He died abt 12/13/1879 and was found frozen to death on the path to his cabin near his claim. I know that he isn't buried in the family plot in Vermont so he must have been buried in Leadville. Any help much appreciated...I live in Florida and won't be getting to Colorado anytime soon. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
