Pioneer Dairyman Passes Away
Death today claimed Amos H. Stinson, pioneer dairyman, and father of Mrs. N. L. Fitzhenry at Stinson Beach. He was 83 years of age.
Stinson, with four other men, N. H. Stinson, John Pepper, John Upton and Wallace Upton established dairy ranches on Point Reyes 45 years ago and were the pioneers in that locality of the diary business. Later he resided in Oregon, San Jose and Berkeley, and about six years ago he retired and made his home with his daughter at Stinson Beach.
His wife, Mrs. Margaret J. Stinson, preceded him in death by several years. He is survived by his three daughters, Mrs. Y. D. Hensill, of San Jose, Miss Maud Stinson, of Berkeley, and Mrs. Fitzhenry.
The funeral will be held privately at the Stinson Beach home tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock under the direction of the F. E. Sawyer Company.
