The Weekly Sun (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 7, Col. 4 Fri., Jan. 24, 1902 FOR FIFTY YEARS A RESIDENT Death of Mrs. L. Mecham - The Bereaved Husband Also Very Ill. Mrs. Letitia Mecham, wife of Lafayette Mecham of this city, died, after a prolonged illness at her home, 531 Tenth street at 4:20 p.m. yesterday. The deceased was born in Illinois in 1831 and came to California in 1854, arriving in San Bernardino June 1, of that year. The immediate cause of her death was the result of a shock sustained last Monday evening. She had started to the home of her sister, Mrs. Benson, her people not knowing that she had not reached her destination till two hours later, when she was found in an unconscious condition on the sidewalk, half a block from her home. She was lifted and carried to her room where she remained until death came. She leaves a husband, Lafayette Mecham, six sons - Edwin, Frank, Charles, Ransom, Stephen and Isaac; one sister, Mrs. Benson and a brother, Isaac Yager. The funeral will take place from the late residence, No. 531 Tenth street, at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. A particularly sad feature of the case if the fact that the bereaved husband is so ill that it was feared the shock of knowing that his wife was dead would also prove fatal to him, but it is possible he may survive.
