I thought someone might be looking for a missing relative who disappeared during the Gold Rush. Came across this while looking for my Dodavah and felt it needed to be posted. Hope it tears down someone’s “brick wall”
Extracted from the Weekly Stockton Democrat Newspaper published in: Stockton, San Joaquin Co., CA: Date: May 9 1858
SAD ACCIDENT -- We learn from Dr. DAVIS, of Red Dog, says the Nevada ‘Journal,’ that a miner named Dodavah HAM was killed on the morning of the 23d ult., in Greenhorn Canon, near that place. He was walking across a flume 6 or 8 feet above the creek, when the flume gave way, precipitating him into the creek. One of the boxes in its fall struck him on the back of his head and neck, almost instantly depriving him of life. He continued to breathe only 10 or 15 minutes. By letters in his possession we learn that he had a wife and 5 children residing in Thorton, Grafton county, New Hampshire.
