Samuel Randles, whose death which occurred at his home on Butte creek, was 
noted in your paper last week, was born in [-?-] County, Dec. 13, 1832. When 
three years of age his parents moved to Illinois and later to Missouri. In the 
fall of 1854 he crossed the plains to California, where he was married April 
21, 1868, to Lydia M. Henry. He next moved to Pok County, this state, and a 
few years later to Butte creek, where he has resided ever since. His funeral, 
which took place at Brownsboro, March 15th, was largely attended by friends 
and relatives. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Lydia Randles, and several grown 
children, viz.: Mrs. O. A. Tyrrell, of Hornbrook, Calif., Mrs. R. L. Parker, 
of Coles, Calif., Mrs. J. F. True, of Medford, Mrs. W. S. Gray, P. L. Randles, 
Elis and Celia Randles, the two latter of whom reside at home.
A loved one from our home has been taken,
Dearest father, thy life has fled.
Without thee we are downcast and sad,
And many are the tears we’ve shed.
In remembrance of thy fond protection,
We shall miss thy loving care.
Yet not forsaken, amid our dejection;
For many with us the same lot share.
We no more shall hear the tread of thy feet,
For thy body in the damp grave lies.
Thee again we hope to meet,
In our home beyond the skies.
