San Francisco Chronicle, January 6, 1904 
"DEATH CALLS DEPUTY COLLECTOR'S MOTHER.  Mrs. Eliza M. Farley died yesterday at 
the residence of her son, Newton S. Farley, in Oakland, the immediate cause of 
death being blood poisoning in the foot, contracted about two months ago.

Mrs. Farley was born in Ohio, February 14, 1822, and when a young child removed 
to Southwestern (now Berrien county) Michigan, where her father, Major Timothy 
S. Smith was commissioned deputy governor by Lewis Cass, then Governor of the 
Territory of Michigan.  Here she saw much of frontier life and learned many 
traits and much of the language of the Indians.  Here she married Ebenizer 
Farley in 1840 and in 1854 the family removed to California, coming across the 
plains by ox teams, and settled in Alvarado, Alameda county, where the family 
resided until a few years after the death of Mr. Farley, in 1879.  Since then 
Mrs. Farley has resided in Gilroy, Monterey, Los Gatos and Oakland.

She was the mother of the late Eben Farley of Los Gatos, James H. Farley of 
Hanford, Newton S. Farley of Oakland, Mrs. Ella Emlay of Pacific Grove, Mrs. 
Mary E. Fowler of Los Gatos and Mrs. Emma F. Baker, deceased.  She has many 
relatives in various parts of the State."
