Gilroy Advocat, Aug 4 1923
OLD SETTLER PASSES ON

In the death of John Eustice, which occurred Wednesday morning at the home of
his son Steve Eustice in Rucker, one of Gilroy's early settlers has crossed the
great divide.  Mr. Eustice was born in British Hollow, Grant County, Wisconsin,
and was aged 75 years, 7 months and 25 days.  He came to Gilroy in 19872, and
engaged in the wheelright business with his brother George Eustice, now
deceased, who owned a blacksmith shop at Sixth and Eiglebery streets for a
number of years.  Mr. Eustice lived here until about twenty years ago, when he
moved to San Mateo.  He returned to Gilroy about six years ago, and has resided
most of the time with his son Steve at Rucker.  Mr. Eustice was a quiet genial
gentleman.  He was married to Mrs. Anna Babb, who died six years ago, and the
following children were the fruit of this union:  Henry of Turlock, Steve of
Gilroy, Mrs. Bertha Miller of Mountain View and Will of San Mateo.  Jas. T. Babb
of Morgan Hill is a step-son.  There are also two brothers and one sister,
namely Wm. Eustice of Los Banos, Steve Eustice of Davenport, Iowa, and Mrs. Kate
Fox of Kansas.  The immediate cause of  his death was a stroke of apoplexy about
a week ago.  Mr. Eustice had followed the carpenter trade of late years.  At one
time he was a member of the Gilroy Fire Department and was also a member of the
Christian Church.  Funeral services were held at Barshinger's mortuary chapel on
Friday morning.  The services were in charge of Dr. McClellan.  Interment was in
the family plot in the Masons & Odd Fellows cemetery.
