OBITUARY ---------------JOHN MORAN
Redwood City Democrat
October 21, 1910
John Moran familiarly called “Jack” by his many friends, met with a sad death Saturday afternoon at Fair Oaks. He was seated on top of a load of hay and losing his balance, fell, his head striking one of the wheels, causing a fracture at the base of the skull. His death followed soon after.
The deceased was buried in Union Cemetery Monday by his employer, Daniel Flynn.
The funeral took place from the undertaking parlor of James Crowe. Rev. George Golden, in charge of St. Peter’s Church, conducted the burial service.
John Hugh Moran was born in Lubec, Washington County, Maine about 61 years ago. He learned the blacksmith trade in his father’s shop in Lubec and came to the coast in about 1869, locating on the Puget Sound. Afterwards, he came to this county. The deceased was upright and conscientious and thoroughly honest in all his dealings with his fellow men. He leaves two married sisters in Washington who are his only known relatives.
