JOHN P. ZEYN PASSES AWAY PIONEER CITIZEN· DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS Was One of Three Remaining Stockholders In Original Mother Colony Enterprise in 1857—Came to Anaheim in 1860 and Had Since Resided Here—Burial Under Auspices of Odd Fellows’ Lodge of this City John P. Zeyn breathed his last at the family home on North Los Angeles street on Thursday evening, October 7, at 7:30 p.m. He succumbed to the infirmities of old age, being at the time of his death 78 years, 8 months and 12 days old. He was ill about ten days, but for a year or more past had been at times in feeble health. He was one of the three remaining shareholders out of the original fifty who in 1857 organized in San Francisco the Los Angeles Vineyard Society, which purchased 1100 acres of land which is now the greater portion of the city of Anaheim. He came to Anaheim in 1860. He was among the first of the pioneers to come to this city. He was the father of six children, two of whom survive, Mrs. Chester E. Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn, who, with Mr. Holcomb, were at his bedside when the final summons came. ciates of deceased. The pallbearers were H. A. Dickel, Frank Eastman, Jerry Howard, Frank Machlleb, O. T. Callor and Henry Westerman. The remains were viewed by those who gathered at the bier, and then were carried to the hearse for the march to the cemetery. At the grave Noble Grand Howard and Chaplain Moore conducted the services, and the remains were laid to rest in the tomb. A well-known citizen closed his career when Mr. Zeyn died. He was among the first of the original shareholders to come to Anaheim, in 1860, and had thus resided here forty-nine years. His term of residence was perhaps the longest in the history of the Mother Colony. DEATH OF MRS. LANDELL Interment Will Occur This Morning from Santa Fe Depot Mrs. Sarah Landell, widow of the late Judge J. W. Landell, died on Tuesday at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Margaret Hughes, at St. James’s park, Los Angeles. She was in her sixty-second year, and had been ill for a long time past. The body will be brought to Anaheim for interment, and will arrive at the Santa Fe depot at 11.44 on Thursday morning.

He came to Anaheim in 1860. He was among the first of the pioneers to come to this city. He was the father of six children, two of whom survive, Mrs. Chester E. Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn, who, with Mr. Holcomb, were at his bedside when the final summons came. Deceased was a native of Germany. He came to San Francisco direct from Hamburg in 1849, sailing around the Horn, the trip consuming eight months. In the earlier years of the colony he was president of the Anaheim Water company, and when the community was organized in a city government in the 70's was a member of the city trustees. He was in later years, after the amalgamation of the Anaheim water company and the Cajon water company into the Anaheim Union Water company, a member of the board of directors, and took an active interest in the development of the irrigating facilities of the valley. He was born near Hamburg January 25, 1831. He was married to Miss Sophia Menke in San Francisco on October 10, 1854. She was a native of Germany. She was born December 15, 1829. She died in Anaheim March 4, 1870. Of the six children, the first Johan Heinrich, was born in San Francisco Sept. 24, 1855. He died in early childhood. Carl Herman Zeyn was born in San Francisco October 20, 1857, and died in Anaheim October 18, 1884. Frederick Robert Oscar Zeyn was born in San Francisco September 30, 1859, and died in Anaheim September 17, 1908. Gustave Conrad Zeyn was born in Anaheim December 26, 1864, and died in Alameda May 9, 1896. The two surviving daughters, Mrs. Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn, are the only blood relatives in the United States. Three sisters and a nephew live at Hamburg. He was a member of the Odd Fellows' lodge, which order he joined in San Francisco more than fifty years ago. Mr. Zeyn was born at Dreckharburg province of Hanover. His wife was born in Engelyn, province of Hanover. Mrs. Sarah Landell, widow of the late Judge J. W. Landell, died on Tuesday at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Margaret Hughes, at St. James's park, Los Angeles. She was in her sixty-second year, and had been ill for a long time past. The body will be brought to Anaheim for interment, and will arrive at the Santa Fe depot at 11:44 on Thursday morning. Mrs. Landell was a pioneer resident of Centralia, where she lived with her family many years. She is survived by five grown children. HOFFBRAU HAUS What Took Herr Pressel's Eye In Munich Fred Pressel advises his friends who contemplate a trip to Germany to go no further than Munich—there they will see it all. In Munich is where they make the best beer in the world—Anaheim alone excepted—and in the Hoffbrau Haus he saw spigots flowing constantly, with no sign of ever having to be turned off. This is going some. In one of the great beer amphitheaters Mr. Pressel saw four large casks of beer flowing continuously. Waiters holding in their hands four litres (mugs holding two of the schoolers of commerce) stand in line to fill the receptacles with the amber nectar of the gods. The flow is constant, never ending. And such beer. Mr. Pressel saw a lady aboard ship going over talking prohibition, and in the Hoffbrauhaus there she was getting outside of her litre. The Hoffbrauhaus is the municipal beer emporium of Munich, and Herr Pressel says it is out of sight.

