One of the saddest cases of death that has occurred in northern Sonoma lately took place near Cozzen's in Dry Creek valley last Thursday night. Mr. C.B. McFarling, who had been ailing for some time with a throat and lung trouble, returned home late in the evening from a walk. He lay down to rest, and a short time afterwards his 16 year-old daughter found him dead.

The wife and mother was in St. Helena at the time and the brave girl got the several younger children to sleep without letting them know their terrible loss. Then she, with her little brother, went for help to the nearest neighbor, a mile away. Kind friends did all in their power until the arrival of Mrs. McFarling and relatives from St. Helena Friday night.

On Saturday morning the remains were taken to St. Helena, where the interment took place. A wife and a large family of children are left in an almost destitute condition by the taking away of a kind and loving father and husband, their little possessions having been spent in a vain endeavor to regain the lost health of the father.--Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

Abut 10 o'clock Monday morning a member of the party saw the lad sitting in front of S.P. Sherwood's barn about two miles up the valley.
