Publication Unknown, March 1888

Died—In Mokelumne Hill, California, on Tuesday, March 13th, 1888, Hiram B. 
Disbrow, aged 59 years.  Mr. Disbrow was a brother of Wm. Disbrow, of this 
village, and at one time a resident of the place.  By request we publish the 
following from the Calaveras (California) Chronicle:

With the death of Mr. Disbrow another of our pioneers passed to “that bourne 
from whence no traveler returns.”  Deceased came hence in 1850, where he has 
been a continuous resident up to the time of his death.  Like nearly every 
other comer at that early period, he engaged in mining, but followed the 
occupation only a very short time when he engaged in the brewing business in 
company with Andrew Taft, and for many years the firm of Taft & Disbrow 
conducted a lucrative business.  A little over a year ago he came to the 
terrible realization that he was afflicted with a cancer of the mouth, whose 
horrible ravages, after causing untold mental as well as physical suffering, 
carried him to the grave.  Mr. Disbrow was a good man in every sense of the 
word, kind-hearted and generous, and until misfortune visited him, was one of 
our most active and prominent citizens.  He leaves a wife and family of three 
grown children.  The funeral took place Thursday and was a very large one, 
attesting the respect in which deceased was held in the community of which he 
was one of the pioneers.
