Found Body Eight Days After Death

MANTON -- Charles Baker, who was found dead in his cabin in the woods last Friday, was aged 80 years. At the inquest held Saturday the physician to the Coroner stated that from appearances Baker had been dead eight of ten days when his body was discovered by the stockmen who accidentally sought shelter in the cabin from a passing storm.

Up to last October Baker owned a good ranch and several head of stock. Realizing that he had but a few years at best to live, he deeded his entire estate to Mrs. E.A. Stone, of Manton, who had cared for him in several spells of sickness. The only consideration mentioned in the deed was gratitude. Mrs. Stone, grateful for the substantial gift, paid all the expenses of the funeral, which was held here yesterday afternoon.

Battams, Thomas
Shasta Courier, Saturday., Nov. 30, 1883

ANOTHER FAREWELL

The sombre plumes which announce the presence of Death have again waved before our eyes, and we are called on to say Thomas Battams has bid eternal adieu to the scenes he loved best and closed his eyes forever on all the treasures he cherished most on earth. He died in Buckeye, Nov. 24th, surrounded by his devoted wife, children and a number of mourning friends, and was buried at Redding the following day. "Tom" Battams, as we all familiarly called him, came to Shasta in 1852, and mined on Dog Bar alongside of H. H. Shuffleton and the late John Ellis for some time. Leaving there, he mined on the east side of the Sacramento for years past, of which time he was a partner of Supervisor Nichols.

He was married in 1868, by Judge Bush, to the then acknowledged belle of Shasta county, Lavina Whiting, and leaves her and two bright children to feel the protecting arm of her husband and father. Deceased was a native of England and aged 56 years. California's sun-light will never fall upon and gild with its golden rays a mound raised over a better heart than that under which Tom Battams lies asleep, awaiting the day when all shall come forth to be judged according to the deeds done in the body.

Monday morning last, on North Cow Creek, Christopher Buckley died very suddenly. He was well on Saturday, but on Sunday was a little unwell and on his request the Chinese doctor was sent for and the Chinese doctor sent him some stuff which he took, but by the time it arrived Buckley was in convulsions and soon died. As the cause of death was unknown an inquest was held and the fact then came out that shortly before the man died he barked like a dog and snapped and panted and the froth ran from his mouth in streams. As the symptoms indicated hydrophobia the jury gave in a verdict to that effect. Mr. Buckley was a native of California, aged about 25 years, and leaves no family; he had resided in the county about three years, and is said to have been the nephew of Chris Buckley of San Francisco
