5 THE CELEBRATION AT CARSON The lovely little town of Carson was up bright and early to pay a sad tribute to the heroes who have ended their earthly cares in that city and to the soldiers and sailors recently removed from old Fort Churchill and buried in the cemetery there. The bright new uniforms of the State Militia on the backs of steady sons of America who stand ready to do battle for the nation should the occasion require, give ample proof of Carson’s loyalty. The unveiling of the monument, erected by the State, sacred to the memory of the dead heroes who are laid to rest in that city, was a feature of the day. At 12: 30 the line was formed on Carson Street with the right resting on Mason and facing west. At the head of the procession marched the City Marshal and aid mounted, followed by Governor R. K. Colcord and staff. The Capital Band came next, then Company F, under command of Captain W. U. Mackey; Custer Post G. A. R. , under command of Wm. H. Doane; Mexican Veterans; Custer Post No. 15, W. R. C. , in carriages. SECOND DIVISION Headed by John T. Jones and aids, followed by Warren Engine Co. , No. 1, Curry Engine Co. , No 2, Warren Hose Company, teachers and pupils of the Empire school, officers and children of the State Orphan’s Home, teachers and pupils of the Carson and Brunswick public Schools. THIRD DIVISION Under the command of Dr. Guion and aids, followed by Native Sons of Nevada mounted, and carriages containing the choir, orator, chaplain and Federal, State, county and municipal officers. The procession marched to the cemetery, where the following program was carried out: Music………………. . Capital Band “Rest Soldier Rest”…Choir Prayer………………. . Chaplain Address………………Post Commander “Sleep O Sleep”……. . Choir Services………………Officers of the Day and Chaplain Reading of the Roll of Honor “America”…………. . Choir Benediction…………. . Decoration of graves… The Weekly Gazette And Stockman | 1891 -06 -04 After which the unveiling and dedication of the monument, a cut of which is herewith published, took place. The monument was presented on behalf of the State by Governor R. K. Colcord and accepted by Custer Post Commander, followed by an address by Congressman H. F. Bartine. Nevada has been spat upon by her Eastern neighbors, but when it comes to patriotism and love of country, she would put to blush man of her Eastern sisters, for it is not every Eastern State that has erected so handsome a monument as has Nevada and dedicated to the memory of the country’s defenders. The statue is a fine piece of workmanship and reflects credit, not only on the artist who designed it, but upon the State at large. The word “Rest” is inscribed on the front of the second base, And on the lower tablet the following: “ Nevada’s Gift to Union Soldiers and Sailors, March 19, 1891” in large raised letters. A medallion of Admiral Farragut is engraved on the right lower table and one of General Grant on the left. On the back lower tablet is a foul anchor to represent the navy. On the upper front tablet is a facsimile of the handsome badge of the G. A. R. On the right upper tablet are crossed sabres emblem actual of the cavalry service, and on the left crossed cannon to represent the artillery, and on the back arms stacked in commemoration of the infantry service. The day was not all that could have been asked for, but notwithstanding that, the people of Western Nevada have shown their appreciation of true worth in a manor befitting the occasion.

11 Bartine , Horace Franklin Obituary Judge Bartine Is Summoned by Death Carson City Daily Appeal, August 27, 1918 Hon. H. F. Bartine, for fifty years a resident of this state and for nearly all of that time a resident of Carson, passed away in Winnemucca early this morning, following a severe heart attack brought on by chronic auto-intoxication. Judge Bartine was born March 21, 1848 in New York City, removing when still a small boy to New Jersey, from whence he enlisted in the Civil War as a private when barely 15 years of age. He first came to Nevada in 1869 and after studying law and being admitted to practice, entered public life in the political campaign of 1876, when he became recognized as an eloquent platform speaker. In 1888 he was elected to congress, serving two terms, but was defeated for the office of justice of the supreme court, for which he was a candidate in 1902. Subsequently he has held many important state positions, serving as state tax examiner and for three terms as railroad commissioner. Since 1915 Judge Bartine has been continuously chairman of the Railroad and Public Service Commissions. Judge Bartine, who was a Democratic candidate for the nomination of representative to congress, left Carson several days ago on a campaign of the state, confident of victory, and was in apparently good healthy. But his trip was cut short at Winnemucca from which place word was first received Sunday of his illness. Mrs. Lila Mc. Cabe, a daughter of the deceased, and E. H. Walker left immediately for his bedside, hoping that, with the assistance of a doctor and trained nurse, he might be able to stand the trip home. His condition was then critical from a greatly weakened heart. The deceased has, for many years, been subject to auto-intoxication, causing general lassitude and irregular heart action, and it is believed the added stress and anxiety of his political campaign, combined with his declining years and failing health, brought on the attack of illness from which he could not recover. A wife and three daughters are left to mourn the loss of this greatly beloved public-spirited man. Few men in the state have made a better record that Judge Bartine and his kindly, unassuming ways had won the respect of all. He will be a great loss to the state. Expression of Sympathy The following expression of sympathy was received at the Appeal office early this afternoon from Hon. J. D. Finch, who was one of Judge Bartine’s opponents in the congressional race: “I had known Judge Bartine for over twenty years, first meeting him at Washington, where he was a leading figure in the silver campaign. His family and friends have my sincere sympathy. ” Word Not Yet Received Up to a late hour this afternoon no word had been received regarding the arrival of Judge Bartine’s body from Winnemucca; however, it is expected in on the morning express, and in that event, all members of the G. A. R. and Spanish War Veterans are requested to assemble at the depot and escort the body to the family residence.

12 Bartine , Horace Franklin Obituary Remains of Judge Bartine Brought Home Carson City Daily Appeal, August 28, 1918 The body of the late Judge Horace F. Bartine, who died early yesterday morning in Winnemucca, was brought to this city on the morning express and conveyed to the family residence. Members of the G. A. R. and Spanish War Veterans gathered at the depot and escorted the hearse in double file up Carson street, while scores of friends, who knew the deceased so well in his lifetime, stood uncovered as the procession passed. The funeral will be conducted Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock, by the Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which the deceased had long been a member, and will take place from the family residence. Internment will be in the family plot at Lone Mountain cemetery. Surviving Judge Bartine are two daughters, Mrs. E. V. Muller and Mrs. Thomas Mc. Cabe, both of this city, and his widow, Lydia M. Cooper Bartine, to whom he was married in New Jersey in 1869. Together they came west in that year and after spending a few months in San Francisco they came to Nevada where Bartine secured a position in the old Western mill on the Comstock. Afterwards he was in charge of the Dayton and Virginia toll road, which position he held for three years, at the end of that time removing to Carson and engaged in mill work for the old Lynn Mill and Mining company. It was during these years that he devoted much of his time to the study of public questions and politics which were to play such a dominant part in his advancing years. The public career of Judge Bartine may be said to have begun in the presidential campaign of 1876, when he gained considerable reputation as a platform speaker. Following his admission to the bar in 1880 Judge Bartine’s rise to political prominence was as rapid as it was remarkable. During his second term as Republican representative to congress for which he defeated G. W. Cassady in 1888 by 1, 232 votes, the silver question became the important issue and Congressman Bartine gained distinction as an advocate of bi-metalism, thus taking a stand I opposition to the Republicans of the east. In 1896 when the Republican National Convention declared for the gold standard Judge Bartine was one of the western leaders who refused to support that party policy. Following the completion of his second term in congress, he remained in Washington as editor of the “National Bi-metalist” but in 1894 came out as a Republican against Francis G. Newlands for congress and ran third in a four-cornered race I which J. C. Doughty and B. F. Riley were the other contenders. Later Judge Bartine became mining editor of the Standard at Anaconda, Mont. , returning again to Washington in 1900, where he became associate editor of the Washington Times, remaining in that position for a years. After his return to Nevada in 1902, Judge Bartine, who had then acquired a national reputation, retained his position as a central figure in the politics of the state and was serving his third term as railroad commission when called by the angel of death.

