  	The following is an excerpt from a letter sent by John's mother to his father, who was in the gold fields of California at the time: You can imagine the pleasure and consolation your letter was to me, when I relate to you the state of my health and bereavement. I was not able to sit up in bed without assistance when I received it. Dear husband my heart is filled with the deepest emotions of sorrow when I attempt to write that our little son is numb with the dead, on the 22 of March his spirit left this earth for that bright home beyond the skies, which he often talked about. John L. had just recovered from an attack of the lung fever in Galena [where she had been staying with her family] we came home in January...then wrote that John had a cough but was in hopes he would be better when warm weather came. He was taken with a chill, Tuesday morning and died on Saturday morning, with inflammation on his lungs. On Sunday he was taken to your Fathers [probably Dr. Loofburrow] and buried by the side of his little brother.
