The Clear Lake Press, September 02, 1911

In the death of Mrs. Emily Hastain, which occurred last Saturday night, August 
26, 1911, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Cynthia Mathis, this place lost a 
good Christian woman and pioneer citizen, and the family has lost a devoted, 
loving mother and her neighbors a sincere friend. 
Mrs. Hastain was born in Tennessee October 10, 1829, and at the time of her 
death was 81 years, 10 months and 16 days old. She had been a faithful christian 
ever since she could remember, and passed to her rest in the full faith of an 
everlasting home with her redeemer. 
Mrs. Hastain came to California from Missouri, where she had lived since early 
childhood, in 1857, crossing the plains with an ox-team, and located in Sonoma 
county, where she lived 25 years, coming to Lake county in 1882 and has resided 
here ever since. She was the mother of twelve children, eight of whom—Robert, 
Isaac N. and David Hastain, and Mrs. Cynthia Mathis, of this place, Mrs. Sarah 
Dine, Mrs. Mary Davis and Elsie Wilson, of Colusa, and Mrs. Lucinda Maupin, of 
Glenn county—survive her. 
Mrs. Hastain had lived to see the fifth generation, having, at the time of her 
death, 41 grand children, 43 great-grandchildren and 4 
great-great-grand-children, whom, with her 12 children, make her the progenitor 
of an even 100 people—truly a remark-record. 
The funeral services were held yesterday, August 28, at 2 p.m., in the Christian 
church, of which she was a member, and were conducted by Rev. H. H. Buckner, 
pastor of the M. E. church. The interment was in I.O.O.F. Cemetery
