Captain Dick, Indian Chief
Reading Independent, Monday, November 18, 1878

DEATH OF CAPTAIN DICK

Captain Dick, Chief of the Fall River Indians, died, after a lingering illness, near Burgettville, Nov. 7, 1878, aged about 33 years. Captain Dick has been "Big Tyee" of the Fall River Indians for about 15 years, having been chosen to that office through the advice and influence of the late Dick Pugh. Captain Dick has ever been a warm friend to the whites, by profession at least, and it is hoped that when his successor is chosen, that no worse Indian may be selected.

The funeral was attended by about 300 Indians, and conformed in most reposects to the modes of civilized life. The body was handsomely dressed in a new suit of clothes, with kid gloves, white shirt, gold studs and collar button, and inclosed in a stylish covered and mounted coffin. At the request of many of the Indians the Rev. A.F. Hubbard conducted the burial services, during which the most quiet order prevailed, and while prayer was being offered at the grave, each individual Indian knelt on the ground, bowing the head on the hands in the most reverent manner, forming a scene on the banks of the crystal stream never before witnessed and long to be remembered by those who witnessed its solemn picturesqueness.

Dick's last advice to his subjects was that they must not kill any more Indian doctors, as it was wrong, and was not the custom of the whites, whose customs he wished them to adopt. Several Indians have been spoken of as Dick's successor, but no one has yet been chosen. It is hoped that they will choose no worse Indian than Captain Dick. Peace to his ashes.

Mrs. Carpenter came with her husband to Muck valley in June, 1872. There they remained until the fall of 1873, when they moved into Bib valley and settled in what was then Siskiyou and is now Modoc county, thee miles north of where the Town of Lookout was founded in 1880.

Funeral To-day of Mrs. Andy Cusick

REDDING -- The funeral of Mrs. Andy Cusick, of Middle Creek, whose death occurred Sunday in Red Bluff, as told in yesterday's Bee, was held here this morning from the Catholic Church.

Mrs. Cusick was a pioneer of the county, all of her life but the first eight years having been spent within its borders. For fourteen years she and her husband conducted the Tower House, between Shasta and French Gulch, a famous stopping place in the days of stage coaches. For the last nineteen years Mrs. Cusick was Postmaster at Middle Creek (Waugh), and resigned only a little over a month ago. No one could be found in the small settlement to take the position she had held so long, largely as a matter of public accommodation, and so the office was abolished.

Mrs. Cusick was survived by her husband and eight children, among whom are Mrs. Dom O'Gara, of Red Bluff, James Cusick, of Dunsmuir, and Mrs. Maggie Plummer, of Seattle.
