THE END HAS COME TO COL. J. BANBURY
 
Jabez Banbury, known to all old settlers as "Colonel" Banbury, died at his home 
on South Marengo avenue last night.
 
Colonel Banbury was one of the old residents of the City and because of his 
integrity and ability was often called upon to fill positions of honor and 
trust.  He was once assemblyman from this district, once city treasurer and 
twice treasurer of the county.
 
Colonel Banbury was 70 years of age, and had been in poor health for several 
years.  He lives, among other relatives, a widow and two daughters, Mrs. Dr. 
Crank of Pomona and Mrs. William E. Ford, of this city.  Born in England, 
Colonel Banbury came to this country when but 12 years old; in 1854, he went to 
Marshalltown, Iowa.  He entered the army at the outbreak of the civil war as a 
first lieutenant in the Fifth Iowa infantry, and after four years of gallant 
service was mustered out as colonel of the regiment.  He came to Pasadena in 
the early seventies, and until a few years ago has been closely identified with 
the city's affairs.  For several years he was associated with M. E. Wood in the 
real estate business, under the firm name of Wood & Banbury.
 
The funeral will be held at the family residence on Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 
o'clock.  Rev. Conner will preach.  The G.A.R. and Knights Templar will send 
escorts and the former will have their ritualistic service at the house.  The 
Masons will have charge at the grave.

Masonic Funeral
 
Members of Pasadena Lodge, No. 272, F.&.A.M., will meet at Masonic Temple, 
Tuesday, December 11th, at 12:30 to attend the funeral of our late brother, 
Jabez Banbury.  The members of Corona Lodge and will visiting Masons are 
invited to attend.
 
By order of C. W. Buchanan, W. M.
R. Williams, secy.
