SAN JOSE, July 18. - Mrs. Loreto Bojorques, a pioneer of this county, died today at 224 West San Fernando street at the advanced age of 93. She was born in San Francisco in 1810. She was a member of the old Berryessa family, so well known in the early history of this state, being a daughter of Reyes Berryessa. Her mother was Zacarias Bernal. The descedants of the two pioneer families live on the old Bernal Rancho at Santa Teresa.
Mrs. Bojorques was married in 1835 at her home in the Presidio District and came to Santa Clara to live. For fifty years she and her husband and their children inhabited an old adobe house on the corner of Market and Agnew streets. In 1885 they moved to San Jose. The old lady had been a sufferer from asthma for more than a year. About two weeks ago the pains became too severe for her weakened system to withstand.
She is survived by three sons, Bartolo in San Francisco, John in Santa Rosa, and Avellsadio in Santa Barbara; by one daughter and also by a sister, Mrs. Magdalena, living on Locust street this city. One granddaughter, Mrs. Susie Salazar, lives at 236 Post street, San Francisco.
