Frank D. Ryan, Sacramento Parlor No. 3.

On February 9, 1908, Past Grand President Frank D. Ryan was suddenly called by death. Brother Ryan joined Sacramento Parlor No. 3 on March 11^th, 1879, and was a Past President of that Parlor.

Brother Ryan was elected Grand President of the Native Sons of the Golden West in 1889. He never ceased to take an active interest and the Order at large and never failed to attend a session of the Grand Parlor, and by his counsel and ability as a debater did much toward shaping the legislation of that Body.

Brother Ryan was born at the City of Sacramento on the eleventh day of May, 1859. He attended the public schools there, completing his education at St. Mary’s College in San Francisco, then began the study of law in his native city, was admitted to practice in 1880, and occupied a prominent position in the legal fraternity.

Brother Ryan was also a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Young Man’s Institute, and Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

In public life Brother Ryan was always prominent. He was elected to the Assembly in 1882; served as Clerk of the Assembly; was District Attorney of Sacramento County; served as Trustee of the State Library; Trustee of the Chico Normal Schools; Trustee of Sutter’s Fort; and Commissioner of Public Works. He became a member of the National Guard in 1880, and after fifteen years of service was retired with the rank of major.

Brother Ryan left surviving him a widow, a son, Frank D. Ryan, of Sacramento Parlor No. 3, three daughters, Estelle, Ruth and Irene; his mother, Mrs. John C. Ryan, two brothers, Henry and Leonard Ryan, both members of the Native Sons, and five sisters, viz.: Rose, Agnes and Blanche Ryan and Mrs. Mary Harney and Mrs. James Strachan.

Richard Church Rust, Excelsior Parlor No. 31.

Was born in the pioneer town of Marysville, Yuba County, California, on May 19^th day of October, 1855, and died at Jackson, Amador County, on the 25^th day of November, 1908.

With father and mother both born in Vermont, he came of that pure New England stock which has given us some of the strongest and best intellects of the nation. His parents were pioneers of 1849, his father been an early alcalde of San Diego, and a veneration for the pioneers was inspiration of many an eloquent tribute from his lips to the memory of the empire-builders of our commonwealth.

Beginning life at a lower rung of the industrial ladder, he climbed upward in an honorable career. Determined and indefatigable, he took up to the study of the law; was admitted to the bar on Nov. 10, 1879; practiced as a lawyer in San Francisco till 1883, when he went to Jackson and entered into a partnership with Hon. A. Caminetti; was elected District Attorney in 1890 and re-elected in 1892; was elected Judge of the Superior Court in 1894 and re-elected in 1896, 1902, and 1908, being elected without opposition in 1894 and 1896, and, though himself a Democrat, being the nominee of both the great political parties in 1908. His career of upon the bench had been conducted on a plane so high that he became the choice of the people of Amador County for the position, without regard to party, and in all his incumbency as a Judge so accurate were his rulings that no decision of his was ever reversed by an Appellate Court.

In fraternal association Judge Rust’s best years were given to the Native Sons. While in his later life he became a Mason, and Past Master of Amador Lodge, F. & A. M., of Jackson, he was through all his younger manhood an active, retiring, enthusiastic Native Son. Many times he passed through the chairs of Excelsior Parlor No. 31, of which he was Charter President, his constant theme being devotion to the ritual. He was a member of the Grand Parlor from 17^th to 28^th sessions, inclusive, and became Grand President of the Order at the Oroville session, in 1900. His splendid work whether as a missionary to Subordinate Parlors throughout the State, found some, rehabilitating others, encouraging and inspiring all, and his peerless counsel upon the floor of the Grand Parlor itself are emblazoned on the records of the Order.

Shortly after settling in Jackson, on November 30, 1887, he was married in San Francisco to Elizabeth Hosner, of that city, and two children, Richard Whitney and Helen, are the result of the union.

Stricken down in the prime of his manhood he did not know until three hours before his death that the summons had come. Conscious to the very last, surrounded by his loved ones, he faced the end with a sublime resignation and a sublime courage.

