PIONEER APPLEGATE RESIDENT IS DEAD
Death Follows a Brief Illness at His Home
George C. Hepburn, one of the oldest residents of the foothill section passed away at his home in Applegate, Tuesday morning, after an illness of 48 hours. Death was due to a stroke of paralysis, which occurred Sunday. From the time of the last stroke until his death, Mr. Hepburn remained in bed. During the early days of last week, he suffered a slight stroke while he was walking to the barn. Since the first one last week, he had not felt well, but death was not anticipated as a result of the illness.
Several years ago Mr. Hepburn who had always been robust and hardy, suffered an attack of the influenza. Since that time he as been slightly ailing, until his death Tuesday. he sold his store, as a result of his failing health, to Willis stokes, who has conducted the business in the new location on the highway, since he purchased it from Mr. Hepburn.
Beloved by all who knew him, George Hepburn will be missed in the Applegate section as few men are missed when the trials of this life are over. Always befriending those in need. Mr. Hepburn numbered every resident of that section as his friend.
Mrs. Hepburn is left to mourn the death. Funeral services were held today from the Mehl and Hislop undertaking parlors in this city and interment took place in the I.O.O.F. cemetery here. Geo. Hepburn was on of the leading democrats of Placer county and for many years was a member of the Democratic County Central Committee. Besides his activities in county politics, he was an active worker for his community, school and church, having served as a member of the school board for many years. Fraternally he has been a member of Quebec Lodge no. 188 of Canada for fifty years.

Wedding Bells - The Happy Marriage of George C. Hepburn and Miss Melmer S. Wood--At Chillawalls, the home of the bride's parents in Applegate, this county, on the evening of St. Valentine's Day, was solemnized the wedding of Mr. George C. Hepburn and Miss Melmer S. Wood, the Rev. Mr. Burgess pronouncing the ceremony. The home was very tastefully and appropriately ornamented and arranged for the occasion. At about eight o'clock PM in the presence of the bride's parents, brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Applegate, Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Seavor, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Fellows, Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Hawver, Mrs. Dr. Rooney and son Harry, Miss W. E. Alexander, Miss Katie Atherton, Messrs. F. H. Fellows, H. Sterns and T. H. B. Taylor, the groom and Mr. George Wood entered the room, taking position on the floor and were soon joined by the bride and her sister, when in the very choicest of manner and selection of ceremony the contracting couple were assigned to the duties new to them in life. After the hearty blessings and cheerful wishes of all present, the bride and groom led the march to the dining room where, seated around the table whose every dish was delicacy and deliciousness unexcelled, (away out of sight) mirth and jollity carried the hour by the force of its appropriateness. After dinner, songs, music, recitations, and more mirth-filled moments to overflowing until half past eleven, when, mid another shower of blessings -- minus rice and old shoes -- the smiling couple were escorted to the station by a dozen of their friends, some of whom accompanied them as far as Auburn on their way to San Francisco, spending a few days at the Midwinter Fair. On returning, they will make Applegate their future residence. In one of the rooms were displayed the many appropriate, costly, and shining presents, detected among which was a slip of paper bearing the following: "St. Valentine's Day, 1894, Applegate, Cal. For and in consideration of love and affection, together with good wishes, we have this day parted title, and do by these presence convey to the new matrimonial firm of G. C. Hepburn and Melmer S. Wood, to be known as G. C. Hepburn and wife, the Jersey cow and calf named Mollie and her baby. [signed] G. W. Applegate, M. M. Applegate." Another card was inscribed thus: "The past belongs to God, the present only is ours; and short as it is, there is more in it and of it than we can well manage. That man who can grapple it and measure it and fill it with his purpose is doing a man's work; none can do more, but thousands do less. [signed] Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Fellows." The groom is a man of sterling quality, integrity, and uprightness stamped upon every lineament of his being. He is the one merchant of Applegate, is the Post Master, and the confident of the S. P. Company. The bride, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. S. Wood, is well known in Auburn where for the past three and a half years, she has won her way to every virtue of deportment to the warm esteem and highest regard of our populace. During this time she has done much of the work accomplished in Dr. Hawver's Dental Office.