OCTOBER 14, 1909 A SOLDIER'S PROUD RECORD DELOS MORTON ANSWERS FINAL BUGLE CALL Lived Here With His Family Thirty-four Years — Enlisted Early In War, Fought at Shiloh, Chicamauga and Chattanooga—News of Absent Son — Many Flowers for Old Hero Delos Morton, for 34 years a resident of this section, died at his home at Magnolia of heart failure at 5:30 on Friday morning. He had been recently in poor health, but nothing indicated that the end was so near. He retired apparently in his usual health and spirits on Thursday evening. Shorting before his death Mrs. Morton was awakened by his deep breathing, and being unable to awaken him, ran to the home of W. H. Kennedy, across the road, and summoned help. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy went at once with Mrs. Morton, and telephone summons was sent a physician. Mr. Morton expired without gaining consciousness. When Dr. Wickett arrived he was dead. Delos Morton was a well-known and familiar figure in the community, where he had lived with his wife for thirty-four years. He came to Anaheim from Pennsylvania in 1875. He was a native of Berlin, Ohio, be- erates attempted to make a stand, but they were quickly put to flight again. The fighting was not all on one side; the enemy at first made a good defense and inflicted some loss. There was no further engagement that day. On the 16th came the main battle. The Forty-first with its brigade moved up toward the confederate position at Overton Knob, and passed some weary hours in waiting. The regiment was on high ground, a valley separating this from the higher knob. The valley and knob were thinly covered with wood. Finally, an assault was determined on. Artillery opened on the fortified line on the knob, with a little effect. Some of the logs that crowned the earthworks were knocked out of place or splintered. There was no show of return fire by the enemy. After some minutes of this artillery practice, the brigade was ordered to the assault of the works, the Forty-first being again on the skirmish line. Its orders were to go as far as possible without the aid of the main line. The regiment moved briskly down the slope into the valley, and began the ascent of the long declivity stretching to the earthworks at the top. The enemy offered no resistance until the skirmishers were within about one hundred yards of the works; then they opened fire, but it was not severe in effect, and the skirmishers ROAD BONDS, AND A BIG FEED ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE HERE OCTOBER 27 Banquet to Be Spread at Odd Fellow's Hall—Under Inspiration Of Feast, All Hands Are Expected to Favor Road Bonds The chamber of commerce met in regular session on Monday evening with Mills, Angell, Wickett, Weise and Ross present. The chamber was advised that the associated chambers of commerce of Orange county will meet in this city the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 27, to resume the discussion of good roads bonds. Odd Fellow's hall was designated as the scene of the banquet spread, and a notable chef will be engaged to prepare such a tempting menu that all hands present will favor bonds for good roads and everything else. The meeting is destined to be an important one in the road-bond campaign as the supervisors will have by that time decided the matter of appointing highway commissioners. If the supervisors permit the associated chambers of commerce to name the commission, the campaign will go on. If the supervisors refuse to yield,and if this there seems to be little doubt the bonding campaign may come to of the led on her moat St. She was had had The heim for at the Thursday president ed with Dwn chilEye in friends Germany—there take the heim alLoffbrau g conhaving ing some. amphitheur large nously.

Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy went at once with Mrs. Morton, and telephone summons was sent a physician. Mr. Morton expired without gaining consciousness. When Dr. Wickett arrived he was dead. Delos Morton was a well-known and familiar figure in the community, where he had lived with his wife for thirty-four years. He came to Anaheim from Pennsylvania in 1875. He was a native of Berlin, Ohio, being born July 29, 1842, and was thus at the time of his death in his sixty-seventh year. He settled at West Anaheim, where he lived until 1903, when he disposed of his place and moved to Magnolia, where he purchased land and engaged in farming. Deceased is survived by a widow and one son Herbert, who was heard from three months ago in South America. The lad left for the South Sea islands in the 80's and had not been heard from in years. It was feared he was drowned in the tidal wave which swept over Tahiti and neighboring islands a number of years ago. In June a letter was received from him, stating he was well, and was preparing to embark upon a whaling voyage. Deceased rarely spoke of his son, but when he did so it was evident that under his rugged exterior there remained a tender spot for the boy whom he mourned as dead. Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church on Monday morning at 11 o'clock. A large concourse of friends and neighbors gathered at the residence at Magnolia at 10 o'clock. The funeral cortege proceeded to the Presbyterian church, where Rev Mitchell conducted services. The pallbearers were T. S. Grimshaw, J. W. Duckworth, Richard Melrose, A. E. Sparkes, Oscar Henner, and A. Spencer. The church choir rendered a number of appropriate hymns. The casket was covered with beautiful floral emblems. At conclusion of the services the funeral proceeded to the cemetery, where the body was laid to rest. Mr. Morton had an honorable war record. He was a member of Company B, 41st Ohio infantry, during the civil war. He enlisted at the age of 19 August 20, 1861, for a term of three years. He was mustered out at expiration of term of service, September 8, 1864. the works, the forty-first being again on the skirmish line. Its orders were to go as far as possible without the aid of the main line. The regiment moved briskly down the slope into the valley, and began the ascent of the long declivity stretching to the earthworks at the top. The enemy offered no resistance until the skirmishers were within about one hundred yards of the works; then they opened fire, but it was not severe in effect, and the skirmishers started on a run. It was seen that a line of abattis covered the works at about thirty yards distance; but no serious difficulty was expected in removing this before the main line should come up. When the skirmishers reached the abattis, it was found to be regularly constructed, and staked down—the only complete defence of this kind ever encountered by the regiment. There was no moving the abattis; it held the assailants under the fire from the works, unable to advance. They tugged ineffectually at the abattis a moment or two, and then threw themselves on the ground and opened fire on the works. These were well made and the logs along the top gave the defenders a good protection. While this was going on, two lines of infantry were seen to enter the works. Instantly they opened a tremendous fire on the assailants. The line of battle behind could not advance to the skirmishers at the abattis. Some colored troops which had been sent in on the left were broken and then thrown into confusion, and drifted over on to the ground behind the Forty-first, mingling with the troops there. That their officers did their best to hold these colored soldiers to the fight, is shown by the fact that nearly every one of the officers were killed or wounded. Col. Post, the brigade commander, was wounded and disabled, and their losses through out the brigade were becoming heavy. Meantime several of the Forty-first skirmishers had penetrated the abattis by crawling through; Private Kleinhaus of F company, having thus forced a passage, ran up and leaped the works—a prisoner, of course. Col Kimberly saw that the main line was making no headway, and could not; the attack on the left had failed entirely, and the colored men were no longer in the fight on their ground. The Forty-first was therefore withdrawn, but several men had passed the abattis, and these were left. The whole attacking force was in retreat. hands present will favor bonds for good roads and everything else. The meeting is destined to be an important one in the road-bond campaign as the supervisors will have by that time decided the matter of appointing highway commissioners. If the supervisors permit the associated chambers of commerce to name the commission, the campaign will go on. If the supervisors refuse to yield,and of this there seems to be little doubtthe bonding campaign may come to a halt. One hundred bond enthusiasts are expected to be present from Santa Ana and other points in the county, and Fullerton is expected to be well represented. The chamber of commerce suggests that Anaheim make a good showing at the meeting. Secretary Ross read the following letter from a Japanese promotion committee of Los Angeles: Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 8, '09. Chamber of Commerce of Anaheim Anaheim, Cal.