16 Benton, “Doc” James - Obituary “Doc” Benton Dies At Home Here Today Carson Daily Appeal, Friday April 10, 1925 James Woodward Benton, Better known to Carson people for over half a century as “Doc” Benton and whose mind was a storehouse of Western Nevada history, died at his home in the block south of the Capitol at six o’clock this morning. He had been ill for three months and his strength gradually failed until death came today. He was born in Stuban County, New York, on July 19, 1837, and passed his childhood and youth there. His association with the West began in 1864 when he crossed the plains from Hutchison, Kansas, reaching Salt Lake City in forty-two days. On August 28 of that year he arrived in Dayton, Nevada. His earliest activities consisted of mining and milling and he is said to have made one clean-up of $4500 at the mill he built in Silver City. He was best known, however, as the proprietor of the Benton livery stable on South Carson street, from which the famous drivers of the early days left on their trips over the Sierra Nevada. It was from there that Hank Monk departed for the noted ride over the summit with Horace Greeley, during which Monk advised the celebrated figure to “Keep your seat, Mr. Greeley, I’ll have you there!” Other drivers who handled the express in the early days with Benton’s as their headquarters were “Poney” King, Lawn Merrifield, Charley Ross, Chares D. Lanes, John Sales and “Big” John Littlefield. Mr. Benton’s mind was as clear on the history of Nevada in spite of his years and he was never more pleased than when called upon to tell of some stirring incident of the old days. He recalled, for instance, having shipped the first carload of ice from Nevada to San Francisco for the Palace Hotel and how he engaged in sale of linament at one time and mineral water at another. His wife died in 1889 at the age of thirty-nine years and a son died in more recent years. Surviving relatives are a daughter, Mrs. Sadie Manton, and two grandchildren. The funeral has been tenatively set for Tuesday and services will probably be conducted at the late home. Interment will be in the cemetery north of Carson J. M. BENTON FUNERAL TAKES PLACE TODAY Carson Daily Appeal, April 14, 1925 Funeral services for J. M. Benton, the venerable “Doc” Benton of pioneer days, were conducted at the Kitzmeyer undertaking parlors this afternoon by Rev. J. L. Harvey of the Presbyterian Church and prayers again said at the grave. Interment was at Lone Mountain. The pallbearers were P. B. Ellis, George Meyers, Henry Wood, Eli Barkley, Joe Farnsworth and L.

28 Cilley, John - Obituary John Cilley Dies as Result of Injuries Carson City Daily Appeal, May 28, 1914 Death came suddenly to John S. Cilley, an old and respected resident of Carson City, at about ten minutes past 4 o’clock this morning. A few days ago, Mr. Cilley, who had lost a limb, was moving about his room and stumbling fell heavily, hurting his hip and back. The injury took a mysterious turn in that it was almost impossible to locate it precisely, or determine its exact extent. After being hurt he was not able to sit up and much of the time suffered considerable pain. It was thought, though, that he was improving. Last evening his attending physician, Dr. Jarrett, waited upon him, gave him due care, administered a hypodermic injection, and Mr. Cilley went to sleep. About 3 a. m. he awakened, and being nervous and restless, sent again for the physician, who came and gave him another very light hypodermic. Mr. Cilley then expressed himself as feeling comfortable, and urged the doctor to go and get some rest. In about an hour his condition was such that Dr. Jarrett was again sent for and at 4: 10 he had a hemorrhage from the mouth, indicating the rupture of a blood vessel. He vomited about a pint of blood and almost immediately expired. Mr. Cilley had been for more than thirty years a member of Custer Post, G. A. R. He was second Lieutenant of Company B, First New Hampshire cavalry, and served through the entire Civil war. He was altogether soldierly in his instinct – one of the most highly respected and honored members of Custer Post. He took the greatest interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the organization to which he belonged, and was always keenly alive to the needs of his comrades in distress and also to the necessities of the widows and orphans of his deceased comrades. His death reduces Custer Post to seventeen members. A niece, his only known relative, living in Oakland, has been telegraphed for and is expected in Carson tomorrow morning. After her arrival arrangements will be made for the funeral service. It is not unlikely that he will be 4 buried on Memorial Day – a day that was very dear to him and if so, his funeral will constitute a feature of the Memorial Day service in this city. Mr. Cilley was a native of New Hampshire, and for thirty-eight years had been living with the Poole family in this city and at whose home he died. He was 78 years of age. Transcribers Note: the family he was living with was Pohl not Poole. Check the 1900 Federal census (Ormsby Co. ) for names.

30 Clarke, Tom - Obituary TOM CLARKE DEAD One of the Oldest Employees of the V & T Passes Away Reno Evening Gazette, July 23, 1889 Tom Clarke, the engineer who for so many years has pulled the passenger train between Reno and Virginia, died at Rubicon Springs, Lake Tahoe, yesterday. His remains were taken to Truckee and passed through to Carson this morning. Mr. Clarke was a native of Ohio, and has been in the employ of the V & T for nearly twenty years. He was about 45 years of age. He leaves three brothers and two sisters – General R. M. , Willis G. and Harry Clarke, and Mrs. Carpenter of San Francisco and Mrs. S. D. King of Reno – on this coast to mourn his loss besides a number of relatives in the East. His funeral will take place tomorrow from the residence of General R. M. Clarke at Carson. Tom, as he was familiarly called, had been in very poor health for a number of months, suffering with paralysis of the lower bowels, which finally ended his life. He was a genial, whole-souled fellow, and will be greatly missed on the road where he has for so many years manipulated the throttle valve; but, at last, he has allowed the steam to go too low, and the fire of life has ceased to burn, and poor Tom Clarke is no more. The GAZETTE extends its sympathy to the bereaved friends who are left to mourn the death of a noble-hearted fellow. The flags on the railroad shops and depot at Carson were immediately placed at half mast on the receipt of the news of his death.

50 Samuel H. Fulton – Obituary Death of Colonel Fulton’s Funeral Reno Weekly Gazette, 11/21/1879 Morning Appeal, 11/22/1879 Reno Weekly Gazette, 11/23/1879 Col. Samuel H. Fulton, an uncle of the editor of this paper, died suddenly last Friday in Carson. The cause was his old enemy, rheumatism of the heart. Col. Fulton was about 64 years of age, and a native of North Ireland. He came to America over forty years ago, living in Philadelphia for many years, where he made and lost large sums of money in trade. At one time he had a very large stationery store on Chestnut street; but his generous habits prevented any permanent accumulations. He made and lost a fortune during the oil excitement in Pennsylvania. He was alwaysa noted traveler, and his ready wit and liveral education made him a valued correspondent. He represented several leading papers at the Vienna exposition and took a great delight in newspaper work. The GAZETTE is indebted to him for the very interesting Carson letters which have appeared of late. He leaves a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters, who reside in the city of Philadelphia. The Colonel won his title by hard work on Gov. Curtin’s staff during the war. He was remarkably youthful in appearance, and but for his gray hair would have passed easily for a man of thirty. He belonged to a very long-lived race, and gave promise to reach the age of his parents, who both lived to a hundred. Note: Col. Fulton’s nephew was R. L. Fulton, editor Reno Weekly Gazette Col. Samuel H. Fulton, late editor of the APPEAL died at the residence of W. S. Byrne on Musser Street, yesterday morning. Mr. Fulton had been suffering for some time from acute rheumatism which is supposed to have reached his heart and caused death. He had been for some weeks an invalid at Mr. Byrne’s house. On Thursday night he was quite sick, Mrs. Byrne nursed him, and about half past 1 o’clock yesterday morning she went to his room to see how he was and he said he was feeling better. About 6 o’clock in the morning he was found lying on the floor between the bed and the wall, dead. Col. Fulton was a native of Ireland 65 years of age. He was a man of superior education, a cultured writer and had traveled quit extensively in Europe. He was a Bohemian in habits and associations, and had been a writer, businessman and singer by turns. The Colonel was cast for the part of “The Baron” in the play of Frou which takes place tonight at the Opera House. He edited the Elko Post and was the author of a series of letters for the APPEAL over the signature of “Blucher. ” For some months he edited the APPEAL until ill health incapacitated him for his duties. His wife and four children live in Philadelphia. The funeral will take place at 2 o’clock this afternoon from the Presbyterian church. Col. Samuel H. Fulton was buried at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon from the Presbyterian Church, Rev. B. L. Mc. Lain officiating. The church was filled with the friends of the deceased. A delegation of six men from the order of Mexican Veterans acted as pall bearers, the deceased having served in the Mexican war, where he honestly won his title Colonel. The remains lay in a neat casket which was draped with a large American flag. There were no flowers upon the coffin from the fact that it was impossible to obtain any in the city in spite of every effort made on the part of many friends of the dead to secure them. A choir of ladies, who had kindly volunteered, sang Dr. Mulenberg’s hymn, “I would not live always, ” with organ accompaniment. The kindly features of the dead were exposed to view. There was a perfectly natural expression, as if he had passed away from earth peacefully and painlessly. The remains were taken to the cemetery followed by the Mexican Veterans in regalia and a line of carriages containing the near relatives and personal friends of the deceased. Those who knew him best could hardly realize that the man was dead, who, but a few days ago, had cheered them with his flow of good humor an ever cheerful presence. The following Veterans acted as pall bearers: Aaron D. Treadway, R. W. Bollen, C. C. Billings, James Hunt, John Bradley and E. B. Zabriskie.

