A native of PA, he arrived in the Mother Lode Country of CA just after the close of the civil war and spent his early life minng in that state, making the rounds of the mining camps and finally assisting in putting in some of the first equipment in the old Dundenberg Mine in Momo County when that property was first placed on production. He served during the Spanish American War with Company E, First Engineers in the Regular Army from 1898 - 1901. He then came to the state of Nevada and worked on the Lucky Boy property in 1909, spending the remainder of his life in the mines and surrounding area of Mineral county. Having a rugged constitution, he enjoyed good health until his last illness, and only recently, during the construction of the CCC camp here, he was employed as a laborer digging water ditches and held his own with much younger men despite his advanced age. A military funeral wil be held at the Hawthorne Cemetery on Tuesday (23 Jan 1934) under the auspices of the Spanish American War veterans, of which organization he was a member. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NV-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