He was an upright judge, a loving husband and father, a true friend, a good citizen, a brave Christian, a noble man.
_______________________

The following is an excerpt from the "Grizzly Bear" magazine:

Richard Church Rust, Superior Judge of Amador County and Grand President of the Order of Native Sons of the Golden West during the year 1900-1901, passed to the Grand Parlor on High, Wednesday, November 27, at his home in Jackson, surrounded by his family and conscious of his passing to the Great Beyond.

Deceased was one of the most popular members of the State Order and have the love, respect and admiration of its entire membership. His voice was always heard in defense of the right and advocated all those things that tended to the uplifting of the membership, as through this he foresaw the betterment of the State. Judge Rust was ever a friend of the Pioneers, and his most eloquent addresses in the Grand Parlor were those advocating the preservation of early California history and in arousing interest in the welfare of the rapidly departing Argonaut band.

Judge Rust was an honored an active member of the Excelsior Parlor, No. 31, N. S. G. W., of Jackson, as well as a Past Master of Amador Lodge, F. and A. M., of the same city. He was elected to the office of Grand President of the Native Sons of the Golden West at the Oroville Session in 1900, and fulfilled his official duties in a way that not only won him the admiration of the membership, but also raised the public estimation of the Order. He stood for everything good and noble, and was an open and bitter enemy of all things that worked for the degradation of mankind.

Richard Church Rust was born near Marysville, Yuba County, fifty-two years ago. There he started as a teamster in his early manhood, afterwards taking about the study of law in San Francisco. Becoming proficient in his chosen profession, he removed to Amador County in 1883. In 1890 he was elected district attorney of that county, in which he office he served two two-year terms. In 1894 he was elected to the superior bench, which he occupied with credit to himself and to the eminent satisfaction of the people to the very hour of his death. Although a consistent democrat, Judge Rust knew no party or friend in his judicial rulings. As a high tribute to fourteen years of efficient administration of justice, he was recently renominated by both the democrats and republicans and was the unanimous choice of the people to occupy the bench for another six years, but death has intercepted him on the threshold of another term. Shortly after he located in Amador County he was married in San Francisco to Elizabeth Hosmer, who with their children, Helen and Whitney, are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father. His aged mother, 93 years of age, also survives, as does a brother, Edwin Rust.

Funeral services were conducted at Jackson by both the Native Sons and Masonic Orders, and were attended by large delegations from both organizations, as well as by the Native Daughters and Eastern Stars. At the close of the services the remains were taken by relatives to San Francisco for cremation, accompanied by the following special escort: Hon. A. Caminetti and L. J. Glavinovich from Excelsior Parlor, N. S. G. W., Jackson; E.C. Voorheis, C. E. Jarvis, Frank Johnston and Frank Coracco, from Amador Parlor, N. S. G. W., Sutter Creek; District Attorney Vicini and Hon. D. B. Spagnoli, from the Amador County Bar Association; W. F. Detert and R. I. Kerr, from the Masons; Supervisor Strohm and Superintendent Grennhalgh, from the county officers; Miss Loretta Meehan, from the Native Daughters of Jackson. A large delegation of Native Sons accompanied the remains to the depot at Martell.

On arrival at the Oakland Mole, the funeral party was met by Grand President C. M. Belshaw of the Native Sons, Frank J. Solinsky and other friends of the late judge from Oakland. On the San Francisco side the remains were met by Grand Secretary Charles H. Turner and President Past Grand President George D. Clark, of the Native Sons.

The casket was taken to the home of Frank Rolph, brother-in-law of the deceased, where the last sad rites were said, according to the ritual of the Episcopal Church, of which deceased was a member, the Rev. Benson officiating. An unusually large number of beautiful floral offerings attested the high esteem in which the deceased jurist was held. The religious ceremonies were later concluded in the chapel of the crematory, after which the casket was lowered and the earthly remains of Judge Rust were reduced to ashes.

The pallbearers were: Justice Angellotti, of the Supreme Court; Grand President C. M. Belshaw, Past Grand President J. H. Grady of Marysville, Past Grand President M. T. Dooley of Hollister, representing the Native Sons; District Attorney C. P. Vicini of Amador County, John Raggio of Stockton. The honorary pallbearers were Past Presidents C. H. Decker and Lewis Byington, of the Native Sons; Hon. C. H. Lindley, formally of Amador County; Ex Consul, Hon. D. B. Spagnoli, E. B. Young, and W. F. Detert.

