Article says: "DONNER PARTY DESCENDANT BURIED. Alameda. April 19. - Funeral services were held here today from the Smiley and Gallagher Chapel for Elisha Harlan, who was born in San Francisco in 1850 after his father and mother crossed the plains with the Donner party [sic]. Harlan, 88, died at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Habel H. Davidson, 2149 Santa Clara Avenue, Sunday night. [April 17]. He was the son of Joel Harlan and Minerva June [sic] Fowler and the grandson of George Harlan, who led a train of 80 covered wagons from Independence, Mo., in 1845 [sic]. En route the Harlan train joined the Donner party [sic] but separated at Truckee Canyon after a dispute over the best trail over the fountains. [sic] The Harlan train took the northern route and reached California safely. The Donner party perished. Mrs. Davidson is the only immediate survivor of Elisha Harlan. Following the funeral services in Alameda, burial took place in Dublin." END AND Obituary in the San Francisco Chronicle, Tuesday, April 19, 1938. 5:5. "OLDEST NATIVE S.F. MAN DEAD. Elisha Harlan, 88, who claimed to be the oldest living native of San Francisco - born here in 1850, after his father [Joel Harlan] had narrowly escaped the fate of the Donner party - died yesterday. Surviving him is a daughter, Mrs. Mable Davidson, 2149 Santa Clara avenue, Alameda, with whom he had lived in recent years and where he died. His father, Joel Harlan, and his grandfather, George, left Independence, Mo., in 1845 [sic], bound for Caligornia [sic]. En route their train of 60 wagons met the Donner party and accompanied them to the Truckee canyon, where a dispute arose over the route, and the parties divided, the Donner group going on to its historic fate. Shortly after arrival in San Francisco, Joel Harlan married Minerva June [sic] Fowler, who had been a member of the immigrant train. Elisha was born in 1850. The family early bought a 2000-acre ranch in Contra Costa county, part of the Amador grant, and El Nido rancho in part remains in the family. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. today at the Smiley & Gallagher chapel, 415 Oak street, Alameda."
