Idaho World  June 16 1870
BODY RECOVERED---
On last Friday evening the body of John Wheelen (Not Wheeler, as published in 
our last issue), who was buried in the slide, on the Hafendorfer Bros. claims 
last week, was found near the lower end of the slide, about two hundred feet 
or more from where the slide struck him. With the exceptions of a few bruises 
and a severe cut on the head, the body was in a good state of preservation. 
The deceased was a native of the state of Maine, and aged about38 years. The 
funeral took place on last Saturday, and was well attended. In connection with 
the matter, Messrs, Hafendorfers request us to return their thanks to Noble, 
Saunders & Co. and to their employes for the prompt assistance and aid 
rendered by them in the endeavors to recover the bodt of the unfortunate 
deceased. Messers,Wilhelm and Mofit, who were injured at the same time, are 
getting along finely, and are able to be out on the street.

Additional Comments:
Accident happened at Charcoal Gulch.