Thus passed from his earthly home an able jurist, a learned and just judge, a good citizen, honored, respected and esteemed by all.

In Memoriam
Grand Trustee Nathan P. Bundy

Shortly after the Admission Day Celebration of last year in San Francisco, the membership of our Order throughout the State was shocked and grieved by the sad tidings of the unexpected death of Grand Trustee Nathan P. Bundy. Brother Bundy was born and Los Angeles County on Admission Day in 1870. He was educated in public schools of his native county and entering the legal profession and gave promise of a useful career in his chosen profession when the hand of death closed his work ere it would hardly well begun. He became a member of the Order on July 24, 1906, being a charter member of Sierra Madre Parlor No. 235. His interest and fidelity to the Order, as well as his sterling worth and ability, were immediately recognized. He was sent as a delegated to the Grand Parlor at Yosemite in 1908, and returned again to Marysville in 1909, where he was elected Grand Trustee. He was re-elected at Tahoe and a useful and brilliant career was anticipated for him in the Order. He had been happily married for a period of less than a month at the time of his death, and besides a loving wife he left to mourn his untimely death, a father, mother, three brothers and his sister.

Whereas, Grand Trustee Bundy was a kind and loving husband, a good and exemplary citizen, as well as an earnest and faithful member and a devoted and efficient Grand Officer of our Order; and

Whereas, In the death of Grand Trustee Bundy the State of California has lost the goods citizen and the Order of the Native Sons of the Golden West has been deprived of the wise counsel and zealous efforts of a useful member and the Grand Officer; therefore, be it

Resolved, That while we humbly bowed to the will of the Almighty, we deeply deplore the loss of our Brother, that to his young wife upon whom this afflicting dispensation fell most heavily, we extend our sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy; and be it further

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Grand Parlor and that a copy thereof, under seal of the Grand Parlor, be sent to the widow of our deceased Brother.

Honored Dead
Grand Trustee Nathan P. Bundy

Nathan P. Bundy first saw the light of day at Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, on Admission Day, Sept. 9th, 1879, and was overtaken by death at San Francisco, October 7th, 1910.

He became affiliated with the Order, as a charter member of Sierra Madre Parlor at Los Angeles in 1906; he immediately took an active interest in the Order, and became a Past President of the Parlor; during the years 1907 and 1908, he was District Deputy Grand President for Los Angeles County, and as such instituted two Parlors; at the Grand Parlor session in Marysville, 1909, he was elected a Grand Trustee, and re-elected at the Grand Parlor session at Lake Tahoe, 1910, being a member of the Board of Grand Trustees at the time of his demise.

Nathan Bundy was a hustler, in every sense of the word, and early in his life his ambition was to become an attorney at law. Although many attempts were made to discourage him from entering the legal profession, he could not be dissuaded, and through his own untiring efforts he eventually was admitted to the bar. Through his dogged determination, perfect frankness and unimpeachable integrity, he soon became recognized as one of the most successful young lawyers in Southern California, and just prior to his death he was tendered and accepted a responsible position in the legal department of one of the State's largest corporations, which took him to San Francisco to reside and away from his field to activity in the Order.

With the passing of Nathan Bundy the Order lost one of its most enthusiastic workers--one who labored night and day, even at the sacrifice of personal affairs and health, for its best interests. As he was true within the Order to the teachings of Friendship, Loyalty and Charity, so was he faithful, even into death, to the best interests of those he served in a legal capacity, and those he honored with his social and fraternal friendship. His charity was unbounded, and there are many who can testify to his willingness to always assist, both in a moral and a financial way, those not so fortunate as himself.

To Nathan Bundy, every charge--weather within business, fraternal or social circles--was is a sacred trust, and he held each and every one of them above a suspicion of dishonor. Every duty imposed upon him was well performed, and he gave the best that was in him to the successful accomplishment of all tasks assigned him.

While young in years, he had accomplished what many who live to a much greater age never accomplished, that while his life work was cut short when the pathway ahead seemed strewn with naught but the roses of success and happiness, still the pathway through life which he had trod is plainly marked with the never-fading flowers of the life well spent--a life not devoted to personal success and pleasures, but largely giving over to the accomplishment of good deeds and to the betterment of his fellowmen.

