"RITES SET FOR PIONEER'S KIN

Mrs. Mary Harlan Llewellyn, 79, member of a prominent pioneer Bay Region 
family, will receive final rites Tuesday afternoon [January 21].

Born at San Ramon [in Contra Costa county] and a resident of the Eastbay for 
more than a quarter century, Mrs. Llewellyn died Thursday night [January 16] at 
her home at 3900 Harrison Street [in Oakland] following a brief illness.

She was the daughter of Joel Harlan, who came across the plains in 1846 and 
built the first frame ranch house in the San Ramon Valley.  The ranch on which 
she was born served as the boundary line between Contra Costa and Alameda 
Counties when this county [Alameda] was formed.

Educated at the old Livermore Academy, Mrs. Llewellyn was a well known artist 
in her early years and was noted as an instructor in painting.

Surviving are two brothers, Elisha [C.] Harlan, of Alameda, and Fred Harlan, of 
Pitisburg [sic]; a grand-daughter, Laura Lorraine Llewellyn, of San Francisco, 
and three nieces, Mrs. Mabel Davidson of Alameda, Mrs. Carmen Gelderman, of San 
Ramon, and Helen Hazel Llewellyn, of San Francisco.  She was the widow of W. A. 
Llewellyn and the mother of the late Lorin L. Llewellyn, Oakland engineer, who 
died last July [26].

Services under the direction of Grant D. Miller will be held Tuesday afternoon 
at the Chapel of the Chimes, and cremation will follow." END
