Death of Mrs. Randolph

Mrs. Keziah Randolph, mother of Mrs. C. L. Knight, of this place, died at her home at Point Arena last Friday and was buried Sunday afternoon, Rev. D. Munro officiating.

Keziah Ewing was born at Alexandria, Ohio, Feb. 18, 1827, hence was 80 years old at the time of her death. She was married Jan 1, 1845, to S. W. Randolph and of this union 9 children were born, of which four daughters survive her. In 1861 she and her husband left the East, coming to California, and in 1864 they settled at Point Arena, wherewhere Mr. Randolph died in 1888.

Three of her daughters were with Mrs. Randolph during her last illness, the fourth, Mrs. Knight, arrived at her mother's bedside just after her death.