In Memoriam
Past Grand Trustee James E. Isaacs

There was called to the Grand Parlor on High our esteemed Brother, James E. Isaacs, above McCloud Parlor No. 149, a former Grand Trustee of our Order. Brother Isaacs took a deep interest in our Order in its earlier history, performing his duties as a Grand Officer with zeal, energy and sincerity, being deeply imbued with the principles of the Order, which he so dearly loved. He was a native of Shasta County, living there the span of his life, fifty-four years, in splendid type of manhood. He was conspicuous among his fellow man for his high rate ideal of good citizenship, and in practice of his profession of the law, was noted for his integrity and ability. Never was his name tarnished and when he passed away at his home in Redding, in his native county, June 8, 1911, he was mourned by all who knew him for his noble character and sterling worth he had live to the life of a true and loyal Native Son.

Honored Dead
Past Grand President Charles Henry Garoutte

Charles Henry Garoutte was born in Yolo County, California, on the 15th of October, 1854. His parents were among the sturdy pioneers crossed the plains in the early days, but who, like many others, when the gold excitement had abated, settled down to the farm.

It was not his privilege to enjoy the advantages of a higher education, for in those days the public school system was but a crude imitation, as compared with the magnificent institutions of learning everywhere about us today. He attended the district school and afterwards received the further instruction in a sectarian college which fitted him for teaching and this profession he followed for a short time merely as a stepping stone to the accomplishment of a loftier ambition. Meanwhile he was preparing himself, during leisure hours, for the practice of the law. Later he entered the law office of the late F. E. Baker at Woodland, and was admitted to practice at the comparatively early age of 21. He at once entered vigorously upon his chosen profession, and within a few months after his admission to the bar was nominated by the Republican party of Yolo County for the office of district attorney, in which, as well as in nearly every other after of his life, he was successful. At the next succeeding election he was reelected, as search for a period of five years, declining renomination for a third term. His experience in this office developed the fact that he possessed the qualifications of an able prosecutor, and gained for him an eviable reputation has a trial lawyer. In 1884 he was nominated by the same party for the office of judge of the superior court of Yolo County, and filled this position for six years, but before his term had expired the people of the State recognizing his ability had elected him an associate judge of the superior court, when he relinquished the duties of judge of the superior court it was only to take up the more arduous and distinguished responsibilities of justice of the court of last resort. In the latter position he served the full term of twelve years with eminent ability, and the result of his labor is recorded in volumes 85 to 137 of the supreme court reports, an enduring monument to his name. He was the author of several of the leading opinions of that court and his characteristic attitude and manner of expression never permitted any question submitted for decision to remain undetermined.

Judge Garoutte was one of the charter members of Woodland Parlor No. 30, organized May 24, 1884, and to the date of his death, he took an active interest in the welfare of the organization. At the meeting of the Grand Parlor held in 1887 he was elected to the position of Grand President, and at succeeding meetings of the Grand Parlors, his wholesome influence was manifested by his presence and participation in the deliberations and debates which have shaped the destinies of the Order, and made it a recognized element for good.

He was essentially a self-made man. He inherited the genius which afforded opportunities to success, and as those opportunities presented themselves he knew the best method of taking advantage of them and turning them to account. As a public speaker he was forceful and eloquent, of commanding presence, dignified and able, yet always tolerant of the views of others. He possessed a vein of humor which made him easily accessible and entertaining.

Nature had been exceedingly liberal in bestowing upon him a vigorous mind and body, but it was the sagacity and good judgment which he possessed that enabled him to wield a powerful influence among men, particularly fitting him for leadership and enabling him to solve difficult situations and vexations problems with the case and skill of a master.

As a private citizen he was free from ostentation, open and frank in manner, good-natured in conduct and disposition, and always loyal to the cause of his friends.

On the bench he was courteous and obliging, but absolutely independent and courageous. His decisions show a broad and comprehensive marshaling of law and facts, and a corresponding elimination of the purely technical, thereby giving permanence, stability and character to his contributions to our judicial literature.