52 Galusha, Charles Obit. Death of Charles Galusha Morning Appeal, July 22, 1898 The Flag of the Capitol was at half mast yesterday because of the news from San Francisco that Adjutant General Galusha had died at the German Hospital. General Galusha was born in Kirkland Oneida county, New York on April 18, 1845 and was therefore 53 years and 3 months of age at the time of his demise. He was a member of Carson Lodge No. 1 F & A. M. , and of Custer Post, G. A. R. He was for many years connected with the Land Office in this city. Under the present administration of State affairs, he was appointed Adjutant General, in which position he has served faithfully and well. For some time he has been ill and it was evident to himself as well as his many friends that the end was not far distant. His daughter, Mrs. D. M. Jennison, will arrive in Carson this morning with the remains when the funeral arrangements will be made. It will, however, in all likelihood take place under the auspices of Carson Lodge, F. & A. M. , and will be a military funeral. Burial of General Galusna Morning Appeal, July 24, 1898 Adjutant C. H. General Galusha was buried by Carson Lodge, No. 1, F. & A. M. on Sunday. The services were opened by Worshipful Master Rulison at 1 o’clock. The coffin was draped with the American Flag and covered with floral emblems. The Episcopal choir sang “I Need Thee Every Hour, ” “Abide with Me” and the burial anthem. Chaplain J. B. Eddie Delivered a most appropriate and eloquent address, taking for his text, “From labor to refreshment, ” and the funeral cortege was then formed by Marshall P. B. Ellis and C. N. Noteware. The procession formed with 400 infantry in line, the Reno and Carson bands, the Governor and staff, members of the G. A. R. , the Masonic fraternity and members of the Eastern Star. The Masonic ceremony at the graveyard was very impressive. Chaplain Eddy read the ritual of the order and Judge Hawley delivered a very effective address. A detail of eight men then fired three volleys of musketry over the grave, and the ceremonies were completed. It was one of the largest funerals ever witnessed In Carson. The pall bearers were, M. A. Murphy, P. A. Doyle, Trenmor Coffin, Joseph Platt, Chas. Springmeyer, Charles Fulstone, James P. Woodbury and George Gilson, accompanied by a detail of eight privates from the Battalion of guards.

53 Gedney, Samuel A. Born: 16 Oct 1831 Location: New York Death: 1876* Location: Inscription: Capt. S. A. Gedney U. S. Navy Section: W 1 G Row 5 Plot 8 Military Data: U. S. Navy Captain, Government Transport – “Island City”* See notes – Page 54 Age: 32 *Note: the information identifying Samuel Gedney’s date of death came from the Carson Daily Index Newspaper, May 30, 1885 under “Roll of Honor at Cemetery Today” – he is listed as “Samuel A. Gedney, Captain Government Transport ‘Island City”. Died 1876. ” Place of Birth: New York I have been unable to locate an obituary that will substantiate this date. Census Data: 1860 Census – New York – Westchester Co. – Mamaronek Twp.

54 Gedney – some thoughts on military service…. (totally unsubstantiated – just an opinion) I believe that Sam Gedney was not actually in the Union Navy during the Civil War, but obviously captained one of the many transport steamers that were taken into United States government service, during the war, and used to transport troops, equipment, supplies, etc. It seems almost certain that he was employed by the U. S. government for this purpose, probably because he owned his own vessel. If this was the case then it is almost certain that he was actually employed by the U. S. Department of War, or perhaps even one of the other departments that may have required these vessels to be taken into service. According to the volume titled Dictionary of Transports and Combatant Vessels, Steam and Sail, Employed by the Union Army, 1861 -1868, compiled by Charles Dana Gibson and E. Kay Gibson, published 1995, by Ensign Press, Camden, Maine, there were four vessels of that name (Island City) employed by the U. S. government. One operated around South Carolina, Georgia and Florida during 1863 -1865, another was chartered September 16, 1864 to May 22, 1865 (no area of operations shown), the third operated in expeditions against the Sioux, on the Missouri River, in 1864, and the last one was chartered in 1861, for an unknown period, and was used to transport Confederate prisoners from Boston to Fort Monroe, Virginia. If Gedney was employed in government service for a lengthy period of time he may have claimed a pension after the war, and if so, there would be ample data shown in these documents, which can be obtained from the National Archives. There is no Samuel Gedney listed in the volume, List of Officers of the United States Navy, and of the Marine Corps, 17751900, compiled by Edward Callahan, so I think the fact that he was actually employed by the U. S. government, Department of War, can be safely assumed to be correct.

64 Hark, George - Obituary HARK DIES IN SPARKS Carson City Daily Appeal, April 28, 1909 SPARKS, April 28 – George Hark, Sr. , a pioneer of Nevada, and long time resident of Sparks, who was stricken with paralysis last Saturday evening, died last night at his home at 8: 42 o’clock without having regained consciousness. Mr. Hark was nearly 65 years of age and a native of Ohio. A wife Mrs. Francis Hark, and two children, Mrs. H. C. Mulcahey and George W. Hark, survive him. The obsequies have not yet been arranged. Hark was a pioneer of the West, a veteran of the Civil War, and a man honored and beloved by all who knew him. For 74 hours following a severe stroke, which rendered the entire right side of his body helpless, the unfortunate man hovered between life and death, unconscious. His final hour had been expected at any moment, the immediate family closely watching at his bedside. He was in the Palace meat market Saturday evening when suddenly he exclaimed, “I am tired, ” and sat down upon a box. A moment later he fell upon the floor, unconscious. This was the second attack of paralysis he had suffered. Mr. Hark crossed the plains during the Indian activities and settled in Virginia City where he remained several years. From there he went to Carson City where he conducted a meat market, later occupying the position of Chief Weigher at the United State Mint, a responsible position which he filled with credit. He came to Sparks four years ago and has resided here ever since. He was an active member of the Grand Army of the Republic, having served during the rebellion as a volunteer in the Ohio infantry. Aside from his immediate family his relatives reside in the East.

The lines were entitled “It Is Finished. ” It Is Finished Blighted, blighted, seared and withered, Is the last hope of my heart; Hope that I till now had cherished, Can I see it then depart? I had clung to it so fondly, Never dreaming it could blight, But its pale beams now have left me, Drooping low in darkest night. Crushed and broken, wildly throbbing, Is the heart within my breast, Sadly now with sorrow stricken, Joy will here no more find rest. I am weary, O! how weary, Of this vain world’s pomp and show: Though my lip with joy be smiling, Yet my heart is dark with woe. The eye may wear a cheerful light, The cheeks with health may glow, And yet the heart with grief be wrung, Breaking with its woe. See Death Notices and News Articles – Next Page

70 FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT A FREIGHT TRAIN ON THE V. & T. PLUNGES INTO THE RIVER _____ An Engine and Nineteen Dump Cars Wrecked _____ Road Master George F. Hayward Killed and Five Persons Injured. _____ A Stone Falling On The Track the Cause _____ Scenes at the Depot. _____ The Morning Appeal, Thursday, April 22, 1880 Yesterday afternoon at half past 1 o’clock a terrible accident occurred on the V. & T. Railroad between the Vivian and the Merrimac mills which resulted in the death of Geo. F. Hayward, Road Master, and injuries to Robert Dalton, engineer; Thomas Reily; fireman, Charles Thrall, conductor, Charles Harte and William Dailey, brakemen. The down freight train was rounding a curve halt a mile east of the Merrimac mill when it suddenly came upon two boulders which had been washed upon the track by the storm. The train consisted of two flat cars and nine ore dumps drawn by the engines Merrimac and Washoe, the Merrimac leading and containing Morris Lonergan, engineer, a man named Moody, the fireman and George H. Hayward, the Road Master of the V. & T. When the forward engine struck the boulder, which weighed about five tons, the trucks left the track and went to the right while the Washoe, lurching to the left, snapped the coupling and WENT OVER THE BANK. At this moment several ore cars piled themselves up alongside the Merrimac and against the bank, while the rocks, together with the flat cars, followed the engine down the bank and piled themselves in a heap in the river about sixty feet below. GEORGE HAYWARD KILLED. When the boulder was struck Road Master Hayward sprang off the engine to the right and fell in between the bank and the engine. A moment later a number of dump cars loaded with ore piled themselves upon him. He was heard to groan as the successive shocks crushed him, and as soon as possible he was taken out by the fireman and engineer of the Merrimac. When extricated from the wreck he was unable to speak, and in a few minutes he was dead. HOW THE OTHERS FARED. Robert Dalton, the engineer of the Washoe, remained with his engine when it left the track. It turned over and over as it went down the bank and finally Dalton was jostled out and left about ten feet from the water’s edge, while a number of heavy stones, started by the accident, were piled upon his chest. He is injured internally, and his head is badly cut. His recovery is uncertain, although last evening he rallied. Riley, the fireman, also rolled down the bank and was bruised about the face and legs. Hart was mangled in the leg. Willie Dailey, had his left wrist broken and his left hip and leg badly bruised. His face and hands were also severely lacerated. Charles Thrall, the conductor, had his head severely cut, but was able to walk after the accident. THE NEWS IN THE CITY. When the news reached the city there was a general gathering of people at the V. & T. depot, anxious to hear from the scene of the accident. A locomotive and passenger car was sent up at once to bring down the body of Mr. Hayward and the wounded men. Meanwhile the crowd kept increasing at the depot and the return of the relief car was impatiently awaited by the friends of these know to have been on board the freight train. (continued next page)