Mr. Morton had an honorable war record. He was a member of Company B, 41st Ohio infantry, during the civil war. He enlisted at the age of 19 August 20, 1861, for a term of three years. He was mustered out at expiration of term of service, September 8, 1864. The regiment participated at the fights at Shiloh, Stone River, Chicamauga, Missionary Ridge and was one hundred days under fire in the Atlanta campaign. In a history of the regiment, published in 1897, are many stirring accounts of its fights in many of the decisive battles of the war between the states. In the defeat of the Confederates at Chattanooga in which the regiment took an active part, occurs the following passages: The morning of the 15th of December, 1864, broke fair, but the weather had been damp and cold, and the ground was covered with a film of ice in many localities. By the preparations of the night before, it was expected to be the day of battle. The Forty-first was deployed as skirmishers and sent against the enemy's line about a brick house to the right of the Granny White pike. This line was well entrenched, with artillery, and behind it was a second line, also entrenched. The Forty-first was deployed behind a stone wall, beyond which, up to the enemy's line, the ground was open. The regiment went over the icy ground at a run, encountering brisk fire, but unchecked. The line of works was carried with a rush, and two pieces of artillery and some prisoners fell into our hands. Beyond the brick house, the confed- While this severe and protracted fight was going on at Overton Knob an advance and attack was ordered on the extreme right of the army. It was supposed that this would be favored by the concentration of the enemy on the Knob. However, that may have been, the attack on the right succeeded and instantly the backward movement was taken up along the whole confederate line. The troops in the works at the Knob were seen to be moving, and a second advance was ordered. Two of the Forty-first men who had penetrated the abattis in the first advance had been left there when the regiment fell back were Sergeant Garrett of G company and Private Holcomb of A. These men, lying within twenty yards of the works, were first to know of the confederate retreat; not waiting for the coming up of the new advance, they mounted the works. Some prisoners, four pieces of artillery and two battle flags fell into their hands. This artillery was afterward marked with the name of the Forty-first, by order of the chief of artillery of the army, and Gen. Thomas sent Garrett and Holcomb to Washington with their respectfully, Japanese Association of Los Angeles. Per K. Inahara, Secretary.

The need of a vegetable packing-house was discussed, but nothing definite was done. A vote of thanks was extended T. S. Armstrong and Wm. Wallace for success achieved in advertising Anaheim at Carnival of Products. The sewer committee reported nothing new. A letter was received this week by the chamber of commerce from C. F. Jones, Auckland, New Zealand, for information regarding Anaheim and vicinity. He intends to come to California to locate. captured flags. When the confederates turned their backs on Overton Knob, a decisive battle was over, for one of the combatants was never again to appear in the field. Hood's army was destroyed as a factor in the war of the rebellion. This was the last battle of the Forty-first, as it was the last in all the region it had traversed back and forth since 1862.

