Orovillle Newspaper (no date): Death of a Pioneer. Joseph Glines Passes away at the Infirmary. Joseph Glines, aged 86, a native of Ohio, died at the Butte Co. infirmary this morning. "Joe" Glines was a pioneer of this State, having crossed the plains in 1849. He claimed to be the oldest miner in California, and without doubt he was, for he followed mining for years in Wisconsin before coming here. He has prospected in almost every part of California and has owned several good properties.
For the past thirty years he has mined near Magalia, this county. One of the mines he owned an interest in there was the old Willard mine, from which Ira Weatherbee many years ago took a lump of gold weighing 57 pounds. Mr. E.W. Fogg, of this place, has been more or less interested with him in the last few years. About a year since he commenced to fail in health and came to Oroville where he could receive medical treatment. He was taken to the Infirmary, where he received the best of attention, but he was too old to recuperate, and early this morning he passed over the "great Divide," where so many of his fellow pioneers have gone before.
Judge Leonard has known him ever since he (the Judge) was a boy in the Wisconsin town where Mr. Glines was then a lead miner. He was married before coming to California, but left his family in the East, where his wife died a few years after his departure. His only child, a daughter, is now residing somewhere in Wisconsin. The funeral will take place tomorrow at 2 o'clock from the undertaking parlors of Henry Bird.
