Daily Alta California, January 7, 1853
It is with feelings of sincere regret that we learn of the decease of our
estimable fellow-townsman Charles J. Bache, Esq., who, on returning with
his family from a visit to the States, died of a disease resembling the
yellow fever on board the steamship Cortes, on her last trip from
Panama. Mr. Bache was one of the earliest settlers in our city, and although
quite a young man, had, by his industry, intelligence and integrity, laid
the foundation for a future of independence. His untimely death has cast
a deep gloom in the circles of his numerous friends.
A little daughter of Mr. Bache succumbed to a similar disease, as well as
two young and interesting children of his brother-in-law, Mr. T.J. Grotjan.
Out of a happy family of ten souls, who left Philadelphia a month ago, only
six survive to reach our shores.

This site started with my daughter's family tree homework project ten years ago. It has taken us around the world in search of family (and to just have fun). Our generational tree is now 5'x4' and goes back to the 1700s in Maine (before that Ireland, Wales and Germany). A family tree is a marvelous way to keep your family connected.
