"B. K. Sweetland, Pioneer, Passes

Byron K. Sweetland, a pioneer of the Lemoore community, passed away at the home 
of his sister, Mrs. Orrie Wonder, in Pasadena, Friday, March 15.  His death 
followed an illness of about a week's duration.  He was 81 years of age.

Deceased came to the Lemoore locality in 1874, and for many years was 
identified with the settlement and upbuilding of that community.  For 22 years 
he was a member of the firm of Fox & Sweetland, the principal merchandising 
firm of Lemoore at that time.  More than ten years ago he disposed of his 
interests to William Scally and retired from active business life.

His wife [Laura], who died many years ago, was the daughter of Dr. Lee Moore, 
another pioneer, for whom the city of Lemoore was named.

In addition to the sister in Pasadena, he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. 
Julius Boysen of Yosemite Valley, and Mrs. Nat[haniel] G[reene] Guiberson, of 
Dallas, Texas.

The remains of the pioneer will be shipped to the Phipps Mortuary at Lemoore, 
where the funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon [March 19] at 2 o'clock.  
Cremation will follow.

The obsequies will be in charge of Welcome Lodge, No. 255, F. and A. M. of 
Lemoore, of which the deceased was a member." END
