San Diego Union; March 9, 1871
Capt. George A. Pendleton, County Clerk of San Diego county, died at his 
residence in Old San Diego, after a protracted and painful illness, on Friday 
night, March 3rd. Capt. Pendleton was born in Bowling Green, Caroline county, 
Virginia, in the year 1823. He landed in California on the 5th day of March 
1847, as First Lieutenant of Company D , Stevenson's Regiment of California 
Volunteers. When his Regiment was disbanded, he went to Tuolumne county, where 
he engaged in mercantile business. In 1849 he represented the San Joaquin 
District in the Constitutional Convention. Hew came to San Diego in 1855, and 
continued to reside to the day of his death, For the past thirteen years he has 
filled the office of County Clerk without Interruption. Capt. Pendleton was a 
man of warm heart, and generous impulses, and his life was guided by a high 
sence of honor. His death will be lamented by a very wide circle of friends in 
California and the Eastern States. The writer has known him from boyhood. He 
had his faults - as who has not - but he was incapable of a mean or 
dishonorable action; his errors were of the head and not of the heart; and now 
that he has passed away, his many noble qualities will be affectionaly 
cherished by those who knew him best.