71 FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT A FREIGHT TRAIN ON THE V. & T. PLUNGES INTO THE RIVER (cont. ) (continued) THE WOUNDED BROUGHT IN. About 4 o’clock the car arrived. The body of Hayward was first taken out and placed in the baggage room. Dalton was laid on a stretcher and taken to his home in an omnibus. He was insensible at the time. One after another the men were taken out and carried to different conveyances to be removed to their homes. The sleet and snow were falling thickly at the time, and the canvas was piled over the wounded men to keep them from the storm. It was impossible to keep back the crowd, and the labors of those who moved the wounded were attended with the greatest difficulty. It was nearly 5 o’clock before the car was cleared, after which the crowd dispersed. A GRIEF STRICKEN WIFE. Coroner Foster and another gentleman, being Masons, were deputized to carry the mournful intelligence of Hayward’s death to his wife. She seemed to read the dreadful news in their faces, and when the tidings were communicated, as gently as possible, she broke forth in a paroxysm of grief, in which three children joined, ant the scene for a few minutes was harrowing beyond description. At 5 o’clock the body was brought to the house. The neighbors say that in the morning Mrs. Hayward begged her husband not to go as she feared something was going to happen. Mr. Hayward leaves a young wife and three children. He was a well know citizen of Carson, a kind affectionate husband his death will be keenly regretted by the community. THE DAMAGE. The Washoe engine is a total wreck and lies bottom side up in the Carson river. Ten ore dumps filled with Union ore and two flat cars lie in a heap beside it. All are badly broken up and the damage will be many thousands dollars. Had Mr. Hayward remained on the Merrimac with the engineer he would not have been killed. He doubtless, however, followed the impulse of the moment and did what nearly ninety-nine men of a hundred would have done under the circumstances. The inquest will be held to-day. The repairs to the track occupied nearly all night, and there was no down train from Virginia City last evening. ACCIDENT ON THE V. & T. RR Road Master George F. Hayward Killed and Five Persons Injured – An Engine and Twelve Cars Thrown Into the Carson River Reno Evening Gazette, April 22, 1880 At 1: 30 P. M. yesterday, the down freight train from Virginia, is rounding a curve near Merrimac, about 7 miles beyond Carson , struck a boulder which had fallen upon the track. The train was drawn by two engines. The after engine jumped the track and rolled down into the river, while the first remained on the grade. George Hayward, roadmaster, sprang from the engine just before the collision. A number of dump cars were piled upon him. When extricated he could not speak, and died in a few minutes. Robert Dalton, engineer of the Washoe, the engine that rolled into the river, remained on his engine until it fell down the bank. He was badly injured and his recovery is uncertain. All the train men were more or less injured. Mr. Hayward leaves a wife and three children. Mrs. Hayward is a sister of Mrs. Hilliard of Reno. Mr. Hayward was an estimable man, and his death is deeply deplored in Carson, where he lived, and by his many friends in Reno. The “Washoe” is a total wreck, lying bottom up in the Carson River. Ten ore dumps and two flat cars lie in a heap beside it. No trains came through Reno last night.

KITZMEYER The Morning Appeal, July 6, 1878 Yesterday there passed away from among us one of the truest and gentlest spirits that ever dwelt in all these regions of good men and true. Christian Kitzmeyer, long a sufferer from a never healing wounds received while he was serving his country under the Old Flag, in the war of the rebellion, taken sick from some sudden-coming cause, went to his bed and died. Something in the nature of a pneumonia, we learn. As patient and courageous a hear as ever beat was the heart of our dead friend. There never was a more enthusiastic nor a more modest soldier. He went out in a Maryland regiment, and did his duty like a hero. He has carried that wound all these weary years, and was never well of it. Yet he never complained, but stoutly took on the full part of a man, and worked and made a snug little competency for himself and a comfortable housing for his wife and babes. Good bye, Chris! Many is the soldier-boy on the other side of the Shadowy River who will give you the hearty greeting of a loving comrade. He died for his country and deserves a place among its heroes. They will bury him today.

82 Lee, Simeon L. Dr. S. L. Lee Is Summoned State Loses Valuable Citizen Carson City Appeal, Wednesday, January 12, 1927 This morning, about 9 o’clock, Dr. S. L. Lee, a pioneer resident of this state, and one of the best known physicians in Nevada, passed away at his home in this city. For the past two years his health has been failing, and he realized his condition and had made preparations for the end. He has been attending his office duties up to within a few days, his wife bringing him down each day, and to his friends and patients he insisted that the end was very near. He leaves a devoted wife, Mrs. Lola Montz Lee. USEFUL CAREER Dr. S. L. Lee had given the public one of the most useful careers of any of the professional men of the state. Coming to Nevada shortly after the Civil War he took up his practice in Pioche, serving the mining camp and surrounding section. He moved to Carson City in the early seventies and with his family made this city his residence. During his period of usefulness he made a study of vital statistics and through his efforts it became a part of legislative enactment. For years he served without pay and his records are the only ones available during the period when there was no provision made for such statistics. A COLLECTOR From the day he arrived in this state he has been busy collecting the various fine minerals, gems and Indian relics, until today his collection of only the finest specin=mentsremains the most complete and valuable in the state. Every scientist visiting this city in years has made the Doctor Lee office his headquarter owing to the variety , fine classification and selection of specimens from every nook and corner of this state. The collection is a fortune in itself and represents a life work. Of recent years, he turned lapidary and cut and polished many of the gems and fine specimens that are now contained in his collection. It has been a great pleasure to his friends to visit this display, which showed knowledge and patience. As a citizen, Dr. Lee had been one of the foremost of the state. All civic, state and national affairs were part of his existence, and with the tremendous amount of reading that he followed through life, he was a source of wonderful reliability when one wanted to know what happened in the world. He burned midnight oil so many years that the familiar light in his room will be missed with his passing. Dr. Lee had taken an active part in the Republican party lines and during the years of his activities was among the leaders of his party cause. Locally, he assisted in the directing of many of the improvement sand his home stands as one on the fine monuments to the man who wished to live and die in this city. His beautiful flowers were a passion and his tree planting will be an everlasting memorial to the fine citizen who had no fear of death and to the last spoke calmly of his departure with friends. Dr. Simeon L. Lee was born at Navdalia [sic] , Fayette County, Illinois, September 4 th, 1844, which makes his age 82 years. Following the death of his brother, who was killed in the Civil war, he took his brother’s place in the ranks and served under General John A. Logan. After the war he returned home where he was married to Lola Montez Wells in 1868. Three sons were born and all died after reaching manhood. In 1870 he received his medical degree from the Cincinnati Medical College and immediately moved West, where he made his continuous home. His useful life as a citizen and physician will always be a memory to the people of this city and over the state. It has been a great pleasure to know Dr. S. L. Lee. As a young man he joined the Masons and was a Shriner of the San Francisco lodge. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Masonic

87 Maish, Calvin - Obituary CARSONITE IS DEAD AT TAHOE Carson City Daily Appeal, June 25, 1913 Word came from Glenbrook last evening announcing the death of Calvin H. Maish, one of the pioneer residents of this city and western Nevada. Mr. Maish and family moved to Glenbrook early this spring as the old gentleman’s health was not the best and he longed for the outing in the pines and near the lake side. While his condition did not improve materially, yet no fatal results were anticipated. He sustained a paralytic stroke some time ago, and recently dropsical conditions developed in his left side, which resulted in his death. Cal Maish was among the early settlers in Carson. He came here about 48 years ago. He was then engaged in business with Nudge Mara in the building now known as the old laundry. He later conducted a furniture store over Benton’s stable, later being employed several years in the Mint. For the past several years he has maintained a general repair shop and his work was of the fine order, being of every class, and he was the handy man of this section. Mr. Maish and wife have made this city their home since they were married, the two children, Mrs. Davey and Arthur Maish, growing to their majority here. The family has the sympathy of the entire community. Cal Maish was a native of Kentucky, where he was born 74 years ago. He joined the Federal army at the outbreak of the war, being in the first call. For many years he was an enthusiast on military organizations, and was Captain of the local militia at one time. He took a keen interest in the old guards and their shooting records and was one of the best shots in the ranks. For the past few years he has kept pretty close to home as his business was at that place and his infirmities grew with his years. The remains will be brought to this city for interment. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Cal Maish will be missed by all who knew him. C. H. MAISH IS AT REST Carson City Daily Appeal, June 27, 1913 The funeral services of the late Calvin H. Maish took place this afternoon from the family residence. Score of friends congregated to pay their last respects to this pioneer resident and the bier was massed in flowers. The service at the home were conducted by Rev. Hornaday, which were most impressive. Leaving the home the members of the G. A. R. led the funeral procession, while the Spanish War Veterans were acting as an escort. The G. A. R. services were rendered at the grave. The choir which sang at the home and the grave was most sympathetic. The following acted as pall bearers: George H. Meyers, E. Mara, George Wilcox, Henry Rosenbrock, Andrew Mante and Charles Brulin.

