D. H. Birdsall, Old Resident, Dies
David H. Birdsall, for many years a resident of San Rafael, died at his home in the West End last Friday at the age of 84 years.
Birdsall had been in the employ of the Giant Powder Company for a great many years. He started with the concern as a salesman after attracting attention as an expert on blasting in the mining districts of California. He was employed steadily until he had reached a great age, when he was retired on a handsome pension.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at Sawyer’s Parlors, Rev. Lynn T. White, officiating.
