“Death of John Rea, Resident of Gilroy
Gilroy, Dec 1. – John Rea, who passed away in this city Saturday morning, was a 
native of Switzerland and died at the age of 55 years.  He had resided in Gilroy 
for many years and for some time had been engaged as a distiller, his place of 
business being upon Seventh street.  At one time he was possessed of 
considerable property but lost the greater part of it in the San Francisco 
earthquake and fire, since which time he had become much dispirited.  He was 
married in this city May 11, 1889 to Miss Katie Berri and died leaving 5 
children, tow daughters, Lily and Virginia and three sons, John, Fred and Rockie 
Rea, all of whom are residents of this city.  He also leaves an aged mother in 
his native country from whom he had such affection and of whom he was wont to 
speak often in tones of endearment.  He was a fond husband, an indulgent parent 
and a man possessed of a tender heart and sincere esteem for his friends.”
