GEORGE MUCK PASSES AWAY
A. Levy of Dunsmuir received word Wednesday that George Muck,
died at Shasta County Hospital Saturday last. Mr. Muck
was thrown from a wagon about 2 weeks ago, with a leg being
broken. He was brought to Dunsmuir for treatment, and later
sent to Shasta County Hospital. Pneumonia set in which added
to the severe shock of the injuries, proving too much for a
constitution weakened by old age.
For a number of years Mr. Muck, 70, had resided near the Old
Red Cross Sawmill up Lower Soda Creek. He was at one time a
quite well off rancher, but died in poverty.
