74 MARCH 2, 3, 4, 1866 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1866
MARRIED. In this city, Feb. 28th, by John Kendall, J.P., John H. Hamilton to Louisa B. Meade,
both of this city.
PAPER IN THE NEW DISTRICT.—We learn from the Stars & Stripes that E. B. Boust of the
Dutch Flat Enquirer, will issue the first number of the Summit City Reveille, about the first of next
month. It will be a fair sized sheet, printed on new material, and will be issued at first as a weekly. Boust
is an old hand at the business, and will no doubt give the miners of the new district a spicy paper. We
have also heard rumors to the effect that the Virginia Union and Washoe Times would be brought to the
new district in the Spring.
GRATUITOUS ADVICE.—Several papers have taken occasion in their columns to suggest to Rev.
Mr. Dryden, what course he should take in his sermon on “National Affairs,” on next Sunday evening.
One suggests that he “draw it mildly,” another that he should not preach politics. The Rev. gentleman is
an independent thinker, and a loyal man. He will probably “draw it” to suit himself, and according to his
convictions of truth and justice, without regard to the gratuitous advice, and he will no doubt satisfy his
audience by so doing.
SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1866
OBITUARY. E. W. Smith, one of the oldest residents of this city died at his residence on Park
Avenue yesterday afternoon. He came to this city in 1850 [1849], and since that time he has
taken an active part in all matters of interest. For eight years he held the office of Justice of the
Peace. He was respected by all who knew him and every citizen will mourn his loss.
MARRIED. At the residence of the Bride’s father, in North San Juan, on the 28th ult. by Rev. J. W.
Ross, Mr. J. E. Matteson to Miss Caroline O. Johnson daughter of J. B. Johnson, Esq.
W. W. Atwell, formerly a resident of this county, has become one of the proprietors of the Woodland
News. Atwell is better known as “Bill Dad the Scribe,” under which he wrote in the Golden Era.
Atwell says many good things, and as he takes editorial charge of the News it cannot fail to become an
interesting paper.
SUNDAY, MARCH 4, 1866
DEATH OF JUDGE SMITH.—E. W. Smith, one of the oldest residents, and one of the most worthy
citizens of this city, departed this life on Friday last. For a period of three weeks prior to his decease he
had been suffering from a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, but was supposed to be improving
and out of danger until 4 o’clock on Friday afternoon, when his disease appears to have reached his heart,
causing death in a few minutes.
Judge Smith was born in Jefferson county, New York, on the 13th day of November 1824. He came
to California in 1849, and has been a resident of this city ever since. He was once appointed one of the
Associate Judges of this county and has been acting Justice of the Peace for 8 years past. The duties
devolving upon him in this latter capacity he discharged with unusual ability and fairness. He also
closely identified himself with, and was a sincere and efficient supporter of our public schools, and much
of the prosperity and success that have attended them for a few years past can be traced to the zealous
