SAMUEL L. ROGERS IS SUMMONED BY DEATH
Samuel L. Rogers, a well-known attorney of San Francisco, died this morning at his home on Vermont avenue, Fruitvale, in the seventy-third year of his age.
The deceased had been suffering from typhoid fever for some time. He fancied that he was not dangerously ill and, accordingly, refused to send for or be treated by a physician. This morning, however, a physician was sent for and Dr. Callen responded. The disease, however, had gained a hold upon the patient, which could not be loosened. The deceased was a man of ability and respected by his acquaintances.

Conflict with a Madman
From: Brooklyn Independent, 18 June 1870, page 2, column 4:
Conflict with a Madman
John Glassbrook, an insane man, has been confined since Saturday in the City Prison, awaiting examination by the Lunacy Commissioners preparatory to being sent to the Stockton Asylum. Sunday, while in one of the cells with a Chinaman, he was seized with an unusually violent attack, which vented itself in a furious assault on his companion. The prison keeper ran to the cell, but neither he nor his assistants dared to go to the Chinaman's rescue, so violent was the madman's rage and so dangerous did he appear. Finally a young man named Mellon entered the cell, and after a severe contest, in which he was several times bitten and scratched, succeeded in overpowering the maniac so that the others could come to his assistance. Several policemen were called in and a straight waistcoat was put on him and his struggles controlled. The Chinaman was quite severely injured. Glassbrook imagines it his duty to die as soon as possible, in as close proximity to the American flag as he can conveniently attain, and with this object in view is incessantly calling for one to hang up in his cell, in order that he may decently expire beneath it. He wrote an order for half a dozen American flags, a cigar and a cup of coffee, and gave it to a turnkey with directions to procure the articles at once. Two mild Chinese lunatics, who were confined in the same cell with him had a warm time of it; he seemed to be persuaded that the American flag was in their blankets, and no sooner had they satisfied him of his mistake than he rooted them out from under them again and yelled wildly for three cheers for the flag. He will be sent to the Asylum as soon as possible. --SF Bulletin

Missing since April 27 17-year-old Leonard Zeb of 3322 Garringo street, Fruitvale, is being sought by his father, who has asked the aid of both the Oakland and San Francisco police forces.
He is the only child and his father can give no reason for his disappearance other than the fact that the boy always had been of an adventuous [sic] nature. It is thought the boy may have signed on some sea-going steamer as his father is a sea captain and the boy has always wanted to follow the life of a sailor.

G.M. Chase, Son of First Settler, Dies
From The Oakland Tribune, 21 May 1919, p. 3
G.M. Chase, Son of First Settler, Dies
George M. Chase, son of the first white man to settle in the part of Alameda county where the city of Oakland now stands, suffered a heart attack Monday evening and died. He was sitting on the porch of the home where he has lived since 18?4 and which has the distinction of being the oldest residence in Oakland, when death came. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning from a local undertaking chapel. The death of Chase marks the passing of the oldest pioneer this side of the bay.
When the 159th infantry came home from France last month Chase was one of the five of the original Old Guard, the parent organization formed during the Civil War days, to escort the young veterans through the streets of the city in the guard of honor.
Chase's father, Moses Chase, came to California in 1849, going to the northern mines. Shortly he abandoned the hunt for gold to locate in a forest of oaks at Gibbon's Point, now the foot of the Oakland mole. He explored the whole bay region and discovered the creek which separates Oakland and Alameda today. He leased the site, which afterward became Clinton, now a portion of East Oakland. Hunting ducks for the market with an income of $1000 a month was his means of livelihood.
George Chase inherited the old home at 401 East Eighth street, which in 1854 was brought to Oakland by way of the Horn.
On the death of his mother he came to California in '5? from Newburyport, Mass., where he was born in 1841, and reared by his aunt. The trip was made in the ship Fly Away around Cape Horn. He completed his education in the Oakland college.
Chase's first business venture was as toll collector at the old Twelfth street bridge. Later he joined his father hauling freight across the bay. He served as copyist under P. R. Borein, county recorder, and later received an appointment as deputy county treasurer under James A. Webster and Socrates Huff. November, 1892, saw him elected county treasurer.
Chase was the first man to be initiated into Orion Lodge No. 189, I. O. O. F. He had passed all the chairs and been a representative to the grand lodge. He acted as recorder in the Ancient Order of United Workmen for 28 years, succeeding to the office of financier. He had been actively identified with Oakland Camp No. 94, Woodmen of the World. Mr. and Mrs. Chase were the last of the charter members in Brooklyn Rebekah Lodge No. 12.
Mrs. Mary Emily Williams, the well known singer, is a daughter of Chase, and lives at the old home. The other children are George Moses Chase, and Albert B. Chase of San Francisco.

