THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, D ECEMBER 13, 1896. JUDGE TOWLE | DIES AT NAPK The Final Summons Comes | Suddenly to the Aged | Jurist. Arouses His Wife at Night andi Tells Her That His Race Is Run. Passing of a Man Who Balanced the Scales of Justice With Im- partial Hand. NAPA, Can, Dec. 12--Judge G. W. Towle, one of the men who assisted in | blazing the way to a better civilization during California’s pioneer days, died suddenly at his home in this city last night. The newsof the aged jurist’s pass- ing came as a shock to the community, for last evening he was seen upon the streets, apparently in bis usual health. Judge Towle retired last evening as usual. About 11 o’clock he called to his wife and complained of suffering some pain. He said his lungs were filling and afew moment: later he gave his loved companion to understand that the end was at hand. Before a physician could feach his bedside he was dead. A man of spotiess character and unsul- lied life, one who! stalwart frame had | for years been yielding to the infirmities | that usually come to those whu have | passed the three score and ten limit, has thaus been called from the activities of life to his final rest. Few men in the community had been more often honored by their fellows: Able iu the expounding of the law, he was just and impartial in demanding its enforcement, and for this reason was many times called to the chair of justice. He was first appointed Justice of the Peace of Napa County by the Supervisors on November 13, 1857. He was el cted District, Attorney in 1869, served one torm and was appointed County Judge to fill the vacancy occasioned by the aeath of Judge Jacks on September 5, 1863. Judge Crouch succeeded him on the bench in 1875. He was made Uity Attor- ney and served in that capacity ei:ht yvears, conducting in the meantime im- portant cases involving large municipal interests. Of late years the Judge had filled the office of Court Commissioner, under appointment of Judge Ham. He | had also been attorney for Mrs. E. B. | Hartson in the management of her large | estate, and had papers in his pocket which were perfected yesterday prepara- tory to pushing a suit for his client in San | Francisco to-day. Judge Towle was born in Avon, Me., on October 6, 1823. He came to California in 1349 and engsged in mining. Later he set- tied in Napa_and entered upon the prac- tice of law. He was a man of command- ing presence, but of a quiet and retiring | disposition. He was never in court unless | he had business there, was constant in at- tendance upon official duties and when he | icn it was in nature’s wilds | was aman of | strong convictions, loved his country in- | tensely and mourned the defeats and re- | joiced” in the victories of the Revpublican | party, to which he gave life-long alle- | giance. 3 Judge Towle is survived by a widow, one | daughter, Mrs. A. Peilet, and a nephew. George M. Towle of San Fran- | cisco. Thetuneralwill be held to-morrow | at 3:30, o’ciock from the family residence | on Oak street. { GATHEKING AT PHENIX.
