Today I was down at Mary’s house a little above the old mill below New West City – I was standing in the door talking to her. She looked out on the river and saw something floating down the river. She asked me what it was & said she thought it was not a stick but that it was the body of the Chinaman who had fallen in the river a few days ago. I helped her to get her canoe & go out to the body when we brought it ashore and then brought it to town. | Today I was down at Mary’s house a little above the old mill below New West City – I was standing in the door talking to her.