90 Mc. Cullough, Frank - Obituary FRANK M’COLLOUGH DIES AT HOME LAST NIGHT Carson City Daily, June 15, 1912 and Reno Evening Gazette – 6/17/1912 Pioneer Carsonite Who Held Many Important Positions Answers Final Call Frank Mc. Cullough, one of the best known pioneer citizens of this city passed away at his home about midnight. His death was entirely unexpected and is a shock and regret to this community, where he spent the best days of his life. Last evening while at home he complained of a severe pain in his chest. Mrs. Cobb, who makes her home at the house, suggested that a physician be summoned. This was declined. She administered some medicine that had been used and also applied a plaster. Mr. Mc. Cullough insisted that she go to bed. She did go to her room and returned about an hour later. Upon entering the room she discovered that Frank Mc. Cullough had passed away. Death was due to neuralgia of the heart. Neighbors were summoned and all possible was rendered. Mrs. Cobb, who is 88 years of age is practically prostrated with grief and the shock. Frank Mc. Cullough had many good qualities. His generosity wrecked him financially. He would give even when it took away from his own comforts. This was the way throughout his entire life. No one in need applied and was turned away and he often went out of his path to give to others. It was a great virtue. He was a veteran of the Civil War. He enlisted in the 40 th Ohio, Company H, and served two year and ten months, and was honorably discharged. In his effects is a paper from his general complimenting him for bravery. He was a member of the local order of G. A. R. and the funeral will probably be held under the directions of the order. Deceased was a native of Springfield, Ohio. After the war he moved to California in the rush to the West. In 1868 he came to Nevada, locating in Dayton, where he had charge of a mill. He later took charge of the Merrimac mill and remained in the employ of the reduction company for many years. From that position he was appointed Warden of the Penitentiary where he served two terms, and was considered one of the most capable men who ever had charge of the institution. He was a Mason in high standing for many years and during his times of troubles the past few years failed to take an active part in the organization. He leaves one son, Frank Jr. , who has been telegraphed of the death. Arrangements for the funeral will be made as soon as word comes from the young man. Frank Mc. Cullough will be missed by many in many ways.

LETTER FROM LIEUT. COLONEL Mc. DERMIT Carson Daily Appeal, August 11, 1865 We herewith publish a letter received yesterday by Governor Blasdel from Lieut. Colonel Mc. Dermit. It is probably the last letter ever written by that lamented officer. We are indebted to Judge Wells, the Governor’s Private Secretary, for the liberty of giving it publicity: HEADQUARTERS – SUBDISTRICT OF NEVADA Queen’s River Station, Aug. 1, 1865 GOVERNOR: I returned to this Station on yesterday evening, from the Owyhee River, Idaho Territory. The Indians will not meet us in Butte. We have driven them out of the State of Nevada to the Territory of Idaho, near the head waters of the Owyhee river, where they divided into two parties, the larger traveled northwest, and the other one we followed to the Humboldt River, above Gravelly Ford, where we took sixty-three prisoners, principally old men, women and children. The Thieves crossed the river. I sent a detachment of twenty-five men, Company E, Nevada Cavalry, under Lieut. Littlefield, and twelve men of Company B. Nevada Infantry, under Lieutenant Seamand, in pursuit, who followed them into Utah Territory, where they succeeded in killing seven of the most desperate of the party. We left the Humboldt River on the 11 th of July for Queen’s River, and arrived at this Station on the 23 rd of July, and on the 25 th I sent an escort of twenty men, Company I C. C. V. , under Lieut. Tagge, to protect forty-two citizens through to Idaho mines. On the 27 th I also ordered an escort of fifteen cavalry to go through to the same point with another party of citizens, six freight teams from Chico, Cal. , and a drove of 900 cattle. At the same time, I ordered out three scouting parties of twenty-five men each to hunt for Indians. I went with Captain Payne’s party to the Owyhee, where we surprised a party of ten Indians on the morning of the 28 th. We succeeded in killing eight of the number. We then returned in a westerly direction for this camp. On the 30 th a part of our command under Serg’t Van Nostrand, Company E Nevada Cavalry, came across a party of twenty-five or thirty Indians and killed nine of their number. The balance of our party followed by the trail of the main party of mounted Indians, who went north after fighting Captain Wells. We discovered that it was the same party who attacked twenty citizens on the 3 rd of July at the head of Queen’s River Valley, Oregon, on their way to the Boise mines, in which Jackson, of Virginia City, was killed, and three others wounded. From this point they have proceeded in the direction of White or Snow Mountains, State of Oregon, where I am now preparing to follow them. I have traveled now some 1200 miles since I left Fort Churchill and expect to continue the pursuit until I succeed in catching and punishing these marauders. We have killed thirty-two Indians since I took the field, and have had one man wounded and one horse killed. Since writing the above I have been officially informed that a detachment of Company I, Second C. C. V. , and a detachment of Co. D Nevada Cavalry, had a fight with some twenty-five or thirty Indians in Paradise Valley, Nevada. They succeeded in killing seventeen Indians. One soldier was killed and four wounded. Very respectfully, your most obedient servant, C. Mc. Dermit, Lieut. Col. 2 nd C. C. V. , Com’g. His Excellency Gov. H. G. Blasdel, Carson City, Nevada

100 Mighels, Henry Rust DEAD The Morning Appeal, May 29, 1879 Henry R. Migels, editor and proprietor of the Morning Appeal, died at his residence on Tuesday night, at half-past eleven o’clock. The writer of this, between whom and the deceased the strongest possible friendship existed for twenty-seven years, has solicited the privilege of using this column of the APPEAL in which briefly to sketch the life, and speak of the character of the man so many thousands loved, the leader so confidingly followed, the friend so loyal, the enthusiast so wedded to noble connections, the hero in whose breast reigned a spirit which death alone could quench. Mr. Mighels was born in Maine, November 3, 1830. Received an academic education. Removed with his parents to Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1847. Studied medicine for a year with his father, and at the same time acquiring some knowledge of painting in oils, an art of which he was ever after very fond, and for which he had much talent. Started for California in August, 1850, tarrying at Nicaragua for a winter, where he kept a hotel in partnership with a fellow voyager. Thence to Panama, where, for two months, he was very sick with a tropical fever. Sailed thence to California in 1851, on the steamer Panama, paying his way by serving as assistant storekeeper. From his arrival until 1856, he was variously employed, laboring as a ditch-digger in Nevada, and as a sign and decorative painter in Downieville, Marysville, Bidwell’s Bar and Oroville. In the fall of 1856 he became assistant editor of the Butte Record. In 1857, for a time, was a local editor of the Sacramento Bee. Returned to Butte Record, in 1858, and was a candidate that year for Assembly, on the anti-Lecompton, or Broderick ticket. He was defeated after a spirited canvass, in which he spoke with a force and ability which gave a good earnest of the work of after years. In 1859 he was a writer on the San Francisco National. In 1860 the Marysville Appeal was established, and he was its first editor. It was independent politically, and was, under his editorship, brilliant, witty and able. In 1860 he visited the East, and at the home of his mother, at Norway, Maine, met the lady who subsequently became his wife. He returned to California the same year. The events which immediately followed the Presidential election of that year controlled his career from that time till the end of life. He was an ardent Unionist, and his desire to enter the army was intense. As California presented no field for real service he went East early in 1862, and in May of that year in a letter to the writer of this, said: WASHINGTON, D. C. , May 23, 1862 “Dear ____: I have been outrageously neglectful about writing to you. But so I have been with everybody else since coming here. And you know what whirlwind of excitement everything and everybody is in, hereabouts, and in fact all over the land -this side- so you will know how to understand my case. Well, like the lamented Johnny in the son, I “have gone for a soger. ” At the instance of our never-to-be-too-much-esteemed and valued friend, Joe Mc. Kibben, I was appointed an Assistant Adjutant General with the rank of Captain and assigned to General Strugis’ staff. Joe suggested the matter to Sturgis, Sturgis made application to the War Department. Latham rushed the matter up to the notice of the President, Abe made the appointment, the Senate confirmed it, and here I am with buttons all over me, a Captain in the “Grand Army!” I am very lucky. Sturgis is athorough soldier – of the old army – and one of the bravest and best fellows living. My position and our mutual feeling of friendship and congeniality makes me his confidential adviser, friend and companion. I joined his command at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where Halleck had sent him about six weeks ago. ” His career in the army was marked by the abilities occasioned by wounds received in battle, in November (or October) 1864. Mr. Mighels returned to San Francisco in April, 1865, and upon a telegram from the late A. W. Nighingilll, his staunch friend, came to Carson to edit the APPEAL. In the sketch already alluded to he said, “The history of that paper is my own, since that time. ”

