The Hannibal Journal, Thursday, September 6, 1849
From the California Trace
The following extract of a letter confirming the melancholy death of our 
esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr. William Tattershal, is from the last "Howard 
County Banner," from J. E. Bouldin, Esq., of Glasgow, Mo., dated at Pishapaw 
Creek, N. M., July 7, 1849.  Another letter published in the "Fayette 
Democrat," states that Dr. Bull, (of this city) was in attendance within ten 
minutes after the accident, but could not save him -- and that after a funeral 
sermon, by Rev. Benjamin Stephens, (of this neighborhood) the body was 
decently interred.


Additional Comments:
The accident:  Three men were shooting antelope.  Their horses became 
excited.  One of the men accidentally shot Wm. Tattershal/Tattership.