Wife Blameless

WIFE BLAMELESS
Alameda, May 5-Coroner Grant Miller held an inquest last night to inquire into the death of Captain William Peters, veteran Oakland harbor boatman and waterfront character, who was drowned Thursday night when he fell from a rowboat while crossing from the Oakland shore to his scow on the Alameda side of the harbor.
The testimony showed that Peters was accidentally drowned. The fact that Peters' wife spent hours shooting a revolver and screaming for help in a vain effort to attract aid until several hours after the drowning, caused the coroner and Chief of Police John Conrad to carefully sift Mrs. Peters' story.
Mrs. Peters was questioned at police headquarters for several hours yesterday regarding the tragedy and was then released, it being clearly shown that Mrs. Peters was not only in nowise to blame for the tragedy but that she was compelled to watch helplessly while her husband went to his death.

DROPPED DEAD
A Man found Dead in the Road at Berkeley
Coroner Mather has the body of a Frenchman named Roland on his hands in the rear of Helmer's undertaker's rooms. An inquest will be held this evening.
After some inquiry we got a little of the man's history. Mr. Gaudin, liquor dealer on Broadway near Seventh street, gave us the man's name, and stated that the deceased was at his place about seven o'clock last evening; had taken a couple of glasses of wine there, but was not at all intoxicated when he left. Mr. G. says he has known him for twenty years; that he was at one time in the mining towns of Sonora, Columbia, etc; and latterly from Portland, Oregon.
Roland had only been in Oakland about three weeks; was engaged in keeping the Antisell House at Berkeley; and his body was found last night within a few hundred yards of that place.
He probably dropped dead from heart-disease or apoplexy. Some $500 was found on his person, and there can hardly be the least evidence of foul play. Deceased looks to have been about fifty years of age.

Fatal Accident
From The Oakland Tribune, 30 May 1874
Fatal Accident.
On Monday, May 18th, Mr. John Brown, a German, who had been living for several years on the divide between the Arroyo Honda and Calaveras Creek, some three miles from Calaveras Valley in Washington township, was found dead about a quarter of a mile from his house. He was lying under a log, which had evidently rolled on to him while he was chopping wood. He was probably killed on the previous Friday, as Mr. Brannan, who lives some distance farther up the divide, saw him on Friday morning. He requested Mr. Brannan to bring him a can of oil from town. Brannan left the can of oil at Brown's door, and on passing by on Monday morning was surprised to see the oil can just where he had left it on Friday, when search was made and the dead body was found, as above stated.

The Brooklyn Tragedy
From The Oakland Tribune, 28 May 1874
The Brooklyn Tragedy
The Tribune yesterday referred to a rumor of a terrible tragedy in the environs of East Oakland. The reports were fully corroborated last evening. Following are the main facts of the startling affair:
The perpetrator of the tragedy was Patrick Feeny, a well-to-do farmer residing about two miles north of East Oakland. Early yesterday morning he entered the bedroom where his wife was sleeping, and approached her with his hands behind his back. A light was burning on the table, and the wife saw evil in his eyes. she asked him what he had there, and he answered nothing; but she instantly sprang out of bed, threw her arms around him, discovered that he was armed with an axe, and concluded that he meant to murder the whole family. She called loudly to her three girls, the oldest of whom was about twelve years of age, to get up and leave the house, but instead of this they rushed to their mother. She managed to blow out the light before this, in order that he might not see the children. He aimed several blows of the axe at their heads, striking each several times, but in consequence of the mother's struggles to disarm the maniac, none of them fell with great force or precision. The eldest girl, however, received a dangerous cut on the back part of the head and another on the cheek. Another child received a cut on the cheek and a slight blow on the lower part of the back. The only dangerous wound is that on the head of the elder, but it is not probable that it will result fatally.
THE MADMAN ATTEMPTS HIS OWN LIFE
Having been finally disarmed by the brave wife, the madman disappeared from the house. At daylight he was discovered lying in a pool of blood near the residence of John Hampet, half a mile distant, with eight wounds in his left breast, inflicted with a butcher's knife, which lay close by. That the unfortunate man had inflicted these wounds upon himself there is little reason to doubt. They were all in the body, and several of them are deep cuts. One, at least, which penetrated the lung, is necessarily fatal. Father Gleeson and Dr. Ramford, who were sent for, visited the wounded man in the morning. The Doctor dressed his wounds and the priest attended to his spiritual welfare. He subsequently made his will, and is now prepared to die. The doctor says there is little probability of his recovery, although he may live a few days. It is thought by his wife that a recent transaction in real estate, with which he was dissatisfied, weighed upon his mind and drove him to desperation.
PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY HIS FAMILY
Feeny is a man about fifty years of age, owning a valuable farm in Brooklyn township, where he resided, and other real estate, including town property in Oakland. He has been temperate and acquisitive and is probably worth from $60,000 to $70,000. About a year ago he received a fall, by which he hurt his head badly. For some days past, his wife noticed that her husband's manner had been strange, causing her some alarm.
Some time since he attempted to poison himself and his children, but regretting what he had done, he gave speedy information and remedies were applied that saved their lives. On last Tuesday night he appeared very restive, getting out of bed several times, going out of doors and returning. His wife did all she could to compose him.

