Francis Dickson and Edward Stevenson were murdered while out on a prospecting tour in 1851, by the Indians in California. In addition to the above names, three brothers, sons of Myron Gaylord of Round Prairie, went out the same year. One of them died there, another was killed by a grizzly bear while on a hunting excursion, and the other returned home.

Also Lemuel Sparks and son, Samuel Fisher of Brooklyn, and probably others whose names we have not obtained went out in 1849. Mr. Sparks has since died. Fourteen of the above are now residents of the county, nineteen are still living in California, the remainder are either dead or are now scattered in different portions of the earth.