Both as a man and as a judge Judge Garoutte stood out prominently among the young men of our State. Called at an early age to positions of trust and confidence he filled those various stations with such a degree of satisfaction that he was invariably rewarded by increased duties and responsibilities. For his advancement he was indebted solely to the recognition of the public of his great abilities and high character.

Although taken from the scenes of this world's activities, from its hopes, its aspirations and its victories at his prime he was none of the less a public figure. His whole life was spent in California and he knew his native State and her people as few men learn to know. He loved the Order of Native Sons because it simplified the loyalty and patriotism of those whom he was most intimately associated. And in turn he was regarded by his fellow men a true specimen of California manhood, a legitimate representative of the offspring of our worthy pioneers.

In all his domestic relations as husband and father his life was beautiful. And while it was true or that he rose to distinction there is a satisfaction in the hearts of his devoted wife and daughters greater than fame can give, that he bequeathed to them the priceless legacy of a pure and stainless name.

Honored Dead
Eugene F. Bert

On the eighteenth day of February, 1910, stricken down in his prime, Eugene F. Bert, Past President of Mission Parlor No. 38 and a Past Grand Trustee and Grand Order of the Grand Parlor, passed to the Heavenly Parlor on High.

Brother Bert was a loyal and enthusiastic Native Son. Joining Mission Parlor in 1886, he from the first took an interest in all matters pertaining to our Order. After passing through the Chairs of his Parlor, Brother Bert did not allow his interest to lag, but continued his activities, and though located in New York for a number of years, he retained the membership in the Order until the last. He was a member of the Assembly in the State Legislature of 1891, subsequently being elected State Senator and serving during the Thirty-first and Thirty-second Sessions of the Legislature, and afterwards becoming an attorney for the State Insurance Commissioner.

By training and inclination Brother Bert was admiringly fitted for the profession of the law, which he adopted on reaching his majority. He was President of the California Baseball League for a number of years and in every walk of life took that active interest which characterized his associations with our Order.

Brother Bert was a Delegate to the Grand Parlor at the Twelve, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Sessions. He was elected Grand Trustee at the Sixteenth Session and Grand Order at the Seventeenth Session, and sat in the Grand Parlor as Grand Orator during the Eighteenth Session, and thereafter was again elected to the Grand Parlor and sat with it as Delegate during the Nineteenth in Twentieth Sessions.

In Memorial
Richard D. Barton

Our brother in the full vigor of his manhood, Richard D. Barton has passed to the Heavenly Parlor on high.

His was a noble character, full of energy and charity.

His last thoughts, as had been his constant care during the whole of his manhood, were the order of Native Sons of the Golden West.

His crowning glory was that shortly before he had seen his son initiated into his beloved Order.

He died, not old in years, but full of achievement. For twenty-three years he had been recording secretary of Sequoia Parlor.

Nor did he confine his work to his Parlor; he served for many years as a Deputy Grand President-at-Large.

He had been a member of the Nineteenth, Twenty-first, Twenty-third, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, Thirty-second, Thirty-third, and Thirty-forth, and Thirty-fifth Grand Parlors, and was a duly elected delegate to the Thirty-seventh Grand Parlor now assembled.

His good work as assistant secretary to the 1910 Joint Ninth of September Committee contributed in no small measure to the success of the that monster celebration. And he died during the burden of secretary to the Joint 1915 Admission Day Committee.

He practiced to the full the virtue of Friendship, and his friends are legion. He exemplified Loyalty and all things, both great and small. His Charity was boundless in both word and deed.

He was gone, leaving a birthright and a legacy to his family and his friends, beyond the dreams of avarice, a good name and in during memory.

Honored Dead
John Anthony Steinbach
Past Grand President

Born--San Francisco, Oct. 21, 1854
Entered Fraternity--July 11, 1875
Died--August 13, 1913

In his twentieth year, within a few months of his majority, John Anthony Steinbach was the first to set his name to the roll of the little society determined on immediately after the Independence Day Parade held on July 5th, 1875, and formally organized on the following Sunday, July 11th. He was the first President of the "Native Sons of the Golden West," and one of the five incorporators of the corporation formed on March 27th, 1876.

