San Bernardino Daily Sun (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 13, Col. 7 Sun., Aug. 20, 1939 F. L. Holcomb, Prominent in City Life, Dies Francis Leroy Holcomb, life-long resident of San Bernardino who played a prominent role in the city’s development for more than a half century, died suddenly last night at the ranch of a son in Helendale. He was 76 years old. Serving as sheriff of San Bernardino county before the turn of the century, Mr. Holcomb had held several county offices. He was the father of Howard L. Holcomb, city councilman. BORN IN CITY During the incumbency of his father, the late William F. Holcomb, he served as deputy county clerk and had also held a position in the office of the county recorder. He was the oldest living past master of the Phoenix lodge of masons, having held the post of master in 1904. Several years ago he retired from active ranch work, a pursuit he had followed since his youth. With his brother, Will, he once also operated a lumber and feed business in San Bernardino. Mr. Holcomb was born in San Bernardino in 1863. Surviving are his widow, Leila; three sons, Howard, of san Bernardino, and Scott and Sommers, of Helendale; three daughters, Mrs. Avis Graham and Mrs. Mabel Miller, of san Bernardino, and Mrs. Frances Baird, of Colton; two sisters, Mrs. Minnie Swarthout, of San Bernardino, and Mrs. James Robinson, of Downey; six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He was the uncle of Grant Holcomb, attorney and county Republican leader. FATHER STRUCK GOLD The Holcomb residence is at 279 Eleventh street. Funeral arrangements, in charge of Stephens & Bobbitt mortuary, have not been completed. William F. Holcomb, father of Francis Leroy, was attracted to California from Iowa by the gold excitement of 1850. Prospecting for gold in Bear valley, he struck the first “pay dirt” in the San Bernardino mountains. A major rush followed the discovery and a flourishing settlement sprung into being. He also had the distinction of locating the first claims in Holcomb valley, five miles beyond Bear valley, staking out land with Ben Ware in 1860.
