I am desperatly trying to find out where my g grandfather was buried. All I have is an obit from Council Bluffs iowa that states...
Stutely E. Wicks. a citizen of this city, who has been in the gold regions of Montana Territory for the last two years, died on his way home at Soda Springs, Utah Territory, on the 22d day of September, 1865.
Mr. Wicks was an old citizen of this county, having lived here for many years before the Indian title to the lands was extinguished and was well respected by all who knew him.
We understand that he was taken sick in the mountains and through the kindess of John and Lee Clark was conveyed as far as Soda Springs on his way home, where he became so ill that they were forced to leave him in the care of kind friends who did all they could to relieve his sufferings, which continued but
a few days. He was decently buried near the Springs by the kindness of friends, who took the sick stranger in and administered to his wants, and made his last hours in this world as comfortable as their circumstances would permit.
Council Bluffs (IA) Bugle, Thursday, 9 November 1865
If anyone could please help, even to just give me some ideas on where to start, I would be so thankful!! Thanks so much, Robbi Hoy
