"Death of Dr. Ostrander.  OAKLAND, Jan. 22 - Dr. Jasper A. Ostrander, a member of the well-known family in Merced County of that name, died to-day at his residence, 875 Filbert street, from heart disease.  The funeral will occur from the residence at 1 o'clock next Wednesday afternoon." - San Francisco Call, Tue., 23 Jan 1900, pg. 7/4.

"The sudden death of Dr. J. A. Ostrander was quite a shock to his many friends here.  Although he had been ailing for some time, it was not thought that he was dangerously ill.  He died Monday in Oakland of an abscess of the lungs.  A wife and three children are left to mourn his loss." - Dixon Tribune, Fri., 26 Jan 1900, pg. 2/2.

"A POPULAR PHYSICIAN.  Solano Republican Jan. 26.  This community was shocked Monday afternoon when the sad intelligence was announced by telegram that Dr. J. A. Ostrander had died that afternoon at his home in Oakland.  Although it was known many months ago that Dr. Ostrander was a very sick man, and at the time last summer he was compelled to abandon his practice here, few thought he would ever be well again, but recent reports were of an encouraging nature and hopes for his recovery were revived.  The news therefore of his death came as a great shock to many people who knew him in life only to love him.  Although the deceased had been away from Suisun several months, during his residence here he had so endeared himself to the people they still claimed him as one of their own.  Jasper A. Ostrander was born at Snelling, Merced county, January 7, 1856, his family being one of the foremost of that section and prominently identified with the early history of California.  He received his early education in Merced and finished up by the study of medicine in Oakland, where he was married prior to coming to Solano county to enter into the practice of his chosen profession.  He came here about ten years ago, first locating in Fairfield and afterwards removing to Suisun.  This was in May, 1893.  He was successful in the practice of homeopathy - in fact, he possessed unusual medical skill.  His close attention to his duties, however, finally proved more of a strain than his constitution could bear.  He first became ill a little over a year ago, and although then a very sick man, often answered calls and took long cold drives when he was unfit to leave his bed.  His devotion to his duties was too much for him and it was not long before he had to give it up entirely.  By the death of Dr. Ostrander a vacancy has been made that will be hard to replace.  He was a man of honor and possessed of a kind and generous dispositon.  He was quiet, and unostentatious to such degree, that many acts of his generosity and charity were unknown except to himself.  In Fraternal circles he held a high place and much could be said of him in this regard if space permitted.  He was a member of Suisun Lodge No. 78, I. O. O. F., Suisun Lodge No. 111, Knights of Pythias and Solano Parlor No. 39, N. S. G. W., and was a past presiding officer of each of these lodges.  He was also a member of Crystal Rebekah lodge of Suisun, of which his widow is also a member.  There are left to mourn his loss, a sorrowing widow, Mrs. Emma Ostrander, and three children, Olive, Annis and Charles." - Merced Express, Fri., 2 Feb 1900, pg. 3/5.
