Lockjaw
Geo H McNeil, an old soldier, died at the hospital yesterday forenoon. It seems he fell and hurt his head, pretty badly a few nights ago. Yesterday morning, as had been his custom, he went to the Fountain Saloon to assist in sweeping out and putting things in order. He complained of not feeling well, and soon after his jaws became set. Mr Lewis, steward of the hospital, was telephoned for, and came down and removed the sufferer to the hospital, where he soon after expired.

October
News Article:
The exhuming of human remains always irritates a sensation, and a slight one was experienced yesterday when some men digging near the flouring mill came upon a coffin containing the skeleton of a man. Upon inquiry of old residents it was ascertained that the remains were those of J R Thorpe, a doctor, who died here a great many years ago and was buried where found. The coffin and contents should have been properly reinterred in the cemetery and not scattered with utter disregard of the dead man’s memory and the ordinary feelings of life.