Address of Welcome by Mrs. J. L. Beebe and Musical Program—Chas. Eygabroad Makes Statement of the Work Planned for Ensuing Year—Horticultural Commissioner Plum The reception given on Friday even­ing by the Women's Auxiliary of the Y.M.C.A. was pronounced by all present to be a splendid success. The parlors were filled—not alone with guests—but with a spirit of hearty response to all that contributed to their entertainment: The rooms throughout were render­ed most attractive by an artistic arra­ngement of scarlet geraniums, green foliage and softly shaded lights, while the handsome Kimball piano recently purchased by the Y.M.C.A. was the crowning feature. After an address of welcome by Mrs. J. L. Beebe, president of the Women's Auxiliary, a delightful mus­ical program was rendered as follows: Piano selections by Mrs. G. H. Goodale and Herbert Hansen; vocal, by Miss Edna Ames and F. P. Jayne; violin, Miss Helena Goodale, and a whistling solo by Mrs. Wm. McFar­lane accompanied by Mrs. Johnston. AFTER THE LITTLE FELLOWS Valley Irrigators After Water Grabbers Up the River The Anaheim Union and Santa Ana valley irrigating companies having chased the Riverside water company out of the lower basin in the up-river water controversy, and having put Mr. Fuller in bad, are proceeding against a bevy of tiny appropriators, who are charged with taking water without authority from the river. The effect of shooing Riverside further up the river is tantamount to putting it into a lawsuit with San Bernardino. One of the defendants is the Sierra water company of Corona, which owns land non-riparian to the river and is preparing to pump water from the river in defiance of the rights of the lower irrigators. There are other small offenders doing the same thing, and all will be stopped. The state supreme court has passed upon these points in several cases, and no doubt is entertained of the final outcome of the suits. The two local water companies have instructed their lawyers to begin suits immediately against these up-river appropriators. The suits are considered easy, as they involve the same points of law as in the Fuller and Riverside water company cases. In the Fuller case the valley companies won, and Riverside came down with a compromise admitting all the contents Anaheim and Santa Ana were contending for. LESTER MAKES TAX REPORT Over Half Million Dollars to Be Collected in Orange County County Auditor Lester has finished the computation of taxes for the current year and finds that over half a million dollars will be placed on the assessment roll for collection. The exact amount is $513,619.75, which is made up by the following items: State and county taxes—$314,375.25 Special school taxes—$160,947.45 Fullerton city taxes—$18,959.22 Talbert drainage district—$13,771.84 Delhi drainage district—$4361.55 Newbert protection district—$1,204.44 After an address of welcome by Mrs. J. L. Beebe, president of the Women's Auxiliary, a delightful musical program was rendered as follows: Piano selections by Mrs. G. H. Goodale and Herbert Hansen; vocal, by Miss Edna Ames and F. P. Jayne; violin, Miss Helena Goodale, and a whistling solo by Mrs. Wm. McFarlane, accompanied by Mrs. Johnston. The chairman then introduced the president of the Y.M.C.A., Charles Eygabroad, who gave a statement of work planned for the ensuing year. Later this statement will be made public. All who listened to Mr. Eygabroad's brief but forceful remarks feel assured of the success of the Y.M.C.A. under his leadership. Wm. H. Wallace of Long Beach was the next speaker. Mr. Wallace needed no introduction, as he is well known not only throughout this state as a power in Y.M.C.A. work but in several other states. The principles he upholds he has applied to his own life, with a result which ought to answer the question, "Does it pay in business?" Mr. Wallace was followed by S. Warren Douglas, county secretary, who spoke briefly, in order to leave more time for the address by the state secretary, T. J. Wilkie, of San Pedro. Mr. Douglas gave an outline of the splendid work that has been done by the veteran in Y.M.C.A. work, and then Mr. Wilkie was introduced. He spoke as only the wholly consecrated can speak, and surely if ever God's truth was carried home to the hearts of men it was on this occasion. Truly, it had been a rare feast, but more was to follow out of doors, where refreshments were served under an arbor festooned with green boughs and Japanese lanterns. Here the program was resumed, when Mr. Wallace, responding to an urgent request from those who know his rare ability as a reader, gave several selections that called forth veritable shouts of applause.
