• Notes

  Mrs. Mary P. Staples. San Francisco, Cal., April 29. - Mrs. Mary P. Staples, wife of the president of the Firemen's Fund Insurance Company, died yesterday afternoon. Mary Pratt Winslow was her maiden name and she was born in Newton, Mass., on April 14, 1830. She was a direct descendant of one of the Puritan fathers who landed at Plymouth Rock from the Mayflower, and of Edward Winslow, first Governor of Massachusetts. On April 20, 1848, she was married to David Jackson Staples, who a short time after came to the new Eldorado, arriving in 1849. In January, 1851, the couple moved to the Staples ranch near Stockton, where Mrs. Staples established the first Sunday school in California. The ranch was on the line of the overland trail, and hundreds of weary immigrants, often sick and wasted by disease, were welcomed there and the ranch became a household word along the entire coast. Mrs. Staples was the projector of the Lick Home for Old Ladies and the Children's Hospital. (The Daily Inter Ocean, Chicago, Illinois - dated 1895-04-30 - Vol. XXIV No. 37) —— Descendant of Dr. Shadrach Winslow, of Massachusetts. Daughter of Eleazer Robbins Winslow and Ann Corbett, his wife. Granddaughter of Shadrach Winslow and Elizabeth Robbins, his wife. Shadrach Winslow, at the breaking out of the war, contributed largely to the fitting out of a ship and served on board as surgeon. He was captured, confined on the "Old Jersey," and when released was surgeon's mate on the "Hazard."
