determination to disturb the last jest
ing place., of .the, Pioneer -woman was
reached when it was learned, that the
ground in which, her grave was dug
would some day be dredged. Her
grave, unmarked, except by a low
fence, was located on the right limit
of Discovery, a short distance above
the former Cleary City, which at the
time, of her iewth, in 1004, was known
£s Gates Citv,. named after the then
famous “Swiftwater Bill” Gates, who
was in the. money there at the time.
Mrs, Crawford’s death was .ascribed to.
the swallowing of a pin. Cleary was
in its early ImOm. and boasted.neither
, a physician .nor a clergyman. James
Wicker sham. afterwards federal juge

Delegated 'Johgress, was mining oa
the creek at the time, and it fell to
him to construct the coffin and con

i perfect state of preservation, ice hav-,
j ing encased it shortly after it wasi
lowered, into a shallow grave.
