Zar Price Brandon




Louisa Doan 
Zar & Louisa both died on 09 Nov 1891 from accidental poisoning.

Louisa was interested in taxidermy and kept some of the poisonous materials in a can in the kitchen.  Arsenic was unintentionally used for baking powder in biscuits.

Belle married 1888 in Sacramento County, CA to William Lawrence Mitchell (1859-) they had a son, Harold Brandon Mitchell (1896-1970)

Bell would die 10 March 1903 in California. I didn't find out why. I made her a tree on Ancestry and I added all this information, there are lots of trees for her father some have her added, but none have found or added her criminal record, I am assuming that story wasn't handed down.
