Reno Evening Gazette January 24, 1877
Frozen to Death. - About three o'clock yesterday afternoon Robt. Pashby and
Chas. Oernst started on foot to Peavine.  Oernst complained, after traveling a
few miles, of a pain in his right side.  The weather was very cold at the time,
but both men went ahead as fast as they could, hoping to reach the Junction
House by dark.  Oernst failed rapidly, and when within a few hundred yards of
the house as unable to proceed further.  Pashby went on to the Junction House
and got Mr. Polland to go with him after Oernst, bu the services of both men
were required to get him to the house, when in about ten minutes thereafter he
died.  To-day undertaker Saunders went up after his body.  Oernst was a steady,
sober man, about 35 years old, and leaves a wife and several children now
residing at Poeville.  He had been an employee on the Con. Poe mine and was n
humble circumstances in life.
