Mrs. Kyburz was well known and dearly beloved by a wide circle of friends extending into many sections of the county. In her active life she displayed a cheerful and benevolent disposition which won for her almost immediately the affection and admiration of aquaintances and preserved for her many endearing friendships.

Born December 28, 1855 at Weaverville, Trinity County, Mary Ella Osgood was the daughter of a mine operator at that place. Her mother passed away in early life and the deceased spent her girlhood at San Francisco.

In Oakland, on November 12, 1874, she bacame the bride of A. B. Kyburz, a native of Sacramento and a pioneer in this county, and the couple established their home at Clarksville, where Mr, Kyburz was associated with his father and brother in dairying and general farming.

Following a year's absence form the county during which they lived at Chico, the couple returned to Shingle Springs and moved from there to Kyburz resort in the fall of 1902. They operated the resort for many years, their son, Ralph, meanwhile operating the resort at Riverton.

Some years later, the Riverton resort was sold and the elder Mr. and Mrs. Kyburz retired to their home in Placerville and the management of Kyburz resot was taken over by Ralph Kyburz.

Mrs. Kyburz is survived by her husband, A. B. Kyburz, (a son of Samuel Kyburz, early California pioneer) and three daughters and one son; Mrs. M. E. Blair, Mrs. M. T. Kelly, Mrs. Stanley Arnot and Ralph Kyburz.

In addition, eight grand-children and two great grandchildren also survive.
