Obituary.
Mrs. Laura PROUTY, mother of Robert A., Frank H. and Joseph L. PROUTY, who has been in failing health for several months past, died at the home of her son Joseph in Waterford on the 8th inst., surrounded by her children and other near relatives.
Typhiod-pneumonia was the immediate cause of death, and at 5:30 o'clock of last Monday morning, the soul of this Christian lady left the body and departed for heaven.
Mrs. PROUTY was a native of Massachusetts and 82 years of age. She had been a resident of California for 13 years where she removed shortly after the death of her husband, to be with her sons and other near relatives.
A little more than a year ago she lived for a while with her son, Sheriff PROUTY, in Mariposa and her gentle and loving disposition won for her the respect and admiration of us all. The internment took place in Modesto and the large procession of mourners and sorrowing friends that followed the body to its grave, was a grand testimonial of the love and esteem in which the departed was held.
