“OBITUARY. Mrs. Fidelia Meek, relict of William Meek, died at the family 
residence in San Lorenzo on Sunday night [August 30]. She came from Michigan 
across the plains to Oregon in 1853, and in 1859 with her husband settled at 
San Lorenzo, where both died. The farm originally comprised 400 acres, but 
additions were made from time to time until it contains now nearly 2000 acres, 
almost all under cultivation. She left surviving four children, of whom Harry 
W. Meek is the oldest. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon 
[September 2]. Mrs. Meek has been known by her liberality. She was a life 
member of the Ladies' Relief Society, and recently, gave $6000 to the 
California College (Baptist) at Highland Park, and not very long ago $3000 to 
found a "William Meek Scholarship" at Mills College. Mrs. Meek left no will, 
but deeded her estate to her four children prior to her death. Her one-half of 
the estate is valued at $500,000.” END
