Notes - In 1848, the news of discovery of gold in California reached the Ohio Valley. The next spring, in 1849, thousands joined the Gold Rush. For ten years George W. Forrester struggled to overcome the desire, but in 1859 he departed for the gold fields of the West. The last word from him was received by his wife in July 1869, when he was in Elko, Nevada, on his way to White Pines Mines in Nevada. It is supposed he was murdered by Indians.
