• Notes

  Mountain Democrat (Placerville, CA) August 9, 1913 William Wallace Rust, of Rescue, father of our townsman, Wm. Rust, of the firm of Quigley & Rust, passed to his long rest on Tuesday last at the family home after a lingering illness from asthma which was recently complicated with dropsy. Mr. Rust had been identified with the western part of the county for fifty years where he had for the most of that time followed successfully the occupations of blacksmithing and farming. He was a native of Ipswich, Massachusetts, where he was born April 27th, 1827. His trip around the Horn to California, occupied 219 days, and he landed May 3d, 1850, during the early excitement attending the rush of gold seekers and with them he endured the ups and downs of the miners' life of those days. He was a type of rugged pioneer of whom but few are left, and was remarkably active for one of his years. He was married in 1856 and there are eight children surviving, his wife having long since died. The sons are William, of this city, Wallace and Thomas Rust, of Sacramento, Charles, of Geyserville, and John, of Los Angeles. The daughters Mrs. C. A. Lorain and Mrs. J. W. Fleming, of Green Valley, and Mrs. Ethel Sexton, of San Jose.