101 Mighels, Henry Rust DEAD (continued) The Morning Appeal, May 29, 1879 After a few months of this employment, he became part owner of the APPEAL, and finally its sole proprietor-as he had from the beginning been its sole edit. August 20, 1866, he was married to Miss Verrill; and to her, and the four children born to them, he was passionately devoted, making his wife his partner and confidential adviser in all his affairs, whether of politics or business. From 1866 to 1878 inclusive, his great force of mind and his political sagacity, which grew with every contest, until he became a consummate organizer and leader of men and of opinion, were enlisted in the cause of the Republican party. In the election of the United State Senate of Nye in 1867, Stewart in 1869, Jones in 1873, Sharon in 1875 and Jones again in 1879, his strong will, ready resources, and powerful person influence were elements of commanding importance. In 1868 he was chosen State Printer. In 1876 he was elected from Ormsby County to the Assembly, of which body he was chose Speaker by acclamation. This unusual tribute was well bestowed, for in the Speaker’s chair, he instantly and as if by intuition, brought to its duties the same brilliant rapidity of intellectual processes, and the same strong sense and spirit of control, which he had shown in other places. At the end of a session at which his rulings were uniformly sustained, he was presented with different testimonials by the two parties and the attaches. In 1878 he was the nominee of the Republican party for Lieutenant Governor. He was the leader of the party in the canvass, and his grand enthusiasm carried all before it except that by reason of treachery within the party he was himself defeated. This undeserved and unnatural blow from those who should have been strong in his support was not sufficient to break or diminish his spirit. The session showed that it did not impair his influence. He organized and led a very powerful movement in that body, for the regulation of freights and fare on the railroads of the State. Though the measure did not succeed, the marvelous exhibition of pluck, will and organization, made by our friend called forth every resource of his antagonists to prevent it. Mr. Mighels was a writer of great versatility. In his writings will be found vehement appeal, subtle arguments, fierce invective, and crushing irony when foes were to be dealt with, while in the presence of nature, he was full of sweetest poetry, and at the call of human sufferings and wrongs as gentle and kindly as mercy itself. The limits of this notice do not permit anything like an analysis of his character. But all who knew him will bear witness to the truth that he was tender and brave, loyal and true. His lion heart has ceased to beat. His generous hand lies still in death. His fiery spirit no more inhabits the pleasant earth which he loved so well. His presence will no longer inspire his fellows in Nevada when the political battle rages. His home will be no more graced with his royal presence, but there will dear memories of hi linger to soften the frief which is now too deep to be touched by human sympathy, and to inspire his fatherless boys with a desire to emulate the virtues of their sire. It seems like harshly and unkindly leaving him alone in his coffin for me to pause. But grief should be private. Therefore, dear friend, tender father, proud and loving husband, incorruptible citizen, sterling patriot, brave soldier, dauntless leader, wise thinker, farewell, you did not go “___ like the quarry slave at night. Scourged to his dungeon, but ____ Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and llies down to pleasant dreams. ” G.

The remains were incased in a handsome casket, with silver mountings and an appropriately engraved plate. The body was well laid out, and the face had lost none of the soft lines. All who so desired were allowed to view the remains and many a G. A. R. veteran hovered near to secure a last look. The funeral ceremonies will take place from the Episcopal church today at 2 o’clock under the auspices of the G. A.

(1) Death of Major Scoville The Morning Appeal, Tuesday, October 1, 1881 Major S. C. Scoville, shot in the Reno affray on last Tuesday, died yesterday at 11 o’clock, A. M. But slight hopes were entertained of his recovery from the first, and the news of his death yesterday caused sorrow but no surprise. We have been unable to learn any particulars on his early life, as no one here seems to know where or when he was born. We should judge, however, that he was an Eastern man, and about 35 years old or upwards. He served creditably in the late war; and was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, a member at one time, we believe, of Custer Post No. 5 of Carson. In 1869 he went to Sacramento, from some of the Eastern states, held a clerical position in the office of the C. P. R. R. and came to Carson in 1875, where for a time he held the place of Chief Clerk in the freight department of the V. & T. R. R. He afterwards was bookkeeper in this city for Yerington, Bliss & Co. From here he went to Reno, where he held the position of Secretary of the N. & O. R. R. up to the time of his tragic taking off. He leaves a wife and two young children, Mrs. Scoville being a daughter of Major M. C. Gardner of this place. He was a man of good moral character, strong in his friendships, and had many friends here who sincerely regret his death and its cruel cause. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 2 o’clock at Reno from the Episcopal Church.

120 Scoville, Squire C. – News Article RENO SHOOTING AFFRAY Conflicting Statements in Regard to the Affair Scoville and Balch Supposed to be Mortally Wounded-Judicial Examination Today Morning Appeal, September 29, 1881 Since our issue yesterday we have received the Reno papers, the Gazette of the 27 th and the Journal of the 28 th instants, giving lengthy but very contradictory accounts of the shooting affray at Reno on Tuesday last, in which D. W. Balch and S. C. Scoville were wounded. There has been bad blood of late between the two factions trying to obtain control of the Nevada and Oregon Railroad, and the murderous work of Tuesday last was no great surprise to those familiar with the sharp legal practice resort to by both parties. The Gazette, speaking of the meeting of that day, and other matters, says: “It seems that Trustees Mc. Mechan, Coffin, Wheeler and Sunderland issued to themselves 50, 000 shares of stock, at a recent meeting. Contractor Moore thereupon brought suit and enjoined them from voting or transferring that stock. The case was then transferred to the United States District Court. When the meeting was called to-day, E. B. Wheeler had in his pocket an order from the United States District Court, E. W. Hillyer presiding, modifying the injunction that issued from the First Judicial District Court some days ago, enjoining Wheeler, Coffin, Mc. Mechan and Sunderland from voting their stock at the stockholders meeting that was to have been held to-day, so far as the voting of the stock went, and allowing the defendants to vote their stock, but he did not produce it or mention it in the meeting. ” The Gazette give three versions of the shooting affray, all differing in every important particular, and each colored in the interests of one or the other of the parties to the shooting. The Journal says: “At the appointed time the Wheeler crowd were in the railroad office, waiting for the Moore faction to show their hands and then euchre them. Judge Wheeler, as President of the N. and O. , sat at the desk prepared to preside over the meeting. The other side presented themselves, and Mr. Fowler of New York, who is the largest stockholder in the company, requested all persons not stockholders to retire from the room. He looked at the Wheeler crowd, but none of them moved. He repeated his request. Judge Wheeler rapped on the table, and said: ‘The meeting will come to order. ’ Just about this time a man named Cogan, Moore’s Superintendent of Construction, and some eight or ten other men filed into the room from the outer office, and somebody grabbed Mechanan. In a second a pistol was fired, and shooting commenced. The Directors who hadn’t expected this fled from the room as quickly as possible, and there was a general hurrying to and fro. Balch and Scoville were the only two found to have been injured. Scoville and Balch, both of whom are supposed to be mortally wounded, made ante-mortem statements. Balch declared to a friend, with whom the writer spoke yesterday, that Wheeler shot him, repeating the statement three times as he held the hand of his friend. Wheeler denies having done any shooting, and says he had no pistol. Scoville says he was shot by Coffin. Four pistols are in the possession of the officers, three of which are loaded, the other one showing only three chambers discharged. There must have been some clever juggling performed soon after the shooting, as the Journal accounts for eight bullets, as follows: Two in Balch, one in Scoville, one picked up by Sunderland, one by Allen, one went through a windows, and two were imbedded in the partitions of the railroad office. Major M. C. Gardner, father-in-law of S. C. Scoville, went to Reno yesterday by special train, on the strength of a telegram stating that Mr. Scoville was fatally wounded and might live two or three days. Transcribers notes: the shooting, the coroner’s report, and the entire trial transcripts are available (starting date: September 27 th) in the Reno Evening Gazette – very interesting reading!

