- Emile Vache Is Called By Death
Wine Merchant Passes Away at Home of His Daughter After an Illness of Six Weeks – Long a Resident of California
Emile Vache, for fifty-two years a resident of California and a well-known wine merchant, died last night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.H. Parker, 930 Aliso street, after an illness of six weeks.
Mr. Vache was born in St. George, France, seventy-two years ago. In 1856 he sailed for American, coming direct to California. He landed in San Juan, Monterey county, where an uncle, Theophile Vache, owned a ranch and conducted a general merchandise store.
The nephew was place in charge of the establishment immediately upon his arrival and conducted the business for several years, when he removed to San Francisco. After a few years’ stay in that city and in mining camps in the northern part of the state he removed to Los Angeles, where he entered into partnership with a brother and established a winery on Alameda street. Later he withdrew from the partnership and opened a winery at First and Alameda under the name of the Wine Growers association. He continued in business at that place until 1881, when he removed to Brookside, in San Bernardino county, and engaged in business. He had maintained a residence there until early in January, when he became ill and came to Los Angeles for treatment, living with his daughter.
Funeral services will be held from the residence of his daughter tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. Members of the French Benevolent society, of which he was one of the founders, will attend.
