight for-
                ward and sincere, of a genial social
                nature; an observer of a life's small
                courtesies; a pleasant friend; an excel-
                lent neighbor and a patriotic citizen.
