"Thomas Banbury Dead. Thomas Banbury, one of Pasadena's pioneers, died yesterday morning at 9:30 O'Clock at his ranch near Etiwanda, where he has been most of the time since two years ago. Mr. Banbury's health had been failing for a long time and on Sunday he was seized with pnaumonia. The funeral will be held Thursday morning at 10:30 O'Clock, at his home place, No. 676 Lincoln Avenue, the Masons being in charge.
Mr Banbury was born in England in 1849. He removed to Canada and came to Pasadena in 1876, when the city was but two years old. He had been a railroad contractor, and he immediately became identified with the upbuilding of Pasadena. It was he who built the water ditch from Devil's Gate to the city, and several reservoirs. He graded Raymond Hill for the first hotel, nearly twenty years ago. He owned a great deal of property in Pasadena, La Canada, Lamanda Park, and in San Bernardino county.
Mr. Banbury's first wife is dead, but his second wife lives at the Etiwanda ranch. The children are Samuel, who owns a ranch at Etiwanda; Miss Flora, who lives here; Tom, who is now in Seattle; Marthin, George, Raymond and Elgin, living at the ranch. four brothers, Jabez, Gus, wesley and Loren, and a sister, Mrs. H. G. Hollingsworth, reside in this neighborhood."