Scoville, Squire C. IN MEMORIAM. The Sad Death of one of the Victims Of Last Tuesday’s Work Squire Chase Scoville Died at his residence on Ralston street at 10: 55 this morningof a wound received on Tuesday last at the meeting of the Nevada and Oregon railroad stockholders. Last night the District Attorney called and he made his dying statement, but it is impossible to learn what it contained. The manner of his hurt will doubtlless be settled in the courts. The bedside of the dying man was attended by his aged father and mother, who have lived together over fifty years, and by his young wife and his doctor. Consciousness never forsook him until his life was entirely extinct. He recognized friends up to the last moment, and as the poor wife laid her head upon the pillow touching his it was a picture of pathetic sorrow. Mr. Scoville was born in Watertown, Jefferson county, New York, February 8, 1845. He was well educated at the public schools. In 1863 he enlisted in the Tenth heavy artillery, which was made up of 2, 600 young men of his stamp, and served until the war closed. He came to this coast in 1869, was the chief clerk for J. R. Watson, the purchasing agent for the C. P. R. R. at Sacramento for eight years. About 1877 he came to Carson and kept books for Yerington and Bliss. Last January he came to Reno and was connected with the Nevada and Oregon R. R. until his death. In Carson he married Miss Helen Gardner, who has bore him two children, one about two years and one about three months old. Mr. Scoville was an excellent business man, and the books he had collected spoke a mind of high culture and discimination. He was a major on General Batterman’s staff, and made a request that he be buried in his uniform. He was a quiet and sober man, of good disposition, fond of his friends and a pleasant and hearty entertainer. His house was always popular with young people, and he will be greatly missed.

TILTON, who was injured with others by the premature discharge of a gun on the 4 th of July, is at the Adams House. He underwent yesterday an operation at the hands of Doctors Davidson and White. They extracted from over his left eye some large splinters and pieces of bone. His right eye is hopelessly gone. He can distinguish the difference between light and darkness with his remaining eye. Dr. Davison thinks his life will be saved. His general health has improved and he eats well. Strong hopes are entertained of saving the eye which was operated on yesterday.

133 Tilton, John M. - Accident A Terrible Accident Carson Daily Appeal, July 6, 1876 It becomes our painful duty to report one of the most fearful accounts that ever occurred in Carson – one that has thrown a glom over this entire community. It came too, with the suddenness of lightning, when the whole community were in the height of enjoyment of the greatest celebration, and most engrossing festivities ever known here. And it occurred to some of our fellow citizens that were participating in the most exciting part of the celebration. It is no less than the sudden death of one man and the maiming of three others. About 5 o’clock, on the evening of the Fourth, while some men, including the victims of the accident, were engaged in firing the new cannon owned by the railroad employees at the machine shops, the gun prematurely discharged while it was being loaded, and Mr. Frank A. Bolander had both his arms blown off, one at the shoulder, and the other at the elbow and shattering the bone higher up. He was also dreadfully mutilated in the breast and face, the chin, nose and cheek being partially torn away and his eyes fearfully injured by powder and splinters. He was thrown some distance into the sand. Partially rising, he exclaimed, “Where are my arms? ” He was immediately taken to his room and Drs. Davison, Waters and White summoned. He bore his sufferings with wonderful nerve , and lived about twelve hours, expiring about 5 o’clock yesterday morning. He was about 25 years of age, unmarried, and has a mother living in San Francisco, and an uncle who is State Superintendent of Public Education of California. His relatives were telegraphed to, but no response could be obtained previous to his death, and not until late yesterday afternoon. The body was sent to San Francisco by last night’s train. Coroner John P. Meder held an inquest upon the body. John M. Ingraban, Joseph Calenberti, B. Sinclair, James C. Smith, James S. Bemis and Charles F. Whitton were the jury. They rendered a verdict that the deceased was named Frederick A. Bolander; a native of Kentucky, about twenty-five years of age; that he came to his death from a premature discharge of a cannon which he was engaged in loading; that the discharge was occasioned by insufficient swabbing; (see transcriber’s note at bottom) that the accident took place at Carson City on the 4 th day of July, 1876. All of which is duly certified to. Another of the injured ones is J. M. Tilton, whose left hand is filled with powder and his face blacked and eyes greatly injured. He is at the Adams House, attended by Dr. Davison. He is perhaps 35 years of age, and unmarried. He will probably recover and it is hoped he will not lose his sight. The third one we notice is a Mr. Reed. His eyes were blown full of sand, and from what we can learn is not otherwise very seriously injured. Is an employee at the machine shop. The other man is Mr. Henderson, a moulder at the shops. Both hands were much injured. Will perhaps lose a thumb. His eyes are also severely injured. From the testimony before the Coroner’s jury yesterday, we learn some further particulars regarding the accident. Joseph Irwin was attending the vent of the cannon at the time of the discharge. He was thrown violently upon his back. They had no water at the gun and the swab was dry and worn out. A boy had been sent for water but had not returned. The gun was used at midnight of the 3 rd and twenty-six rounds fired. At sunrise thirty more rounds. Just previous to the fatal discharge twelve rounds had been fired. The gun was a twelve or fourteen pounder. Transcriber’s Note: “insufficient swabbing” means the cannon was not effectively cleaned and the gunpowder residue left in the cannon ignited.

140 BEARD OF WILCOX TO BE SENT TO SACRAMENTO Reno Evening Gazette, January 1, 1927 CARSON, Jan 1 – (Special) Zachary Taylor Wilcox famous here and throughout the state and the West for his long beard, died here yesterday at the age of seventy-nine years. His beard, fifteen feet in length, was declared to be the second longest beard in the country, a Kansas farmer at a Whiskerino affair in Sacramento four years ago having outmeasured the Carson man by nearly seven feet. It was after the Sacramento Whiskerino of four years ago last summer that Wilcox came home and drew up a will in which he bequeathed his beard to the Sacramento Whiskerino Club. Just before interment the beard will be shorn, and later sent to the Sacramento organization in compliance with his will. Wilcox was born in Whittingham, Vt. , in April 1847. When seventeen years old he enlisted with F Company, First Vermont cavalry. At the end of the war he came West, first settling in Chico, Cal. , and later removing to Nevada. He was a brick mason by trade, inter engaging in the cement contracting business and he also followed the work of a gunsmith. He had been a pioneer of the Alaska gold rush but did not follow mining in this state to any extent. He was one of Carson’s characters for years riding through the streets on a bicycle, an old green parrot perched upon the handlbars. The parrot belonged to Mrs. Minnie Cusler with whom Wilcox had made his home with for many years. He had not ridden the bicycle since his injury, caused when an automobile backed into him as he was riding down the street. Although proud of his ---- adornment, Wilcox did not display his beard, generally keeping it under his coat, although he did exhibit it publicly on a few occassions. The reason for growing the long beard never became known, although Carson residents had heard stories to the effect that it was over an election bet, and also that he had once become incensed at a dull razor and vowed never to shave again. He was a Civil War pensioner and was enabled to get along nicely on this income during his declining years. He had been in a hospital since December 5. He had no known relatives.

147 Zabriskie, Elias Breevort DEATH OF E. B. ZABRISKIE He Passes Quietly Away Sunday Afternoon of Heart Failure The Morning Appeal, Tuesday, June 12, 1894 About 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon the spirit of one of Nevada’s well known pioneers passed away so suddenly and quietly that friends who were conversing with him hardly knew when the call came. Elias B. Zabriskie, better known as “Buck, ” has been a resident of this state since the early days of the Comstock discovery. When the war broke out he recruited and was made Captain of Co. A 1 st Nevada Volunteers, which was sent to Utah to keep that Territory from a threatened uprising. After three year’s service he was mustered out on July 5 th 1866. He remained several years in Utah, but finally drifted back to Nevada where he has since resided. He held a clerical position under Mr. James Crawford’s Superintendency, and has been Melter and Refiner of that institution during the past five years. Saturday afternoon he finished his work at the Mint, made his last “clean up” and turned over the office to his successor. Although not in perfect health he was not a sick man and expected to go into some sort of business in this State, saying that he preferred this climate and people to any other. In his early manhood, under the guidance of his father, the late Dr. Zabriskie, he served as a soldier, in the 4 th Illinois Infantry, in the Mexican war, and although a member of the Grand Army, always appeared with the few Mexican Veterans in their annual parade on decoration day. He was also a member of the Loyal Legion, the Scottish Rite of Masonry, and Carson Lodge of F. & A. M. under whose auspices the funeral will be conducted. A widow and son are left to mourn the sudden taking off and will receive the sympathy of the entire community. ’ Deceased was a native of Hackensack, New Jersey, and about 68 years old. “Buck” was a gentleman of the old school, genial, well-bred, courteous, and endowed with a kindliness of heart which made him always the welcome guest and congenial companion. Every child whom he met daily will long remember the kindly smile and pleasant word, while older friends will miss the warm handclasp and cheerful voice with most sincere regret. “Green grow the grass above thee Friend of my better days, None knew thee but to love thee, None named thee but to praise. ”

148 “Re-interring Nevada’s Unknown Dead” The “unknown dead”, on February 17, 1885, that is how the Fort Churchill soldiers were referred to. On February 16, 1885 those who had been buried at Fort Churchill were reinterred at the Lone Mountain Cemetery in the G. A. R. section – the number varies from one newspaper account to another (between thirty six and forty-four) but one fact rang true, with the exception of Charles Mc. Dermit and his child, the identities of the others had been lost over time. Each Ft. Churchill grave had been clearly marked with a wooden headstone that had, over the previous twenty years, been reduced to carved pieces of wood. The white paint, gone, and the names of who the graves held, lost. The following are several articles written on the re-interment of the Ft. Churchill souls. I have also researched the Ft. Churchill muster rolls to determine who died while in military duty from 1863 – 1866. Though it can’t be proven that all of these men were buried at Ft. Churchill, it should account for at least some of those who were re-interred to Lone Mountain….

