Pioneer Editor Called By Death
H. H. Granice, pioneer newspaper man of California, proprietor of the Sonoma Tribune and at one time the owner of a local paper, died last Friday at the Lane Hospital in San Francisco after suffering from a complication of disorders brought on from old age. He had been under the care of physicians for _?_ (blot) weeks.
The newspaper career of Editor Granice had its beginning in 1851, when as a boy of 12 years of age he served his apprenticeship as a “printer’s devil” in Merced county. In 1872 he established in San Francisco a paper known as The People and continued his management until 1877, when he disposed of his interest and held positions as foreman of the pressrooms of the various San Francisco papers until 1884.
He then went to Sonoma county, where he became the editor and later the proprietor of the Tribune. Ten years ago he lost his first wife, and on September 29, 1914, was married the second time to Miss Grace Bonner of Santa Rosa. He leaves besides his widow three married daughters, one of whom had charge of the local paper which her father owned a few years ago in this city.
