Stockton Mail, August 19, 1892
"He Was With Marshall.  CAMBRIA, August 18. - Peter Weimer [sic], a pioneer,
aged 82, died at the residence of his brother in-law, John Phipps, near
Josephine, San Luis Obispo county, yesterday.  Deceased was at Coloma, El Dorado
county, with [James] Marshall when gold was first discovered in this State, and
his wife, who died some time ago, always carried on her person the piece of gold
found on that memorable occasion, and though often offered fabulous prices would
never part with so interesting a souvenir."
