The Late Mortality in
Rodney, The hand of the “yellow tyrant of the tropics”
Was sore
and heavy upon our neighboring city of Rodney, especially when it is
considered that most of the inhabitants fled, and that, during the
mortality, the population of the village, white and black, did not
exceed one hundred souls. The following list of the names of the
victims was politely furnished to us by Mr. A G Carpenter, who
volunteered, as druggist, to accompany Dr. Benbrook, who went up to
Rodney in the darkest night of their peril, to risk life in the
fearful combat against a disease that has prostrated nearly every
physician in the place. Mr. Carpenter staid much longer than Dr.
Benbrook, and did not leave until every vestige of the epidemic had
vanished. These gentlemen deserve the highest commendation for their
self sacrificing zeal in favor of suffering humanity. The only
reward they have as yet obtained (as far as we know) is the
approbation of their own consciences, and the applause of their
fellow citizens, who trembled for their safety while they were
absent on their perilous errand of mercy.
Mr. Carpenter derived the following list of the dead from Mr.
Thornsbury, the mechanic who assisted in making the coffins: it is
probably as correct as the disturbed and frightful state of affairs
in the depopulated village could permit any one to furnish:
List

number, it is said we were mistaken. It is now reported the firing
upon the church by The Confed. Calvary, was when one of the Naval
Officers attempted to escape through the window.
The Owyhee
Avalanche, (Ruby City, ID) Saturday, March 25, 1871
On
Friday evening last week , says the Elko Independent of the 18
inst., the westbound accommodation train had two passenger cars
attached, one of which was filled by a family named Wilson, from
Fayette County, Mississippi. The old gentleman and lady, sixty
five and sixty years
respectively, with their sons and daughters,
wives and husbands, and children to the third generation,
were on their way to join a brother who is a large landholder in Los
Angeles, California . It was an interesting sight to see this
family of thirty five persons, of all sizes and ages, ranging from
three months to sixty years, thus moving across our continent
so quietly and comfortably compared to what the trip was a few
years since. The old patriarch and his wife were as smart as
any of them.
