"BRANNAN--Mrs. Ann Eliza Brannan, at one time the wife of the famous Sam Brannan, after whom Brannan street was named, was buried yesterday from St. James Episcopal Church in the presence of a few relatives and friends. She died Thursday, 93 years old. Sam Brannan and Mrs. Ann Eliza Brannan were divorced in 1868, at which time Brannan settled more that a half million dollars upon her. She lived in Paris for many years, and their children were educated there. Before her marriage she was Ann Eliza Cowan. Sam Brannan's spectacular career in Utah, California and Mexico is still a topic of interest. He came here before the gold rush and was one of the largest realty owners in early San Francisco. He died about fifteen years ago in Escondido, San Diego County. Mrs. Brannan leaves a son, Sam Brannan, who is now is Mexico, and a daughter, Mrs. L.A. Gjessing, with whom she lived at 257 Seventh avenue."
