Attorney, Once Editor of Champion, Died of Heart Attack
Funeral services Monday morning at the Methodist church paid tribute to Ralph C. Homan, widely known resident of this community for 40 years, who died at his home early last Friday morning of a heart attack. Attempt of the fire department resuscitator squad to revive him was futile.
Mr. Homan was born in Harlan, Smith county, Kansas, and came to Chino in 1901 to enter the mercantile business with his father, R. S. Homan, in the building now occupied by the Steen cafe. He also operated the first electric light system in this city.
In 1904, he was married to Miss Alma Moore of Chino and to this union were born a son and daughter, Dr. Clifton B. Homan of Monrovia and Mrs. Marjorie Homan Thompson of Los Angeles. Five years later he purchased the Chino Champion from John M. Reed, the first issue under his editorship being on June 4, 1909. He continued as a partner in the mercantile business for some time thereafter.
While engaged in publishing this newspaper, Mr. Homan took up the study of law and was admitted to the bar on October 6, 1916. He also was active in the formation of the Chino Building and Loan association, serving as its secretary and as president for several years. Growth of his law practice caused him to dispose of the newspaper to Elmer L. Howell Sr., who took control in June, 1920.
During his residence in Chino, Mr. Homan took part in many community activities. He was a member of the Methodist church and served that denomination in various capacities. He was also a member of the F. & A. M., Order of Eastern Star, and Knights of Pythias lodges, being a past master of the former and of the Chino Rotary club, of which he was junior past president.
In civic work, Mr. Homan served as justice of peace, city attorney and member of the board of school trustees and was one of the organizers of the Chino Basin Water Protective association.
He was born on July 6, 1880, and grew to manhood in his native state of Kansas, where he attended the public schools and went on to higher education at Kansas State normal, teaching school after graduation for two years.
Afflicted for many years with asthma, it was this which caused failing health and forced him, at times, to seek relief at desert points. A recent visit to Twenty-Nine Palms, his favorite place of recuperation, failed to give him the relief sought and decline in health was rapid during the last few weeks.
Surviving besides his widow and two children, are four sisters, Mrs. Bert R. Moody and Mrs. Millage V. Ingram of Chino, Mrs. H. C. Daniels of Huntington Park and Mrs. Ray L. Croskey (sic) of Iowa; two brothers, Edward L. Homan of San Bernardino and Fred S. Homan of South Gate.
Funeral services at the church were in charge of Rev. E. Clayton Burgess, pastor, and Rev. Lawrence E. Warren of Maywood, former pastor here. Interment was in Pomona cemetery. Arrangements were in charge of K. T. Heinauer mortuary."

Ralph married Alma Bell Moore in 1904. Alma (daughter of David Elias Moore and Mercy Malora Banning) was born on 27 Nov 1880 in Harlan, Kansas, USA; died on 10 Oct 1974 in Laguna Hills, California, USA; was buried in Pomona Cemetery and Mauseleum, Pomona, Los Angeles County, California, United States.

David E. Moore Follows Wife to Sepulcher Within Year.
Death, within a year after the passing of his wife, last Monday called David E. Moore, one of Chino's most loved pioneers, to his final rest at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ralph C. Homan. Mr. Moore had not been well for more than a year and the death of his helpmate for 61 years during the early part of this year created in him the spirit of restlessness and an unwillingness to combat the final summons longer. His death was not unforeseen then when he took ill again a few days before his demise.
Mr. Moore was a native of New York, born April 24, 1850, and at the age of two years went with his parents to Iowa where the family farmed. He grew to young manhood in that state and on March 14, 1871, was married to Mercy Malora Banning at what is now Preston, Jackson county, Iowa. Herre the couple lived until the fall of that year when Mr. Moore disposed of his blacksmith business and moved to Green county, Iowa, where he engaged in farming until 1873. In that year he sold his Iowa farm and joined his brother in a westward trek to Kansas, homesteading in Smith county. Grasshoppers and drought caused them to forsake the homestead and they purchased 160 acres in Phillips county, near what is now the town of Kerwin. On this place the family remained for 17 years, selling out in 1892 and coming to California.
The first two years after coming to this state were spent in Pomona but with the opening of the sugar factory here for its second season, Mr. and Mrs. Moore moved with their family to Chino. This city has since been their home, the family circle being broken by the death of Mrs. Moore last May.
To Mr. and Mrs. Moore were born four children: Herbert, who died in infancy; Walter M. of Laguna Beach, Don E. and Mrs. Alma Moore Homan of Chino. The three children and five grand-children survive.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the M. E. church, Rev. Elmer S. Andersen officiating. Burial was in Pomona cemetery. Glenn A. Henry of Richardson & Henry Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements."
