San Luis Obispo Daily Telegram, March 11, 1929
"FUNERAL HELD FOR CAMBRIAN.  Friends from this city and from the Cambria
district paid final tribute to Ira Van Gorden, member of one of the pioneer
families of Cambria, at funeral rites held Monday afternoon at the Richardson
funeral parlors and the I.O.O.F. cemetery at Cayucos [??].

Mr. Van Gorden died at his home here on Friday night [March 8], after a two
weeks illness.  He was born in Visalia [Tulare County], but came to this county
as a child and grew up in the Cambria district, where he resided until 17 years
ago, when he retired from business activities and moved to this city.

The large attendance at the funeral and the many floral tributes indicated the
wide circle of friends which he had acquired during his life in this county.  He
was 65 years old at the time of his death.

Survivors are the widow, Mrs. Francesco Van Gorden, a daughter, Mrs. Edith
Stead, both of this city; and the following brothers and sisters, Mrs. Walter
Murray, of Los Angeles, Gilbert and George Van Gorden, of Danville; Sherman Van
Gorden of Palo Alto and Vine and Earl Van Gorden, of Cambria.

Rev. H.C. Taylor, of the Methodist church here, officiated at the rites at the
parlors and the cemetery.  At the parlors Mrs. J.C. Hill sang consoling solos." END