Chas. E. Laughton, Marshal The Second Burial Territorial Enterprise, February 17, 1885 Parade in Carson Yesterday to receive the Remains of the Fort Churchill Dead Carson kept public holiday yesterday in honor of the memory of the dead. The bodies of thirty-six soldiers, buried at Fort Churchill twenty years or more ago, were yesterday reinterred in the Grand Army plot in that town. Congress appropriated $1, 000 for the transfer of the remains, and the Legislature of Nevada $200 to be expended in paying due honors to the dea on their arrival at the State capital. The weather was highly favorable for a successful parade. The Legislature adjourned for the day out of respect for the occasion. The procession formed in front of the State house at noon, and under the marshalship of Lieutenant Govenor Laughton, marched out to the cemetery. The column consisted of the militia companies of Carson and Reno, a section of the Nevada Battery, the Grand Army Posts of Virginia, Carson and Reno, the Mexican Veterans, the members of the Legislature, the children of the Orphans’ Home and public school children of Carson, Cara; s band the Reno band furnished the music. The militia made a good appearance. The remains of thirty-six soldiers were inclosed in wooden boxes, piled one on top of another on a dray, the grim freight being draped with white cloth, festooned with black strips. The body of Colonel Mc. Dermitt, inclosed in a metal casket and covered with the American flag was born on a Caisson. The white gloved Senators, Assemblymen and legislative attaches followed on foot in pairs, each man wearing crape on the left arm. The Veterans carried flags. The drums were muffled. The Marshal and his Aides were mounted. At 1 o’clock p. m. the ceremonies began at the cemetery. The trenches were dug, one to hold fifteen bodies and two to hold six each. The Chaplain of Mitchell Post opened the proceedings with a prayer, and the Rev. George R. Davis conducted the Episcopal Church burial services. Minute guns were fired as the remains were lowered into their final resting place. The ceremonies were over, the troops and civilians marched back to town to lively music, and were dismissed at the point of formation. An agent of the General Government, who came on from Washington for that purpose, was present to see that everything was done up in good shape. Quite a number of visitors from Virginia and Gold Hill were also present.

“DUST TO DUST” Returning Nevada’s Unknown Dead The Ceremonies Over the Soldiers Remains from Fort Churchill Morning Appeal, February 17, 1885 “A Solemn and Impressive Scene at the Cemetery Yesterday” The ceremony of re-interring the remains of the soldiers who died in the early Indian wars of Nevada, was performed yesterday with appropriate surroundings and an imposing military and civic display in this city. Out of respect for the event all business houses in Carson were closed, the Capitol flag was hung at half-mast, and the population of this city united with the representatives of every town in the State to make the event memorable and striking. The depositing of the remains in the cemetery was under the auspices of Custer Post No. 5. THE PARADE was under the command of Lt. Gov. Laughton, assisted by Governor Morrison of Ormsby, Chief Aide; Captain Armburst of Storey, Captain Stears of White Pine, T. F. Laycock of Washoe and General Williamson of Lander, assistant aides. Reno furnished a military company and band at its own expense. Virginia City was represented by General Forman and staff. Captain Mathewson and staff. Captain Lord and regimental staff. Captain Coulter with one section of Battery A, Nevada Artillery. The order of marching was as follows: FIRST DIVISION – Marshall and Aids. Major. General Charles Foreman and Staff. Brigadier. General J. W. Mathewson and Staff. Colonel Lord, commanding 1 st Regiment, Field and Staff. SECOND DIVISION – Company F, Nevada National Guard, escort. Section Battery A, Nevada National Guard, escort. Remains of Volunteer Soldiers. Mexican Veterans, Custer Post No. 5, G. A. R. Phil Kearney Post No. 10, G. A. R. O, . M. Mitchell Post No. 69, G. A. R. THIRD DIVISION – State Officers. Members of Legislature and attaches. County and city officers. Children of Public Schools. Citizens on foot. Carriages. The procession was over a mile long and much the same, except the floral display, as the Decorations Day processions of former years. The day was as perfect as could be asked for, and an exceptional one for the season of the year full of warmth and sunshine. AT THE TRENCHES. The place prepared for the reception of the dead, was at the north side of the cemetery. Three trenches had been dug about 30 ft. long and six deep and at the bottom of these trenches were small excavations for each separate coffin. The military formed about the trenches in a hollow square and the burial ritual was read by the Rev. George R. Davis, Chaplain of the day. Major Mc. Dermit still remained the iron casket in which they were buried, at Fort Churchill. They were lowered at the head of the west trench and draped colors of the companies being lowered over the coffin as it rested in the grave. At the words “Dust to Dust”, the gun of Battery A began its salute, firing thirteen shots in all. The choir consisting of J. Owens, Nat Dow, Ben Edson and Dean Hatch sang with fine effect “How Sleep the Brave? ” “ Abide With Me”, and at close of the ceremonies the crowd numbering about three thousand persons sang “America” led by National Guard Band the choir. 150

151 Continued - “DUST TO DUST” Returning Nevada’s Unknown Dead The Ceremonies Over the Soldiers Remains from Fort Churchill (continued) Morning Appeal, February 17, 1885 A PICTURESQUE SCENE – during the service the scene was peculiar for the picturesque effect of its surroundings. In the vicinity of the spot where the service was performed and not over a hundred yards from it, rises an abrupt rocky prominence over two hundred feet high. It is composed of huge boulders and masses of broken, jutting rocks, and this mound from base to summit was crowded with people of all classes and descriptions. Upon the larges boulder a group of Indians were gathered, and there was scarcely a rock that did not afford seating accomodations for scores of men, women and children, producing a scene noticed by everybody. As the ceremonies began, the sun which had been showing full upon the cemetery all the morning, was overclouded, and the cloud passed from the face of the sun exactly as the ceremonies were concluded. THE UNKNOWN DEAD – while the regular burial services were in progress only one coffin, that containing the remains of Major Mc. Dermitt, was placed in the ground. When the crowd dispersed the remains of the unknown soldiers were buried. It would have resulted in too long a service and too much confusion, to have had it otherwise, and the crush was so great about the trenches that Mr. J. A. Conboie and his assistants could not have performed the work. The remains were all brought to the cemetery in one large wagon drawn by four horses. Although there were forty-two boxes of remains, they only contain the bones and did not weigh over twenty-five pounds apiece. The headboards, such as had escaped the ravages of the weather and natural decay, were brought from Fort Churchill with the remains. They were plain, pine boards about two inches thick, and fashioned in the shape of a headstone. The lower portion were nearly all rotted away and the wind and rain had obtiterated every vestage of inscription. Even the white paint originally upon the boards had disappeared, and there was nothing to be seen but the bare grain of the wood. As far as any possibility of identifying the remains of any particular person is concerned, except Major Mc. Dermitt’s and his infant child, there appears to be none. They represent men killed in battle with the savages, and who died from hardship and exposure at a time when Nevada was but a Territory and thinly populated, and it is not improbable that over many of these soldiers, no burial services were ever before performed.

152 Fort Churchill Soldiers Who Died During the War- Cavalry The forty-four soldiers that were reinterred from Ft. Churchill to Lone Mountain in May 1831 are, for the most part, unidentified. Lt. Col. Charles Mc. Dermit, C. C. V. A. , does have a headstone, the rest have headstones that read “U. S. Soldier”. I have included the names of those who served the Nevada Volunteers from Ft. Churchill and who had passed away for various reasons prior to being mustered out. I don’t know if they are or are not buried in the “US Soldier” graves but assume that many of them are. There are thirty-one names here, the rest in the cemetery may have been California soldiers whose final records were not in the Ft.
