Reno Evening Gazette May 21, 1881
Body Recovered
R. P. Ferguson’s body was recovered from the Truckee river yesterday afternoon.
 The train men on No. 7 saw the body in an eddy in the river at Camp 25.  They
stopped the train and tried to secure the body, but before they could do so it
was whirled in the current again.  The boys notified some section men at work
near by, and they soon succeeded in recovering the body.  A coffin arrived from
Truckee and the remains were forwarded to that place yesterday.  When found the
body was much bruised and nearly destitute of clothing.  The funeral will take
place in Truckee tomorrow at 2 P.M.
