  • Notes 
    • Died of small Pox

      Francis died of small pox on January 27, 1869, and his wife, Ellen had only the doctor to help her bury her husband, since everyone else was too filled with dread of the disease, to come near. Twenty years later on January 27, 1889, Ellen wrote in her diary: "Since the frost melted, the day has been warm & lovely. So unlike this day twenty years ago when dark clouds, sleet and a bleak wind swept the plain, fit emblem for what was passing in my home and heart as we laid my first love to his long, last rest, near the banks of the Tuolumne River at Empire City."