Not only in the foundation of the parent society was he at the front, but in later years as District Deputy, as Grand Vice-President, as Grand President, and as it a Past Grand President acting as Organizer he was the instituting officer for Modesto Parlor No. 11, Visalia Parlor No. 19, Sunset Parlor No. 26, Bear Flag Parlor No. 27, Golden Gate Parlor No. 29, Woodland Parlor No. 30, Excelsior Parlor No. 31, General Winn Parlor No. 32, Hanford Parlor No. 37, Mission Parlor No. 38, Suisun Parlor No. 39, Rainbow Parlor No. 40, Elk Grove Parlor No. 41, Fremont Parlor No. 44, Alameda Parlor No. 47, San Francisco Parlor No. 49, Oakland Parlor No. 50, El Dorado Parlor No. 52, St. Helena Parlor No. 53, Yuba Parlor No. 55, Hydraulic Parlor No. 56, Quartz Parlor No. 58, Auburn Parlor No. 59, Dixon Parlor No. 60, Napa Parlor No. 62, Sotoyome Parlor No. 68, Gilroy Parlor No. 81, Oakdale Parlor No. 142, Alder Glen Parlor No. 200 and Cape Horn Parlor No. 203.

In addition to the foregoing Parlors, of which he was Instituting Officer, the archives of the Order show he was one of those assisting an institution of many other Parlors. He can well be called one of the "fathers of the Order."

On the formation of Pacific Parlor No. 10, in November, 1881, he transferred his membership to that Parlor, and was sent to represent it in the Grand Parlor convened in June, 1882, the Fifth Grand Parlor, at Sacramento.

At the Six Session, in April, 1883, at San Francisco, he again represented his Parlor and was then elected, by acclamation, "Deputy Grand President," which title was changed during that session, after his installation, to Grand Vice-President.

In April, 1884, at Marysville, he was unanimously elected Grand President and presided over the remainder of the Seventh Grand Parlor’s Session and the destinies of the Native Sons of the Golden West until the installation of Officers of the Eighth Grand Parlor at San Jose in April, 1885.

As Past Grand President he sat in the Grand Parlor and gave the benefit of his experiencing counsel at the Ninth Session in Woodland, the Tenth Grand Parlor at Nevada City, the Eleventh Grand Parlor at Fresno, the Twelfth Grand Parlor at San Rafael, the Thirteenth Session at Chico, the Fourteenth Session at Santa Rosa, the Fifteenth Session at Los Angeles, and the Sixteenth Grand Parlor at Sacramento.

After sitting in the Grand Parlor for twelve successive years ill health prevented his further regular attendance and he thereafter was able to attend but three sessions; at Oakland, in 1895 he attended the Eighteenth Grand Parlors; in Santa Cruz he sat with the Twenty-fifth Session in 1902, and for the last time he attended a Grand Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West at Tahoe Tavern, Lake Tahoe, in 1910, the Thirty-third Session.

After a short nine years of strenuous activity as a Native Of the Golden West, Fairfax Henry Wheelan was taken by the Great Reaper from among his fellows.

Conrad Gottwals
Past Grand Sentinel

Born—Colusa County, Oct. 20, 1860
Entered Fraternity--Marysville Parlor No. 6, Aug. 22, 1882
Died--Marysville, July 13, 1915

Brother Conrad Gottwals was born in Colusa County, Oct. 20, 1860, and died in Marysville on July 13, 1915.

He became a member of Marysville Parlor No. 6, passed through the chairs of his Parlor and became a Past President of the of his Parlor, and was elected and served as delegate to the Tenth and Eleventh Grand Parlors, Nevada City and Fresno, served as Grand Inside Sentinel at the Twelfth Session, in San Rafael, and as Grand Outside Sentinel at the Chico Grand Parlor, the Thirteenth session.

He was always an ardent and enthusiastic Native, and will be remembered by the members of the earlier Grand Parlors as the " Poet Lariat."

His love for the Order was known by his will, in which he requested that he should be buried under the auspices of his Parlor and that a Brother of the Parlor should pronounce his eulogy.

The requests contained in his will were fully carried out and the Past Grand President, a member of his Parlor, delivered the funeral address, in which was epitomized, in the following sentence, his aspirations as a poet: "Brother Gottwals was a poet in the rough and although his efforts may have been crude, they breathed a love for his Native State which could not be mistaken."
