The Daily Courier (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 4, Col. 3 Thu., Jan. 10, 1889 Item from: SHORT LOCALS Mrs. Charles Mecham yesterday had the misfortune to run a sewing machine needle through her finger, making a very painful wound. In the 1900 U. S. census, 37 yr. old Eliza Mecham, b. May 1863 in CA., was living at 1196 E St. in San Bernardino Ward 4, San Bernardino county, CA. with her 43 yr. old husband, Charles Mecham, a Laborer, b. Dec. 1856 in CA. 12 yr. old daughter, Lillian Mecham, attending school, b. Dec. 1887 in CA. Charles & Eliza had been marr. for 14 years. Eliza was the mother of 2 children, only one still alive by this census. Charles' father was b. in NY. and his mother in IN. Eliza's parents were both b. in IL. Charles had been unemployed for 10 months. The Weekly Sun (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 2, last column Fri., May 9, 1902 A crazy man jumped through a window at Charles Mecham's home at Base Line and E street at an early hour this morning and before he was finally subdued he succeeded in giving two mighty policemen a tussle such as only a mad man can give. Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning Policemen Poppett and Wixom were notified that a crazy man was walking on D street between Tenth street and Base Line, The police immediately started up D street. They reached Base Line without seeing anything of the man. Just as they were considering the advisability of returning to the city, they heard a woman's scream coming from the direction of E street. When they arrived at E street they saw Mrs. Charles Mecham talking to a man at the front door of her house. Mrs. Mecham was noticeably nervous, while the man was jabbering away in an insane manner. When he saw the policemen he grabbed two flower pots and hurled them at the officers. One went wild of its mark, but the other struck Policeman Wixom on the ankle, but it was not thrown with enough force to do any damage. The crazy man then made a sudden jump through a window and he landed in the front room. The police rushed to the back of the house and entered the room where the man was, just as Mr. Mecham grappled with him. The fight that ensued was worthy of a better cause. The mad man bit, kicked, spit and did everything in his power to gain his liberty, and it was nearly half an hour before the officers succeeded in securing control of him. His hands and legs were tightly bound and the officers then telephoned for a wagon. The man was taken to the County Hospital, where he will be held pending an examination for insanity. Who the crazy man is, is not known but he is believed to be Frank Shepherd, who escaped from Riverside while out on parole from the Southern California State Hospital for the insane at Highland several weeks ago. The man answers Shepherd's description, but there was nothing upon his person by which he might be identified. The Weekly Sun (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 7, last column Fri., May 9, 1902 HE IS NOT PARTICULAR The insane man who created a rumpus at Charles Mecham's home Friday night was calmer yesterday, and the County Hospital authorities endeavored to find out something about him. When asked what his name was he replied, "Oh, call me Ed Beck, Brown or anything you like," and then he started mumbling some jargon that sounded like a mixture of Chinese and Russian, with a little Italian and French thrown in for spice. He will be examined for insanity Monday. San Bernardino Daily Sun (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 5, Col. 3 Tue., Jun. 2, 1908 MRS. ELIZA A. MEACHAM Death at an early hour Sunday morning claimed Mrs. Eliza Ann Mecham, wife of Charles Mecham, at the family home at Base Line and E streets, her age being 45 years. Mrs. Mecham's death was sudden, she having been taken down with pneumonia but a week previous. Though all possible to relieve her of the fatal disease was done, it was unavailing and death relieved her of her sufferings, surrounded by the members of her family at the end, she realizing that her time had come. Mrs. Mecham was a native of San Bernardino, being a daughter of one of the respected pioneer families, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Wixom. She leaves a very large circle of warm friends to mourn her death, as she was beloved by all who knew her. Her husband and one daughter, Miss Lillian Mecham, survive her, beside a large number of other relatives in the city and valley. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, at 2 o'clock from the family home, E and Base Line streets, Rev. A. G. Fessenden of the First Presbyterian church officiating. San Bernardino Daily Sun (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 5, Col. 2 Wed., Jun. 3, 1908 FUNERAL SERVICES Mrs. Charles Mecham There was a very large gathering of friends yesterday at the home of Charles mecum at Base Line and E streets, for the funeral services for Mrs. Mecham, whose death occurred Sunday morning. A great number of floral remembrances surrounded the casket, each a silent tribute of love from a friend both near and dear. Rev. A. G. Fessenden, of the First Presbyterian church, officiated, and hymns were sung by a choir composed of Mrs. O. A. Krebs, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Williams, Mr. Marshall and Miss Julia Myers. The ladies of the Women of Woodcraft, of which the deceased had been a member, attended the service in a body and conducted the ritualistic service of the order at the grave in a beautiful manner.