Coroner Mather yesterday held an inquest in the matter of the death of young Hooper, the man who fell into the Bay from one of the local trains on the railroad wharf on the 12th instant. The deceased had been around town during the day, and was on his way home in the baggage car. It is supposed that a short lurch of the car caused him to fall through the side doorway. Several bruises were on his body, caused, probably, by his falling upon the fence alongside the tract. The jury returned the following verdict:
We the undersigned jurors convened to inquire into the cause of death of a person found, drowned, in the Bay of San Francisco, on Monday, May 18th, do find that the deceased name was Joseph Kent Hooper, a native of the State of Maine, aged 84 years [sic], and that he came to his death by accidentally falling from a car in the local train on the 12th day of May, while said train was in motion and that no blame attaches to the Central Pacific Railroad Company or any of the employees of said train.
Joseph Becht, M. M. Howe, J. J. S. Wyckoff, W. Jordan, L. S. Bixby, T. M. Lamping, D. Vogt, T. A. Belus, R. C. Harman, J. M. Rosenberg.

PLUMBER WAS IN DANGER
From The Oakland Tribune, 28 January 1899
PLUMBER WAS IN DANGER
An Insane Woman Did Not Like His Actions
Mrs. Martin Kaiser, of 572 Williams street, who was brought to the Receiving Hospital yesterday on account of her mental derangement will not be sent to an asylum at present.
Her husband will provide a private nurse for her and try to restore her reason.
He believes that she will recover if she can be kept quiet until her nervous system is improved. Mrs. Kaiser is 47 years of age and has one daughter.
She has been suffering from a nervous condition for some time, and her physician expected she would break down.
She aroused the neighborhood yesterday by chasing John Wilkins, a plumber, around the yard with a monkey wrench, yelling at the top of her voice.

BURIED AT THE COUNTY'S EXPENSE
From: The Oakland Tribune, 28 January 1899
BURIED AT THE COUNTY'S EXPENSE
Yesterday afternoon the remains of Miss E. C. Rich, Temescal's eccentric old maid, were interred at the expense of the county. Public Administrator B. C. Hawes, accompanied by Officer McKinley, visited the house wherein this peculiar person lived and died. They found it in a state of filthiness that would be hard to describe. Aside from a few pieces of clothing which indicated that at one time the old maid had been well dressed, a dime, and a few trinkets, there was nothing of value found. In a trunk was found a complete set of baby clothes, probably the ones worn by deceased in her babyhood.
The Poundmaster took two wagon loads of dogs, cats, and goats to the Pound. A number of goats and a valueless horse were given to the neighbors. Many of the dogs escaped, but will probably be rounded up by the Poundman later.
The house is in such a condition of filth that it will no doubt be declared a nuisance by the Board of Health.

Sad Termination of an Intended Pleasure Trip to the Yosemite Valley
From The Brooklyn Independent, 18 June 1870, page 3:
About two weeks ago, a party of six boys and two teachers from Mr. McClure's Oakland Academy, left on horseback for the Yosemite Valley, among whom was Frank Tubbs, son of Mr. H. Tubbs of this town; a son of Judge Campbell, of Oakland; a son of Mr. Bonnestel, and a son of H. C. Bennett, Esq., the well-known grain dealer, of San Francisco, a boy about fifteen years of age. The party had been up to the Nevada Falls, and were returning when they reached the ford of the Merced River. One of the teachers took the lead and crossed first, the boys following after, one teacher coming last. Young Bennett was the last of the boys to cross. He rode a mule at the time, which became somewhat unmanageable. As the stream carried them down, the mule sunk into a deep place in the river, and young Bennett was thrown. The rapid tide took both under some logs that obstructed the stream at this point; they soon appeared, however, at an opening, when the mule swam ashore. Young Bennett, who was a good swimmer, appeared to be struggling in the water; he was, however, drawn under a second tier of logs, and the distance under water being so great before another clearing occurred, young Bennett was drowned. After a diligent search of two hours, his companions found his dead body a considerable distance downstream.
Yesterday morning his father received a letter from him, giving an account of the the trip and speaking of the enjoyment all the members of the party experienced during their sojourn in the valley. Shortly after reading the letter he received a dispatch stating his son had been drowned, as described above. The father, of course, is almost heart broken at this sad termination of what promised to be a most enjoyable experience in his son's life. Mrs. Bennett is on a visit at the East.
Mr. Kerr, one of the teachers, brought the body of young Bennett back to the city of Oakland. For a distance of forty miles he was obliged to pack him on the mule's back. He arrived on Thursday night.
