Surrounded by most of his family, Don Juan Bandini, a distinguished Southern Californian and a worthy member of one of the finest Spanish families here, after a long and painful illness, died at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Do�a Arcadia. Himself of a good-sized family, Don Juan married twice. His first wife, courted in 1823, was Dolores, daughter of Captain Jos� Estudillo, a comandante at Monterey; and of that union were born Do�a Arcadia, first the wife of Abel Stearns and later of Colonel R. S. Baker; Do�a Ysidora, who married Lieutenant Cave J. Coutts, a cousin of General Grant; Do�a Josefa, later the wife of Pedro C. Carrillo (father of J. J. Carrillo, formerly Marshal here and now Justice of the Peace at Santa Monica), and the sons, Mar�a Bandini and Juanito Bandini. Don Juan's second wife was Ref�gio, a daughter of Santiago Arguello and a granddaughter of the governor who made the first grants of land to rancheros of Los Angeles. She it was who nursed the wounded Kearny and who became a friend of Lieutenant William T. Sherman, once a guest at her home; and she was also the mother of Do�a Dolores, later the wife of Charles R. Johnson, and of Do�a Margarita whom Dr. James B. Winston married after his rollicking bachelor days. By Bandini's second marriage there were three sons: Juan de la cruz Bandini, Alfredo Bandini and Arturo Bandini.[p.256] Source: Newmark, Harris. Sixty Years in Southern California.

San Diego is the residence of Don Juan Bandini, whose mansion fronts on one side of the Plaza. He [p.250] is well known to the early settlers of California as a gentleman of distinguished politeness and hospitality. His wife and daughters are among the most beautiful and accomplished ladies of our State. One of the latter is married to Mr. Stearns, a very wealthy and distinguished resident of Los Angeles, another to Colonel Couts, late a lieutenant in the First Regiment of U.S. Dragoons, and another to Mr. Charles Johnson, who for a long time was the agent of the P.M.S.S. Company at this place. The whole family is highly connected and universally respected.
